 CAT: For the research of relationship of smoking and lung cancer, is it an experimental, quasi-experimental, and nonexperimental research? Why

Experimental Group: The group in a research study that receives the experimental drug, treatment, or procedure (Helbig, 2018).

Experimental [Randomized] Research Design: A type of quantitative research design that is highly controlled to study cause and effect with independent and dependent variables (Helbig, 2018).

• Example: Researcher manipulates one or more areas (independent) in the effects of temperature and humidity on work performance with at least two variables (high temp, low humidity and low temp, high humidity, etc.) within as many different workplace settings as available. The researcher could then measure the performance of workers in each condition (dependent) (Stone-Romero, 2011).

Quasi-Experimental Research Design: A type of quantitative research design that is partially controlled that studies cause and effect of variables (Helbig, 2018). No randomization.

• Example: People received performance-contingent pay based on their work but their supervisors would be responsible for the planned and unplanned treatment (performance-contingent treatment) or if their supervisor did not deliver as planned could offset the design (Stone-Romero, 2011). The studies need to be fair across the board and we cannot guarantee that all supervisors will “grade” their employees on the same scale or fairly, people are picked accordingly without randomization but can be useful when experimental experiments are not possible.

Nonexperimental Research: A research study that does not involve an experimental drug, treatment, or procedure (Helbig, 2018). Quantitative or qualitative.

• Example: Causes are assumed to be measured instead of manipulated; studying the relation between job enrichment and satisfaction. This is not a randomized study the data are collected from units that have independent variable from unknown causes. “The assumption would be erroneous if the self-reports systematically as a function of factors other than objective levels of enrichment” (Stone-Romero, 2011). Since this design deals with measured levels, it can be found to have very low levels of validity. This type of design may be more likely to be manipulated since it is measured instead of manipulated so there may be “favoritism” so this type should be avoided if possible.

The differences between each can be seen in the definitions but an experimental research design is quantitative that is highly controlled study where the dependent and independent variables matter, quasi-experimental is also quantitative but is only partially controlled with no randomization, and last, nonexperimental it is research that does not involve experimental drugs, treatments or procedures; it can be qualitative or quantitative.

I need help writing a paper for my Health Administration and Records Management class

IF U KNOW HOW using spss program plz enter 

if you don’t know spss plz not waste my time I will give u 0 stars then

Discussion Question 1

Based on your performance and the expert feedback in your HISTORY collection, describe two missed questions and your understanding of why they were important to collect for this case history. Use specific references from your text to explain.

Discussion Question 2

Based on your performance and the expert feedback in your PHYSICAL EXAM collection, describe two errors in your exam performance or documentation. Use specific references from your text to explain the importance of these findings in correct assessment of this client.

Discussion Question 3

Based on your performance on the PHYSICAL EXAM collection, describe one key finding that you included in your list and describe a specific physical exam that you can perform at the point-of-care to further evaluate the finding. Use specific references from your text.

Discussion Question 4

Based on your performance and the expert feedback in your ASSESSMENT identification of problem categories, choose one missed/incorrect category and use specific references from your text to explain the importance of this category in arriving at correct differential diagnoses for this client.

Discussion Question 5

Based on your performance and the expert feedback in your ASSESSMENT of differential diagnoses, describe one incorrect/missed differential diagnosis and use specific references from your text to support the inclusion of the diagnosis for this client.

 Clearly, diagnosis is a critical aspect of healthcare. However, the ultimate purpose of a diagnosis is the development and application of a series of treatments or protocols. Isolated recognition of a health issue does little to resolve it.

In this module’s Discussion, you applied the Clark Healthy Workplace Inventory to diagnose potential problems with the civility of your organization. In this Portfolio Assignment, you will continue to analyze the results and apply published research to the development of a proposed treatment for any issues uncovered by the assessment.

To Prepare:

• Review the Resources and examine the Clark Healthy Workplace Inventory, found on page 20 of Clark (2015).
• Review the Work Environment Assessment Template.
• Select and review one or more of the following articles found in the Resources:
  • Clark, Olender, Cardoni, and Kenski (2011)
  • Clark (2018)

Case Study #1- due 10/30: Sample Case Study Template

A case study presentation is a way of communicating information to your colleagues. Often a case presentation highlights an unusual presentation, feature, condition, complication, or intervention. Case reports can describe important and insightful information that helps to expand knowledge and may generate research ideas. For this assignment, you will complete one case presentation, each on a patient case selected from the literature or a real case from a clinical setting. The case should be typical, for example, common depression or anxiety. Select  a case that you feel is interesting and contributed to your learning. Use the template provided below to help guide your paper. Case workup is  designed to provide students opportunity to apply knowledge related to a particular case and management of all items related to and including psychopharmacologic treatment. This is an individual assignment. Feel free to choose a  different stage of life, by age range, with common Psychiatric Mental Health (PMH) symptoms, and management strategies. The stages are as follows: adult,

between ages 18-65.  

The following components must be provided: diagnosis, developmental stage, methods used to define diagnosis and rationale; anticipation of treatment course. Briefly describe the clinical presentation, appropriate testing (both focused physical exams as appropriate, and Psychiatric Diagnostic Evaluation findings and appropriate work-ups of clinical symptoms). Include subsequent co-morbidities, if any and discuss the treatment plan for a common PMH disorder.

The case presentations are each a 8-10 pages paper (excluding title page, abstract, references, and appendices) in APA format described in the APA Publication Manual (6th ed). Each case paper will have its own grading rubric. The case presentation will also include additional development and/or stage of life considerations, and a corresponding to the manuscript.

Case Study #2 due 11/15:  CS #2 Template

Signature Assignment (Psychopharmacology Treatment Algorithm)

Using your learning experience from your clinical experience, preceptor input and evidence-based literature, develop a pharmacology treatment Algorithm of a patient with a DSM diagnosis. You can use your readings to change and add to your work, but it must be an original and not a copy of an algorithm from someone else. This is an algorithm developed specifically for this client to demonstrate your critical thinking throughout the treatment planning.  The following areas must be covered in the assignment.

• Overview of your initial      patient clinical assessment including: Chief compliant, medical      history, psychiatric history, psychosocial, mental status examination.
• Using the information from      the assessment, reading materials and textbook, develop an       evidence-based algorithm for four treatment stages, tailored to this      individual. The information must include interview questions needed      to guide decision-making at the different stages, length of treatment      in trial/initiation period, dosage titration schedule and duration of      time the client should stay on the medication, factors that might influence the effectiveness of the      medications, necessary labs and test, and patient education. Include pertinent side      effects profiles that would warrant a change in the medication being      prescribed and a brief reasoning for your decisions.
