  • case study

    READ CAREFULLY:

    This case study comes from the Apply It: Critical Thinking Exercise section of the chapter. Read the case study, then choose ONE of the discussion questions. Create a post of at least 100 words, that includes the following information…

    briefly describe the health issue presented, and answer one case study question

    include a link to a resource that supports the information you discussed

    provide TWO (2) word-part breakdowns of associated medical terms relating to the health issue (explaining the word root, the combining form, the suffix, and the prefix)

    Then post one response to a classmate of at least 30 words, expanding on the content of their post, and provide one additional word part breakdown in your response (different from those in your initial post and different from any term detailed in the classmates post).

    Case Study:

    Randi Marchant, a 42-year-old waitress, was vacuuming the family room when she felt that painful squeezing in her chest again. This was the third time today, but this one really hurt. She sat down to catch her breath and stubbed out the cigarette she had left smoldering in the half-filled ashtray by the couch. Randis husband, Jimmy, and stepdaughter Melonie had pestered her until she finally had taken time off work to see her doctor. Dr. Harris found that her blood pressure was 158/88probably owing to the noon rush stress at work, she rationalized. At least her cholesterol test was only 30 points above average this time. It had been slowly coming down, even though she was having a hard time following the DASH diet her doctor wanted her to follow.

    Another wave of pain tightened its icy fingers around her heart, and moved up into both sides of her jaw. Randi thought, Probably just a little acid reflux. Since the pain doesnt radiate down my left arm, it couldnt be my heart, could it?

    Dont think about the pain, she told herself. Think of something else. For dinner tonight Ill make — Randi fell to the floor, clutching her chest, just as Melonie walked in. She saw her stepmother slumped on the floor and screamed, Help, somebody, help!

    Discussion Questions:

    1. What information in the story indicates that Randi might be a candidate for heart disease?
    2. Discuss why Randi thought this was not a heart attack.
    3. What can Melonie do immediately to try to save Randis life?
    4. Assuming that Randi is suffering a myocardial infarction, discuss why it is important that she receive appropriate treatment quickly.

    Research Design Project: Sampling, Measurement, and Data Collection Type Matrix Assignment Instructions

    Overview

    The main assignments for this course are wrapped into the Research Design Project. This project has three pre-matrix tables that will inform three matrices. Each table and matrix address basic and applied research that is quantitative, qualitative, mixed methods, action research and/or program evaluation. For each table, you will be finding education research articles on the same topic using the specified research design(s). For the matrices, you will be identifying methods information and critiquing the studies. This assignment helps you learn how to evaluate research, identify the main components of good research, and start building your literature review. You will use the approved articles from Modules 2-4 to complete the assignments in Modules 5-7.

    Instructions

    For this RDP: Sampling, Measurement, and Data Collection Type Matrix assignment, you will use the following articles that you identified and had approved in the three pre-matrix tables.

    1.From the RDP: Quantitative Pre-Matrix Table

    a.Select 1 QUANtitative Basic (QUAN-B)

    b.Select 1 QUANtitave Applied (QUAN-A)

    2.From the RDP: Qualitative and Mixed Methods Pre-Matrix Table

    a.QUALitative Basic (QUAL-B)

    b.Mixed Methods Basic (MM-B)

    3.From the RDP: Action Research and Program Evaluation Pre-Matrix Table

    a.Action Research (AR-QUAL)

    b.Program Evaluation (PE-QUAN)

    For each research article, you will provide the following information using the RDP: Sampling, Measurement, and Data Collection Type Matrix Template:

    NOTE: You may NOT use AI for this assignment. You may not use the abstract to provide this information. You must provide page/paragraph numbers to support parts 3-8. Write in complete sentences giving explicit details that are paraphrased.

    1.Article Type

    2.Article Reference

    3.Sampling Procedure (what type of sampling was used)

    4.Participants (who, how many, from where)

    5.Intervention (details if one was carried out; not all of them will have information for this section)

    6.Measurements/Instruments (What was collected? assessments, surveys, questionnaires, observation protocol, structured/semi-structured interview protocol, document analysis

    7.How Data Collected (how was the data collected, when, by whom, etc.)

    8.How Data Analyzed (please provide detailed information as to the exact analysis)

    a.Quantitative (statistical analysis(es) such as t-test, ANOVA, ANCOVA, chi-square, Pearson Product-Moment correlation, Spearman rho, etc.). See the Read: Quantitative Research: Common Types of Analyses and Research Designs in the Learn section of the Research Design: Experimental and Non-Experimental Module.)

    b.Qualitative [e.g., inductive/deductive approach, point of focus, summaries, memoing, indexing, coding, grouping, themes, type of analysis (content, narrative, discourse, framework, grounded theory)]. See the Read: Qualitative Research: Common Types of Data Collection, Analyses, and Research Design in the Learn section of the Research Design: Qualitative and Mixed Methods Module.

    c.Mixed Methods (explain how the quantitative and qualitative data were analyzedsee a and b above)

    11.Biblical Integration

    12.References (for biblical support)

    Current APA formatting is expected throughout your paper. The Sample Research Design Project: Sampling, Measurement, and Data Collection Type Matrix has been provided for your reference. Any sections requiring textbook support must use the textbook from this course.

    Note: Your assignment will be checked for originality via the Turnitin plagiarism tool.

    • Critical Care Units: (84 daily census in all 3 units)
    • Number of physical restraints per 1,000 patient days: 6.5
    • Within the organization: 15%
    • Voluntary separation: 12.8%
    • Involuntary separation: 7.2%
    • NDNQI Indicator: CLABSI rate: 2.0%
    • Number of physical restraints utilized per month: 30
    • Non-clinical indicator: Staff turnover rates: 35%
    • RN education and certification rates: 90% with bachelor’s degrees, 80% certified in critical care

    The Challenge: Choose one of these units and its clinical and non-clinical indicators as your focus. Develop a comprehensive QI plan to:

    1. Reduce the NDNQI indicator: Implement evidence-based practices and interventions to directly address the chosen clinical issue.
    2. Improve the non-clinical indicator: Analyze contributing factors and implement strategies to enhance staff well-being or patient experience, depending on your choice.
    3. Consider the interconnections: Explore how improvements in one indicator might positively impact others.

    Remember, creativity and a data-driven approach are key to creating a successful PDCA plan. Good luck navigating Mercy General’s challenges!

    Please note: This scenario provides a comprehensive framework. Choose the unit and indicators that spark your interest and personalize your plan based on further research and analysis.
