  • Data Cleansing Assignment

    Each assignment must be of original discussion and analysis, not counting the title page, reference page, figures, tables, and appendixes. Each application assignment must be supported by at least 3 scholarly references, in APA format.

    Note: Your assignment will be checked for originality via the Turnitin plagiarism tool. The tool is a starting point for instructors to check overall Academic Integrity and higher scores generally indicate a higher probability of Academic Misconduct. The higher the score the higher the probability that there are too high a percentage of quotations included in the narrative, and/or there are passages that have not been properly cited.

    Question:

    The file contains data imported into Excel from Microsofts Northwind database. There are worksheets for the companys customers, products, product categories, and transactions. Each transaction is for a product purchased by a customer, but if a customer purchases multiple products at the same time, there are several corresponding rows in the Transactions table, one for each product purchased. The ID columns allow you to look up names of customers, products, and product categories. However, some of the IDs in the Transactions sheet have purposely been corrupted. There can be three reasons. First, an ID in the Transactions sheet might not correspond to any customer, product, or product category. Second, because each order is by a single customer, a given OrderID should correspond to only one CustomerID. Third, a given product ID should always correspond to the same product category ID. Besides the corrupted IDs, there is one other potential type of error, concerning dates. Shipping dates can be blank (for orders that havent yet shipped), but they shouldnt be before the corresponding order dates. Find all corrupted IDs and shipping dates in the Transactions sheet. Highlight all bad data in yellow. You dont need to change them (because in most cases there is no way of knowing the correct values).

  • Quality Improvement in Clinical Indicators

    Assignment Purpose: Hospital systems continually engage in a process of quality improvement through critical evaluation of selected indicators. This assignment will provide you experience with the quality improvement (QI) process and strengthen your ability to develop a comprehensive plan to decrease the incidence of a clinical indicators and improve quality. Instructions: Read and understand the scenario below. Select one of the following clinical indicators to focus on for your paper: Falls Central Line Associated Blood Stream Infections (CLABSI) Restraints Catheter Associated Urinary Tract Infection (CAUTI) Review all information on the PDCA page. Use the PDCA model to course correct the issue. Include the PDCA plans as a 1 page appendix. Address the following questions in your paper supported by evidence from the literature. What is the problem and why does it matter? What is your plan? What are the proposed interventions? Who are stakeholders involved in the proposed interventions? Why are they selected and why are they important? What data metric(s) will you use for evaluation? What is your data collection method? Why did you choose this data collection versus other data collection method? Do you anticipate any unintended consequences (can be both positive and negative)? How might an improvement in a clinical indicator affect another? Based on your data analysis, how can this intervention be implemented elsewhere? Paper should be 2-4 pages (not including title page, references or appendix) and follows APA guidelines. Minimum 5 high-quality references related to the selected indicator. The references should not be not more than 5 years old. References could either Meta-Analyses, Systematic Reviews, Randomized Control Trials, Cohort/Case-control/Cross sectional studies, Evidence-Based Practice or Quality Improvement papers. Use the CSUMB libraryLinks to an external site. to search for references to support your paper. Rachel Safa (rsafa@csumb.edu) is available for consultations. Library resources were posted to the announcements. Case Scenario The CNO of a Level II Trauma Center received the annual hospitals performance report. Looking at the report, the leader knows that urgent attention in some areas is required. To navigate the quality challenges, the CNO sent the following email to all nursing leaders. Welcome to Mercy General, a prestigious 250-bed, Magnet-designated Level II trauma center! While renowned for its excellent care, some areas require improvement. You, as the Quality Improvement (QI) Nurse Leader, will tackle one of these challenges.

Develop a comprehensive QI plan to: Reduce the NDNQI indicator: Implement evidence-based practices and interventions to directly address the chosen clinical issue. Improve the non-clinical indicator: Analyze contributing factors and implement strategies to enhance staff well-being or patient experience, depending on your choice. 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.

  • Case Study

    Case Study Assignment

    Step 1: Using the following scenario, complete the case study.

    During Winter Break, Alexa, Briana, and Lesley went to a small Mexican town near the Gulf of Mexico. On Friday night, the girls went to a restaurant. Alexa and Briana shared a pizza with ground beef, refried beans, cheese, and some vegetable toppings. Lesley ate a large portion of chicken fajitas. After dinner, Lesley brought her leftover chicken fajitas back to the hotel and stored them in the rooms refrigerator. Saturday morning, the girls ate bagels and fresh fruit. For lunch, the girls stopped at a deli. Alexa had a spinach salad with fresh strawberries, blueberries, and poppy seed dressing. Briana had a shrimp salad sandwich on a toasted multigrain roll. Lesley had a bowl of seafood gumbo soup. The young women were having so much fun that evening, they didnt have time for a sit-down dinner, so they each ate a hot dog from a street vendor. When they returned to the hotel later that evening, they were a little bit hungry, so they shared Lesleys chicken fajita leftovers after reheating them in a microwave. Between 3:00 and 5:00 a.m. on Sunday morning, Alexa and Briana each woke up feeling nauseous and bloated. They spent most of Sunday sick with vomiting and diarrhea. Alexa also had a very bad headache and chills. Lesley felt fine, but she was stuck in the hotel room taking care of her sick friends all day.

    Step 2: In a 1-2 page paper, discuss the following:

    • Determine what food(s) you think could have potentially been the source of Alexa and Brianas food-borne illness. Explain your reasoning.
    • Identify potential sources of food-borne illness for each of the meals the girls ate over the weekend.
    • Based on their symptoms, a suspected food source(s), and the time of onset, analyze which microorganism(s) were most likely to have been responsible for their illness. Use references to support your claims.
    • Discuss any precautions that Briana and Alexa could have done differently to prevent developing a food-borne illness. Explain your answer.

    Advocate for Social Change

    For this assignment, you will conduct internet research about a significant person who was, or is, an advocate for social change. Choose a person who has had an impact on promoting positive social change whether through philanthropy, civil rights, teaching, or lifestyle.
