Over the course of the next eight weeks, we will be examining concepts related to nursing research and the translation of evidence to practice. To help you better understand the process, you will be identifying a practice issue for nurse practitioners. You will develop a PICOT question associated with the issue, find evidence to support a change in practice, and present your recommendations for change to your peers. This week, we will work on helping you refine your area of interest so that you will be able to develop a concise question for next week’s assignment. You are encouraged to use the area of interest you chose for the project in NR500NP and/or NR501NP; however, you may choose a different area if you wish.

Select an issue in nurse practitioner (NP) practice that is of interest to you and in which you would like to see a practice change occur. Conduct a review of literature to see what is currently known about the topic. In 1-2 paragraphs, describe the scope and relevance of the issue and your recommended change. Provide reference support from at least two outside scholarly sources to support your ideas.

Requirements:

Discussion Criteria

1. Application of Course Knowledge: The student post contributes unique perspectives or insights gleaned from personal experience or examples from the healthcare field. The student must accurately and fully discuss the topic for the week in addition to providing personal or professional examples. The student must completely answer the entire initial question.
2. Engagement in Meaningful Dialogue: The student responds to a student peer and course faculty to further dialogue.
   1. Peer Response: The student responds substantively to at least one topic-related post by a student peer. A substantive post adds content or insights or asks a question that will add to the learning experience and/or generate discussion.
      • A post of “I agree” with a repeat of the other student’s post does not count as a substantive post. A collection of shallow posts does not equal a substantive post.
      • The peer response must occur on a separate day from the initial posting.
      • The peer response must occur before Sunday, 11:59 p.m. MT.
      • The peer response does not require a scholarly citation and reference unless the information is paraphrased and/or direct quotes are used, in which APA style standards then apply.
   2. Faculty Response: The student responds substantively to at least one question by course faculty. The faculty question may be directed to the student, to another student, or to the entire class.
      • A post of “I agree” with a repeat of the faculty’s post does not count as a substantive post. A collection of shallow posts does not equal a substantive post.
      • The faculty response must occur on a separate day from the initial posting.
      • Responses to the faculty member must occur by Sunday, 11:59 p.m. MT.
      • This response does not require a scholarly citation and reference unless the information is paraphrased and/or direct quotes are used, in which APA style standards then apply.
3. Integration of Evidence: The student post provides support from a minimum of one scholarly in-text citation with a matching reference AND assigned readings OR online lessons, per discussion topic per week. Two resources total and to count must be an in-text citation.
   1. What is a scholarly resource? A scholarly resource is one that comes from a professional, peer-reviewed publication (e.g., journals and government reports such as those from the FDA or CDC).
      • Contains references for sources cited
      • Written by a professional or scholar in the field and indicates credentials of the author(s)
      • Is no more than 5 years old for clinical or research article
   2. What is not considered a scholarly resource?
      • Newspaper articles and layperson literature (e.g., Readers Digest, Healthy Life Magazine, Food, and Fitness)
      • Information from Wikipedia or any wiki
      • Textbooks
      • Website homepages
      • The weekly lesson
      • Articles in healthcare and nursing-oriented trade magazines, such as Nursing Made Incredibly Easy and RNMagazine (Source: What is a scholarly article.docx; Created 06/09 CK/CL Revised: 02/17/11, 09/02/11 nlh/clm)
   3. Can the lesson for the week be used as a scholarly source?
      • Information from the weekly lesson can be cited in a posting; however, it is not to be the sole source used in the post.
   4. Are resources provided from CU acceptable sources (e.g., the readings for the week)?
      • Not as a sole source within the post. The textbook and/or assigned (required) articles for the week can be used, but another outside source must be cited for full credit. Textbooks are not considered scholarly sources for the purpose of discussions.
   5. Are websites acceptable as scholarly resources for discussions?
      • Yes, if they are documents or data cited from credible websites. Credible websites usually end in .gov or .edu; however, some .org sites that belong to professional associations (e.g., American Heart Association, National League for Nursing, American Diabetes Association) are also considered credible websites. Websites ending with .com are not to be used as scholarly resources
4. Professionalism in Communication: The post presents information in logical, meaningful, and understandable sequence, and is clearly relevant to the discussion topic. Grammar, spelling, and/or punctuation are accurate.
5. Wednesday Participation Requirement: The student provides a substantive response to the graded discussion question(s) or topic(s), posted by the course faculty (not a response to a peer), by Wednesday, 11:59 p.m. MT of each week.
6. Total Participation Requirement: The student provides at least three substantive posts (one to the initial question or topic, one to a student peer, and one to a faculty question) on two different days during the week.

 Health Promotion: Prevention of Disease  Case Study Module 10

Instructions: Read the following case study and answer the reflective questions. Please provide  rationales for your answers. Make sure to provide citations/references for your answers in APA  format.

CASE STUDY: Preschool Child: Ricky Ricky, age 4 years, arrives in the clinic with his mother. Ricky lives with his mother and father, who  both work full-time, and his infant sister. Their extended family lives in a different state more than  100 miles away. Both parents are of average height and in good health. Ricky’s mother mentions  that Ricky often expresses frustration, particularly in regard to food. Conflict over food occurs every  day. Mealtime is a battle to get him to eat, unless his mother feeds him. Ricky’s baby sister seems to  tolerate all baby foods but requires her mother to spoon-feed. Ricky’s mother is quite frustrated and  concerned that he will become malnourished.

Reflective Questions

1. What additional assessment information would you collect?

2. What questions would you ask, and how would you further explore this issue with the  mother?

3. In what ways does the distance of the extended family influence this family’s approach to  health promotion?

4. What factors would you consider to determine whether malnourishment is a factor in this family

Assessment 3 Instructions: Applying Analytic Techniques to Business

• PRINT
• In the last assessment, you were asked to prepare the first part of your analytics report by creating graphs and calculating some descriptive statistics. In this assessment, you will write your  page analytics report by interpreting those graphs and statistics, and explicitly connecting those interpretations to implications in the practical business context.
  The first step in creating meaningful information from raw data is to represent the data effectively in graphical format and to calculate any required statistics. The second step is interpreting and explaining those graphs and statistics in order to apply them in the business context.
  In the previous assessment, you were asked to create the first part of your analytics report by preparing graphs and calculating some descriptive statistics. In this assessment, you will complete your analytics report by interpreting those graphs and statistics, and connecting those interpretations explicitly to implications in the business context.
  In business and applied analytics, oftentimes you are interested in drawing conclusions about a population of interest. However, it may not be feasible or practical to gather data on the entire population. In those cases, data is gathered from a sample or subset of the population. Analyses done on the sample are then used to draw inferences regarding the overall population; this mathematic process is referred to as inferential statistics. In this assessment, we begin discussing the topics of sampling and drawing inferences.
  All the inferential statistical techniques and methods covered in this course are considered parametric techniques and require certain assumptions to be used and for the results to be reliable, many of which are assumptions about an underlying distribution. Nonparametric techniques require no assumption about underlying distributions and are often used when the assumptions of parametric techniques are not met. Although these are beyond the scope of this introductory course, they are a great option for additional reading and research.
  Analytics projects often result in two distinct types of reports or summaries: one tailored to the executive level, which takes the form of a presentation, and the other, a detailed analytics report, which documents an analysis so thoroughly that another analyst can reproduce the analysis exactly. Many times, the latter type is referred to by other departments or analysts wishing to conduct a similar analysis on similar data or by the same analyst who wants to repeat the analysis on a new or revised set of data. In this assessment, you will learn the essential elements that should be included in a report at this level of detail and you will create your own analytics report addressing the business problem you have been working on.
  Scenario
  Your supervisor has asked you to prepare a report for the quarterly company meeting. The first part of the task was to download the data and create scatterplots and histograms, and to calculate mean, median, and mode of the stock prices that you presented graphically in your report for the last assessment. This time your task is to analyze and interpret those graphical representations of the company stocks and to write a report about your findings for your supervisor.
  Your Role
  You are an analyst in the same business that you used for the last assessment. Your role is to turn data into meaningful information through the use of descriptive statistics and analysis.
  Instructions
  After reviewing and integrating your instructor’s feedback on your previous assessment, complete the report as follows:
  • For each graph you created, write at least one paragraph interpreting the graph.
    • What does that graph represent?
    • What does the shape of the graph tell you about how the data have changed over time?
  • For each statistic you calculated, spend at least one sentence explaining what the statistic represents.
    • What does the mean tell you?
    • What does it imply if the median is different from the mean?
    • What does the standard deviation tell you about the volatility of the data?
  • Write a new conclusions section in which you explain how these interpretations can be used in the company:
    • What are some trends about which company leaders should be aware?
    • How might the information you have provided be used to inform business decisions?
    • How will you connect those interpretations explicitly to implications for the practical business context?
  • Create a 6–8 page report containing:
    • An APA-formatted title page.
    • A one-page introduction of your chosen company that you created in your previous assessment.
    • A section labeled “Graphical Representations of Data” that includes the four graphs you created as well as your interpretations of each graph.
    • A section labeled “Descriptive Statistics” with the statistics you calculated as well as your interpretations of the statistics.
    • A one-page conclusion in which you describe the potential business applications of the data and your interpretations.
    • An APA-formatted references page. Remember to cite the source of your financial data.
  • Example Assessment: You may use the following to give you an idea of what a Proficient or higher rating on the scoring guide would look like:
  • Assessment 3 Example [PDF].
  • Additional Requirements
  • Include APA-formatted in-text citations where appropriate.
  • Follow the typical double-spaced analytics report format.
  • Make sure your written communication is free of errors that detract from the overall message.
  • Evaluation
    By successfully completing this assignment, you will demonstrate your proficiency in the following course competencies through corresponding scoring guide criteria:
  • Competency 3: Apply data analytic techniques to make inferences about a business need.
    • Interpret four different graphical representations of data.
    • Interpret descriptive statistics for two different variables.
  • Competency 4: Present the results of data analysis in clear and meaningful ways to multiple stakeholders.
    • Explain the business applications from the interpretations of the data.
    • Correctly format citations and references using current APA style.
    • Write content clearly and logically, with correct use of grammar, punctuation, and mechanics.
  • Note: Faculty may use the Writing Feedback Tool when grading this assessment. The Writing Feedback Tool is designed to provide you with guidance and resources to develop your writing based on five core skills. You will find writing feedback in the Scoring Guide for the assessment, once your work has been evaluated.

*******In the last assessment, you were asked to prepare the first part of your analytics report by creating graphs and calculating some descriptive statistics. In this assessment, you will write your 5 page analytics report by interpreting those graphs and statistics, and explicitly connecting those interpretations to implications in the practical business context. *********

FACTS:

· Gemma and James have pooled their savings to create a start-up company to develop and market an idea they conceived while students together at MIT. They obtained permission to use a college lab during late night hours a few nights a week during their last term before graduating to work on the project. Then they were able to move to James’ parents’ garage, which they keep locked.

· Now they need more sophisticated resources. They have created a prototype robotic device, called “Phoebe,” that will aid first responders in disaster relief by sensing and locating survivors remotely in areas unsafe for humans and dogs to navigate. Phoebe’s ensors will locate living beings, scan vitals and assess level of trauma.

· Gemma and James have mapped out both private and public,  civil, and military, applications of their invention, plus continued R & D improvement into next-phase capabilities.

· They have not shared their theory, the prototype, their documentation or any of the associated hard and soft technologies with anyone, but anticipate needing to do so to obtain a funding source.

· They are concerned about others learning of their technology ahead of their chance to obtain IP protection and customers, because they caught a nosy ex-classmate of theirs, Clarence, hanging around their lab.

EXPLAIN AND DISCUSS IN A WELL ORGANIZED APA PAPER:

1. The type of business organization Gemma and James should use to organize their business entity and why. (HINT: Consider partnership, corporation, and limited liability company options.)

2. The four types of intellectual property (IP) and which of these have application to Gemma and James’ invention, Phoebe.  Include case law that illustrates these at least two types of IP as applicable to Gemma and James situation and potential issues.

3. The steps Gemma and James should take to protect their invention.

4. It is possible Gemma and James will find themselves in one or more disputes over their invention or related matters.  Explain alternative dispute r resolution (ADR) and how this can work to their advantage.

Concepts that should be included in your essay:

· Types of business organizations; considerations for organizing and operating a business;

· Legal environment of business; considerations for management and training to meet business needs;

· Types of IP and their application to Phoebe (include case law);

· IP protection (part of case law requirement could be used here);

· Relevant methodologies and practices as illustrated by major contributors or organizations (e.g. US PTO, WIPO);

· IP litigation claims and defenses and types of alternative dispute resolution (ADR), including case law that illustrates types of ADR in practice (especially IP);

· Considerations of business management for handling IP innovation, selection of IP protections;

· Business compliance issues that Gemma and James should consider.
