My heritage is that of a Caucasian from the southern part of America brought up in a Christian family background.
In a 1-2 page Word document:

Reflect upon your own heritage assessment and explain the degree to which your answers indicate you identify with your traditional heritage.
If you believe or do not believe you identify with your traditional heritage, discuss why and how you believe it may impact your nursing practice.

appraising research evidence.

Realtors rely on detailed property appraisals—conducted using appraisal tools—to assign market values to houses and other properties. These values are then presented to buyers and sellers to set prices and initiate offers.

Research appraisal is not that different. The critical appraisal process utilizes formal appraisal tools to assess the results of research to determine value to the context at hand. Evidence-based practitioners often present these findings to make the case for specific courses of action.

In this Assignment, you will use appraisal tools to conduct a critical appraisal of published research. You will then present the results of your efforts.

To Prepare:

  • Review the Resources and consider the importance of critically appraising research evidence.
  • Reflect on the four peer-reviewed articles you selected in Module 2 and analyzed in Module 3.
  • Review and download the Critical Appraisal Tools document provided in the Resources.

PREVIOUS ASSIGNMENT, TEMPLATE, AND THE 4 PEER REVIEW ARTICLES ARE ATTACHED IN THE DOCUMENTS BELOW

The Assignment (Evidence-Based Project)

Part 4A: Critical Appraisal of Research

Conduct a critical appraisal of the four peer-reviewed articles you selected and analyzed by completing the Critical Appraisal Tools document. Be sure to include:

  • A levels of evidence table
  • An outcomes synthesis table

Part 4B: Critical Appraisal of Research

Discussion Board Assignment #6

Chapter 7–The Health Care Workforce and Chapter 8—Financing Health

Answer the following questions on Health Care Workforce/Personnel:

  1. The majority of schools of medicine, dentistry, nursing, and other professions and their teaching hospitals are heavily subsidized by federal and state funds. Many of those graduates, when they become health practitioners, feel no obligation to society for their publicly supported education. Do health care providers who reap the benefits of high compensation and social position have an ethical responsibility to repay taxpayers by meeting the needs of the medically underserved?
  2. Technical advances in health care have spawned an ever-increasing number of specialty- trained personnel. More recently, however, hospitals and other institutions are promoting the cross-training of personnel so that they can perform multiple tasks and work more flexibly, based on institution needs. What are the implications of cross training, in terms of quality of care, costs, and efficiency?
  3. Men comprise a small segment of the nurse population, although their numbers are increasing.  Given the good income potential of the nursing profession and continuing demand, what is your opinion about why nursing does not attract more males?

Answer the following questions on Health Care Financing:

  1. Name one (1)  way each of the following has affected the costs of health care in the US?
    • The health insurance industry
    • Advances in medical care technology
    • Changes in U.S. demographics
    • Government support for health care
    • Consumer expectations
  2. If we accept the premises that resources available to meet the costs of health care are finite, and that continuing to increase dollars allocated for health care expenses carries “opportunity costs“ for the nation and society, discuss your position on the following: As a national policy should we allocate a set level of resources and apply them to achieving “the greatest good for the greatest number” (necessarily leaving some out) OR should we adopt the individualist approach of “those who can pay get, those who can’t pay, don’t?”
  3. From the patient perspective, what might be some of the positive and negative aspects of “disease management programs?”

relationship to culture

For this first milestone, you will select an issue or topic in diversity to analyze through the four general education lenses. You will also analyze the issue or topic’s relationship to culture and society.

Remember to keep your sites trained on diversity. For example, it’s not enough to do your paper on opioid addiction but not also address issues relating to differential access depending on, for example, race and socio-economic status.

If you need help deciding on a topic below are topics to name a few to choose from:

Opioid addiction, treatment, and access to healthcare comparing diverse populations (race, gender, class)

Conflicts in the intergenerational workplace

The [mis]representation of women in the media (i.e., sexual objectification)

White privilege, Male privilege, Heterosexual privilege, Class privilege

Women exercising power over their own bodies ( or not); reproductive justice

The vilification of the poor

The War on Drugs in Black Communities

These are just a few ideas, but you no doubt have some of your own. Reach out to me and share your vision with me, and I’ll let you know if it’s a go. The main thing is that no matter what topic you decide to go with, you make sure that it’s Diverse. Try to pull in two to three different categories relative to the four dimensions of diversity introduced in Module One (and also included as easy reference in Module Two).
