While the implementation plan prepares students to apply their research to the problem or issue they have identified for their capstone change proposal project, the literature review enables students to map out and move into the active planning and development stages of the project.  

A literature review analyzes how current research supports the PICOT, as well as identifies what is known and what is not known in the evidence. Students will use the information from the earlier PICOT Statement Paper and Literature Evaluation Table assignments to develop a 750-1,000 word review that includes the following sections:      

1-Title page     

2-Introduction section     

3-A comparison of research questions     

4-A comparison of sample populations     

5-A comparison of the limitations of the study     

6-A conclusion section, incorporating recommendations for further research

Question 1: Art of the AmericasThis week, we studied a vast array of cultural objects produced in North, South, and Central America prior to 1492. Select one object from each of the following cultures: Aztec, Inca, and North (Native) American.First, identify each object, including its name, date, medium, and location/geographical region of origin.Then, in a minimum of 2 well-developed paragraphs, address the following questions for each object:What are the unique and specific visual characteristics of the object? How are these visual characteristics typical of the time and place in which the object was created?How does meaning or function of the object reflect the culture in which it was produced?

Question 2:

 Neoclassicism, Romanticism, and RealismBeginning in the 19th century, artistic movements carry the suffix “-ism” to their name. Originally derived from Ancient Greek, “-isms” is appended to a word that then reflects a philosophical concept. In the case of art, it comes to mean the philosophy or approach to art that binds a group of artists together.Select one representative example from each of the following “-isms” studied this week: Neoclassicism, Romanticism, and Realism. In 3 well-developed paragraphs, discuss:What is the philosophy or approach to art that is defined by the –ism.What are the specific visual characteristics of your example that are representative of the overall style of the –ism?How does the specific subject of your selected work reflect the philosophy of the –ism?Be sure to explain your ideas clearly and support them by discussing specific works of art that you have read about this week, talking about how they illustrate and support your ideas.

Review the SPSS output file which reports the results of the related samples t-test to compare the number of U.S. states where each brand was sold in 2008 with the number of U.S. states where those same brands were sold in 2012. For each brand, there is one value for the number of states in 2008 and another value for the number of states in 2012, making this a repeated measure.

 

Answer the following questions based on your observations of the SPSS output file:

 

1. What was the mean number of U.S. states in which all of the beer brands were sold in in 2008?
2. What was the mean number of U.S. states in which all of the beer brands were sold in in 2012?
3. Was there a significant difference in the number of states in which these beer brands were sold in 2008 versus 2012? Report the results of the t-test as follows: t(df value) = ___, and p-value.

 

Case Study: Roslyn, a six-year-old, is attending public school for the first time. Her parents brought her to the clinic and stated, “she appears to have pain in her legs and won’t participate in playtime.” The parents noticed recently Roslyn appears pale and acts weak. Roslyn is diagnosed with sickle cell anemia. After her parents and siblings undergo genetic testing, it is found that Roslyn is the only family member with the disease.

• What are the priority nursing interventions for Roslyn?
• What anticipatory guidance should the nurse provide Roslyn and her family regarding the diagnosis of sickle cell anemia and her attending school?
• How can the nurse support the child and family?
• What discharge instructions should the nurse provide to Roslyn and her parents?
• What, if any, activity restrictions will Roslyn have after discharge?
