From your own experience or through research, select a job that has a high risk for causing workplace musculoskeletal disorders (WMSDs). Discuss

how you could use design principles to reduce the risk of injury for this job. What obstacles might prevent your proposed job design from being

implemented?

Instruction:

Please read instruction carefully and should you have questions, please feel free to write me.

1. Please write “Method of Data Collection and Strategy” topic.

1.1 The questionnaire is using paper based-questionnaires and researcher had contacted and distribute to 35 Hotels in two different

locations (Central and South).

1.2 The contact person is Human Resource Manager and/or Training & Development Manager

1.3 Identify why using paper based- questionnaire stratey – such cost and time constraints and nature of hotel operational

work does not fit for online-questionnaires such googledrive or survey monkey as they are not sitting in the office all times and do not access

email. However, the researcher also offer both online and paper-based questionnaire. All respondents are willing to do with paper-based

questionnaires.

1.4 From 35 hotels, the positive response 16 hotels: The reasons of not participate is such corporate policy, due to the

high occupancies which made employee busy for operational work, no response,etc.)

1.5 Total positive response for 16 hotels: 9 from Central and 6 hotels from South. Total respondents from Central for 375 and 341

from South. Total Number 716.

1.6 After excluding questionnaires with missing data on some of the important variables and removing outliers, data from a

sample of 705 was usable for analysis.

1.7 Data Collection Strategy – such the researcher has provided the gift for participates for appreciation after complete the

surveys

1.8 Please ensure that you provide reference to support the statement ; this is important.

2. Please write “Instrument Translation” topic.

2.1 Example is provided and majority of target is Chinese. However the questionnaire has provided in both Chinese and English.

1.Quantitative Research Designs

In order to find the best information on a topic, not only should you develop a question and search for resources, but you should also know how to analyze the value of the resources that you identify. There are different ways to evaluate resources, such as using the hierarchy of evidence, which you explored in Week 4 of this course. Another way to evaluate resources is to consider the appropriateness of the research design. Understanding how research designs contribute to the quality of a study is essential for being able to analyze resources when conducting a literature review or locating evidence for practice.

In this Discussion, you consider the different research designs and evaluate how these designs have been used to research a specific topic. You also consider strategies for selecting an appropriate research design.

To prepare:

· Review the information in the course text on quantitative research designs. Focus on the information on, “Guidelines for Critiquing Research Designs in Quantitative Studies”.

· Select a topic from the list below and search the Walden Library to find two different quantitative research studies addressing that issue:

o Caregiver stress

o Anxiety in children

o Sleep apnea

o Depression in college freshmen

o Rural health care issues

o Post-traumatic stress syndrome

o Traumatic brain injury in veterans

o Health effects of environmental contaminants

o Bipolar disorder

o End-of-life ethical issues

o Alternative medicine

· For each of the sources that you select, identify the type of quantitative research design used, and evaluate whether it is the most appropriate approach to the research.

· Consider the ramifications of choosing an inappropriate design for a research study.

Question 4 (Learning Outcome Three)
Contract – short answers

Scenario
After graduating with a diploma, Joseph began working at his local café. After a few years of work at the local café, Joseph got to know the ins and outs

of day-to-day running and operation. Together with some savings from over the years, Joseph asked his father for a loan of $50,000 so that he could open

his own café. Joseph’s father agreed, subject to them recording the agreement for repayment of the $50,000 upon demand in writing, to avoid any unnecessary

family dispute in the future. Joseph agreed and the two recorded their agreement in writing.

Joseph then searched for a paper towels supplier online. As it was his first time doing business on his own, Joseph was extremely cautious and did not want

to get himself into trouble. Joseph made a few phone calls and compared prices between a few different suppliers. In the end, only Andrew (a paper towel

supplier) agreed to supply paper towels subject to a clause in their agreement confirming that “this is not a legal document and shall not be enforceable

in the Courts”.

Joseph’s business started off making a modest profit, but took a down turn when the seasons changed. Despite Joseph’s previous experience working at his

local café, he had miscalculated the amount of expected revenue and did not have enough funds to carry the business through winter. Joseph told his father

and Andrew that he had to close the café business and intended to go back into employment at his local café. Andrew has a running account with Joseph

issued on a monthly basis, and at that stage was owed for the past 3 months. Joseph’s father and Andrew are both concerned with.

Worldwide Advertising, Inc. (WAI), a new advertising firm, has hired you as an IT consultant. WAI is
currently hiring staff and establishing two locations, and they also have a need to get their internal IT
services configured. The firm does not yet have an IT staff, but when they do, that staff will take over all
aspects of IT administration.
You are required to supply WAI with a solution that describes the implementation and configuration of
their core IT services. The cost of the implementation is not expected to exceed the company’s budget,
so it does not have to be considered in this solution. WAI wants to implement a solution that will meet
the company’s needs for the next two to three years.
There are several details about WAI that will have an impact on your choices:
1. WAI will start with 300 employees in the following departments:
a. Executives (10 employees) – Manage and run the company
b. Accounts and Sales Department (150 employees) – Perform market research and maintain
accounts
c. Creative, Media, and Production Department (100 employees) – Advertising
d. Human Resources and Finances (30 employees) – Perform HR and financial duties
e. IT (10 employees) – Manage IT for the company
2. WAI will have two sites, one in Los Angeles and one in New York. Most staff will be located in
Los Angeles, with at least one person from each of the departments above located in New York
City.
3. Networking equipment is already in place for both sites. A secure tunnel (using IPSec) will be
established between the two sites so that inter‐site traffic can be securely tunneled over the
internet. You may make whatever other assumptions you wish about intra‐ and inter‐site
connectivity.
4. Security mechanisms (e.g., firewalls, intrusion detection) will be handled separately, and there is
no need to describe them.
5. Some departments will want their data to remain private from other departments (e.g.,
Finances personnel will not want Production staff to see the company’s financial details). Your
team may make assumptions about how data should be shared or kept private.
6. Assumptions can be made regarding any information not included here; however, all
assumptions should be identified.

 

Know “Oedipus the King” and its sequel “Antigone” by Sophocles.

– After you have read both plays, provide three (3) full pages of discussion specifically on the personal characteristics of Oedipus in Oedipus the

King and Creon in Antigone (NOT Creon in Oedipus the King) that lead to each character’s downfall. Include an equal amount of discussion on both

characters as well as both literary works. The length of your paper should be three (3) full pages with DOUBLE SPACING.

– In addition to your discussion on Oedipus in Oedipus the King and Creon in Antigone, select one point of criticism on each of the two characters from

each source (to be posted soon) for this assignment. This means you must include a total of four (4) points of criticism. You MUST PARAPHRASE the

information you borrow from the two sources. DO NOT QUOTE FROM THE CRITICAL SOURCES.
Include PARENTHETICAL DOCUMENTATION along with each of your four points of criticism. This ensures that the author of each borrowed idea will receive

credit for his or her idea(s).
You may use Purdue OWL: MLA Formatting and Style Guide (online guide) to correctly document the sources in your paper. Right click below to access this

source.

Include title(s) and author(s) in the introduction.
The thesis must be the last sentence in your introduction.
Your topic sentence must be the first sentence in each body paragraph.
Include a minimum of 7-8 well-structured sentences in the introduction and in each body paragraph.
Include a minimum of three (3) sentences in the conclusion.
Use Times New Roman with 12 font size.

 

 

Please use this information to formulate the essay

Learning outcomes – these must be addressed
1. Demonstrate detailed knowledge and critical understanding of theories and
frameworks of clinical decision-making that will support clinical judgement in
practice

2. Demonstrate advanced knowledge and skills in the management of uncertainty
and the application of reasoning in the assessment and management of care.

3. Critically examine and synthesise the legal, professional and ethical dimensions
of applying clinical judgement and decision making in practice

4. Critically evaluate ways in which evidenced based practice will support clinical
judgment and clinical decision-making.

5. Critically appraise the use of problem solving strategies in the use of clinical
judgement and decision-making in practice

Assignment – details of how I would like the essay formed
You are required to submit a 3500 word essay which should highlight your
achievement of all of the learning outcomes 1 to 5 of this module. This will be in the
form of a case study. The essay can be split into sections using the 5 learning
outcomes as subheadings if you wish, within each section you should demonstrate
knowledge and understanding of the theories relating to the learning outcome.
You will need to critically analyze the theories and relate them to your practice,
referring to the case study as you discuss each aspect.
If you wish, you may choose to include some of the more descriptive aspects of the
case study as an appendix to the essay, preserving the word count in your main body
for discussion and analysis of the case and making reference to them throughout the
assignment discussion.

Suggested Format
Introduction
The essay should commence with an introduction, which explains to the reader the
purpose of the essay and the topics to be covered. Outline to the reader in a concise
way how you will address the outcomes – The essay should be written in the third
person, so begin with This essay will……
Introduce your case study to the reader, ensuring that confidentiality is maintained
through including a reference to consent and confidentiality.

Main body
After writing your introduction, you need to critically discuss and analyse the theories
and frameworks which are within each learning outcome to demonstrate your
knowledge and understanding of these. This is where you will be awarded most of
your marks and you should use the majority of your word count. Remember that each
learning outcome is of equal weighting in the marking of the work.
You also need to link your own clinical practice to the theory you have learned, so you
will need to make reference to your case study throughout the assignment to
demonstrate using the theories in your practice. .
Consider in your discussion that each of the following learning outcomes must be
addressed:
1. Develop knowledge and critical understanding of theories and
frameworks of clinical decision-making that will support clinical judgment in
practice
To meet this LO you need to define clinical judgment and clinical decision making and
critically analyze the theories and what are relevant to you. Your case study should
incorporate and demonstrate clinical decisions you have made and how the theories
relate.

2. Enhance your knowledge and skills in the management of uncertainty and
the application of reasoning in the assessment and management of care.
Discuss assessment theories and tools, what uncertainties existed in this case? How
do you manage uncertainty? What tools did you utilize to justify your decisions and
ensure your patient was safe? For example safety netting, appropriate referral on
using SBAR tool

3. Critically examine the legal, professional and ethical dimensions of
applying clinical judgment and decision making in practice.
What are the legal, professional and ethical issues that support or hinder your
practice? Refer to the law and your code of practice. You may wish to consider
whether you were able to manage this case within your own scope of practice or when might recognise when a case is outside your scope? Issues such

as competence
and accountability need to be considered.

4. Critically evaluate ways in which evidenced based practice will support
clinical judgment and clinical decision-making.
Define and discuss evidence based practice, what resources did you utilize to support
your practice and therefore your decisions and judgments.
Did you refer to any specific evidence guidelines when managing this patient?

5. Critically reflect on the use of problem solving strategies in the use of
clinical judgment and decision-making in practice
Define and discuss problem solving models. You could compare and contrast a
couple. How did they support your practice? Within the case study demonstrate their
application.

Conclusion and action plan
The conclusion should incorporate some elements of learning outcome 5 as you
critically reflect on your case study and the strategies you used and an evaluation of
their effectiveness. Your conclusion should be more than just a summary of the essay.
It should be a good end to your piece of writing, emphasizing or reinforcing your main
ideas, but restating them in a new way and avoiding using the same language as in
your essay.
