This is the assignment directions:

The Literature Review provides the background and context for the research problem and illustrates to the reader that the researcher is knowledgeable about the study. This section shares with the reader the results of others studies that closely related to the study being reported. It also related a study to the larger, ongoing dialogue in the literature about a topic, filling in gaps and extending prior studies.  Summarize previous studies related to a topic them in a succinct manner. In a proposal, the literature review is generally brief and to the point.

Review various articles and dissertations, as they may help one to understand how to write and summarize previous research. When writing the literature review, it is wise to separate the various studies one finds into different categories.  Under these categories, create “Level 2 subheadings” in APA style. These subheadings are formatted just like Level 1 headings, but they are aligned left. See the subheadings below for an example.

1stSubheading

Choose one evident theme or topic that became apparent when researching your study. Briefly share the results of the various studies, including the most pertinent information such as the studies’ hypotheses, population, methodology, and results.Relate the study to an ongoing dialogue of the literature pertaining to the research topic. This means that each study one lists should relate to new, proposed study in some way. Report the studies sequentially if possible, building upon the findings of prior studies. Remember to separate each category of studies with a new subheading. Do this as many times as needed.  another evident theme or topic that became apparent when researching your study.

The topic I have written Is: Yoga and Decreased Levels of Depression in the Elder Population.

You will need to find 8-10 articles relevant to this topic and write in the literature review about it. Again It has to be 4 pages long. And all articles must be cited in APA format

The growth, development, and learned behaviors that occur during the   first year of infancy have a direct effect on the individual   throughout a lifetime. For this assignment, research an environmental   factor that poses a threat to the health or safety of infants and   develop a health promotion that can be presented to caregivers.

Create a 10-12 slide PowerPoint health promotion, with speaker   notes, that outlines a teaching plan. For the presentation of your   PowerPoint, use Loom to create a voice over or a video. Include an   additional slide for the Loom link at the beginning, and an additional   slide for references at the end.

Include the following in your presentation:

  1. Describe the selected environmental factor. Explain how the     environmental factor you selected can potentially affect the health     or safety of infants.
  2. Create a health promotion plan that     can be presented to caregivers to address the environmental factor     and improve the overall health and well-being of infants.
  3. Offer recommendations on accident prevention and safety     promotion as they relate to the selected environmental factor and     the health or safety of infants.

Discussion: Big Data Risks and Rewards

When you wake in the morning, you may reach for your cell phone to reply to a few text or email messages that you missed overnight. On your drive to work, you may stop to refuel your car. Upon your arrival, you might swipe a key card at the door to gain entrance to the facility. And before finally reaching your workstation, you may stop by the cafeteria to purchase a coffee.  From the moment you wake, you are in fact a data-generation machine. Each use of your phone, every transaction you make using a debit or credit card, even your entrance to your place of work, creates data. It begs the question: How much data do you generate each day? Many studies have been conducted on this, and the numbers are staggering: Estimates suggest that nearly 1 million bytes of data are generated every second for every person on earth.

As the volume of data increases, information professionals have looked for ways to use big data—large, complex sets of data that require specialized approaches to use effectively. Big data has the potential for significant rewards—and significant risks—to healthcare. In this Discussion, you will consider these risks and rewards.

To Prepare:

  • Review the Resources and reflect on the web article Big Data Means Big Potential, Challenges for Nurse Execs.
  • Reflect on your own experience with complex health information access and management and consider potential challenges and risks you may have experienced or observed.

1-Post a description of at least one potential benefit of using big data as part of a clinical system and explain why.

2-Then, describe at least one potential challenge or risk of using big data as part of a clinical system and explain why.

3-Propose at least one strategy you have experienced, observed, or researched that may effectively mitigate the challenges or risks of using big data you described.

4-Be specific and provide examples.

  • This assignment requires that at least three additional scholarly research sources related to this topic, and at least one in-text citation from each source be included.

Directions:

Write a 1,250-1,500 word paper that discusses how your personal model of leadership and leadership style may be applied in your work and how it compares to servant leadership and other models.

Part One:

  1. Discuss your personal model of leadership and how you might apply it in your role as a doctorally prepared advanced practice nurse.
  2. Analyze how your personal model reflects a practice of servant leadership.
  3. Compare servant leadership to two other leadership models.
  4. Discuss how leaders implement each of the models and how they fit with your personal model.
  5. Contrast the effectiveness of these models to bring about change in an organization.

Part Two:

  1. Evaluate how your personal model of leadership works in conjunction with your leadership style.

Develop an action plan using SMART goals (Specific, Measurable, Actionable, Relevant, and Timely) with an evaluation of personal development to work on two areas of personal improvement for your leadership style. The plan must include at least two SMART goals.

You are required to complete your assignment using real-world application. Real-world application requires the use of evidence-based data, contemporary theories, and concepts presented in the course. The culmination of your assignment must present a viable application in a current practice setting.

Topic: Evidence-Based Practice Implementation

Evidence-Based Practice Proposal – Section E: Change Model (PART 1)

Details:

In 500-750 words (not including the title page and reference page), apply a change model to the implementation plan. Include the following:

1. Rogers’ diffusion of innovation theory is a particularly good theoretical framework to apply to an EBP project. However, students may also choose to use change models, such as Duck’s change curve model or the transtheoretical model of behavioral change. Other conceptual models presented such as a utilization model (Stetler’s model) and EBP models (the Iowa model and ARCC model) can also be used as a framework for applying your evidence-based intervention in clinical practice.

2. Apply one of the above models and carry your implementation through each of the stages, phases, or steps identified in the chosen model.

3. In addition, create a conceptual model of the project. Although you will not be submitting the conceptual model you design in Topic 5 with the narrative, the conceptual model should be placed in the appendices for the final paper.
