pediatric congenital Heart diseases: atrial septal defect Order Description Pediatric Scholarly Assignment: Maximum 8-10 pages excluding title page, abstract, references, and appendices Rationale. The purpose of the pediatric scholarly assignment is to demonstrate understanding of theoretical nursing knowledge related to promoting health or care of children with alternations in health. This is an opportunity for the student to highlight content areas of their choice with further inquiry using the literature to validate discussion within the paper Through application of skills, knowledge, and personal experiences, the student will discover meaning in the content as it relates to pediatric nursing and their own nursing practice in the future. The chosen topic will be discussed with the instructor in advance. Assessment Criteria:
1. Select a concept or condition, issue, or problem related to pediatric nursing care. Give examples from your personal experience with chosen topic.
2. Describe the concept or patients current condition, issue, problem using theoretical nursing knowledge. Be sure to relate to growth and development principles. Define a theory and characteristics as it relates to promoting childrens health or pediatric nursing care. Cite references of such details from literature.
3. Identify one key nursing intervention and discuss in relation to the selected topic to improve health outcomes. Provide rationale in your discussion supported by evidence and/or criteria from the literature. Please provide specific references. (only peer reviewed journal articles).
4. Discuss how the key nursing intervention relates to health outcomes relevant to the social determinants of health. Be selective- you do not need to discuss each social determinant of health.
5. Discuss how the selected social determinant(s) of health reflect (or not) your orientation of values of health. Provide specific example.
6. Adhere to rules of grammar, spelling, and APA format (i.e adequate referencing, clarity of writing, content organization).

Research Article Critique, Part 2 Occupational Stressors, Stress Perception Levels, and Coping Styles of Medical Surgical RNs: A Generalized Perspective (Wakim, 2014)
Your assigned article for critique is:
Wakim, N. (2014). Occupational stressors, stress perception levels, and coping styles of medical surgical RNs. Journal of Nursing Administration, 44(12), 632-639. doi:10.1097/NNA.0000000000000140
Instructions:  A major skill that is learned in this course is how to critically read and critique nursing research articles.  The purpose for critiquing an article is to critically evaluate the research process followed by the author(s) of the assigned article. This is an information-intensive, time-intensive process that is not learned overnight.   To demonstrate your skill at critiquing an article, you will complete this open-book multiple choice assignment.
Here’s how you should approach completing this week’s assignment to finish critiquing an article:
1.  First, do your assigned reading in Grove, Gray, and Burns (2015) and complete the reading worksheets early in the week.  This will introduce you to the critique skills you will need for the week.
2.  Skim the entire instructor assigned research article that has been posted on Blackboard for you so that you will have an idea of what it is about.  Lightly cross out the abstract for the article (you won’t be using it). Then, for this week, re-read carefully from the study design section through the end of the article.
3.  Print this document and find the best answer to each question below based on your Grove, Gray, and Burns (2015) assigned reading for the week and what you have read in the instructor assigned research article.
4.  Some of the questions in the critique assignment below will seem unfamiliar to you. Look up key terms from the question in your textbook.  Some examples of these terms might be: power analysis, inter-rater reliability, and generalization. You can also look in Chapter 12 for an example of a critical appraisal (or critique) of a quantitative research article.
5. Once you have completed this assignment “on paper”, go into blackboard and enter your answers by the assignment due date and time listed in the syllabus.  Ignore any wording from Blackboard that indicates that “this is a test” and carefully enter your answers from this document.
6.  You will have two access attempts to record your answers.  This is given to you so that if you encounter technical difficulties on your first attempt, or you would like a second attempt to try to improve your grade, you may do so.  You will not be able to see the questions that you missed when you submit your attempt.  Blackboard will record the highest grade from the two submissions.
If you have questions about this assignment, you can post them to your group discussion board for help.  Please do not post the exact question from the assignment below and ask the group for the answer as this would constitute academic dishonesty.
