Topic 2 DQ 1Qualitative research is a research method which .docx
Topic 2 DQ 1
Qualitative research is a research method which does not use numeric variables; it contributes knowledge or understanding by describing situations within certain groups or populations of interest. Data is often collected through interviews and observation (Helbig, 2018). Typically, when conducting qualitative research, there are enormous amounts of data which must be gathered, transcribed and managed. This amount of data can be overwhelming to the researcher, which may lead to confusing and erroneous results. There are ways to process the information into a quality study. First, researchers need to remain focused on the research question and the process to answer the question. Johnson et al. (2020) state, “Identifying and developing a research topic is comprised of two major tasks: formulating a research question and developing a conceptual framework to support the study.” Many times, the research question is too broad and too vague, which makes processing the information difficult. Additionally, the study should finish with a focused conclusion to help carry the focus through the entirety of the study. Wu et al. (2016) stated, “The process should be systematic (dependability) and well-documented in the analysis section of a qualitative manuscript.”
Second, Watkins suggests using the RADaR technique to manage all of the data. RADaR stand for Rigorous And accelerated Data Reduction. “The RADaR technique involves using tables and spreadsheets from general-purpose, word-processing software to develop all-inclusive data tables that undergo several revisions. These revisions, called “data reduction,” help produce shorter, more concise data tables” (Watkins, 2017). This process converts raw data into more manageable and user-friendly format.
Using 200-300 words APA format with refences to supporting this discussion
Qualitative data has been described as voluminous and sometimes overwhelming to the researcher. Discuss two strategies that would help a researcher manage and organize the data.

Topic 2 DQ 1Child abuse is any Act of Violence either physic.docx
Topic 2 DQ 1
Child abuse is any Act of Violence either physical or emotional towards an individual under 18 years of age. Children of all age group are at risk of such forms of abusive activities. It is been estimated that globally around 1 million cases of child abuse (2 to 17 years) in form of physical, emotional and sexual violence and neglect occurred in the previous year(U.S Department of Health and Human Services, 2019)
Types of abuse
Physical abuse : This involves all forms of activities that cause physical or physiological harm to a child, examples are beating, biting, shaking and burning, and it’s prevalent among children of all ages.
Psychological abuse: This might involve mental torturing such as verbal abuse or terrorizing a child as well as humiliation. All these forms may cause psychological illness in the victims. Usually toddler, preschool, and school-age years are exposed to psychological forms of abuse.
Sexual abuse: This includes involving minors or children below 18 years in sexual activities. Sexual abuse includes direct and indirect sexual activities that the child may not be able to comprehend, most victim of sexual abuse are preschoolers and school age children, but rare cases of infant and toddler abuse are also reported in many countries(U.S Department of Health and Human Services, 2019)
Signs of abuse:
Adolescent/Child will likely exhibit the following characteristics:
Failing grades at school
Difficulties relating with others of engaging in any meaningful relationship
Increased incidence of theft, arrest, and violence
Promiscuous behaviors
Poor hygiene, and unkempt
Facial injuries with no cogent explanations
Abnormal weight gain or loss.Frequent elopements (U.S Department of Health and Human Services, 2019)
Cultural variations and child abuse
:
According to UNICEF 2022 data on female genital mutilation, about 200 million girls in 31 counties are victim of such practices. In some part of Africa, this form of child abuse is a norm for the female especially teenagers, the main reason for genital mutilation is preventing victims from promiscuity(UNICEF : For every child, 2020)
Nurse's role in reporting child abuse
Any forms of child abuse must be immediately reported to the police as well as child care authorities functioning under the state government.
When a nurse suspects a child abuse, it must be immediately reported to the physician or the senior in charge nurse.
If the child is with the person suspected to be an abuser, the further assessment must be done after eliminating the person from the room.
Ensure that the child is comfortable and then a head to toe assessment must be performed.
At the time of examination it is advisable to have a witness probably from the medical profession.
A nurse must properly record the significant assessment findings suggestive of abusive activity with date and time.
In my state the Department of child welfare referral are made who will take the incident o.
TOPIC 1 Active Listening Skill Set; Assessing your Listening Skills.docx
TOPIC 1: Active Listening Skill Set; Assessing your Listening Skills, Barriers to Active Listening, and Improving your Listening Skills
First, we will look at "What is an Active Listener"? It’s a great question. Are you someone who while another is speaking is already preparing in your head your next statement?
I have had experiences where I was talking to a person who was not listening at all. Some have even been engaged with their phones, pretending to listen. It can be very discouraging!
Hoppe (2014) briefly stated:
Active listening is the willingness and ability to hear and understand. At its core, active listening is a state of mind that involves paying full and careful attention to others. Avoiding premature judgment, reflecting understanding, clarifying information, summarizing and sharing are the steps to great listening. By learning and committing to these skills and behaviors, leaders can become more active listeners and, over time, improve their ability to lead.
Listening with your heart.
I am still learning to do this. Yeshua listened to others with His heart. "Yeshua who was a great teacher listened without prejudice. There is an example where we can especially see His interaction with the woman at the well (Jn. 4:4-42 NIV).
Despite culture, gender, racial, and moral strikes against her, Yeshua lovingly interacted with her … both listening and talking" (
taken from Train Christian Leaders website
)
Humphries (2012) expands on this….
Emotional listening involves a range of qualities: politeness, political intelligence, an awareness of verbal and non-verbal cues, and a willingness to make the exchange enjoyable. (Humphrey, 2012, p. 55)
Learning Activities
Activity 3:1 My Listening Skills
Complete the following activities to learn about and assess your listening skills:
a) Reading: Read Hoppe, M. (2014).
Active Listening: Improve Your Ability to Listen and Lead.
b) Active Listening Assessment: Read the questions given and answer them by rating yourself on your listening behaviors towards others.
c) How to Improve Your Listening Skills After taking the self-assessment. If you gave yourself a 4 or 5 rating on any question, you will find that item on pages 16 through 20 (Note:
pages may differ with e-books
).
HOMEWORK Submit your Self Assessment to the Dropbox below due Saturday, May 13th 2021.
Activity 3:2 Levels of Listening
Leadership communication is not only about what you say, it’s about how you respond to others. Your listening skills are crucial to your ability to understand and respond to thinking that may be different from your own.
All leaders must cultivate their listening on three levels:
LISTEN PHYSICALLY
Be present. You must be “in the moment” to connect with others.
Use open body language and eye contact to create rapport.
Eliminate physical distractions such as laptops, phones, and papers.
LISTEN MENTALLY
Stay with the speaker—rather than skipping ahead in your mind.

With this in mind, explain how you plan to incorporate the culture care theory in your Unit 7 presentation Assignment that is due on Friday, Day 3 of class, and how the theory relates to your proposed policy change in your policy change proposal.please 300 words and it needs to include this policy proposal for change......
There must be at least 3 references APA
Policy Change Proposal Section II
Introduction
The proposed policy change is meant to improve the effectiveness of public laws and regulations and even give information on the public use of funds. Further, it will address the practices of the private sector employment that affects the ability of people to work and make their living above the poverty line and this mostly applies to the youths, unmarried dependent adults. The proposal is meant to make the public policy more inclusive, collaborative and responsive to the interests of the ordinary citizen so as to prepare them for their future life.
From the proposed amendment, there are measurable goals that will determine the level of success of the policy change proposal and this will include: First, by the end of the year we expect 60% of unmarried adult children to be independent and live an economically viable lifestyle. Second, by the end of 2018, the rate of poverty to reduce by 19% since the country will be composed of economically productive youths. Lastly, we expect the employment rate in the country to increase by 26% thereby increasing the economy of the country (Dillon, Erin & Rotherham 2009).
Policy change options
“Do nothing option” is when one does offer no initiative for change characterized by unwillingness and inability to take responsibility or work towards an achievement. Incremental change option is the step of making small adjustments to the expected end results, and mostly it does not alter or threaten the existing structure of the youthful age or alter the current methods of family management in this case of the change proposal. A major change option is the one that will alter the content, structure, the scheme of assessment and the mode of provision of the programs in question i.e. it will entail deletion, addition and replacement to a substantial part of the program or the act of law (Detixhe 2011).
Financial criteria
Substantive funding stream is the amount of money that is existing independently of others and is in large quantity. Likelihood of ongoing funding is the amount of money that is required to fund the ongoing operation of future developments of a project that is not currently provided for in terms of cash, debt or equity. Ability to meet current and future demands of the proposal is all about sustainability of our society as per the future and the current needs and makes appropriate changes in the way we live (Center on Education Policy 2007).Political feasibility is t.

Today’s generation is seeing tremendous changes in how business is d.docx
Today’s generation is seeing tremendous changes in how business is done throughout the world, and how society in general responds to social, and cultural change in ways that has never been seen before. Fifty years ago diplomacy among nations was substantially different from what we see today. Fifty years ago it would have been unheard of for women to negotiate diplomatic issues. However, today it has become the norm. While not every change is accepted worldwide, religion has become a key factor in how business is conducted. In the United States not only does religion play an integral part of politics but, one must be accepting of the other cultures that have emerged, such as Gay Rights, inter-racial and inter-religious marriages. Religion and the acceptance of religion has been so highly regarded by nations that the mere mention of religious clerics becoming involved in any type of national business is to the point that “one of the titles of the bishop of Rome is pontifex maximus, or “greatest bridge builder.” In Poland, John Paul II, helped construct a bridge that would ultimately restore the connection between Europe’s East and West.”(Albright, 36) While this is how one of the greatest popes of modern times was viewed, it does not only apply to Christianity. Many leaders in the Middle East are viewed in the same way and are held to the same regard. This has all come at the expense of the mixing of the very many cultures. Religions and cultures have been joined to the point the finding the original culture is next to impossible. We have come to accept diversity in marriage and religion.
Question
How has the mixing of religions and cultures created a greater level of diversity and affected people worldwide, so that what was not accepted fifty years ago, even thirty years ago is now considered normal, everyday events.

To the extent that hiding information from people dependent on it or.docx
To the extent that hiding information from people dependent on it or otherwise misleading them is wrong on deontological grounds, it follows that there is a mandate favoring transparency.
On the other hand, it can be argued that secrecy or even providing misleading information can be justified under, for example, competitive or national security circumstances. Prohibitions against corporate espionage highlight the assumption that informational privacy is to be protected. In any event, it’s difficult to make a case for a level of transparency that goes beyond what people need to make a decision.
Continuing this internal dialogue, secrecy and misleading information usually have time limits, so any pain from bad news is merely being postponed. And, let’s face it, a lot of wishful thinking is behind the aggressive approach to reporting that concerns us. Companies want to look good to their investors, lenders, suppliers, and customers. So they “butter up” balance sheets and operating statements, hoping that the future bears out what are often only empty promises.
Consider this actual example:
An industrial supply company is facing an annual review from its banker, wanting to at least maintain its current line of credit or even increase it in order to support some expansion plans. To satisfy this banker, it’s clear that some improvement in the company’s financial position is in order. Under consideration:
Delay payments to suppliers in order to improve cash position. Defer timely vehicle and equipment replacements to reduce depreciation expense and preserve cash. Solicit advance sales from regular customers – delivery and payment requirements set back 90 days – leading to increases in current revenue/accounts receivable, but no reduction in inventory or delivery expense.
Avoid the gimmickry involved in these steps and prepare plans to reduce expense and improve sales to be presented to its banker in its account review.
How would you determine which is the more acceptable path in this situation?
Would it matter if the company had been put on WTAC (watch this account closely) status in the previous year, such that an adverse review would probably lead to more severe terms and requirements, perhaps to the bank “pulling the plug"?
In considering these questions, do some research (citations, please) and give some thought to just what is meant by the concept and how it is interpreted or applied in some organizations.

Topic 2 DQ 1Qualitative research is a research method which .docx
Topic 2 DQ 1
Qualitative research is a research method which does not use numeric variables; it contributes knowledge or understanding by describing situations within certain groups or populations of interest. Data is often collected through interviews and observation (Helbig, 2018). Typically, when conducting qualitative research, there are enormous amounts of data which must be gathered, transcribed and managed. This amount of data can be overwhelming to the researcher, which may lead to confusing and erroneous results. There are ways to process the information into a quality study. First, researchers need to remain focused on the research question and the process to answer the question. Johnson et al. (2020) state, “Identifying and developing a research topic is comprised of two major tasks: formulating a research question and developing a conceptual framework to support the study.” Many times, the research question is too broad and too vague, which makes processing the information difficult. Additionally, the study should finish with a focused conclusion to help carry the focus through the entirety of the study. Wu et al. (2016) stated, “The process should be systematic (dependability) and well-documented in the analysis section of a qualitative manuscript.”
Second, Watkins suggests using the RADaR technique to manage all of the data. RADaR stand for Rigorous And accelerated Data Reduction. “The RADaR technique involves using tables and spreadsheets from general-purpose, word-processing software to develop all-inclusive data tables that undergo several revisions. These revisions, called “data reduction,” help produce shorter, more concise data tables” (Watkins, 2017). This process converts raw data into more manageable and user-friendly format.
Using 200-300 words APA format with refences to supporting this discussion
Qualitative data has been described as voluminous and sometimes overwhelming to the researcher. Discuss two strategies that would help a researcher manage and organize the data.

Topic 2 DQ 1Child abuse is any Act of Violence either physic.docx
Topic 2 DQ 1
Child abuse is any Act of Violence either physical or emotional towards an individual under 18 years of age. Children of all age group are at risk of such forms of abusive activities. It is been estimated that globally around 1 million cases of child abuse (2 to 17 years) in form of physical, emotional and sexual violence and neglect occurred in the previous year(U.S Department of Health and Human Services, 2019)
Types of abuse
Physical abuse : This involves all forms of activities that cause physical or physiological harm to a child, examples are beating, biting, shaking and burning, and it’s prevalent among children of all ages.
Psychological abuse: This might involve mental torturing such as verbal abuse or terrorizing a child as well as humiliation. All these forms may cause psychological illness in the victims. Usually toddler, preschool, and school-age years are exposed to psychological forms of abuse.
Sexual abuse: This includes involving minors or children below 18 years in sexual activities. Sexual abuse includes direct and indirect sexual activities that the child may not be able to comprehend, most victim of sexual abuse are preschoolers and school age children, but rare cases of infant and toddler abuse are also reported in many countries(U.S Department of Health and Human Services, 2019)
Signs of abuse:
Adolescent/Child will likely exhibit the following characteristics:
Failing grades at school
Difficulties relating with others of engaging in any meaningful relationship
Increased incidence of theft, arrest, and violence
Promiscuous behaviors
Poor hygiene, and unkempt
Facial injuries with no cogent explanations
Abnormal weight gain or loss.Frequent elopements (U.S Department of Health and Human Services, 2019)
Cultural variations and child abuse
:
According to UNICEF 2022 data on female genital mutilation, about 200 million girls in 31 counties are victim of such practices. In some part of Africa, this form of child abuse is a norm for the female especially teenagers, the main reason for genital mutilation is preventing victims from promiscuity(UNICEF : For every child, 2020)
Nurse's role in reporting child abuse
Any forms of child abuse must be immediately reported to the police as well as child care authorities functioning under the state government.
When a nurse suspects a child abuse, it must be immediately reported to the physician or the senior in charge nurse.
If the child is with the person suspected to be an abuser, the further assessment must be done after eliminating the person from the room.
Ensure that the child is comfortable and then a head to toe assessment must be performed.
At the time of examination it is advisable to have a witness probably from the medical profession.
A nurse must properly record the significant assessment findings suggestive of abusive activity with date and time.
In my state the Department of child welfare referral are made who will take the incident o.
TOPIC 1 Active Listening Skill Set; Assessing your Listening Skills.docx
TOPIC 1: Active Listening Skill Set; Assessing your Listening Skills, Barriers to Active Listening, and Improving your Listening Skills
First, we will look at "What is an Active Listener"? It’s a great question. Are you someone who while another is speaking is already preparing in your head your next statement?
I have had experiences where I was talking to a person who was not listening at all. Some have even been engaged with their phones, pretending to listen. It can be very discouraging!
Hoppe (2014) briefly stated:
Active listening is the willingness and ability to hear and understand. At its core, active listening is a state of mind that involves paying full and careful attention to others. Avoiding premature judgment, reflecting understanding, clarifying information, summarizing and sharing are the steps to great listening. By learning and committing to these skills and behaviors, leaders can become more active listeners and, over time, improve their ability to lead.
Listening with your heart.
I am still learning to do this. Yeshua listened to others with His heart. "Yeshua who was a great teacher listened without prejudice. There is an example where we can especially see His interaction with the woman at the well (Jn. 4:4-42 NIV).
Despite culture, gender, racial, and moral strikes against her, Yeshua lovingly interacted with her … both listening and talking" (
taken from Train Christian Leaders website
)
Humphries (2012) expands on this….
Emotional listening involves a range of qualities: politeness, political intelligence, an awareness of verbal and non-verbal cues, and a willingness to make the exchange enjoyable. (Humphrey, 2012, p. 55)
Learning Activities
Activity 3:1 My Listening Skills
Complete the following activities to learn about and assess your listening skills:
a) Reading: Read Hoppe, M. (2014).
Active Listening: Improve Your Ability to Listen and Lead.
b) Active Listening Assessment: Read the questions given and answer them by rating yourself on your listening behaviors towards others.
c) How to Improve Your Listening Skills After taking the self-assessment. If you gave yourself a 4 or 5 rating on any question, you will find that item on pages 16 through 20 (Note:
pages may differ with e-books
).

Activity 3:2 Levels of Listening
Leadership communication is not only about what you say, it’s about how you respond to others. Your listening skills are crucial to your ability to understand and respond to thinking that may be different from your own.
All leaders must cultivate their listening on three levels:
LISTEN PHYSICALLY
Be present. You must be “in the moment” to connect with others.
Use open body language and eye contact to create rapport.
Eliminate physical distractions such as laptops, phones, and papers.
LISTEN MENTALLY
Stay with the speaker—rather than skipping ahead in your mind.

Transcultural nursing theory is also called the culture care theory. With this in mind, explain how you plan to incorporate the culture care theory in your Unit 7 presentation Assignment that is due on Friday, Day 3 of class, and how the theory relates to your proposed policy change in your policy change proposal.please 300 words and it needs to include this policy proposal for change......
There must be at least 3 references APA
Policy Change Proposal Section II
Introduction
The proposed policy change is meant to improve the effectiveness of public laws and regulations and even give information on the public use of funds. Further, it will address the practices of the private sector employment that affects the ability of people to work and make their living above the poverty line and this mostly applies to the youths, unmarried dependent adults. The proposal is meant to make the public policy more inclusive, collaborative and responsive to the interests of the ordinary citizen so as to prepare them for their future life.
From the proposed amendment, there are measurable goals that will determine the level of success of the policy change proposal and this will include: First, by the end of the year we expect 60% of unmarried adult children to be independent and live an economically viable lifestyle. Second, by the end of 2018, the rate of poverty to reduce by 19% since the country will be composed of economically productive youths. Lastly, we expect the employment rate in the country to increase by 26% thereby increasing the economy of the country (Dillon, Erin & Rotherham 2009).
Policy change options
“Do nothing option” is when one does offer no initiative for change characterized by unwillingness and inability to take responsibility or work towards an achievement. Incremental change option is the step of making small adjustments to the expected end results, and mostly it does not alter or threaten the existing structure of the youthful age or alter the current methods of family management in this case of the change proposal. A major change option is the one that will alter the content, structure, the scheme of assessment and the mode of provision of the programs in question i.e. it will entail deletion, addition and replacement to a substantial part of the program or the act of law (Detixhe 2011).
Financial criteria
Substantive funding stream is the amount of money that is existing independently of others and is in large quantity. Likelihood of ongoing funding is the amount of money that is required to fund the ongoing operation of future developments of a project that is not currently provided for in terms of cash, debt or equity. Ability to meet current and future demands of the proposal is all about sustainability of our society as per the future and the current needs and makes appropriate changes in the way we live (Center on Education Policy 2007).Political feasibility is t.

Today’s generation is seeing tremendous changes in how business is d.docx
Today’s generation is seeing tremendous changes in how business is done throughout the world, and how society in general responds to social, and cultural change in ways that has never been seen before. Fifty years ago diplomacy among nations was substantially different from what we see today. Fifty years ago it would have been unheard of for women to negotiate diplomatic issues. However, today it has become the norm. While not every change is accepted worldwide, religion has become a key factor in how business is conducted. In the United States not only does religion play an integral part of politics but, one must be accepting of the other cultures that have emerged, such as Gay Rights, inter-racial and inter-religious marriages. Religion and the acceptance of religion has been so highly regarded by nations that the mere mention of religious clerics becoming involved in any type of national business is to the point that “one of the titles of the bishop of Rome is pontifex maximus, or “greatest bridge builder.” In Poland, John Paul II, helped construct a bridge that would ultimately restore the connection between Europe’s East and West.”(Albright, 36) While this is how one of the greatest popes of modern times was viewed, it does not only apply to Christianity. Many leaders in the Middle East are viewed in the same way and are held to the same regard. This has all come at the expense of the mixing of the very many cultures. Religions and cultures have been joined to the point the finding the original culture is next to impossible. We have come to accept diversity in marriage and religion.
Question
How has the mixing of religions and cultures created a greater level of diversity and affected people worldwide, so that what was not accepted fifty years ago, even thirty years ago is now considered normal, everyday events.
