Assignment Expectations:

Length:  2000 words in length

Structure: Include a title page and reference page in APA format. These do not count towards the minimum word count for this assignment. Your essay must include an introduction and a conclusion.

References: Use appropriate APA style in-text citations and references for all resources utilized to answer the questions. A minimum of three scholarly sources plus the textbook are required.

Provide a 3-4 sentence response to the discussion question answer that is provided below. The original question will also be provided.

Response: The list of research and practice is 1) Systematic reviews followed by the following,

2) Randomized control trials (RCT’s), 3) Non-randomized controlled studies, 4) Controlled cohort studies, 5) Uncontrolled cohort studies, 6) Case studies and case series, qualitative and descriptive studies, EBP implementation, and QI projects, and 7) Expert opinion (Melnyk & Fineout-Overholt, 2018).

There are many methods of research. One must start out with a review of the literature in their inquiry. One of the reasons is to see what research has been done as to not duplicate unnecessary research. A review will also help to see where to begin a research study or project. If a project is desired, is there enough evidence with reliability, validity, applicability, and replicability? If the evidence is sufficient, and has been applied to quality improvement and/or EBP projects then it can be possibly considered as expert opinion. Whatever you find in the process at least you can then consider if the research has the necessary information available or whether you may want to find another topic for research. It depends on what your reason is for the search.

Original Question: What levels of evidence are present in relation to research and practice, and why it is important regardless of the method you use?

 For this Career Development assignment, complete the following:

• Initiate a focused job search online using industry key words. (COO-Chief Operations Officer for a Community Health Center)
• Develop a resume that would support applying for positions you have found.
  • When developing your resume, consider the skills and job duties listed in the job descriptions and relate them to your education and experience. (NCMA-National Certified Medical Assistant, EMT-Emergency Medical Technician, BS- Healthcare Management and Administration, MS-in Healthcare Administration)
• Conduct a practice interview either on your own (using flashcards with prepared questions), with the help of a friend/family member, or with a professional in your field.
• Develop a well-written two- to three-page paper that includes the following:
  • The results of your job search
  • Your resume
  • What you learned in developing your resume
  • An assessment of your experience in a practice interview, including what you learned that you can apply to a real-life interview.

Always follow APA style.

Select one of the following four concepts for your paper: trust, hope, suffering, uncertainty. Once you’ve chosen your concept, complete the following:Determine the aim or purpose of your analysis; what do you want to accomplish by conducting this concept analysis? Answer the questions “Why am I doing this?” and “Why is this relevant to nursing knowledge and nursing science?” Conduct your literature review by identifying all uses of the term that you can discover. Answer “what are the known conceptualizations?     Locate and use a minimum of: 3 dictionary definitions; 1 thesaurus entry; and 5 scholarly references from the nursing literature (you may use non-nursing literature, if necessary). Combined, these references will be the basis for identifying and defining attributes of your selected concept.Determine the critical or defining attributes of the concept by identifying what each instance or use of the term has in common with the other uses. The more scholarly references you locate and use, the easier it is to determine critical attributes of a concept.Define the 4 cases using the critical attributes:     Construct a model case, or a real-life scenario that uses the concept and includes all critical attributes of the concept. Explain how you use each critical attribute. This case should be an accurate representation or model of your concept.Construct a contrary case, or one that is opposite of the concept. Support the claims you make by explaining how and why the contrary case does not contain any of the critical attributes of your concept.Construct a borderline case, or one that is related to the concept but is not actually an example of the concept. Support the claims you make by explaining how and why the borderline case differs from the model and contrary cases (i.e., does not contain all of the critical attributes of your concept, etc.)Construct an invented case, or fictitious scenario that uses the concept and includes all of the critical attributes. Explain how you use each of the critical attributes

Instructions:Complete a working draft of steps 1-4 of your assignment “Paper: Concept Analysis.” As a “check-in” opportunity, selected components of steps 1-4 must be provided in your post. If you have had insights that have developed since beginning your assignment, post them in your initial post. If you are unsure about how to do something, ask in your initial post. In short, this is your space to use to your advantage in order to revise and refine your work thus far and progress towards a final product. You should include the following:Why are you doing a concept analysis (besides earning course credit)? Why are concepts significant to the discipline? How do concept analyses contribute to nursing knowledge and nursing science? These questions should be answered in your introduction paragraph where you describe your aim/purpose.Of the 4 concepts (trust, hope, suffering, uncertainty), which one did you select?Post your reference list thus far; include 3 dictionaries,1 thesaurus, and a minimum of 5 scholarly references from the literature (nursing and non-nursing literature).What are the defining attributes of your concept you’ve identified? Of the 4 cases (model, contrary, borderline, invented) using the critical attributes, select and describe 1 case in your initial post.
