Assignment: Application:
Drawing Conclusions About Research Findings and Their Implications for Clinical Practice
As a current or future nursing researcher and professional, your ability to draw reasonable conclusions from research findings will determine the effectiveness of proposed solutions for clinical nursing practice. As you continue to develop your skill set to become a nursing leader, your exposure to a multitude of research designs, research findings, and evidence-based practice will likely inform how you will absorb this knowledge into meaningful clinical practice. Throughout this course and program, your exposure to different research questions, research study designs, and approaches to addressing serious issues in both nursing and health care confirms the ever-changing landscape in which you have elected to practice. While this is in its own right challenging, it also offers several opportunities to create new knowledge, improve upon current nursing practice, and exercise research skills for positive patient outcomes.
For this Assignment, review the research methods and findings of the Verweij study conducted in 2014. The primary purpose of this quantitative research study was to investigate the effectiveness of an intervention to decrease medication errors in a hospital. The citation and discussion/conclusion information is intentionally deleted so you can draw your own conclusions.
In a 2- to 3-page, double-spaced paper, describe three conclusions you have drawn from the findings in this study, taking into consideration the limitations of the study. Next describe three implications for clinical practice. Once you have submitted the assignment, you will be given the full article for review.
Refer to the Academic Writing Expectations (AWE) Checklist document and use the W. template from this week’s resources. No abstract or reference list is required for AWE 2000/3000.

Library Assignment
This week you will develop an annotated bibliography. An annotated bibliography is just like a References List—a list of citations to books,

articles, and documents, both text and electronic—with one addition. Each entry includes a paragraph that 1) briefly summarizes the source, 2)

tells how you will use it in an essay, and 3) evaluates its credibility.
To complete the annotated bibliography, you will need to use the South University Online Library to locate three sources about the essay topic

you will write about in Week 3 (see: Week 3 Literary Analysis for more detailed information). In that assignment you will write about either

Candide or Faust.
For each source, you will create a citation formatted in APA style. Under each citation insert a paragraph that summarizes the source, tells how

you will use it, and evaluates its credibility.
Read chapter 9 in The New Century Handbook about how to judge sources.
This is an assignment that will require you to spend some time researching, so plan accordingly. The key to locating suitable library sources is

to choose appropriate databases in which to search. For example, a student writing about Goethe’s Faust chooses to search under the General

Education category and then clicks on the Literature Online resource. Having accessed Literature Online, the student types: Goethe Faust, and

after reviewing the selections available, chooses to download an article. The sources that you choose can be eBooks, chapters in books,

scholarly journal articles, or credible online materials. Librarians are available to help you with your research.

An icon is one who has had a great impact on the broader American culture. One aspect of iconicity that facilitates this impact is that the icon is symbolic; it represents more than itself. For example, Rosa Parks has come to represent the rights movement; while Gloria Steinem is an icon of feminism. Some icons represent the traditional aspects of a society and others might have an impact from challenging the status quo and forcing us to re-examine the values of our culture. Essays should be more than merely biographical papers, but should provide an in-depth exploration of the icon as a product of and influence on American culture. Your chosen icon may have enjoyed his/her heyday well before our current era, or it may continue to radiate tremors across the cultural landscape. Students who need guidance or assistance in choosing a subject for the essay assignment are encouraged to contact the Instructor.

Each research essay should be divided into 3 main sections:

• The icon’s biographical history; the significant events and incidents that shaped his/her character.
• The icon’s impact on popular culture; his/her influence on their profession, field of endeavor, others in their profession.
• The icon’s impact on American culture; what is their larger/mass significance.

Students will post their topic choice on our class Canvas site for the Instructor’s approval.

The requirements for this essay are as follows:

• Essays should be approximately 7-8 full pages (typed double spaced)
• A works cited page must be included.
• Students’ citations should conform to either MLA or APA style formats.
• A minimum of 4 sources must be used for your research.
• Wikipedia, Google, and other mass search engines are not valid for college-level essays.
• Late papers will not be accepted (unless the student provides a valid/authorized excuse).
• Completed rough drafts will be critiqued by the Instructor prior to the final due date if the student wishes to take advantage of this option.

 

Culture issues in clinical psychology
Write 10 empirical peer reviewed articles pertaining to culture issues in clinical psychology. This must include a citation in APA style. Then, for

each article provide a summary (at least 3 sentences) and an evaluation/critique of the article (at least 2 sentence).

 

Please respond to the following in one page or less for each item. Use a 12 point font
and line spacing of no less than 1.15 lines. The page length is a maximum, allowing
you to practice your skills in writing Executive Summaries. Identify your responses by
item number (i.e., to save space, you do not need to copy down the assigned task on
your paper). Grades will be based on three criteria:
1. Content of item responses – Each item has specific content expectations
included with it.
2. Use of resources – Support for your responses is provided by citations from
the assigned readings from class or from other publications. Citations should
be included in the body of your answer. A single References page listing all of
the references specifically cited in your responses should be included as the
last page of the assignment. The particular citation and Reference page format
is up to you, but it should be a generally recognized method such as APA or
MLA. A minimum of one citation is expected for each response for a “B” paper.
3. Quality of writing – Since this is a communication course, it is particularly
important to practice good writing skills (e.g., complete sentences, no run-on
sentences, proper grammar, logical and clear organization, etc.). Specific
grammar errors will not be noted on the assignment. Two or three minor errors
will not impact your grade. However, more than that may result in a deduction
of up to one full letter grade on the assignment, depending on the extent of the
infractions. Make sure you proof your work!
To earn an “A” on the assignment, one must achieve the following:
1. Content must be at the “Exceeds Expectations” level for at least two responses
and no “Does Not Meet Expectations” responses.
2. A minimum of two supporting citations should be included per content item.
3. Writing should include no more than two or three minor errors.

Assignment Brief

As Case Study: CC Music

Chris and Clive are both former music and music technology teachers who have recently taken early retirement. However, they have a long history of playing in bands and being session musicians, therefore they intend to remain busy. A Northern Soul band that they have worked with for many years, touring around the North West of England, will now become their focus. Chris and Clive have always managed all aspects of the band (studio work, playing at events, parties, TV and radio programmes). They publicise the band via a website, deal with all booking arrangements over the phone, and receive contracts and cheque payments through the post. The other six band members simply turn up and play. The band has always played at least twelve gigs a year, but this is likely to increase substantially now that they can commit more time to networking and promotions. As such, they will be required to take a much more professional approach.In addition, several other bands have asked if they will represent them for an agreed fee. As a professional route, this would mean considerable time working as music agentsto promote other artists.

Chris and Clive are aware that starting the agency would require a business approach. They would be responsible for; social media marketing, keeping business accounts, providing an updated calendar of events, and keeping track of the communications between themselves, the clients who want to book bands, and the bands who are signed to CC Music.

They realise that technology will play an important part in the business. They have read about Customer Relationship Management software and Enterprise Resource Management software, but just don’t know what kind of information technology support they really need as a small to medium enterprise (SME). They require professional business information technology advice before they can make any final decisions about investing funds in business software. Also, they are very keen on the potential of Open Source Software to keep the cost to a minimum.

Growing CC Music into a full-time small business is also of interest to younger family members who want to be involved. Chris has a daughter and Clive has a niece, both of whom are keen to support the business and potentially manage the business in the future. They haveall agreed to run the business in a democratic style and, as such, everyone will have an equal vote on any business decisions. Therefore, CC Music requires a report that can be read and understood by all of them. You are the OIM consultant who is responsible for researching this business and providing a consultancy report.

Task details and instructions
Your Task
You are a consultant who has been employed to advise CC Music on the effective implementation of strategic changes. You are required to produce the following:

Part A: Analysis – Business Process Models and strategy analysis

The models should follow the BPMN notation (see for example, http://www.omg.org/bpmn/Documents/Introduction_to_BPMN.pdf). It is recommended that you use Microsoft Visio to create the models although you may if you prefer use Word, PowerPoint or appropriate alternatives.
2. Strategic analysis for CC Music. You should use at least one recognised analysis technique such as SWOT, PESTLE etc

Part B:Open Source Software Comparison Table
In this section, you should conduct research into a suitable software solution for CC Music. You should decide on the set of characteristics which you will use to evaluate the software and your research should consider 4-5 alternatives in detail. This section should be presented as a table.

Part C:Report
In this section, you should write a report which provides an overview of the current situation for CC Music together with a roadmap outlining how the proposed changes to the business can be achieved to the benefit of the business. This should draw on your analysis in Part A, include your recommendation for software in Part B, and provide recommendations for ensuring that the strategy is effectively implemented, including consideration of the challenges ahead.

This section, should follow standard report structure:
Title Page – Contents – Introduction – Main Section – Conclusions and Recommendations – References.

Part D:NOT APPLICABLE Reflection on your contribution to the online discussion and wiki
In this section, you should submit a 250-word reflective summary, accompanied by your own self-assessment of your contribution to the online elements throughout the module, using the table labelled Reflection Self-Assessment Proforma in Appendix A (copy and paste it into your assignment document).
