Refer to table 9.9: Germicidal Categories According to Chemical Group in your textbook, page 266.

Using the information on the table and what you have learned about Microbes answer the following questions:

If you could only choose one chemical agent to use in your home, which would you choose and why?
Why would you not choose some of the other choices?
Discussion Expectations:

The minimum requirements for class discussions are to respond directly to the discussion prompt and to respond to at least two other posts, by other students or the instructor, by the end of the week. The discussion will close on the due date and will NOT be reopened for a late submission.

Submit one main post responding directly to each part of the discussion prompt(s) by Wednesday at 11:59pm Eastern Standard Time

This should be a substantive response (between 75 -150 words minimum) to the topic(s) in your own words, referencing (using APA format) what you have discovered in your required reading and other learning activities.

 Superman and Me by Sherman Alexie

After reading Superman and Me by Sherman Alexie interpret the following quotes from the story and what you think they mean:

“Inside our house, each family member existed as a separate paragraph, but still had genetics and common experiences to link us.”

“I loved those books, but I also knew that love had only one purpose. I was trying to save my life.”

Your post must be 150 words.

To Prepare

• Refer to;
• the “Population-Focused Nurse Practitioner Competencies” in  the Learning Resources, and consider the quality measures or indicators advanced practice nurses must possess in your specialty.
• your “Clinical Skills Self-Assessment Form” you submitted  in Week 1 and consider your strengths and opportunities for improvement.
•   your Patient Log ; consider the patient activities you have experienced in your practicum experience and reflect on your observations and experiences.

In 450–500 words, address the following:

Learning From Experiences

• Revisit the goals and objectives from your Practicum Experience  Plan. Explain the degree to which you achieved each during the practicum  experience.
• Reflect on the 3 most challenging patients you encountered during  the practicum experience.
• What;
• was most challenging about each?
•  did you learn from this experience?
• resources were available?
•  evidence-based practice did you use for the patients?
• would you do differently?
• How are you managing patient flow and volume?  How can you apply  your growing skillset to be a social change agent within your community?

Communicating and Feedback

• Reflect on how you might improve your skills and knowledge and how to communicate those efforts to your Preceptor.
• Answer these questions: How am I doing? What is missing?
• Reflect on the formal and informal feedback you received from your Preceptor.

Topic 5 DQ 1

In comparison to quantitative research, qualitative research takes a different approach to issue resolution. The most significant distinction is in how an issue is handled. The technique is largely exploratory in character in the qualitative world. The researcher goes further into the subject until he or she reaches a core of knowledge that can be applied to issue resolution. Quantitative methods can take vast amounts of data, sometimes from millions of people. And quantify it into trends that can improve medical practices over the norm (Crick J. 2021) . Qualitative research often relies on in-depth interviews with small groups of individuals. Whereas quantitative methods can take vast amounts of data. Sometimes from millions of people. And quantify it into trends that can improve medical practices over the norm.

The goal of qualitative research is to get a better understanding of underlying causes and motives, as well as to give insights into the context of an issue, provide ideas and/or hypotheses for future quantitative research, and discover popular thinking and opinion patterns. Evaluating and confirming already created ideas about how and why events occur, as well as testing hypotheses that are constructed before evidence is gathered, are all advantages.

large random samples

It’s used to generalize study findings when the data is based on sufficiently large random samples, and to generalize a research conclusion when it’s been repeated on a variety of populations and subpopulations. It’s beneficial for gathering data that can be used to make quantitative forecasts.(Mohajan H, 2021).

Data may be collected quickly utilizing quantitative approaches (e.g., telephone interviews). It gives accurate, quantitative, numerical data, and the study findings are largely self-contained. Statistical software saves time when it comes to data analysis. One drawback is that the categories employed in the study may not reflect the understandings of local constituents.

Using 200-300 words APA format with at least two references to support the discussion.

The theoretical foundations of qualitative and quantitative methods are very different, but many researchers believe both methods should be used in the research study to increase validity and reliability. What advantages or disadvantages do you see in using both types of methods in a nursing study? Support your answer with current evidence-based literature.
