Investigation of Evidence for Nursing

in this assignment, you will identify a nursing problem, investigate available evidence, and either present a plan for practice change or a proposal for further research. You will use the Stetler Model as a guide. This paper has two parts, outlined below. The Stetler Model is explained on pp. 279- 283 of your textbook. You may use material from your discussion posts in this paper, however, you will need to revise them as necessary to meet the objectives of this assignment.

This activity will address the following module outcomes:

MO2: Analyze models to implement and sustain EBP. (SLPO7; CO4)
MO5: Explain the role of the master’s-prepared nurse in translating evidence for practice changes in an inter-professional team. (SLPO2; CO1)

Part I: Analysis of Evidence: Due Week 10

In Part I of the assignment, you will use Phase I, II, and III of the Stetler Model. These steps are described in further detail below. Please use the grading rubric to guide your work.
Phase I: Preparation

Define the nursing problem and present your research question. Make sure you describe the context of the problem, and why you think practice should change. Clearly identify the target population and potential benefits the population may reap from the proposed practice change.

In documnet “post” that contains the research information (Influenza vaccines relating to pneumonia rates) . The research critique forms need to be based off that , research needs to be within the last 5 years , 5 of the articles need to be nursing based the last two can be from other disciplines. Each piece of research needs to be completed in a separate research critique form (so there with be 7 individual forms completed) these are separate from the rest of the work that needs to be done.

Slavery

The core assignment of this course is a documented research paper (1500-2000 words in length = approx. 6-8 pages double-spaced, 12-point font).

The paper should support a thesis statement with information gained from research or investigation.
The paper will not be just a report presenting information but will be a paper that carefully examines and presents your own historical interpretation of the topic you have chosen and your interpretation of the information you have gathered.
The paper may include consideration of problems and solutions, define key terms, or refute arguments against your thesis statement.
Approach this assignment with an open and skeptical mind, then form an opinion based on what you have discovered.
You must suspend belief while you are investigating and let the discoveries shape your opinion. (This is a thesis-finding approach.)
Once you have found your thesis, write the paper to support it.
You will use some of the following critical thinking skills in this process:

Choosing an appropriate topic, limiting the topic
Gathering information, summarizing sources
Analyzing and evaluating sources
Defining key terms
Synthesizing information, comparing and contrasting sources
Testing a thesis, making a historical argument, using refutation
Amassing support for a position
Documenting sources

Choose a topic related to U.S. History up to 1877 (Chapters 1-15) that you would truly like to explore and that you are willing to spend some time on. Your chosen topic should be focused. Pose a question that you really want to answer. You may want to begin with more than one topic in mind.
Do some preliminary reading on the topic(s). You may begin with the textbook, then further explore the information available. Refine your topic. Summarize your topic, your interest in the topic, the questions you want to answer, and a hypothesis you want to test.
Gather information from a variety of sources. Use a minimum of four sources for your paper, and at least one must be a primary source.

They are sources that are contemporary to the times under investigation.
An example of a secondary source is our textbook, though the textbook also contains excerpts of primary sources, which you may use as a source in your paper.
Outline the results of your research and the plan for your paper (you are not required to submit the outline).
Write the final draft and be sure to include a Works Cited List, and use the correct MLA documentation style.
INTRODUCTION & THESIS: Includes a clear thesis statement, an assertion or position. Topic is original and manageable in a short research paper. /15

FOCUS AND DEVELOPMENT: Body of the essay focuses on this thesis and develops it fully, recognizing the complexity of issues and refuting arguments in opposition to the thesis. /20

SUPPORT AND SYNTHESIS: Uses sufficient and relevant evidence to support the thesis (and primary points), including facts, inferences, and judgments. Quotes, summarizes, and paraphrases accurately and effectively–appropriately introducing and explaining each quote. /25

Economic Efficiency

In economics, efficiency means it is impossible to improve the situation of one party without imposing a cost on another. Conversely, if a situation is inefficient, it becomes possible to benefit at least one party without imposing costs on others.

Scope and Methodology

The concept and meaning of efficiency can become even more specific than that, though. In the demand and supply model, efficiency means that the economy is getting as much benefit as possible from its scarce resources and all possible gains from trade have been achieved. In other words, the optimal amount of each good and service is being produced and consumed.

Write an essay no less than two pages in which you explain the importance of economic efficiency. Study and analyze the concept where you include answers to these questions:

What term would an economist use to describe what happens when a shopper gets a “good deal” on a product?
Explain why voluntary transactions improve social surplus.
Why would a free market never operate at a quantity greater than the equilibrium quantity? Hint: What would be required for a transaction to occur at that quantity?
What is consumer surplus? How is it illustrated on a demand and supply diagram?
What is producer surplus? How is it illustrated on a demand and supply diagram?
What is total surplus? How is it illustrated on a demand and supply diagram?
What is the relationship between total surplus and economic efficiency?
What is deadweight loss?
Objectives and Expectation:

You will introduce the concept of economic efficiency and address each of the above questions.
The assignment is to be a minimum of two pages long (title pages, bibliographies, etc.) and in APA/MLA format.
A good variety of objective, high quality, current sources need to be used.
Use graphs, tables, and charts to support your assertion.
Outstanding papers typically cite three or more references to support the discussion and to benchmark findings presented in the paper

Higher End

The review should be typewritten (double-spaced), at least three (3) full pages in length and consist of three parts: (a) summary of the article and its research findings and/or recommendations (not to exceed one page), (b) a critique of the article/research study; and (c) a discussion of the relevance of the article to current practice. Appropriate APA, 6th edition, citation should be used throughout the paper.
When reviewing an article, write out the reference citation, using APA format, at the beginning of the paper. Then include your responses to the following questions:

1. What is the research question (s) posed by the author?

2. What do you know about the author? Are there other researchers who have addressed this same topic? (Look at the reference list.)

3. What are the major current issues related to this research topic?

4. What are the characteristics of the study participants?

5. Describe the methodology and major findings.

6. What are the implications of this study for the future of higher education?

7. What are the possibilities for future study? Include at least one idea of your own outside of those presented in the article.

8. Was there anything in the article that surprised you? Was there anything that seemed particularly upsetting, or encouraging, or in line with your own research?

9. Was there anything that seemed to be a departure from previous research?

10. Were there findings that are particularly susceptible to bias?

11. Is the methodology sound?

12. Do the participants seem fairly representative?

13. Would you do the study in the same way?

14. How would you approach the issue?

Pedagogical Practices for Instilling Creativity in the Visual Arts Classroom (Grades 1 – 8)

Article: K.A. Sawyer. (2017). Teaching creativity in art and design studio classes: A systematic literature review. University of North Carolina: Chapel Hill, NC. DOI: 10.1016.
This article combines research from 65 peer-reviewed articles looking at art and design pedagogy and producing creative students from elementary to post-secondary. It identifies three clusters of grounded pedagogy: pedagogical practices, learning outcomes and assessment. Sawyer focuses on not just how to produce and teach students creativity, but the importance of art and design outside of the classroom setting (preparing for personal life; creativity in all work places). He poses to answer the question “What pedagogical practices lead to creative learning outcomes….[and] what pedagogical practices are found in art and design studio classrooms?”.
A benefit of looking at this article is his focus on the different pedagogical ways we as teachers can improve the creativity in our classrooms. From looking at how the pedagogy is flexible, open-ended and improvisational; students are active and independent; and the tension between open-ended assignments and the need for structure. All of these aspects are important when considering our pedagogies as art teachers. When looking at the creative constraints of students, we can consider how we as teachers can bridge these constraints and turn them into strengths. Adding solutions to our assignment, as noted in Sawyer’s work, will add an extra layer of depth to ensuring not just an identified issue, but how we as teachers can grow. (The essay should somewhat reflect my critique of this article )

The Meursault Investigation by Kamel Daoud, and The stranger by Camus’s

Kamel Daoud’s The Meursault Investigation is far more than a
rereading or spin-off of Camus’s The Stranger. Daoud renders the invisible, nameless trauma of
Musa’s murder in Camus’s famous novel as the structuring absence of a new story. This new
story speaks to us much more universally about the importance of making the anonymous
suffering of those without a history or narrative (e.g., Musa’s death) our own, and gives us a
powerful new vision of the absurd that is philosophically grounded in seeing ourselves in the
passivity, isolation, and nonexistence of the Other. The absurd thus becomes for Daoud not just a
metaphysical paradox, but a productive means of reckoning with the unknowability of ourselves
through each other, of confronting the story of our shared historical past, the present, and the
possibilities for the future. In this way, then, Daoud’s “counter-investigation” reinhabits the
world of The Stranger to search for Musa’s unburied corpse well beyond the literary scene of the
crime—killed “the way one kills time” by Camus’s pen—in the hearts and minds of readers
themselves, where the language of conscience did not speak up (“the place where something
pure and ancient was lost”) and was instead swallowed up by awed silence. These readers were
(and still are!) perfectly willing to gloss over the death of “the Arab” as a mere incident needed
to illustrate a grand philosophical allegory. Focus on three or four passages from The Meursault
Investigation to analyze how Daoud’s novel turns the absurd into an ethical imperative to act—to
find and face ourselves in the nothingness (the unlived and the unspoken, what fate has cruelly
denied) of other human beings.

Develop a well-researched argument about the apocalyptic imagination. Try to write about the ingenuity of man in times of an apocalypse or another end time scenario. Draw examples and information from fiction and real life scenarios, such as the way militants keep weapons and machines working decades after their life expectancy.

Develop a well-researched argument about the apocalyptic imagination. Try to write about the ingenuity of man in times of an apocalypse or another end time scenario. Draw examples and information from fiction and real life scenarios, such as the way militants keep weapons and machines working decades after their life expectancy. Remember to develop an argument and not just repeat ideas of others. Include an annotated bibliography and works cited. (If this topic doesn’t work well for you, you can also write about representations of post apocalyptic thought throughout history, past depictions vs contemporary depictions and how they differ or influence etc, or whatever else comes to mind.)
