The theoretical foundations of qualitative and quantitative methods are very different, but many researchers believe both methods should be used in the research study to increase validity and reliability. What advantages or disadvantages do you see in using both types of methods in a nursing study? Support your answer with current evidence-based literature.

– be sure to provide a meaningful response to at least two of your peers’ posts by the end of the week. In your responses to your peers, you might offer how you would use these tools to develop a care plan for a patient.

– also include your discussion some citations to support your statements. It is good to have opinions, but always best to have some evidence-based information to back up your points.  

First peer :

In nursing, when looking at a patients family tree or hereditary purposes, the genogram is an effective tool used. With genogram, the families are graphed out to show the health problems for each individual to help determine what could possibly be genetically passed along and assist in getting a better understanding of what some risk factors for the patient may be based off of the findings. On the other hand, ecomaps are based more on the relationships that the patient has. Giving a better idea as the what their home and family/friends relationship is like. Ecomaps, although not based on genetics risk factors may still help the nurse establish some thoughts for about how the environmental factors may affect the patient’s health. 

Second peer:

The family genogram is a format for drawing a family tree that records information about family members and their relationships over at least three generations. A family ecomap provides information about systems outside of the immediate nuclear family that are sources of social support or that are stressors to the family.  These tools enable nurses to provide direct care, remove barriers to needed services, and assisting the family to act on their own behalf and take responsibility. Patients may have more than one risk they are facing health-wise and these tools assist in servicing our patients better with a clearer understanding of the care they may need. For example, if there is a family history of cardiovascular disease there is a variety of preventative services that can be provided to the current family member in order to maintain a healthy lifestyle.

This paper is a for a nursing community Leadership class where five people volunteer and we must do a paper base on the following instructions. 

Scholarly Practicum Proposal will include the following:

· Problem Statement ( CHILD SAFETY AGE 5 TO 12 )

· ONE goal ( PLEASE MAKE SURE YOU WRITE THIS USING THE FOLLOWING ACRONYM )

Please use the “SMART” rubric to develop your goals and objectives:

“S”- Specific– State exactly what you want to accomplish (Who, What, Where and Why)

“M” Measurable– How will you demonstrate and evaluate the extent to which the 

goal has been met.

“A” Achievable– What is your action-oriented verb? (Please see last page of syllabus)

“R” Relevant– How does the goal tie into your key responsibilities? How is it aligned to objectives?

“T” Time-bound– Set a target date- “by when” to guide your goal. Include deadlines, dates, frequency.

· Three behavioral objectives ( MAKE THIS UP )

· Action Plan/Evaluation tool methods ( HOW ARE WE EVALUATING AND WHAT ARE OUR ACTION PLAN USE YOUR IMAGINATION AND RESEARCH)

· Implication for Nursing Practice ( WHY IS THIS IMPORTANT FOR NURSING)

· 4-6 Evidence Based References ( IMPORTANT!!!!! )

Goals must be related to the course objectives and the area of your practicum experience. The objectives should be specific and measurable. The plan of action should include step-by-step process to meet the objectives. The implications for nursing practice should be evidence-based. 

PAPER INSTRUCTION 

** MUST BE APA STYLE

** MUST HAVE AN REFERENCE PAGE (4-6 Evidence Based References!!! IMPORTANT WITHIN THE LAST FIVE YEARS)

**MUST BE RELATED TO NURSING

** MUST BE PLAGIARISM FREE!!!

  

 

I need 5 different Literature Review Articles on the topic Impact of Medication Administration Errors on 3-4-Year-old Leukemia Patients 

· Name the source of the articles and references

· A brief annotation of the key points of the source

· Define the Variables

o Identifies and describes independent and dependent variables.

Summary and Descriptive Statistics

There is often the requirement to evaluate descriptive statistics for data within the organization or for health care information. Every year the National Cancer Institute collects and publishes data based on patient demographics. Understanding differences between the groups based upon the collected data often informs health care professionals towards research, treatment options, or patient education.

Using the data on the “National Cancer Institute Data” Excel spreadsheet, calculate the descriptive statistics indicated below for each of the Race/Ethnicity groups. Refer to your textbook and the Topic Materials, as needed, for assistance in with creating Excel formulas.

Provide the following descriptive statistics:

1. Measures of Central Tendency: Mean, Median, and Mode
2. Measures of Variation: Variance, Standard Deviation, and Range (a formula is not needed for Range).
3. Once the data is calculated, provide a 150-250 word analysis of the descriptive statistics on the spreadsheet. This should include differences and health outcomes between groups.

APA style is not required, but solid academic writing is expected.

This assignment uses a rubric. Please review the rubric prior to beginning the assignment to become familiar with the expectations for successful completion. 

You are not required to submit this assignment to LopesWrite.
