BUY A PLAGIARISM-FREE PAPER HERE

This nursing research study scenario asks students to apply research principles, decision-making, and critical analysis. The nursing research study scenario presents information that addresses research steps such as: the problem/area of interest, population of interest, intervention, data collection, data analysis, interpretation of findings, communication of findings, and use of findings in practice.

Review the scenario. Scroll down. Type your responses directly into the Template for Student’s Reponses. The table will expand as your type in your responses to each item/question. The numeric value is listed for each item/section of the template. Total possible numeric value = 100 points. NUR 343 Nurse as Consumer of Research Study Scenario Exercise

 

A nurse researcher hypothesized that subjects who participated in the program “Build Your Self-Concept During Pregnancy” to improve self-concept would score higher on the Adolescent Self-Concept Measuring Device (ASMD) than subjects who did not participate in the program “Build Your Self-Concept During Pregnancy” to improve self-concept.

 

The purpose of the study was to examine and compare the Adolescent Self-Concept Measuring Device (ASMD) scores of pregnant adolescents who participated in the program “Build Your Self-Concept During Pregnancy” and the ASMD scores of pregnant adolescents who did not participate in the program “Build Your Self-Concept During Pregnancy”.

 

Self-concept was operationalized as measured by the ASMD. This instrument has been evaluated for content and construct validity. The instrument has a Cronbach’s alpha co-efficient (.93).  The tool consists of 20 items with each item scored at intervals of 0-5 to represent each subject’s evaluation of her self-concept. Possible scores on the tool are from 0 to 100.

 

The nurse researcher used the ASMD to collect self-concept data from an experimental and a control group. The table below displays the scores from the experimental group. The mean score = 63.85    The nurse researcher set her “
p
” level at
p

Here is a sample text that shows the “thought process” to critique the abstract from Hayes’ (2014) research study about the impact of new medication prescriptions for older adults who are discharged from the emergency department. Using a step thought process, the template questions, and headings keeps you focused and on track with your critique work. NUR 343 Nursing Research Critique Paper

 

Step 1- Nieswiadomy (2012) recommends that the abstract should use 100-200 words to summarize the research study and should contain the essential components (i.e., purpose, hypothesis or research question(s), methods, description of subjects, and major findings).

Step 2 – Hayes’ (2014) abstract contained 154 words, the purpose ( i.e.,  to determine the effect of newly prescribed medications for older adults discharged from the emergency department), the research question (i.e., What is the effect of newly prescribed medications for older adults discharged from the emergency department?), the methods (self-administered Medication Complexity Index and telephone administration of the Knowledge of Medication subtest at 48-72 hours after discharge from the emergency department), and a description of the subjects (i.e., 60 adults aged 65-90 years). The abstract did not contain the major findings of the study.

Step 3 – Constructive suggestions for the researcher: Hayes (2014) could have reported the study’s findings in the abstract in order to attract the reader’s attention (Nieswiadomy, 2012). Hayes (2014) needed to better emphasize and give examples to demonstrate how emergency nurses can use her research findings in their practice. In particular, emergency nurses need information about working with the aging adult population who receive newly prescribed medications at discharge. NUR 343 Nursing Research Critique Paper

APRN Roles History Essay

The development of each advanced practice registered nursing role has progressed significantly over time. Discuss the historical and developmental aspects of the RNP, CNM, CRNA, and CNS roles. Provide a general description of the roles and responsibilities of each type of APRN in today’s healthcare system. Compare the credibility of the early role to the role at this time.

Historical Development of Advanced Practice Registered Nursing (APRN) Roles and their Current Status

ORDER A PLAGIARISM-FREE PAPER HERE

The four recognised APRN roles are the certified registered nurse anestheist (CRNA), the certified nurse midwife (CNM), the clinical nurse specialist (CNS), and the registered nurse practitioner (RNP) (Hamric et al., 2009). The CRNA role began in the late nineteenth century. This is when Catholic sisters (who were the ones serving as nurses) started assisting surgeons with administering chloroform during surgery. This was during the American Civil War of 1861-1865. The CNM role also started in the late 19
th
and early 20
th
centuries. That is the time that hospital-based deliveries started gaining recognition compared to home deliveries by lay midwives. The CNS role, on its part, started in the 1950s with a psychiatric CNS program at Rutger’s University in New Jersey. Lastly, the RNP role began in the 1960s in Leslie County, Kentucky. That was when nurses there started informally defining the primary healthcare role of the Nurse Practitioner (NP). Development of these APRN roles then continued over the years up to now when their current status is well-defined (Hamric, 2009) APRN Roles History Essay.

A General Description of the Roles and Responsibilities of Each APRN Type

As stated above, each of the APRN roles whose historical roots have been discussed above is now well established. The CRNA gives anesthesia to patients during surgery and other procedures requiring an anesthetic. The CNM is specialist in childbirth and women’s health, while the CNS is a clinical expert and leader in a particular area of specialty. Lastly, the RNP provides primary health care to a particular population focus.

The credibility of the early role was lower than that of the current role. This is because these APRN roles are now formally taught at postgraduate level and are respected in the healthcare sector in the United States.

The sentence that stands out the most for me is, “You find it easy to criticize others,” which describes the negative emotionality aspect of my personality. I cannot say that I am extremely surprised by the results, yet I have not expected that I will get such low scores demonstrating that the person is “critical, rude, harsh, callous” and is not “good-natured, sympathetic, forgiving, courteous.” Although I am indeed quite critical to other people, I do not agree that I am rude or lack sympathy. Therefore, I believe that the test does not accurately demonstrate the traits of the person analyzed. PSY-255-Trait-Theory-Short-Answer-Worksheet.

 

Utilizing at least one peer-reviewed resource, write a paragraph explaining the benefit of using personality testing in order to determine whether an individual should be employed in a specific job.

Personality is always analyzed by the employers, and the results of the tests influence employee selection, development, and team-building (Hurst & Yung, n. d.). There is a great variety of approaches, strategies, and techniques, allowing to assess an individual’s personality. The employers, employing personality testing prior to hiring, focus on two major aspects, namely person-job (P-J) fit and person-organization (P-O) fit. In other words, the employer analyzes the potential worker’s skills and competencies, and if their personality matches the organization’s environment (Kumar, 2019). In fact, personality testing is the key factor that allows the entity to determine the person’s effectiveness and usefulness (Calvasina & Calvasina, 2016), which helps to hire professional and adequate individuals capable of adding to the development of the organization. In addition, such testing enables the employer to get people with “‘good character,” decreasing the possibilities of “a costly negligent hiring lawsuit if an employee harms a customer or co-worker” (Cavico et al., 2015). Other reasons for the application of personality testing include planning of management teams, its relatively low costs, reduction in turnover of employees and customers, or sifting the least qualified individuals (Cavico et al., 2015) PSY-255-Trait-Theory-Short-Answer-Worksheet. Therefore, personality testing has lost of benefits for the employment process, permitting to determine the best candidates for the needed positions.

 

Utilizing at least one peer-reviewed resource, write a paragraph explaining the limitations of using personality testing in order to determine whether an individual should be employed in a specific job.

Despite the clear benefits of personality testing in the recruitment process, there is a variety of limitations, which reduce its effectiveness or even make it useless for employers. Some of the researchers claim that often the choice of the tests and their application can be neither valid nor reliable (Cavico et al., 2015). The major problem that arises with the implementation of such testing is the possibility of fake results. This aspect can be caused by two reasons, namely emotional pressure and anxiety, as well as dishonesty (Cavico et al., 2015). Individuals trying to fake their results by analyzing the questions and predicting the scores for each answer is a frequent phenomenon in the contemporary world PSY-255-Trait-Theory-Short-Answer-Worksheet. Yet, there are still no practical approaches to mitigating the problem (Cavico et al., 2015). Except for the discussed matter, one more aspect limiting the application of the testing is the fact that test results cannot help in predicting the person’s behavior that may be different from the actions typical for their personality type. Overall, personality testing has several limitations reducing its effectiveness, which necessitates further improvement of evaluation techniques.

 

Imagine a situation where a person suddenly had access to the test results of a boyfriend/girlfriend. Explain why this person may have a strong desire to review the results of their significant other. What social and ethical problems could arise from seeing their results?

There is a common belief that personality tests are, in fact, extremely accurate and enable us to analyze our character to determine the strong and weak sides. There is a great variety of testing options, which may focus on various aspects, like leadership qualities or the role in relationships. Although the results are not always accurate, other people would still like to read the characteristics of others around them, especially the family, friends, or boyfriends/girlfriends, to get a better understanding of the person they are communicating with. Moreover, most people would like to make sure they see the true identities of others not to get betrayed. Any individual would like to date with a reliable and sincere person, and testing is one of the means of checking individuals around. It may cause both positive and negative effects depending on the expectations of the person and the actual results of the testing. In terms of the social aspect, the review of the results of other people may lead to conflicts, the spread of information to other people, and change in the attitude of those who expect to encounter different results. Or if the outcomes are better than assumed, the situation results in more reliable social connections and better relations. In terms of the ethical side of the question, the review of the results can be defined as the violation of personal rights for confidentiality. Moreover, as the results of the test may be faked/inaccurate, any change of the behavior can be perceived as morally incorrect. Tests cannot show what the person really is, and people should rely on their own vision and feelings while assessing the person PSY-255-Trait-Theory-Short-Answer-Worksheet.

Should we know the personality profiles of our community leaders? What might the public gain or lose from having those profiles?

It may be extremely beneficial for the community to check the personal profiles of their potential leaders prior to voting to determine the best candidate for the position of the national leader. Such matter can allow the public to choose more suitable and trustworthy individuals who can add to the prosperity of the nation. At the same time, taking into consideration the chance that personality profiles can be faked to demonstrate the person in a better light, the access to such information may result in the wrong choice, threatening the future of the country. I assume there are no tools/testing strategies that can aid in getting absolutely accurate information about the person; therefore, the access to testing results has more potential drawbacks than benefits. Moreover, after I read about the experiment performed by the professor Michael Wiederman from the School of Medicine Greenville and an expert on psychological tests who proved that randomly taken tests have similar results to the tests completed by another person (Shapiro, 2018) I became confident that contemporary testing are absolutely irrelevant and should not be taken into consideration when making serious decisions.

NURS 6501 COPD Case Study Analysis

COPD is a disease typified by reversible obstruction of airflow and defective inflammatory response within the lungs (Hatipoğlu, 2018). The defective inflammatory response within the lungs is an immune response to long-term exposure to toxins such as cigarette smoke. The amplified immunity response can result to chronic bronchitis characterized by mucous hypersecretion, emphysema characterized by tissue destruction; and defective mechanisms that cause inflammation of the small airway as well as fibrosis (bronchiolitis).
​
The pathological changes cause elevated airflow resistance within the small airways, air trapping, amplified compliance of the lungs, in addition to progressive airflow obstruction (Newsome et al., 2018) NURS 6501 COPD Case Study Analysis. These pathogenic mechanisms lead to the pathological changes present in COPD. The pathological changes then lead to the physiological abnormalities present in COPD such as abnormalities in gas exchange; airflow obstruction; mucous hypersecretion; pulmonary hypertension; systemic effects; hyperinflation; and ciliary dysfunction (Newsome et al., 2018). These physiological abnormalities manifest as symptoms present in the patient such as breath shortness, a flattened diaphragm, thicker sputum, increased AP diameter among other symptoms and physical abnormalities (Hatipoğlu, 2018).

The prevalence and incidence of COPD among black in America have remained lower when compared to white populations. COPD might be influenced by ethnic and racial factors. Likely differences in COPD between different ethnic and racial groups include biological and genetic variations; disparities when it comes to diagnosis and treatment; as well as increased exposure to tobacco smoke.  Gilkes et al (2016) established that the prevalence of COPD among the blacks and Asians is lower in comparison to the whites. In this study, Asians and blacks with COPD also had less severe symptoms where the white patients had severe breathlessness when compared to the Asians and black COPD patients (Gilkes et al., 2016). There is also a significant variation in the prevalence of COPD among Latinos when compared to Hispanics NURS 6501 COPD Case Study Analysis.

The variation of COPD among different races and ethnicities may be attributable to the smoking variations among different racial and ethnic groups (Diaz et al., 2018). Smoking prevalence is highest among Americans of Alaskan and Indian origin, while the lowest among Asians. Even though blacks have a higher likelihood of becoming smokers, they smoke a fewer number of cigarettes daily, and this can explain why the prevalence of COPD is lower among blacks when compared to the whites within the US. Asians tend to have a low smoking rate and this explains the low prevalence of COPD among the Asians (Gilkes et al., 2017) NURS 6501 COPD Case Study Analysis.

Module 2 Assignment: Case Study Analysis

An understanding of the cardiovascular and respiratory systems is a critically important component of disease diagnosis and treatment. This importance is magnified by the fact that these two systems work so closely together. A variety of factors and circumstances that impact the emergence and severity of issues in one system can have a role in the performance of the other NURS 6501 COPD Case Study Analysis.

Effective disease analysis often requires an understanding that goes beyond these systems and their capacity to work together. The impact of patient characteristics, as well as racial and ethnic variables, can also have an important impact.

Leadership Profile

Results from the StrengthsFinder assessment

Every person has identifiable leadership strengths, areas in which a person thrives or excels. But people usually fail to identify these strengths. Consequently, many times, people use their strengths ineffectively or fail to use them at all.  Completing a Gallup strength finder assessment can help individuals recognize their areas of strength. An individual’s strengths are key to the personality of the individual (Northouse, 2017). After completing the Clifton strengths finder assessment, the top 5 signature themes of talents that emerged were achiever, empathy, responsibility, positivity,   and harmony NURS 6053 Your Leadership Profile discussion essay.

ORDER A PLAGIARISM-FREE PAPER HERE

The achiever theme assists me to explain my drive. Being an achiever, I always make a tangible achievement at the end of the day to feel good about myself. Empathy means that I can sense the emotions of the people around me and help them express their feelings. Harmony means that I am talented in living in agreement with other people. In my view, nothing good can be gained from friction and conflict, so I seek to hold conflicts at a minimum. Positivity means that I lookout for the positive in any situation and try my best to avoid negativity no matter the setbacks I encounter.   The responsibility theme compels me to take ownership of all the things in commit to and I feel psychologically bound to follow them through to completion NURS 6053 Your Leadership Profile discussion essay.

Strengths, core values, and characteristics I would like to strengthen

The two strengths I would like to strengthen communication and relator.  Strengths are derived from possessing particular talents and then additionally developing these talents by attaining additional practice, skills, and knowledge (Northouse, 2017). I can strengthen the talent of being an excellent communicator by learning about the difficulties of effective communication and seeking the help of a communications expert to assist me develops public communication skills. When one possesses the strength in relator, they have a profound relational capability to develop relationships with all people. I can achieve this by creating a space for the formation of strong relationships. By strengthening the relator theme, I can create the appropriate environment for members of the team to form close, trusting and honest relationships.

Communication and relationship building are two characteristics that I would like to strengthen.  A nurse leader I must be capable of and managing relationships with numerous persons because teamwork and collaboration are essential in the delivery of quality care. Effective communication is essential to the management of any relationship, but they are in particular crucial to a nurse leader who is required to engage in a wide range of relationships. According to Yoost and Crawford, (2015 communication is the basis of the practice of nursing. Communication skills are crucial for the work of the nurse and any other nurse.  NURS 6053 Your Leadership Profile discussion essay. Through the development of good communication skills, the nurse can get information, convey a plan, assign, and asses a care plan. The nurse interacts and develops relationships with co-workers, patients, and their families as well as other healthcare professionals and leaders. Both relationship building and effective communication are important for moving toward and achieving a common goal as well as resolving conflicts.

The two core values I would like to strengthen are altruism and human dignity. Altruism means being concerned about the well-being and welfare of others. Altruism in professional nursing practice is reflected by the nurse’s advocacy and concern for the wellbeing of patients, colleagues as well as other providers. Integrity means acting per the code of ethics and standards of practice (Murray, 2017).  When I strengthen my core values of altruism I will offer support to my followers and encourage act ethically when providing care and to develop caring relationships with each other and with the patients.
