This course is designed to prepare investigators involved in the design and/or conduct of research involving human subjects to understand their obligations to protect the rights and welfare of subjects in research. The course material presents basic concepts, principles, and issues related to the protection of research participants.  Please provide quality, graduate level answers. This means there has to be references and important to look for references beyond your textbook; the content has to be meaningful especially if you are getting 10 points for each question 

Evidence based research involving human subjects requires that researchers be cognizant of and adhere to the important tenets necessary to protect subjects from abuse, harm, injury, and/or other undesirable outcomes resulting from the research process.  Based on this fact, write a minimum of 2 pages (Title page and Reference not included in page count) of an APA formatted paper answering the following questions with a minimum of 3 “short” sentences for each question: 

1. Historical background of human subjects protection? (10 points)
2. Find and discuss at least one historical incident of human subjects abuse in research and what human right was violated. (10 points)
3. What steps will you take to minimize risks on human subjects? (10 points)
4. What populations are considered vulnerable populations and why? (10 points)
5. What are appropriate ways to recruit subjects? (10 points)
6. How would you properly obtain consent? (10 points)
7. What are the elements of a properly executed consent? (10 points) 
8. What committees are responsible for monitoring the protection of human subjects? (10 points) the above are also the RUBRIC.

Scoring Scheme:

• Total points for questions/content: 80 points
• Title page and a minimum of 2 References: 10 points
• Minimum of 3 “short” sentences to answer each question: 10 points
• TOTAL POINTS: 100 (the gradebook will re-weight this total as 50 points or 5% of the course grade)

NOTE: This is a written APA formatted assignment and “NOT” a YES or NO answer assignment. You are expected to answer each question with at least 3 short sentences, points will be deducted for using a single sentence. Title and Reference pages are required.

Expectations

• Length: a minimum of 2 pages, title page and references not included in page count
• Citations: a minimum of 2

APA style (in text citations and references)

Plagiarism FREE

A minimum of 3 evidence-based references no older than 5 years must be used.

1. Examine this case study through the dependency cycle model (Fig. 14.3). The outer arrows show a progression through varying stages of dependency. The inner circle represents who can be involved in the dependency cycle. Where are Jane and Dan in this cycle?

2. Using the basic dependent-care system model (Fig. 14.4), assess Dan and Jane. Identify the basic conditioning factors (BCFs) for each. What is the effect of Dan’s BCFs on his self-care agency? Is he able to meet his therapeutic self-care demands? Continue on to diagnose Dan’s self-care deficit and resulting dependent-care deficit. Now assess Jane’s self-care system.

3. Design a nursing system that addresses Jane’s self-care system as she increases her role as dependent-care agent for Dan.

Chapter 14: Risk of Infectious and Communicable Diseases

There is a planned community health project to decrease the incidence of human papilloma virus (HPV).

1. Who is/are the target population? Why?

2. What are some key factors to consider when planning an HPV prevention program?

5. Locate a systematic review on your topic from the CCN Library databases. Be sure this involves nursing actions.
6. Work through each step of the ACE Star Model as outlined on the assignment form (Star Points 1-5: Discovery, Summary, Translation, Implementation, and Evaluation). Respond to the instructions provided on the form.
7. Follow the activities and thinking of Nurse Daniel in Weeks 1-6 in the ‘Illustration’ part of each lesson. He will be working through a clinical topic and nursing practice issue to demonstrate a change (ACE Star Model and systematic review).
8. Work on a portion of the process each week, as the illustration unfolds.

In this assignment, you will be writing a 1,000-1,250 word paper describing the differing approaches of nursing leaders and managers to issues in practice. To complete this assignment, do the following:

1. Select an issue from the following list: bullying, unit closers and restructuring, floating, nurse turnover, nurse staffing ratios, use of contract employees (i.e., registry and travel nurses), or magnet designation.
2. Describe the selected issue. Discuss how it impacts quality of care and patient safety in the setting in which it occurs.
3. Discuss how professional standards of practice should be demonstrated in this situation to help rectify the issue or maintain professional conduct.
4. Explain the differing roles of nursing leaders and nursing managers in this instance and discuss the different approaches they take to address the selected issue and promote patient safety and quality care. Support your rationale by using the theories, principles, skills, and roles of the leader versus manager described in your readings.
5. Discuss what additional aspects mangers and leaders would need to initiate in order to ensure professionalism throughout diverse health care settings while addressing the selected issue.
6. Describe a leadership style that would best address the chosen issue. Explain why this style could be successful in this setting.

My evidence-based practice project is to improve workplace violence by increasing awareness, responding to incidents and improving policies in place. With these new measures in place, the Emergency Department will be a safe place to work. To make my project successful, variables play an important part in improving the process and how to evaluate it.

     I will need to determine the independent and dependent variables to improve the safety of the Emergency Department. Workplace violence on the Emergency Department staff is the dependent variable and the independent variable is the number of workplace violence incidents they encounter. I would evaluate independent variables by collecting data from workplace incidents that had occurred in the last year and interview ED staff to collect data from as many members as possible about workplace incidents.

     The dependent variable is workplace violence (verbal, physical and emotional abuse) on Emergency Department on staff. Studies show that the Emergency Department has higher statistics of violence because of independent variables like stress, long wait times, unpredictable and challenging situations.

     If a process or improved policy is made, it can help improve other departments of hospitals and clinics where WPV occurs. Other dependent variables can include workplace violence in different departments on different staff members that are a part of psychiatric facilities, floors amongst the hospitals and outpatient clinics. When the evaluation of current policies and responses to “Code Greys” are reviewed and analyzed, we can implement changes depending on the variables that are collected.
