Literature Evaluation Table

 

In nursing practice, accurate identification and application of research is essential to achieving successful outcomes. The ability to articulate research data and summarize relevant content supports the student’s ability to further develop and synthesize the assignments that constitute the components of the capstone project.

The assignment will be used to develop a written implementation plan.

For this assignment, provide a synopsis of the review of the research literature. Using the “Literature Evaluation Table,” determine the level and strength of the evidence for each of the eight research articles you have selected. The articles should be current (within the last 5 years) and closely relate to the PICOT question developed earlier in this course. The articles may include quantitative research, descriptive analyses, longitudinal studies, or meta-analysis articles. A systematic review may be used to provide background information for the purpose or problem identified in the proposed capstone project.

Data Collection, Measurement and Analysis

 

M3: Lesson 12 – Discussion

  1. Create an original posting with a minimum of 250-300 words.
  2. Back up your arguments with reliable evidence.

Data Collection, Measurement and Analysis

Scenarios:

A researcher wants to know why individuals in Community A have a higher rate of a rare form of cancer when compared to those living in Community B. To find out the reasons for the differences in cancer rates in these two communities, the investigator surveyed residents about their lifestyle, noted the types of businesses that were present in the community and searched medical records. The researcher found that the headquarters for the Toxico Chemical Plant is located in Community A, there is a higher rate of cigarette smoking in this community and residents tended to delay or skip going to the doctor for an annual checkup. In Community B, the largest employer was a department store and on average, residents did not smoke as much as residents from Community A. However, like individuals from Community A, Community B residents tended to delay or skip their annual checkups with their doctor.

Instructions:

  1. Read the scenario above and answer the following questions:
    1. What makes this a descriptive study?
    2. What type of data collection method was used in this scenario?  What type of collection methods are usually used in descriptive studies?
    3. Why did the researcher collect information about the lifestyle of community residents? What about the type of businesses present in each community? Medical records?
    4. Can the investigator establish that the chemical plant and cigarette smoking are the cause for the higher rate of cancer among those in Community A?
    5. Can the investigator establish that lower smoking rates and the absence of a chemical factory explain the lower rate of cancer among those in Community B?

Advance Pharmacology

Shelly is a 4-year-old preschooler who lives with her parents and younger brother. She and her brother attend a local daycare center during the week while their parents are at work. In the evenings she and her brother take a bath and then their parents read to them before bedtime at 8 PM. Shelly’s daycare class includes many children her age and she enjoys playing outside with them. Although snack times are planned, Shelly would rather play and does not always finish her beverages.

Shelly’s mother calls the clinic and tells the nurse practitioner that Shelly has been “running a fever of 101 F for the past 2 days” and although her temperature decreases to 37.2 C (99 F) with Tylenol, it returns to 38.4 C (101 F) within 4 hours of each dose. Further, her mother says that Shelly complains that “it hurts when I pee-pee”. Shelly’s mother also has noticed that her daughter seems to be in the bathroom “every hour”. She makes an appointment to see the nurse practitioner this afternoon.

The potential diagnosis is UTI.

1.      What other assessment data would be helpful for the nurse practitioner to have?

2.      What are the organisms most likely to cause an UTI?

3.      What is the pharmacological treatment for Shelly? Keep in mind safe dosing.

4.      What are the teaching priorities for Shelly and her mother prior to her discharge from the clinic?

Assignment 07: Training Plan

HA3220D – Health Information Systems

Assignment 07: Training Plan

Develop a training plan and evaluation of training for a hospital that is implementing a new health care information system. 

1. Training Plan In a roughly 1 page double-spaced training plan, include:

Introduction What will this training cover? In what mode/format will occur?  

Training Strategies What training strategies will you use, and why do you feel they will be effective for a system implementation training program?

Probable Issues / Roadblocks to System Implementation and how you will use the training process to reduce their likelihood.

Key Elements that must be included in training for users of a health care information system.

This training plan should be a minimum of 1 page double-spaced in Times New Roman or similar 12-point font.

2. Create an evaluation tool to measure user satisfaction with the training process. You may model it on common questions asked on a customer satisfaction survey, but you should also create questions that can be used to improve the training process and learn more about users’ needs, knowledge, and skills.

Life span Development

 Describe cognitive development in school-age children.

 


 Post should be at least 250 words. 


 Pls,include 2 references.

Caps Discussion W3

Discussion Forum: Peer Review for Scientific and Mathematical/Analytical Inquiry Draft

Post a draft of your scientific and mathematical/analytical inquiry paper for peer review. You should also post your level 1 and level 2 research questions. Identify any questions or challenges you faced with the assignment, or mention something new you learned about the research question and inquiry paper process. Pose specific questions you would like your peers to address.

unit 2 discussion

 It is important for nursing scholars and practitioners to apply the right types of theories to their practices in order to gain greater insight into understanding why human beings do what they do. The components of nursing knowledge, the metaparadigm, conceptual frameworks, models, and theories support the translation of nursing knowledge into real-world practice.

  • What is the difference between a model, theory, framework, and philosophy?
  • How are they related? (Discriminate between the concepts).
