Directions:

Complete a draft of your DPI Project prospectus according to the instructions and criteria provided in each section of the prospectus template. The draft should include information taken from “The 10 Strategic Points for the Prospectus, Proposal, and Direct Practice Improvement Project” document (from previous courses). Use the “Academic Quality Review Checklist (AQR)” (Chapters 1-3 only) to assist you in writing this prospectus. Include the following sections in the prospectus:

1. Introduction:      Provide an overview of your project.
2. Background      of the Problem: Provide an overview of the history and present state of      the problem.
3. Theoretical      Foundations: Identify and describe one or two theories or models to be      used to inform the project. Identifies the seminal      source for each theory or model (a seminal      source may be quite old and may be      published in a textbook). Illustrate how the theory or model will      inform your project.
4. Review      of the Literature/Themes: Describe the main and subthemes of your project.      You should begin with at least three main themes with three subthemes      each. Your literature review will eventually be 30+ pages with over 50      references (85% of these references must be from primary sources that is less than 5 years.
5. Problem      Statement: Specify the problem proposed for the project by presenting a      clear declarative statement that begins with “It is not known . . .      .” Identify the need for the project. Identify the broad population      (not the sample) for the project. Describe how this project may contribute      to solving the problem.
6. Purpose      of the Project: Describe the purpose      of this project. Use a declarative statement “The purpose of this      project is to . . . .” Describe the methodology and design. Describe      the specific population that this project will affect and how this project      will contribute to the field.
7. Clinical      Questions and Variables: Provide a brief introduction to the question      portion. State your clinical questions or PICOT questions. Describe and      operationally define each variable of interest.
8. Significance of the Project: Provide an      overview of how this project fits with other research in the field. Be      specific and relate to other studies. How will this project contribute to      the research overall? What is the expected value?
9. Rationale for Methodology: Clearly justify the methods chosen for      this project. Ensure the methods      align with the project questions or PICOT questions. Describe why this      method is the best fit.
10. Nature      of the Project Design: Describe the design you have chosen for this      project. Discuss why this design is appropriate based on the method chosen and the project questions.
11. Instrumentation      or Sources of Data: Describe the sources of data you will use. One source must be a valid and reliable tool,      survey, or questionnaire. You may use your discussion question from Topic      3 to assist with this section. Describe in detail all data collection      instruments. Describe the validity and reliability of each as appropriate      (one must be valid and reliable).
12. Data      Collection Procedures: Describe step by step how you will collect data.      All major steps need to be described. Include a discussion of      project sample recruitment, sample selection, and assignment to groups (as      applicable). Describe the process of obtaining informed consent, if      applicable.
13. Data      Analysis Procedures: Begin by describing your demographic data from your      participants. How will you analyze this data using descriptive statistics?      Restate each project question or PICOT question. For each question, describe in detail what      inferential statistics you will use to analyze your data. Include steps to      ensure your data meet the assumptions for each inferential statistic used.      Describe the a priori alpha level you plan to use.
14. Ethical      Considerations: Provide a description of      ethical issues related to your project and how you plan to deal with them.      Consider your methodology, design, and data collection. Compare to a      randomized controlled trial. Address anonymity, confidentiality, privacy,      lack of coercion, informed consent, and potential conflicts of interest.      Discuss how you plan to adhere to the Belmont Report key principles (respect, justice,      beneficence).

 74-year-old male with a history of hypertension and smoking, is having dinner with his wife when he develops sudden onset of difficulty speaking, with drooling from the left side of his mouth, and weakness in his left hand. His wife asks him if he is all right and the patient denies any difficulty. His symptoms progress over the next 10 minutes until he cannot lift his arm and has trouble standing. The patient continues to deny any problems. The wife sits the man in a chair and calls 911. The EMS squad arrives within 5 minutes. Upon arrival in the ED, patient‘s blood pressure was 178/94, pulse 78 and regular, PaO2 97% on room air. Neuro exam – Cranial nerves- Mild left facial droop. Motor- Right arm and leg extremity with 5/5 strength. Left arm cannot resist gravity, left leg with mild drift. Sensation intact. Neglect- Mild neglect to left side of body. Language- Expressive and receptive language intact.

Mild to moderate dysarthria. Able to protect airway.

In this Assignment, you examine a case study and analyze the symptoms presented. You identify the elements that may be factors in the diagnosis, and you explain the implications to patient health. 

(1- to 2-page case study analysis)

  explain the following:

· Both the neurological and musculoskeletal pathophysiologic processes that would account for the patient presenting these symptoms.

· Any racial/ethnic variables that may impact physiological functioning.

· How these processes interact to affect the patient.
