Week 2: Assignment: Evidence Synthesis and Tables

Submit Assignment

• Due Sunday by 11:59pm
• Points 125
• Submitting a file upload

Purpose

The purpose of this assignment is to document sources of research evidence that support the evidence-based intervention for the selected practice problem, including the level and quality of each source of research evidence. A synthesis of the evidence is conducted to determine the overall strength and quality of the evidence. The development of an evidence table and synthesis are foundational to inform actions and decisions to improve healthcare outcomes. Construction of an evidence table and synthesis supports the professional formation of the DNP-prepared nurse.

Course Outcomes

This assignment enables the student to meet the following course outcome.

• CO 3: Develop strategies to lead project planning, implementation, management, and evaluation to promote high-value healthcare. (POs 3, 5, 7)

As you incorporate published research study findings into your own writing, you aim for synthesis of the material. Before learning how to write a synthesis, it is important to define this term. At its most basic level, a synthesis involves combining two or more summaries. Synthesis writing is more difficult than it might first appear because this combining must be done in a meaningful way.

A synthesis requires critical reading and thinking in order to compare different material, highlighting similarities, differences, and connections. When a practice scholar synthesizes successfully, they present new ideas based on interpretations of published research evidence. Conceptually, it can be helpful to think about synthesis existing at both the local (or paragraph) level and the global (or paper) level.

Synthesis is all about collecting information from different sources and putting it together as one content.

Review the Graduate Re-Purpose Policy in the Student Handbook, page 15:

Repurposed Work (Chamberlain University Graduate Programs only): Graduate students have the opportunity to use previously submitted ideas as a foundation for future courses. No more than 50 percent of an assignment, excluding references, may be repurposed from another Chamberlain University course (excluding practicum courses). Previous course assignments that are deemed building blocks will be notated in the syllabus by the course leader. As with every assignment, students must uphold academic integrity; therefore, students must follow the guidelines for remaining academically honest according to the Academic Integrity policy. If the instructor is not made aware of the repurposing of an assignment, the submission will be treated as plagiarized work if not properly referenced

Follow these guidelines when completing each component of this assignment. Contact your course faculty if you have questions.

Please answer the question below:

Assisting communities to adapt to climate change is a challenge we face. 

1. Pick a community near you and determine what climate change impacts they may face.

2. What vulnerabilities they may have. 

Remember to consider especially vulnerable populations within those communities and identify their specific challenges. (Websites such as CDC’s Climate and Health or EPA’s Climate Change Adaption Resource Center might be helpful.)

 Post an explanation for how you think the cost-benefit analysis in terms of legislators being reelected affected efforts to repeal/replace the ACA. Then, explain how analyses of the voters views may affect decisions by legislative leaders in recommending or positioning national policies (e.g., Congress’ decisions impacting Medicare or Medicaid). Remember, the number one job of a legislator is to be re-elected. Please check your discussion grading rubric to ensure your responses meet the criteria.

Companies practice output controls and measurement to obtain data for interest in a product. A common debated issue is the accessing of personal information, such as your Internet use and cell phone data. How often do you find an advertisement for a product you searched the day before? Do you appreciate organizations obtaining your Internet search information from Google? Explain the positive and negative actions for this situation. Remember to focus on controls and strategy in a global business. You must support your analysis from a news source, such as electronic newspapers, New York Times, International Business Times, Economic Times, or CNN News.
