A.  What are you trying to ascertain, in other words, what are some of the medical diagnosis that come to mind?

B.  What nursing care should you implement?

C.  What are some of your outcomes?

the relationship between the variables in dataset

You will describe the relationship between the variables in your dataset by interpreting the Scatter Plot that you have created. You will describe this relationship by answering the following questions:
1. Insert the Scatter Plot you have created into your post.
2. Describe the following characteristics of the correlation result as interpreted from the Scatter Plot you just created
– strength 
– direction
3. Is this a Pearson r Scatter Plot or a Spearman Rho Scatter Plot? Justify your answer. 
4. Based on your interpretation of the Scatter Plot you have created, formulate a null hypothesis consistent with these results. 
5. Are there outliers in this data set? How do you assess for these when interpreting a Scatter Plot? 
6. What additional information do you need to determine if this correlation is statistically significant? Does the Scatter Plot provide this information? If the correlation is statistically significant, does that mean you reject or fail to reject H0?

professional and personal growth through a spirit of inquiry

Purpose

Evidence-based practice is initiated by nurses and other healthcare professionals who identify questions about specific health-related interventions and the outcomes of those interventions on individuals and populations. The creation of a PICOT question helps guide evidence-based initiatives. The purpose of this worksheet is to provide an opportunity to explore the development of a PICOT question as a foundation for evidence-based practice.   CO1: Integrate evidence-based practice and research to support advancement of holistic nursing care in diverse healthcare settings. (PO 1, 4)

CO2: Integrate knowledge related to evidence-based practice and person-centered care to improve healthcare outcomes.  (PO 1, 2)

CO3: Demonstrate professional and personal growth through a spirit of inquiry, scholarship, and service in diverse healthcare settings. (PO 3, 4)

CO4: Develop knowledge related to research and evidence-based practice as a basis for designing and critiquing research studies.  (PO 1, 2, 5)

Requirements:

  1. Review the elements included in PICOT questions to guide evidence-based nursing practice.
  2. Respond to the questions below using the PICOT Question Worksheet Template 
  3. Using a minimum of 3 scholarly nursing sources, current within 5 years:
    • Identify and describe one practice-related issue or concern.  You may choose to build on the practice issue you identified in NR500NP/NR501NP.
    • Explain why the issue/concern is important to nurse practitioner practice and its impact on health outcomes.
    • Describe each element of your PICOT question in one or two sentences, being sure to address all of the following:
      • P-Population and problem– What is the nursing practice concern or problem and whom does it affect?
      • I–Intervention– What evidence-based solution for the problem would you like to apply?
      • C–Comparison– What is another solution for the problem? Note that this is typically the current practice, no intervention at all, or alternative solutions.
      • O–Outcome– Very specifically, how will you know that the intervention worked? Think about how you will measure the outcome.
      • T–Time frame– What is the Timeframe involved for the EBP initiative or the target date of completion?
    • Construct your PICOT question in the standard PICOT question format (narrative) and define each letter separately, such as:
      • P =
      • I =
      • C =
      • O =
      • T =
      • PICOT question written in full =
  4. At the graduate level, we like to see you synthesizing your ideas into your own words. No direct quotes may be used in this worksheet.
  5. Use APA formatting guidelines for references and citations.

Technological Or Human Induced Disaster

Technological Or Human Induced Disaster

We have already discussed weather related natural disasters. And bioterrorism, and now we will focus on other types of disasters. For this week’s discussion, you are asked to research a technological or human induced disaster.

(This not the same as in Weeks 3 and 4 where you might have discussed hostage situations. Mass shootings, multiple-vehicle or mass transit accidents with multiple critical injuries, bioterrorism, and disease outbreaks.) Here you want to look at situations such as radiological, nuclear accidents. Technological disasters (electromagnetic pulse), and hazardous material spills.

In your post, provide the name of the incident you have chosen, and support your answers with evidence/examples. Please provide a working link and a citation for your source(s).

Select 2 of the items below to discuss:

  1. At what point does a technological or man made event become labeled a disaster?
  2. Name and explain the impact categories associated with your disaster.
  3. How well do you think the United States is prepared for a disaster like the one you selected?
  4. Discuss the factors that can influence the effects a disaster may have on a community or region.
  5. What nursing interventions would be a priority for these victims?
  6. What community resources should be provided to the victims for follow up needs?

Support your answer with evidence from scholarly sources.

Abortion

Abortion is one of the most difficult and controversial moral issues we will consider. Listen to both sides, even if it is difficult to do. Both sides have important moral insights, even if ultimately these insights are outweighed by the insights of the other side. The goal of this discussion is not to convince you to accept one position over the other, but to help you to understand both sides. As you consider this difficult issue, it is important to distinguish two questions:

  • Is abortion morally wrong?
  • Should abortion be illegal?

Choose one of the questions above and argue both sides with supporting evidence
