Epidemiologists spend much of their time analyzing data and evaluating the validity of the sources of their data. Measure of occurrence refers to the quantifying (count, ratio, proportion, rate, prevalence, and incidence) of events (Friis & Sellers, 2021). Data sources are critical elements that provide foundation and grounding for research. It is important to attain and evaluate the validity of data sources. Data sources require analysis and interpretation. In this Assignment, you are presented with a scenario in the “To prepare for this Assignment” section, where you are asked to search and interpret the meaning of the data. You will also determine the probable source and validity of the data. You will search in the Walden Library for scholarly articles and identify data using the sources of data provided to you in the Learning Resources to complete this Assignment. Reference: Friis, R.H., & Sellers, T.A. (2021) . Epidemiology for public health practice (6th ed). Jones & Bartlett Learning. To prepare for this Assignment: Refer to the health issue you selected in Week 1. Perform a search in the Walden Library, and identify at least two recent scholarly articles (no older than 3 years of publication) related to the health issue you have chosen. Perform a search of sources of data provided to you in the Learning Resources to identify data relevant to the health issue you have chosen. Review the following scenario: Imagine that you work for a state health department monitoring trends in the occurrence of various reportable infectious diseases, as well as major chronic diseases. As you compare this year's trends with last year's, you notice an increase in the occurrence of the disease that you chose. Keep in mind, that some factors may cause an increase in incidence but, not necessarily, represent a true increase nor an epidemic. With this scenario in mind, write a 2- to 3-page paper that addresses the following: Identify ebola the health issue you have selected. Identify and describe at least two factors that might lead to an increase of new cases (incidence) of your health issue but not represent an outbreak or epidemic. Explain your thinking. Example factors include screenings, testing, changes in diagnostic criteria, policies, laws, campaigns, etc. Identify and describe the descriptive epidemiologic factors (person/place/time) you would use to evaluate populations at risk (i.e., what factors are relevant for your health issue within the categories of person, place, and time). Using the scholarly resources that you identified, support and explain your thinking. Identify and explain who is more at-risk for the health issue based on the epidemiologic factors. Provide data and statistical evidence from the sources you identified to support your response. Explain your thinking. Note : Be sure to support your work with specific citations from this week's Learning Resources and additional scholarly so.

Descriptive Epidemiology
HIV/AIDS was first recognized as an epidemic in the United States in 1981. At the beginning of the AIDS epidemic, the life expectancy for infected persons was less than 7 years. Today, because of research and new treatment options, people who begin treatment soon after diagnosis can expect to live a nearly normal life span (Cairns, 2010). The HIV/AIDS epidemic was identified through descriptive epidemiology.
Descriptive epidemiologic studies are often conducted as precursors to analytic studies. Epidemiologic concepts are used to gather data to better understand and evaluate health trends in populations. Data such as characteristics of the persons affected, place where an incident occurred, and time of occurrence are collected and analyzed to look for patterns in an effort to identify emerging health problems.
In this Discussion, you will apply the epidemiologic concepts of time, place, and person to a specific population health problem.
To prepare:
Consider a variety of population health problems, and then select one on which to focus for this Discussion.
Identify a specific population affected by your selected health problem.
Research the patterns of the disease in your selected population using the epidemiologic characteristics of person, place, and time.
Explore three to five data sources presented in the Learning Resources that could aid you in describing the population and magnitude of the problem. Analyze the strengths and limitations of each data source.
Consider methods for obtaining raw data to determine the variables of person, place, and time for your health problem. Ask yourself: How would the methods I select influence the accuracy of case identification, definition, and diagnosis?
By tomorrow Wednesday 03/07/18 by 4pm, write a minimum of 550 words in APA format with a minimum of THREE scholarly references from the list of required readings below. Include the level one headers as numbered below:

Assignment 2: Defining the Problem and Research Methods
Sections 1 and 2 of Major Assessment 7: Using an Epidemiological Approach to Critically Analyze a Population Health Problem
How do culture and environment influence health? What role does personality play in health outcomes? How do stressful life events influence disease? As a health care professional, you have most likely witnessed the influence of psychosocial factors on individual health. These factors also have a significant impact on population health. Chronic conditions such as high blood pressure and heart disease, as well as degenerative diseases, can be studied at the population level through the use of epidemiologic methods (Friis, 2014). The insights gained from this type of research can then positively impact health outcomes locally, nationally, and globally.
As you continue working on Assignment 2, which is due
by Thursday 04/05/2018 Day 5 of this week
, consider how psychosocial factors influence your population and population health issue.
To complete:
In 5–6 pages, APA format with a minimum of five (5) scholarly references (see list of required readings below), write the following sections of your paper:
Section 1: The Problem
1) Introduction (ending with a purpose statement: “the purpose of this paper is…)
2) A brief outline of the environment you selected (i.e., home, workplace, school)
3) A summary of your selected population health problem in terms of person, place, and time, and the magnitude of the problem based on data from appropriate data resources (Reference the data resources you used.)
4) Research question/hypothesis (same as the one in assignment 1. I’m including an attachment of assignment 1 you did for me).
Section 2: Research Methods
1) The epidemiologic study design you would use to assess and address your population health problem
2) Assessment strategies (i.e., if you were conducting a case-control study, how would you select your cases and controls? Regarding the methods and tools, you would use to make these selections, how is it convenient for you as the researcher or as the investigator to use this tool?)
3) Summary of the data collection activities (i.e., how you would collect data—online survey, paper/pen, mailing, etc.)
4) Conclusion of the whole paper.

Appraising the Literature
For the DNP-prepared nurse, it is important to hone skills related to reviewing and evaluating research literature to implement evidence-based practices. As you examine epidemiological research, in particular, it is essential to ask, “What are the strengths and weakness of the research method(s)? Are the data analysis and interpretation sound? Is there any evidence of bias?” This Discussion provides you and your colleagues valuable practice in critically analyzing research literature.
To prepare:
With this week’s Learning Resources in mind, reflect on the importance of analyzing epidemiological research studies.
Critically appraise the Oppenheimer (2010) and Elliott, Smith, Penny, Smith and Chambers (1999) articles presented in the Learning Resources using Appendix A in Epidemiology for Public Health Practice as a guide.
Determine the strengths and weaknesses of the research methods and data analysis of each study.
Ask yourself, “Is any bias evident in either study? What did the researchers do to control for potential bias?”
Finally, consider the importance of data interpretation in epidemiologic literature and the issues that may arise if potential confounding factors are not considered.

Observational Study Designs
A clinical pediatric nurse has noticed a rise in childhood cancer diagnoses among the Hispanic population served by the local clinic. The nurse is concerned about this increase in cancer incidence in the patient population and turns to the literature to explore current research on this topic. The nurse finds through the reading that there appears to be an association between parental smoking and childhood cancer and wonders if this could be the cause of the rise in cases.
This type of suspected association between a risk factor (exposure) and a particular outcome (childhood cancer) can be evaluated using an observational study design. This week, you were introduced to observational study designs used in epidemiology. For this Discussion, you will identify an epidemiologic association of interest (e.g., smoking and lung cancer, obesity and heart disease, hormone replacement/modification therapy and breast cancer) and determine an appropriate observational study design for exploring that association.
To prepare:
Review the different types of observational study designs presented in the Learning Resources: ecologic, cross-sectional, case-control, and cohort.
Carefully examine the characteristics, strengths, and limitations of each design.
Consider an association between a risk factor and a particular health outcome that is of interest to you. Then, select the observational study design you think would be the most appropriate for exploring this association.
Consider how using observational study designs can lead to improvements in population health.

For the DNP-prepared nurse, it is important to hone skills related to reviewing and evaluating research literature to implement evidence-based practices. As you examine epidemiological research, in particular, it is essential to ask, “What are the strengths and weakness of the research method(s)? Are the data analysis and interpretation sound? Is there any evidence of bias?” This Discussion provides you and your colleagues valuable practice in critically analyzing research literature.
To prepare:
With this week’s Learning Resources in mind, reflect on the importance of analyzing epidemiological research studies.
Critically appraise the Oppenheimer (2010) and Elliott, Smith, Penny, Smith and Chambers (1999) articles presented in the Learning Resources using Appendix A in Epidemiology for Public Health Practice as a guide.
Determine the strengths and weaknesses of the research methods and data analysis of each study.
Ask yourself, “Is any bias evident in either study? What did the researchers do to control for potential bias?”
Finally, consider the importance of data interpretation in epidemiologic literature and the issues that may arise if potential confounding factors are not considered.
Post
a cohesive scholarly response that addresses the following:
Appraise the Oppenheimer (2010) and Elliott et al. (1999) articles, summarizing the strengths and weaknesses of each study.
Analyze potential sources of bias in each study, and suggest strategies for minimizing bias.
Suggest possible confounding variables that may have influenced the results of each study.

Final Exam
Spend up to the next 2 hours to complete the following task, to the best of your ability. This exam is worth 100 points. There is no specific word count requirement.
Topic: Vitamin C - https://vitamincfoundation.org/squares/
Your submission should be in the form of written paragraphs, but you will not be evaluated on the quality of writing beyond the minimum necessary to understand what you are communicating. Your submission does not need to be as structured as the analysis assignments submitted during the semester. You should answer parts 1-5 of the task individually, each in paragraph form. Number each answer to correspond to parts 1-5, and then references at the end.
1. In one paragraph, summarize the product or service and describe what it is supposed to do.
2. In one paragraph, identify and clearly state at least one scientific claim being made about the product or service.
3. Identify and clearly describe at least two sources that are purported to support the claim. Each source should be described in a single paragraph (i.e., two paragraphs total). You must provide references for these sources (as well as any other that you use to complete the other tasks) at the end of your document, in the same format that you have been using throughout the semester.
4. Briefly evaluate the quality of the sources and whether or not the sources appear to support the claim. This section may be anywhere from one to several paragraphs long, as needed.
◦ State whether or not you believe the claim is justified, correct, and/or relevant based on your overall evaluation. This evaluation must take into account the sources you identified and evaluated (in steps 3 and 4).
◦ You may utilize sources that do not support the claim in your overall evaluation (i.e., sources in addition to the two from step 3).
◦ Your evaluation should explicitly consider at least two logical fallacies. These may be fallacies that you believe are present, or ones that could have been an issue but that you determined were not.
5. Based on your review of the product or service, summarize in one paragraph when use of the product or service might be beneficial: who might benefit and under what circumstances.
You are free to draw on prior knowledge, your textbook, and electronic resources, but should indicate when you have done so by using the same referencing methods utilized during the semester.
You may not use other humans. Communication in any form (verbal, physical, or electronic) with another human being during this exam will be considered academic misconduct and result in an automatic grade of zero.

Assignment topic Rapid Influenza Testing in Children and Adult.docx
Assignment topic : Rapid Influenza Testing in Children and Adults.
When seeking to identify a patient’s health condition, advanced practice nurses can use a diverse selection of diagnostic tests and assessment tools; however, different factors affect the validity and reliability of the results produced by these tests or tools. Nurses must be aware of these factors in order to select the most appropriate test or tool and to accurately interpret the results.
Not only do these diagnostic tests affect adults, body measurements can provide a general picture of whether a child is receiving adequate nutrition or is at risk for health issues. These data, however, are just one aspect to be considered. Lifestyle, family history, and culture—among other factors—are also relevant. That said, gathering and communicating this information can be a delicate process.
For this Assignment, you will consider the
validity
and
reliability
of different assessment tools and diagnostic tests. You will explore issues such as
sensitivity,
specificity,
and
positive
and
negative predictive values
. You will also consider examples of children with various weight issues. You will explore how you could effectively gather information and encourage parents and caregivers to be proactive about their children’s health and weight.
To Prepare
· Review this week’s Learning Resources and consider factors that impact the validity and reliability of various assessment tools and diagnostic tests. You also will review examples of pediatric patients and their families as it relates to BMI.
· Search the Library and credible sources for resources explaining the tool or test you were assigned. What is its purpose, how is it conducted, and what information does it gather?
· Also, as you search the library and credible sources, consider what the literature discusses regarding the validity, reliability, sensitivity, specificity, predictive values, ethical dilemmas, and controversies related to the test or tool.
Assignment
(3–4 pages, not including title and reference pages)
:
For the Adult Assessment Tools or Diagnostic Tests:
Include the following:
· A description of how the assessment tool or diagnostic test you were assigned is used in healthcare.
o What is its purpose?
o How is it conducted?
o What information does it gather?
· Based on your research, evaluate the test or the tool’s validity and reliability, and explain any issues with sensitivity, reliability, and predictive values. Include references in appropriate APA formatting.
For the Child :
Include the following:
· An explanation of the health issues and risks that are relevant to the child you were assigned.
· Describe additional information you would need in order to further assess his or her weight-related health.
· Identify and describe any risks and consider what further information you would need to gain a full understanding of the child’s health. Think about how you could gather this infor.

Achiever
Your Achiever theme helps explain your drive. Achiever describes a constant need for
achievement. You feel as if every day starts at zero. By the end of the day you must achieve
something tangible in order to feel good about yourself. And by “every day” you mean every
single day—workdays, weekends, vacations. No matter how much you may feel you deserve
a day of rest, if the day passes without some form of achievement, no matter how small, you
will feel dissatisfied. You have an internal fire burning inside you. It pushes you to do more,
to achieve more. After each accomplishment is reached, the fire dwindles for a moment, but
very soon it rekindles itself, forcing you toward the next accomplishment. Your relentless
need for achievement might not be logical. It might not even be focused. But it will always be
with you. As an Achiever you must learn to live with this whisper of discontent. It does have
its benefits. It brings you the energy you need to work long hours without burning out. It is
the jolt you can always count on to get you started on new tasks, new challenges. It is the
power supply that causes you to set the pace and define the levels of productivity for your
work group. It is the theme that keeps you moving.
Activator
“When can we start?” This is a recurring question in your life. You are impatient for action.
You may concede that analysis has its uses or that debate and discussion can occasionally
yield some valuable insights, but deep down you know that only action is real. Only action
can make things happen. Only action leads to performance. Once a decision is made, you
cannot not act. Others may worry that “there are still some things we don’t know,” but this
doesn’t seem to slow you. If the decision has been made to go across town, you know that
the fastest way to get there is to go stoplight to stoplight. You are not going to sit around
waiting until all the lights have turned green. Besides, in your view, action and thinking are
not opposites. In fact, guided by your Activator theme, you believe that action is the best de-
vice for learning. You make a decision, you take action, you look at the result, and you learn.
This learning informs your next action and your next. How can you grow if you have nothing
to react to? Well, you believe you can’t. You must put yourself out t.

Evidence-based practice is an approach to health care where health c.docx
Evidence-based practice is an approach to health care where health care professionals use the best evidence possible or the most appropriate information available to make their clinical decisions. Research studies are gathered from the literature and assessed so that decisions about application can be done so with as much insight as possible. Not all research is able to be taken into the clinical practice that is why assessing the literature and determining if it is possible to carry out in a safe and effective manner is important. The steps that make up the evidence-based practice is first to ask a question which pertains to your clinical practice, then search for research and literature that will help solve your question. Third step is to evaluate the evidence and determine if it can be used safely and effectively in your clinical practice, then you must apply the information to your clinical experience and with your patient’s values. Finally, you must evaluate the outcome and determine if the desired effect is being reached. (LoBiondo-Wood, 2014)
The nursing process is drilled into our education as nurses and with good reason. The nursing process is used countless times throughout our practice. I was taught the acronym ADPIE which stands for assessment, diagnosis, planning, implementation, and evaluation. When assessing it is important to gather as much information on the patient whether it be subjective or objective findings. After we make a nursing diagnosis based on our assessment and then we plan on how to best care for our patient, and what our goals and their goals are for their care. Once the plan is made and the patient consents to the care plan then we can implement the plan. After we implement, we evaluate whether our goals and the patient’s goals are being reached. If not, we begin the nursing process all over again. (LoBiondo-Wood, 2014) In my own practice I use the nursing practice on every patient and even do it multiple times. When a patient enters the emergency room they are immediately being assessed and then once the physical and interview assessments are done the nurse creates a nursing diagnosis. The nurse creates a care plan that is based on evidence-based practice and goes over it with patient to gain consent.
The difference between these two processes is how they begin. The nursing process begins by gathering as much information as possible to then give a nursing diagnosis. While evidence-based practice begins by posing a question first and then gathering as much information as possible. They do have similarities especially when it comes to the end of the processes. Evaluating whether the care plan is working in the nursing process or whether the research and literature brought out a successful new take on the clinical practice. They both need to make the outcomes are as expected and if they are not it is back to the beginning of the process.

For the DNP-prepared nurse, it is important to hone skills relat
For the DNP-prepared nurse, it is important to hone skills related to reviewing and evaluating research literature to implement evidence-based practices. As you examine epidemiological research, in particular, it is essential to ask, “What are the strengths and weakness of the research method(s)? Are the data analysis and interpretation sound? Is there any evidence of bias?” This Discussion provides you and your colleagues valuable practice in critically analyzing research literature.
To prepare:
With this week’s Learning Resources in mind, reflect on the importance of analyzing epidemiological research studies.
Critically appraise the Oppenheimer (2010) and Elliott, Smith, Penny, Smith and Chambers (1999) articles presented in the Learning Resources using Appendix A in Epidemiology for Public Health Practice as a guide.
Determine the strengths and weaknesses of the research methods and data analysis of each study.
Ask yourself, “Is any bias evident in either study? What did the researchers do to control for potential bias?”
Finally, consider the importance of data interpretation in epidemiologic literature and the issues that may arise if potential confounding factors are not considered.
Post
a cohesive scholarly response that addresses the following:
Appraise the Oppenheimer (2010) and Elliott et al. (1999) articles, summarizing the strengths and weaknesses of each study.
Analyze potential sources of bias in each study, and suggest strategies for minimizing bias.
Suggest possible confounding variables that may have influenced the results of each study.

Final Exam
Spend up to the next 2 hours to complete the following task, to the best of your ability. This exam is worth 100 points. There is no specific word count requirement.
Topic: Vitamin C - https://vitamincfoundation.org/squares/
Your submission should be in the form of written paragraphs, but you will not be evaluated on the quality of writing beyond the minimum necessary to understand what you are communicating. Your submission does not need to be as structured as the analysis assignments submitted during the semester. You should answer parts 1-5 of the task individually, each in paragraph form. Number each answer to correspond to parts 1-5, and then references at the end.
1. In one paragraph, summarize the product or service and describe what it is supposed to do.
2. In one paragraph, identify and clearly state at least one scientific claim being made about the product or service.
3. Identify and clearly describe at least two sources that are purported to support the claim. Each source should be described in a single paragraph (i.e., two paragraphs total). You must provide references for these sources (as well as any other that you use to complete the other tasks) at the end of your document, in the same format that you have been using throughout the semester.
4. Briefly evaluate the quality of the sources and whether or not the sources appear to support the claim. This section may be anywhere from one to several paragraphs long, as needed.
◦ State whether or not you believe the claim is justified, correct, and/or relevant based on your overall evaluation. This evaluation must take into account the sources you identified and evaluated (in steps 3 and 4).
◦ You may utilize sources that do not support the claim in your overall evaluation (i.e., sources in addition to the two from step 3).
◦ Your evaluation should explicitly consider at least two logical fallacies. These may be fallacies that you believe are present, or ones that could have been an issue but that you determined were not.
5. Based on your review of the product or service, summarize in one paragraph when use of the product or service might be beneficial: who might benefit and under what circumstances.
You are free to draw on prior knowledge, your textbook, and electronic resources, but should indicate when you have done so by using the same referencing methods utilized during the semester.
You may not use other humans. Communication in any form (verbal, physical, or electronic) with another human being during this exam will be considered academic misconduct and result in an automatic grade of zero.

Assignment topic Rapid Influenza Testing in Children and Adult.docx
Assignment topic : Rapid Influenza Testing in Children and Adults.
When seeking to identify a patient’s health condition, advanced practice nurses can use a diverse selection of diagnostic tests and assessment tools; however, different factors affect the validity and reliability of the results produced by these tests or tools. Nurses must be aware of these factors in order to select the most appropriate test or tool and to accurately interpret the results.
Not only do these diagnostic tests affect adults, body measurements can provide a general picture of whether a child is receiving adequate nutrition or is at risk for health issues. These data, however, are just one aspect to be considered. Lifestyle, family history, and culture—among other factors—are also relevant. That said, gathering and communicating this information can be a delicate process.
For this Assignment, you will consider the
validity
and
reliability
of different assessment tools and diagnostic tests. You will explore issues such as
sensitivity,
specificity,
and
positive
and
negative predictive values
. You will also consider examples of children with various weight issues. You will explore how you could effectively gather information and encourage parents and caregivers to be proactive about their children’s health and weight.
To Prepare
· Review this week’s Learning Resources and consider factors that impact the validity and reliability of various assessment tools and diagnostic tests. You also will review examples of pediatric patients and their families as it relates to BMI.
· Search the Library and credible sources for resources explaining the tool or test you were assigned. What is its purpose, how is it conducted, and what information does it gather?
· Also, as you search the library and credible sources, consider what the literature discusses regarding the validity, reliability, sensitivity, specificity, predictive values, ethical dilemmas, and controversies related to the test or tool.
Assignment
(3–4 pages, not including title and reference pages)
:
For the Adult Assessment Tools or Diagnostic Tests:
Include the following:
· A description of how the assessment tool or diagnostic test you were assigned is used in healthcare.
o What is its purpose?
o How is it conducted?
o What information does it gather?
· Based on your research, evaluate the test or the tool’s validity and reliability, and explain any issues with sensitivity, reliability, and predictive values. Include references in appropriate APA formatting.
For the Child :
Include the following:
· An explanation of the health issues and risks that are relevant to the child you were assigned.
· Describe additional information you would need in order to further assess his or her weight-related health.
· Identify and describe any risks and consider what further information you would need to gain a full understanding of the child’s health. Think about how you could gather this infor.

Achiever
Your Achiever theme helps explain your drive. Achiever describes a constant need for
achievement. You feel as if every day starts at zero. By the end of the day you must achieve
something tangible in order to feel good about yourself. And by “every day” you mean every
single day—workdays, weekends, vacations. No matter how much you may feel you deserve
a day of rest, if the day passes without some form of achievement, no matter how small, you
will feel dissatisfied. You have an internal fire burning inside you. It pushes you to do more,
to achieve more. After each accomplishment is reached, the fire dwindles for a moment, but
very soon it rekindles itself, forcing you toward the next accomplishment. Your relentless
need for achievement might not be logical. It might not even be focused. But it will always be
with you. As an Achiever you must learn to live with this whisper of discontent. It does have
its benefits. It brings you the energy you need to work long hours without burning out. It is
the jolt you can always count on to get you started on new tasks, new challenges. It is the
power supply that causes you to set the pace and define the levels of productivity for your
work group. It is the theme that keeps you moving.
Activator
“When can we start?” This is a recurring question in your life. You are impatient for action.
You may concede that analysis has its uses or that debate and discussion can occasionally
yield some valuable insights, but deep down you know that only action is real. Only action
can make things happen. Only action leads to performance. Once a decision is made, you
cannot not act. Others may worry that “there are still some things we don’t know,” but this
doesn’t seem to slow you. If the decision has been made to go across town, you know that
the fastest way to get there is to go stoplight to stoplight. You are not going to sit around
waiting until all the lights have turned green. Besides, in your view, action and thinking are
not opposites. In fact, guided by your Activator theme, you believe that action is the best de-
vice for learning. You make a decision, you take action, you look at the result, and you learn.
This learning informs your next action and your next. How can you grow if you have nothing
to react to? Well, you believe you can’t. You must put yourself out t.

Evidence-based practice is an approach to health care where health c.docx
Evidence-based practice is an approach to health care where health care professionals use the best evidence possible or the most appropriate information available to make their clinical decisions. Research studies are gathered from the literature and assessed so that decisions about application can be done so with as much insight as possible. Not all research is able to be taken into the clinical practice that is why assessing the literature and determining if it is possible to carry out in a safe and effective manner is important. The steps that make up the evidence-based practice is first to ask a question which pertains to your clinical practice, then search for research and literature that will help solve your question. Third step is to evaluate the evidence and determine if it can be used safely and effectively in your clinical practice, then you must apply the information to your clinical experience and with your patient’s values. Finally, you must evaluate the outcome and determine if the desired effect is being reached. (LoBiondo-Wood, 2014)
The nursing process is drilled into our education as nurses and with good reason. The nursing process is used countless times throughout our practice. I was taught the acronym ADPIE which stands for assessment, diagnosis, planning, implementation, and evaluation. When assessing it is important to gather as much information on the patient whether it be subjective or objective findings. After we make a nursing diagnosis based on our assessment and then we plan on how to best care for our patient, and what our goals and their goals are for their care. Once the plan is made and the patient consents to the care plan then we can implement the plan. After we implement, we evaluate whether our goals and the patient’s goals are being reached. If not, we begin the nursing process all over again. (LoBiondo-Wood, 2014) In my own practice I use the nursing practice on every patient and even do it multiple times. When a patient enters the emergency room they are immediately being assessed and then once the physical and interview assessments are done the nurse creates a nursing diagnosis. The nurse creates a care plan that is based on evidence-based practice and goes over it with patient to gain consent.
The difference between these two processes is how they begin. The nursing process begins by gathering as much information as possible to then give a nursing diagnosis. While evidence-based practice begins by posing a question first and then gathering as much information as possible. They do have similarities especially when it comes to the end of the processes. Evaluating whether the care plan is working in the nursing process or whether the research and literature brought out a successful new take on the clinical practice. They both need to make the outcomes are as expected and if they are not it is back to the beginning of the process.

TECHEDGE CASE STUDY WRITE-UP - OUTLINE 2
Our consulting team, RAL Consulting, was hired by TechEdge to evaluate its current
organization structure and behavior, identify areas of needed improvement, point out a list of
actionable items for the company to improve its performance and how to implement those. This
case outlines our team’s consulting process to produce a final case write-up.
CASE OUTLINE
1. Introduction (at least 1 but no more than 2 pages)
Overview and history of TechEdge (one or two paragraphs)
TechEdge offered technology consulting service to other business, in a B2B business model.
According to Prabhu & Hedgei, the company structure was divided into sales, consulting,
support and services, back office operations, finance and software. All these departments were
led by vice presidents who reported to the CEO. The VPs assisted the managers, who led their
teams independently in their departments.
TechEdge: Main Organizational Behavior issues (half - 1 page)
The case presented a summarized list of challenges faced by TechEdge. (For next assignment,
List 5 major reasons listed on the case on page 5). Our consulting team identified a few
behaviors that might be driving these 5 major issues. These are:
§ HR v. VP responsibilities
o HRs responsibilities limited to recruiting while VPs were managing, training and
evaluating performance of the employees.
o HR not assisting with people management issues.
§ Team leader v. VP responsibilities
o Team leaders were responsible for team performance, but each team member
reported to their respective VP.
TECHEDGE CASE STUDY WRITE-UP - OUTLINE 3
o Lack of unity and shared objectives
§ Group v. Team structure.
o Different departments working together as temporary teams without a clear
common objective. Each department was more focused on their own tasks.
§ General sense of unaccountability between teams:
o All teams felt they didn’t receive adequate support from the operations
department
o Dissatisfaction from Operations VP: Complaints about overload of work,
dependency on external factors, and not enough time to fulfil other teams’
expectations
o Finance team complained about not having enough funds due to bad performance
of the sales team
§ General feeling that the company was understaffed
§ HR team couldn’t hire the best employees offering low wages
Among all items listed, our consulting team considers the following the m.

Evidence Synthesis
Critique the below evidence synthesis exemplar to address the following.
Patient falls with injury and fall prevention remain complex phenomena in the acute care setting as well as a major challenge for healthcare professionals (Gygax Spicer, 2017). Patient falls are considered one of the leading adverse events occurring in acute care settings such as hospitals and nursing homes, with the detrimental impact to the patient ranging from mild to severe bruising, fractures, trauma, and even death (de Medeiros Araújo et al., 2017). Falls are common phenomena in older adults, with roughly one out of three people age 65 years and older who suffers from at least one fall per year due to multiple factors including environmental, social, and physiological factors either alone or in conjunction (Gygax Spicer, 2017). The etiology is that patients are attempting to get out of bed without assistance from nursing staff. Several of the causative factors include illness, impulsiveness, urgency, medications, or being in an unfamiliar environment. Lastly, there has been an increase in the amount of turnover in staffing, thus reducing the amount of available nursing staff in the practice setting.
Does the author clearly identify the scope of the evidence synthesis? Explain your rationale.
Are strong paraphrased sentences included that are supported by contemporary sources of research evidence? Explain your rationale.
Are the facts related to the practice problem presented in an objective manner? Explain your rationale.
Does the author use sources to support ideas and claims, and not the other way around? Explain your rationale.
Based on your appraisal, is this exemplar a true synthesis of the evidence? Or is it a summary of the evidence? Explain your rationale.

Evaluation is the set of processes and methods that managers and sta.docx
Evaluation is the set of processes and methods that managers and stakeholders use to determine whether the program is successful. Success is determined by multiple parameters such as financial viability of the program as well as the administrative and clinical impact of the program on the community’s or organization’s mission. Today’s programs are also expected to proactively address healthcare disparities and inequities in all levels of communities and demonstrate measureable reductions in inequities in diverse patient/client populations.
For this milestone, you will create an evaluation plan that will include the financial aspects of your proposed program as well as your evaluation methods. In your submission, be sure to include the following:
Proposed Program :to establish a department in IGM to facilitate holistic care of pediatric patients. This holistic care will require patients to be monitored before, during, and after a clinical procedure. The program will be flexible to ensure that each patient receives customized care at a subsidized fee.
Financial Aspects
o What specific resources would you suggest for use in your program? For example, what staffing and equipment suggestions would you make?
Be sure to explain your rationale.
o What is the impact on the community’s or organization’s current budget? In other words, will the program fit into the existing budget, or willconcessions need to be made?
o What recommendations would you make for ensuring the program is financially sustainable? Are there measurable expense reductions for the community/organization that cover the costs of the program? Does the program create new sources of revenue for the community or organization to offset the costs of the program?
Evaluation
o What will you measure (such as benchmarks, patient outcomes, or other measurable data) in order to evaluate the effectiveness of the program implementation? Focus on both administrative and clinical measures. Include multiple levels of measurement, including the patients/clients served, populations of patients/clients served, and community environmental measures.
o What tools will you use to measure the effect of your program on reducing the incidence of healthcare disparities?
o How will these evaluation tools tell you whether the program is successful?
o To what extent will the program help ensure healthcare equity across diverse populations? Be sure to justify your reasoning.
Guidelines for Submission: Your paper for this milestone must be submitted as a 2- to 3-page Microsoft Word document with double spacing, 12-point Times New Roman font, one-inch margins, and proper APA formatting. Include at least three peer-reviewed, scholarly resources.

Abstract
Neurofeedback (NF) is gaining recognition as an evidence-based intervention grounded
in learning theory, and 19-channel z-score neurofeedback (19ZNF) is a new NF model.
Peer-reviewed literature is lacking regarding empirical-based evaluation of 19ZNF. The
purpose of this quantitative research study was to evaluate the efficacy of 19ZNF, in a
clinical setting, using archival data from a Southwest NF practice, with a retrospective
one-group pretest-posttest design. Each of the outcome measures framed a group such
that 19ZNF was evaluated, as it relates to the particular neuropsychological constructs of
attention (n = 10), behavior (n = 14), executive function (n = 12), as well as
electrocortical functioning (n = 21). The research questions asked if 19ZNF improves
these constructs. One-tailed t tests performed, compared pre-post scores for included
clinical assessment scales, and selected quantitative electroencephalographic (QEEG)
metrics. For all pre-post comparisons, the direction of change was in the predicted
direction. Moreover, for all outcome measures, the group means were beyond the
clinically significant threshold before 19ZNF, and no longer clinically significant after
19ZNF. All differences were statistically significant, with results ranging from p = .000
to p = .008; and effect sizes ranging from 1.29 to 3.42. Results suggest 19ZNF improved
attention, behavior, executive function, and electrocortical function. This study provides
beginning evidence of 19ZNF’s efficacy, adds to what is known about 19ZNF, and offers
an innovative approach for using QEEG metrics as outcome measures. These results may
lead to a greater acceptance of 19ZNF, as well as foster needed additional scientific
research.

Operation Blue Star - Saka Neela Tara
Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.

Epidemiologists spend much of their time analyzing data and eval.docx
- 1. Epidemiologists spend much of their time analyzing data and evaluating the validity of the sources of their data. Measure of occurrence refers to the quantifying (count, ratio, proportion, rate, prevalence, and incidence) of events (Friis & Sellers, 2021). Data sources are critical elements that provide foundation and grounding for research. It is important to attain and evaluate the validity of data sources. Data sources require analysis and interpretation. In this Assignment, you are presented with a scenario in the “To prepare for this Assignment” section, where you are asked to search and interpret the meaning of the data. You will also determine the probable source and validity of the data. You will search in the Walden Library for scholarly articles and identify data using the sources of data provided to you in the Learning Resources to complete this Assignment. Reference: Friis, R.H., & Sellers, T.A. (2021) . Epidemiology for public health practice (6th ed). Jones & Bartlett Learning. To prepare for this Assignment: Refer to the health issue you selected in Week 1. Perform a search in the Walden Library, and identify at least two recent scholarly articles (no older than 3 years of publication) related to the health issue you have chosen.
- 2. Perform a search of sources of data provided to you in the Learning Resources to identify data relevant to the health issue you have chosen. Review the following scenario: Imagine that you work for a state health department monitoring trends in the occurrence of various reportable infectious diseases, as well as major chronic diseases. As you compare this year's trends with last year's, you notice an increase in the occurrence of the disease that you chose. Keep in mind, that some factors may cause an increase in incidence but, not necessarily, represent a true increase nor an epidemic. With this scenario in mind, write a 2- to 3-page paper that addresses the following: Identify ebola the health issue you have selected. Identify and describe at least two factors that might lead to an increase of new cases (incidence) of your health issue but not represent an outbreak or epidemic. Explain your thinking. Example factors include screenings, testing, changes in diagnostic criteria, policies, laws, campaigns, etc.
- 3. Identify and describe the descriptive epidemiologic factors (person/place/time) you would use to evaluate populations at risk (i.e., what factors are relevant for your health issue within the categories of person, place, and time). Using the scholarly resources that you identified, support and explain your thinking. Identify and explain who is more at-risk for the health issue based on the epidemiologic factors. Provide data and statistical evidence from the sources you identified to support your response. Explain your thinking. Note : Be sure to support your work with specific citations from this week's Learning Resources and additional scholarly sources specific to your disease. Ensure your in-text citations and reference list are in APA format. For more information on APA style, use the following Walden University resource: Walden University Writing Center. (2019).
