Review the rubric criteria for this assignment. Conduct a literature search to select a quantitative research study related to the problem identified in Module 1 and conduct an initial critical appraisal. Respond to the overview questions for the critical appraisal of quantitative studies, including: • Is this quantitative research report a case study, case control study, cohort study, randomized control trial or systematic review? • Where does the study fall in the hierarchy of evidence in terms of reliability and risk of bias? • Why was the study done? (Define the problem and purpose.) • Were the steps of the study clearly identified? • What was the sample size? • Are the measurements of major variables reliable and valid? Explain. • How were the data analyzed? • Were there any untoward events during the conduct of the study? • How do the results fit with previous research in the area? (This may be reflected in the literature review.) • What does this research mean to clinical practice? Additionally, be sure to include the rapid appraisal questions for the specific research design of the quantitative study that you have chosen. These can be found in Chapter 5 of the textbook (Melnyk and Fineout-Overholt, 2015).  This critical appraisal should be written in complete sentences (not just a numbered list) using APA format.  Provide a reference for the article according to APA format and a copy of the article

Reflect on the role that the electoral process and government plays in one’s daily work and family life. As nurses, health policy can influence both arenas of our lives. 1) What policy issues might drive nurses to lobby Congress and/or get involved in campaign politics? 2)What strategies might nurses use to have their voices heard?

Assignment Requirements

Imagine that you are a sophomore at Premier College. Over the past few months, you have not been well due to increased amounts of academic pressure and found yourself unable to concentrate in class or sleep well at night. You went to the student medical center for evaluation and, after consulting with the staff doctor, you were issued a prescription for the treatment of depression.

 

A few days later, one of your professors tells you that he too has had to take medicine for depression in the past. You ask him how he knew about your situation, and he replied that all student medical records are available to every instructor and staff member at Premier College. Hearing this, you feel that your privacy rights have been violated.

 

That afternoon you research privacy rights on the Internet and learn that filing a HIPAA privacy complaint to the OCR had been a tedious process before July 2009. On July 27, 2009, the Secretary of Health and Human Services (HHS) delegated to the Director of OCR the authority to administer and enforce the HIPAA Security Rule. This action improved HHS’ ability to protect individuals’ health information by combining the authority for administration and enforcement of federal standards for health information privacy and security. Those standards are outlined in the HIPAA legislation. With the new regulation, the process of filing a privacy complaint has become simpler and more effective.

 

Then you research the steps involved with filing a privacy complaint with the OCR (http://www.hhs.gov/ocr/privacy/hipaa/complaints/index.html), download the Health Information Privacy Complaint form at (http://www.hhs.gov/sites/default/files/ocr/privacy/hipaa/complaints/hipcomplaintform.pdf), and complete the form. While working on the form, you realize some sections are critical to your case and must be addressed carefully.

 

You decide to write about your experience in a paper for your Legal Issues in Information Security class. For this assignment:

1.     Identify the early iterations of the HIPAA act and how the law has been modified to facilitate easier access to consumer complaints and enforcement.

2.     Describe the overall process of submitting a health information privacy complaint to the OCR.

3.     Identify specific sections of the complaint form that need critical attention while completing the form.

4.     Analyze a few situations that can occur if the critical sections are not well identified.

5.     Draft a brief summary, collating all your findings.

Did the student analyze the situations that one gets into if the critical sections are not well identified?

DNP projects.

/0 Comments/in /by

As a DNP-prepared nurse, you will likely encounter many different methods of disseminating the findings and implications of an evidence-based project. Each method has unique benefits. As discussed in this course, oral presentations can be an effective medium for delivering the findings of DNP projects.

For this Discussion, consider what makes an oral presentation effective. How might presentation approaches vary for an academic presentation versus a practice-based presentation?

To prepare:

Review various forms of disseminating the findings of an evidence-based project, as well as strategies for delivering effective presentations in this week’s Learning Resources.
If applicable, reflect on your experiences practicing with colleagues in a small group and presenting in other professional or academic situations. Conduct additional research as necessary to enhance your awareness of what makes a presentation most effective.
Consider how the needs or dispositions of the intended audience may inform your presentation
PLEASE ANSWER TO THE QUESTIONS

Share two or more insights related to presentation approaches and explain how this information may be used to promote the delivery of an effective DNP Project presentation. Be sure to note any considerations related to the intended audience that are important.

PICOT 

/0 Comments/in /by

PICOT is an acronym used to help develop clinical research questions and guide you in your search for evidence:

P = Patient population

I = Intervention or issue of interest

C = Comparison of interventions or comparison of interests

O = Outcome

T = Time frame

For example, you may wish to research if the timing of IV tubing changes affects the development of CLABSI, using this PICOT model:

In _____(P), what is the effect of _____(I) on ____(O) compared with _____(C) within ______ (T)?

In patients on the acute care medical surgical floor (P), what is the effect of changing continuous IV tubings every 96 hours (I) on the incidence of CLABSI (O) versus every changing continuous IV tubings every 48 hours (C) during a 6-month tracking period (T)?

Assignment Directions

Begin by selecting a topic in nursing or medicine that is of interest to you. Next, use PICOT to format possible research questions about that topic. Provide three possible PICOT research questions related to the chosen topic (each question will have a different direction on the same topic).

Include the following: 

  • Provide a brief description of the topic and background information.
  • Explain the significance of the topic to nursing practice.
  • Provide three clearly stated PICOT questions.

Your paper should: 

  • Include a Title page and a Reference page.
  • Be 2–3 pages (not including the title page and reference list).
  • Use current APA Style to format your paper and to cite your sources.

Breast Cancer

/0 Comments/in /by

If you read the “Health” page (either paper or web-based) of any major news source (e.g., The New York Times, CNN),  reports of the occurrence of health outcomes are common headlines. For  example, you may see the following or similar headlines:

“Breast Cancer Increasing in Asian-American Women”
“Teenage Smoking at an All-Time Low”

Have you ever wondered where this information comes from and what it really means?

Governmental agencies and other organizations routinely  collect descriptive epidemiological statistics on many health outcomes.  For example, statistics on the occurrence of cancer in the United  States have been continuously collected since the early 1970s through  the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER) Program of the  National Cancer Institute.

For this Case Study Assignment, you will analyze and  interpret descriptive epidemiologic statistics. To prepare for this  Assignment, review the material presented in the textbook.

A case study worksheet will be provided by your  instructor for this Assignment in the form of a Microsoft Word document.  Download the worksheet and type your answers directly into the document  to complete the Assignment. Be sure that your completed worksheet  contains your responses to all questions.

Prior to submitting your Descriptive Epidemiology Case Study, review the Module 2 Case Study Assignment Rubric
