  • Discussion 2

    In chapter 3, the author argues that gender differences are produced and reproduced at all levels: biosocial, childhood socialization, interactionist, and social structural.

    After reviewing all four approaches, make a case for which force has the greatest effect in explaining gender differences. Next provide at least two examples (feel free to include as many examples as youd like), of a gender-based behavior, or gender difference which is guided by your chosen approach.

    The sky is the limit as to the type of gender difference you can discuss and where one can observe such behavior. Remember that gender permeates just about ALL behavior home, school, work, society, relationships, etc.

    Requirements:

  • Dystopian text scene

    Use the Google Doc attached and write an opening scene to a dystopian text. You can use the sentence starters on the board to help you begin.
  • Improving medication safety and reducing adverse drug events

    Write a 4 page evidence-based proposal to support the need for a nurse informaticist in an organization who would focus on improving health care outcomes. Preparation: First review the focus of the new nurse informaticist position you will propose by examining the description below. You will write your evidence-based proposal to support the need for a new nurse informaticist who would focus on improving medication safety and reducing adverse drug events. Improving Medication Safety and Reducing Adverse Drug Events: o Background: Adverse drug events (ADEs) are injuries resulting from medical interventions related to a drug. o Evidence: ADEs are a significant cause of hospitalizations and deaths. Many of these are preventable with proper medication reconciliation, patient education, and technology that helps with tracking and alerting healthcare providers about potential drug interactions. Scenario: For this assessment, assume you are a nurse attending a meeting of your states nurses association. A nurse informaticist conducted a presentation on their role and its impact on positive patient and organizational outcomes in their workplace. You realize that your organization is undergoing many technological changes. You believe this type of role could provide many benefits to your organization. The focus of the new nurse informaticist position you will propose would be on improving medication safety and reducing adverse drug events. You decide to pursue proposing a nurse informaticist role in your organization. You speak to your chief nursing officer (CNO) and human resources (HR) manager, who ask you to prepare a 4 page evidence-based proposal to support the new role. In this way, they can make an informed decision as to whether the addition of such a role could justify the return on investment (ROI). They need your proposal before an upcoming fiscal meeting. This is not an essay, but instead, it is a proposal to create a new Nurse Informaticist position. One important part of this assessment is the justification of the need for a nurse informaticist in a health care organization and references from relevant and timely scholarly or professional resources to support the justification for creating this nurse informaticist position. The term justify means to show or prove that the nurse informaticist position brings value to the organization. This justification must include evidence from the literature to support that this position will provide a return on investment for the organization. Proposal Format: The chief nursing officer (CNO) and human resources (HR) manager have asked you to include the headings below in your proposal and to be sure to address the bullets following each heading. Remember that you will emphasize the focus of the new nurse informaticist position as described in improving medication safety and reducing adverse drug events. Nursing Informatics and the Nurse Informaticist What is nursing informatics? What is the role of the nurse informaticist? Highlight one influential nurse informaticist and their contributions to nursing. Nurse Informaticists and Other Health Care Organizations What is the experience of other health care organizations with nurse informaticists? How do these nurse informaticists collaborate with the rest of the nursing staff and the interdisciplinary team? Impact of Full Nurse Engagement in Health Care Technology How does fully engaging nurses in health care technology impact: o Patient care? o Protected health information (security, privacy, and confidentiality)? In this section, you will explain evidence-based strategies that the nurse informaticist and interdisciplinary team can use to effectively manage patients’ protected health information, particularly privacy, security, and confidentiality. Evidence-based means that they are supported by evidence from scholarly sources. o Workflow? o Costs and return on investment? Opportunities and Challenges What are the opportunities and challenges for nurses and the interdisciplinary team with the addition of a nurse informaticist role? o How can the interdisciplinary team collaborate to improve quality care outcomes through technology? Summary of Recommendations What are 34 key takeaways from your proposal about the recommended nurse informaticist role that you want the CNO and the HR manager to remember? o This is the section where the justification for the implementation of the nursing informaticist role is addressed. Remember to include evidence from the literature to support your recommendation. Additional Requirements: Written communication: Ensure written communication is free of errors that detract from the overall message. Submission length: 4 double-spaced pages, plus a title and references pages. Font: Times New Roman, 12 point. Citations and References: Cite a minimum of three current scholarly and/or authoritative sources to support your ideas. In addition, cite a minimum of one current professional blog or website to support your central ideas. Current means no more than five years old.

    Week 6 Discussion Attachment

    The regression equation is:
    Height = 6.5235(Age) + 75.9137

    Input and output variables:
    The input variable (x) is Age in years.
    The output variable (y) is Height in centimeters.
    The value 75.9137 represents the predicted height at age 0 (the y-intercept).

    Correlation coefficient:
    r = 0.9898
    This indicates a very strong positive linear relationship between age and height. As age increases, height increases nearly perfectly linearly.

    Coefficient of determination:
    R = 0.9797
    This means about 97.97% of the variation in height can be explained by age using this linear model. This shows the model fits the data extremely well.

    Appropriate interval of ages:
    This regression equation is appropriate for ages 1 to 11 years, since that is the range of the data used to build the model. Predictions outside this range may not be reliable.

  • NURS 602 Test Development Assignment

    Directions

    For this assignment, you will develop each of the following in a Word document:

    Two (2) measurable learning objectives for your test

    Ten (10) NCLEX-RN style questions with rationales (explanations)

    Test blueprint indicating question alignment with NCSBNs NCLEX-RN categories and Blooms Taxonomy levels for each question

    For this assignment, you are not writing a formal APA paper; however, a reference page is required to show sources used in question development.

    1. Develop 2 learning objectives for your test following the guidelines for objective writing posted in the course. Each objective must be measurable.

    2. Using your class resources and guidelines below develop a 10-item NCLEX-RN style test for second-year Associate or senior year Bachelor degree nursing students. Follow these guidelines:

    a. You may use any concepts/topics that would be taught to a second / senior year nursing student.

    b. Five (5) of your 10 questions are to be multiple-choice format questions

    i. With these 5 questions, each question will have a stem, 1 key, and 3 plausible distractors.

    c. Five (5) of your 10 questions are to be a combination of multiple response (select all that apply [SATA]) and alternate format questions (all must be NCLEX-RN format).

    i. Review NCSBNs test plan for approved alternate format question types, examples, and guidance on question formatting prior to writing your test questions.

    ii. Do NOT write any Next Generation NCLEX (NGN) style questions.

    d. Five (5) of your 10 questions are to be written at the remember and understand levels of Blooms Taxonomy.

    e. Five (5) of your 10 questions are to be written at the apply and analyze levels of Blooms Taxonomy to prepare students for success on the NCLEX-RN test and to develop critical thinking.

    3. Develop clear, thorough rationales (explanations) for each of your 10-item NCLEX-RN style questions. Follow these guidelines:

    a. This is where student learning occurs. The explanation is a teaching tool to clarify why the correct answer is the proper action to take or decision to make. Similarly, the explanation needs to clarify why each incorrect option should not be done or are not the proper decisions in this situation. The explanation should not explicitly state the fact that the distracters are incorrect.

    4. Using your texts, class resources, and table below develop a test blueprint for your 10-item NCLEX-RN style test.

    a. Paste the table below in your groups Word document. Place the two (2) learning objectives your group developed as the tables rows. Then, place the actual question number into the appropriate box for objective and Blooms taxonomy level alignment. Each question number should only be used once. Indicate the number of the question in the appropriate box of the table (i.e., #3, #4, or #10). You may list more than 1 question number in each box, if needed.

    b. For each question, identify the appropriate category of the NCLEX-RN Test Plan in which the question would fall (see the NCLEX-RN test plan posted in the course for NCSBNs current distribution scale).

    If a test bank or AI is used to create your test, you will receive a zero on the assignment. A quick Internet search will show test bank questions and AI usage. Using a test bank or AI does not facilitate any learning.

    Submission and Evaluation Criteria:

    Refer to the grading rubric posted in the course. All points must be adequately addressed to receive full credit. Submit the completed assignment to the corresponding assignment drop box by the due date listed on the course calendar. The NurseTim webinar should be completed and submitted to the corresponding assignment drop box by the due date listed on the course calendar.
