DISCUSSION:
Based on what you have learned about memory in Chapter 6, write a paragraph describing your views on the accuracy of eye witness’ memories of crimes. Be sure to mention what evidence leads you to think as you do about this topic.  For example, indicate whether you tend to give more weight to the testimony of witnesses who seem very sure of their stories or to the results of scientific research on constructed and distorted memories.  Be sure to say why you prefer one kind of evidence over another and whether you think the debate over the accuracy of eyewitness testimony will ever be resolved.

Identifying a Population and Clinical Area of Concern

/in /by

For this discussion, identify the population and the clinical area of concern that are addressed in the mental health counseling program for which you will propose the program evaluation. The identified population can be general or specific. You may want to identify a specific, underserved group. Examples of populations include the general public, children and adolescents, adults, women, men, veterans, police officers, Hispanic males, Hispanic females, high school students, college students, et cetera.
Once you have identified your population, identify the clinical area of concern that your project will examine. You might select a certain clinical area of concern that is a focus at your practicum or internship site. Examples of clinical areas of concern include, but are not limited to, substance abuse or dependency, depression, anxiety, eating disorders, attention deficit/hyperactivity symptoms or disorders, or PTSD.
Note: You may change the population, clinical area of concern, and the clinical intervention that you address in discussions throughout this course; doing so, however, will require more work on your part, as you will need to go back and research new literature.
In this post, address the following:

What population does your hypothetical program serve? Specify age range, gender, ethnicity, race, and so forth to demonstrate the unique characteristics of the population served.

What is the clinical area of concern (depression, anxiety, PTSD, eating disorders, self-esteem, et cetera) that your program is designed to address?

Integrate, cite, and reference at least one peer-reviewed journal article that describes how your hypothetical population has unique needs in this area of clinical concern. For example, your hypothetical program could be designed to assist female law enforcement officers who have developed PTSD. In this case, you would find at least one article that describes the particular issues that female officers might face in developing or getting treatment for PTSD.

What are the three main functions of the lymphatic system?

/in /by

lymphatic system is also active in circulation in those parts where blood is not present such as epithelial part of our skin.
The lymphatic system is responsible for the removal of interstitial fluid from tissues. It absorbs and transports fatty acids and fats as chyle from the . It transports white blood cells to and from the lymph nodes into the bones.

Explain how this database and the data is used for nursing practice and patient care. Evaluate the benefits and challenges of using the database system and the data.

/in /by

Explain how this database and the data is used for nursing practice and patient care. Evaluate the benefits and challenges of using the database system and the data.PLEASE READ ALL INFORMATION AND INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE BEGINNING TO GET A BETTER IDEA OF PAPER!
TO PREPARE:
Every day, nurses and other health care practitioners are challenged with managing large quantities of data and information. Unless this data and information can be translated into knowledge, it will have little meaningful value. Databases and data management techniques, if designed effectively, present health care organizations with the means to quickly and effectively transform data into useful knowledge. The ability to rapidly and accurately transform data into useable knowledge allows health care practitioners to make informed decisions on patient care.
•Select a database system that you encounter at work or with which you are familiar.(AT MY FACILTITY WE USE A DATABASE SYSTEM CALLED “COMPUTERIZED PATIENT RECORD SYSTEM CPRS THIS CAN BE GOOGLED) What data points are captured and used by nurses? (I AM A NURSE WE CAN USE ALMOST ALL INFORMATION FOR PATIENT CARE IE: LAB RESULTS, PAST MEDICAL HISTROY, PLAN BY DOCTORS, PLANS BY SOCIAL WORKERS, PAST NOTES FROM LAST VISITS, SURGERIES, ALLERGIES TO NAME A FEW)
•Consider the kind of data collected and the different elements of that data.
•Ask yourself: How is information in this database used for nursing practice and patient care? What benefits does the database system provide? What are the challenges of using the system?
DIRECTIONS:
WRITE a description of the system you selected and the types of data that are stored in the system. Explain how this database and the data is used for nursing practice and patient care. Evaluate the benefits and challenges of using the database system and the data.

 

Quantitative and qualitative research methods are both used in nursing research. Both methodologies complement each other because they are based on different ideologies that are useful in nursing practice.

/in /by

Quantitative and qualitative research methods are both used in nursing research. Both methodologies complement each other because they are based on different ideologies that are useful in nursing practice.
Quantitative research is a formal, objective, rigorous, systematic process for generating numerical information about the world. Quantitative research is conducted to describe new situations, events, or concepts; examine relationships among variables; and determine the effectiveness of treatments or interventions on selected health outcomes in the world. (Grove, Gray, & Burns, 2015).
Advantages
allow for a broader study, involving a greater number of subjects, and enhancing the generalisation of the resultscan allow for greater objectivity and accuracy of results. Generally, quantitative methods are designed to provide summaries of data that support generalisations about the phenomenon under study. In order to accomplish this, quantitative research usually involves few variables and many cases, and employs prescribed procedures to ensure validity and reliabilityusing standards means that the research can be replicated, and then analyzed and compared with similar studies. Quantitative methods allow us to summarize vast sources of information and facilitate comparisons across categories and over timepersonal bias can be avoided by researchers keeping a ‘distance’ from participating subjects and employing subjects unknown to themDisadvantages
collect a much narrower and sometimes superficial dataset results are limited as they provide numerical descriptions rather than detailed narrative and generally provide less elaborate accounts of human perceptionthe research is often carried out in an unnatural, artificial environment so that a level of control can be applied to the exercise. This level of control might not normally be in place in the real world yielding laboratory results as opposed to real world resultsin addition preset answers will not necessarily reflect how people really feel about a subject and in some cases might just be the closest match.the development of standard questions by researchers can lead to ‘structural’ bias and false representation, where the data actually reflects the view of them instead of the participating subject.Example is a quantitative assessment of patient and nurse outcomes of bedside nursing report implementation (Sand-Jecklin, & Sherman, 2014)
Qualitative research is a systematic, subjective approach used to describe life experiences and
Situations and give them meaning, this research methodology evolved from the behavioral and social sciences as a method of understanding the unique, dynamic, holistic nature of humans (Grove, Gray, & Burns, 2015).
Advantages
Provides depth and detail: looks deeper than analyzing ranks and counts by recording attitudes, feelings and behaviorsCreates openness: encouraging people to expand on their responses can open up new topic areas not initially consideredSimulates people’s individual experiences:a detailed picture can be built up about why people act in certain ways and their feelings about these actionsAttempts to avoid pre-judgements:if used alongside quantitative data collection, it can explain why a particular response was givenDisadvantages
Usually fewer people studied: collection of qualitative data is generally more time consuming that quantitative data collection and therefore unless time, staff and budget allows it is generally necessary to include a smaller sample size.Less easy to generalize: because fewer people are generally studied it is not possible to generalize results to that of the population. Usually exact numbers are reported rather than percentages.Difficult to make systematic comparisons: for example, if people give widely differing responses that are highly subjective.Dependent on skills of the researcher: particularly in the case of conducting interviews, focus groups and observation.Example is a qualitative study of nursing student experiences of clinical practice(Sharif & Masoumi 2005)
