aspects of integrity in the classroom

aspects of integrity in the classroom

As a leader, one of the many qualities that you must embrace during your journey, as a professional or a student, is integrity. According to Telford & Gostick (2005), “integrity is tough taskmaster… the ability to consistently act in accordance with their own principles is one thing that sets people of integrity apart” (pg. 1). As we begin this education journey, let’s take a moment to review aspects of integrity in the classroom. Begin by reviewing and completing the graduate tutorial at the following source.

Once you have completed your tutorial, you will receive a certificate. Submit the Certificate in your Case 1 Assignment dropbox (Note: you can submit multiple attachments). Please note that you MUST complete this tutorial, successfully pass the quiz, and submit your certificate before you can progress with Case and SLP assignments beyond Module 1.

delivery of health care

There are three key players in the delivery of health care: 1) the health care organization, 2) the clinician (team of physicians, nurses, medical assistants, and office staff), and 3) the patient (Coqing, Daviono-Ramaya, Ramaya, & Szmerekosky, 2009). For Module 1 Discussion, discuss the influence each key player has on healthcare delivery and explain the importance of integrity for each player.

Your posts will be graded on how well they meet the Discussion Requirements posted in the “Before You Begin” section. Please review this section as well as the discussion scoring rubric.

Evidence-Based Practice

Two professional registered nurses are interested in evidence-based practice and have developed research questions to study.  The nurses discuss what evidence-based practice is all about and are trying to determine if the organizational culture supports nurses who seek out and use research to change long-standing practices that are rooted in tradition rather than science.

1.  What is the best explanation of the difference between evidence-based practice and best practices?

The two registered nurses review a variety of research studies to answer their proposed research questions.

2. What is the difference in the efficacy of randomized controlled trials, integrative reviews, or meta-analysis with practice-based evidence for continuous process improvement?

The registered professional nurses must consider alternative support mechanisms when searching for the best evidence to support their clinical practice.
