Indicate whether the price and the quantity variances are favorable or unfavorable for March. Optional Can you compute how the $3,228,900 actual overhead costs and the $3,250,000 budgeted overhead costs were calculated? #’ Assignment Exercise 17-1: Variance Analysis Greenview Hospital operated at 120% of normal capacity in two of its departments during the year. It operated 120% times 20,000 normal capacity direct labor nursing hours in routine services and it operated 120% times 20,000 normal capacity equipment hours in the laboratory. The lab allocates overhead by measuring minutes and hours the equipment is used; thus equipment hours. Assumptions: For Routine Services Nursing: • 20,000 hours X 120% = 24,000 direct labor nursing hours. • Budgeted Overhead at 24,000 hours = $42,000 fixed plus $6,000 variable = $48,000 total. • Actual Overhead at 24,000 hours = $42,000 fixed plus $7,000 variable = $49,000 total. • Applied Overhead for 24,000 hours at $2.35 = $56,400. For Laboratory: • 20,000 hours X 120% = 24,000 equipment hours. • Budgeted Overhead at 24,000 hours = $59,600 fixed plus $11,400 variable = $71,000 total. • Actual Overhead at 24,000 hours = $59,600 fixed plus $11,600 variable = $71,200 total. • Applied Overhead for 24,000 hours at $3.455 = $82,920. Required 1. Set up a worksheet for applied overhead costs and volume variance with a column for Routine Services Nursing and a second column for Laboratory. 2. Set up a worksheet for actual overhead costs and budget variance with a column for Routine Services Nursing and a second column for Laboratory. 3. Set up a worksheet for volume variance and budget variance totaling net variance with a column for Routine Services Nursing and a second column for Laboratory. 4. Insert input data from Assumptions. 5. Complete computations for all three worksheets. Example 17B Reviewthe “SensitivityAnalysisOverview” section and Figure 17-5in Chapter 17. Chapter 17 395 !f..Assignment Exercise 17-2: Three-Level Revenue Forecast Three eye-ear-nose-and-throat physicians decide to hire an experienced audiologist in order to add a new service line to their practice. * They ask the practice manager to prepare a three-level volume forecast as a first step in their decision-making. Assumptions: for the base level (most likely) revenue forecast, assume $200 per procedure times four procedures per day times five days equals 20 procedures per week times 50 weeks per year equals 1,000 potential procedures per year. For the best case revenue forecast, assume an increase in volume of one procedure per day average, for an annual increase of 250 procedures (5 days per week times 50 weeks equals 250). (The best case is if the practice gains a particular managed care contract.) For the worst case revenue forecast, assume a decrease in volume of two procedures per day average, for an annual decrease of 500 procedures. (The worst case is if the practice loses a major payer.) *Audiologists were designated as “eligible for physician and other prescriber incentives” as discussed in Chapter 20. Thus the new service line was a logical move. Required Using the above assumptions, prepare a three-level forecast similar to the example in Figure 17-5 and document your calculations. Practice Exercise 17-11 Closely study the chapter text concerning target operating income. The necessary inputs for target operating income include the following: • Desired (target) operating income amount = $20,000 • Unit price for sales = $500 • Variable cost per unit = $300 • Total fixed cost = $10,000 Compute the required revenue to achieve the target operating income and compute a contribution income statement to prove the totals. -psSignment Exercise 17-3: Target Operating Income Acme Medical Supply Company desires a target operating income amount of $100,000, with assumption inputs as follows: • Desired (target) operating income amount = $100,000 • Unit price for sales = $80 • Variable cost per unit = $60 • Total fixed cost = $60,000 Compute the required revenue to achieve the target operating income and compute a contribution income statement to prove the totals.

1 answer below »Please give this work to Dr Vidhya Bhushan Mishra

The RN to BSN program at Grand Canyon University meets the requirements for clinical competencies as defined by CCNE and AACN using nontraditional experiences for practicing nurses. These experiences come in the form of direct and indirect care experiences in which licensed nursing students engage in learning within the context of their hospital organization, their specific care discipline, and their local communities.

As the country focuses on the restructuring of the U.S. health care delivery system, nurses will continue to play an important role. It is expected that more and more nursing jobs will become available out in the community, and fewer will be available in acute care hospitals.

  1. Write an informal presentation (500 words) to educate nurses about how the practice of nursing is expected to grow and change. Include the concepts of continuity or continuum of care, accountable care organizations (ACO), medical homes, and nurse-managed health clinics.
  2. Share your presentation with nurse colleagues on your unit or department and ask them to offer their impressions of the anticipated changes to health care delivery and the new role of nurses in hospital settings, communities, clinics, and medical homes.
  3. In 800 words summarize the feedback shared by three nurse colleagues and discuss whether their impressions are consistent with what you have researched about health reform.
  4. A minimum of three scholarly references are required for this assignment.

In addition to submitting this assignment in the LoudCloud dropbox, e-mail a copy of your submission to RNBSNclientcare@gcu.edu.

Nursing : Patient’s right for privacy… 

1 answer below »

This is a Nursing paper. I am attaching a word document with all explanations.

Please write 6 pages in favor of patient’s right for privacy (communication/records/media)

  • Please mention “AB 1671-Gomez” and HIPPA acts and patient’s privacy.
  • The assignment is about nursing leadership; the leader nurse should be able to make sure that patient is satisfied and safe regarding the information and communication privacy; the nurse not only as a leader but also as patient’s advocate should be responsible to follow HIPPA and (AB 1671-Gomez);
  • please use 2 legal and or evidence-based practices supporting the subject (links are attached below)
  • There should be 10 references.

</fontcolor=”#000000″>

Please use the following information to complete the assignment. I as a cancer patient, when going through chemotherapy in an outpatient clinic (in a room with multiple beds), can hear the other patient’s condition and other patients can hear my private information in a room with multiple beds. I believe a serious condition like cancer should be treated at a private room, because the patients should not have the fear of sharing private information if they do not want to. The patient is under huge pressure of the disease, treatment and sometimes bad prognosis; he/she should not be in a situation or environment that keeping privacy is impossible. Please add information about the nursing leadership responsibilities related to this subject. Please add how a leader nurse can help patient to keep their privacy. Please use the links below for the paper.

1 answer below »

For the Course Project, you identify and apply relevant research to a specific nursing topic or problem. You begin by formulating an answerable question that is relevant to nursing and evidence-based practice. In later weeks of this course, you continue the Course Project by conducting a literature review and then determining how the evidence from the literature can be applied to nursing practice.

Before you begin, review the Course Project Overview document located in this week’s Learning Resources.

Note: This Course Project will serve as the Portfolio Assignment for the course. In addition to submitting portions of this Project in Weeks 2 and 5, you will turn in all three deliverables in Week 10.

Course Project: Part 1—Identifying a Researchable Problem

One of the most challenging aspects of EBP is to actually identify the answerable question.

—Karen Sue Davies

Formulating a question that targets the goal of your research is a challenging but essential task. The question plays a crucial role in all other aspects of the research, including the determination of the research design and theoretical perspective to be applied, which data will be collected, and which tools will be used for analysis. It is therefore essential to take the time to ensure that the research question addresses what you actually want to study. Doing so will increase your likelihood of obtaining meaningful results.

In this first component of the Course Project, you formulate questions to address a particular nursing issue or problem. You use the PICOT model—patient/population, intervention/issue, comparison, and outcome—outlined in the Learning Resources to design your questions.

To prepare:

  • Review the article, “Formulating the Evidence Based Practice Question: A Review of the Frameworks,” found in the Learning Resources for this week. Focus on the PICOT model for guiding the development of research questions.
  • Review the section beginning on page 71 of the course text, titled, “Developing and Refining Research Problems” in the course text, which focuses on analyzing the feasibility of a research problem.
  • Reflect on an issue or problem that you have noticed in your nursing practice. Consider the significance of this issue or problem.
  • Generate at least five questions that relate to the issue which you have identified. Use the criteria in your course text to select one question that would be most appropriate in terms of significance, feasibility, and interest. Be prepared to explain your rationale.
  • Formulate a preliminary PICO question—one that is answerable—based on your analysis. What are the PICO variables (patient/population, intervention/issue, comparison, and outcome) for this question?
  • Using the PICOT variables that you determined for your question, develop a list of at least 10 keywords that could be used when conducting a literature search to investigate current research pertaining to the question.

To complete:

Write a 3- to 4-page paper that includes the following:

  • A summary of your area of interest, an identification of the problem that you have selected, and an explanation of the significance of this problem for nursing practice
  • The 5 questions you have generated and a description of how you analyzed them for feasibility
  • Your preliminary PICOT question and a description of each PICOT variable relevant to your question
  • At least 10 possible keywords that could be used when conducting a literature search for your PICOT question and a rationale for your selections

By Day 7

Submit your Project. It will also be a component of your Portfolio Assignment for this course, which is due by Day 7 of Week 10.

NU 560 Research Methods and Evidence-Based Practice

Week 1 Discussion

DQ1 Healthcare is changing rapidly and ideas and methods that had value in the past need to be re-evaluated as we move towards healthcare reform, integrate evidence-based practice and/or best practices and work towards achieving positive patient outcomes and educate nurses who will be prepared to practice in this ever changing health care environment. Recall a situation when you were asked to perform a specific intervention and/or practice idea based on authority or tradition. Describe the the intervention or practice. Based on your knowledge of evidence-based practice, does this practice still hold value now? Use an Evidence-Based Guideline or nursing specialty organization Standard of Practice to support your answer.

DQ 2 According to the American Association of Colleges of Nursing the Masters prepared nurse ” Recognizes that the master’s-prepared nurse applies research outcomes within the practice setting, resolves practice problems, works as a change agent, and disseminates results.” Many research ideas emerge from practice and/or the educational environment.Formulating a well-built research question is challenging. Asking the right question facilitates the search process when conducting a review of the literature. Read the article “Asking the clinical question: A key step in evidence-based practice found in the supplemental activities folder and review the slide presentation included in this unit. After reading the article and reviewing the slide presentation use the PICOT framework and practice creating a PICOT question. Create a PICOT question for a quantitative study and a PICOT question for a qualitative study that relate to your area of interest. Obtain an Evidence-Based Guideline (EBG), Standard of Practice, or Best practice in nursing education that pertains to your question. In responding to your colleagues’ postings offer alternative questions and rationales for your suggestions.

NU 560 Research Methods and Evidence-Based Practice

Week 2 Discussion

DQ1 Review the slide presentation on reliability, validity and trustworthiness. Describe the scientific rigor associated with quantitative and qualitative research and the importance of reliability, validity in quantitative research, and trustworthiness in qualitative research. What are the differences among these concepts? Discuss types of validity and reliability and the components of trustworthiness. Provide some suggestions that will improve them when conducting quantitative and qualitative research studies.

DQ2 How do the sampling methods and sample sizes vary for the different types of quantitative and qualitative research? Using your research questions (qualitative and quantitative), what sampling method would you use to conduct your study? Why? How would you determine the sample type and size?

NU 560 Research Methods and Evidence-Based Practice

Week 3 Discussion

DQ1 Locate a research study (2012 or later) on your topic of interest. Review the participants, procedures (methods section) of the article. Utilize the analysis questions below to guide your review of the overall risk/ benefits ratio. Be sure to provide a link to your article on the discussion board for your classmates(post your response to message box and attach a PDF file of artcile to this discussion board).

Do you think the benefits of this research outweighed the costs to participants-what is the overall risk/benefit ratio?

Does the report indicate that the study procedures were reviewed by an IRB or other similar institutional ethical review committee?

Would the participants in this study be considered “vulnerable”?

Were participants subjected to any physical harm or discomfort or psychological distress as part of the study? What efforts did the researchers make to minimize harm and maximize good?

Were participants deceived in any way?

Were participants coerced into participating in the study?

Were appropriate informed consent procedures used?

Was there full disclosure, and was participation voluntary?

Does the report discuss steps that were taken to protect the privacy and confidentiality of study participant?

DQ2 Adhering to ethical principles and protection of human subjects are important considerations in all forms of research. How stringent or similar should these ethical principles be to the standards placed on the conduction of clinical and/or educational research? Offer examples where controversy exists regarding application of ethical principles in evidence-based practice projects, best practices in education versus clinical research? Be sure to address HIPAA and FERPA depending on your focus – clinical practice vs academic education.

NU 560 Research Methods and Evidence-Based Practice

Week 4 Discussion

DQ1 The literature review is key to any research study or article development. It is important to review the literature within your own discipline, but also other disciplines which may confront similar issues or have related concerns. For example, practice issues in other health related fields often correspond to those confronted in nursing. Nursing education concerns may also be found in academic research within other disciplines outside of the health care field. What is the purpose of conducting an organized literature review? How will you approach this aspect of your research? What literature other than nursing literature do you feel may offer useful information? How might you incorporate these ideas into your proposal?

DQ2 Critical appraisals are used to broaden understanding and summarize evidence. This helps determine if research evidence is ready for practice. There are certain steps to conducting critical appraisals. Locate a scholarly journals article(s) and apply the steps of critical analysis found in your textbook.

NU 560 Research Methods and Evidence-Based Practice

Week 5 Discussion

DQ1 Select one of the Models presented in this unit. Describe how this model would be effective for implementing EBP and/or Best practices in the practice, administration, or education setting. Consider how you might introduce this change. What barriers might you confront?

DQ2 According to Porter O’Gradey and Malloch (2015), “In the twentieth century the focus of work was on performing the right processes. In the twenty-first-century the focus is on obtaining the right outcomes” (p. 4). The purpose of using evidence to guide practice is to promote positive outcomes. How do you see yourself as a change agent guiding others to move from a process focus to an outcomes focus? Discuss this in relationship to your area of concentration – practice and/or education. Elaborate the rationale behind the change from process to outcomes.

NU 560 Research Methods and Evidence-Based Practice

Week 6 Discussion

DQ1 Obtaining grants is an important aspect of research and provides funding for various projects that promote better patient outcomes and/or better educational outcomes. Based on your area of interest, conduct a search for possible grants that may be available to assist in funding your research idea and/or project. Describe your search strategy and discuss how you might go about applying for this grant.

DQ2 What is an “RFP?” How do you go about completing and submitting an RFP? Discuss the criteria for the RFP in the grant you selected for Week 6 DB#1.

NU 560 Research Methods and Evidence-Based Practice

Week 7 Discussion

DQ1 Read the article by Aiken and associates. She has been exploring the topic of patient safety for a number of years and has been applying her research findings across international boundaries. Consider your topic of interest and the purpose for exploring this topic. What outcomes would you like to see emerge from this? How would you measure these outcomes? Include in your discussion an analysis of how Aiken measured her selected outcomes.

DQ2 Part I

Present your Final Research proposal PPT presentation to this discussion forum. The PPT needs to include your voice. You may do a voice over PPT presentation or use screen cast o matic for your presentation. Here is the link to the free version: https://screencast-o-matic.com/home. This presentation also needs to be submitted through the submission link for grading.

A Review on How to Access and Implement AHRQ's Evidence-Based Resources to Inform your Clinical Practice

Presenter: Sharon T. Constans, RN, MSN, Director, Hayes CARE and Managing Editor, Search & Summary, Hayes, Inc.

Nurse practitioners (NPs) and other advanced practice registered nurses (APRNs) are leading providers of health care services in the United States and will play an increasingly prominent role in patient care as access expands. NPs can play an important role in promoting evidence-based preventive health practices by, for example, incorporating recommendations from the United States Preventive Services Task Force (USPSTF) into clinical practice. AHRQ has incorporated USPSTF recommendations into the Electronic Preventive Services Selector (ePSS), which is a user-friendly evidence-based decision support tool designed for mobile technology. In addition, AHRQ has a number of other resources, such as the Effective Health Care (EHC) Program, which are designed to provide clinicians with current evidence on a wide variety of tests and treatments.

The purpose of this Webinar is to provide an overview of AHRQs evidence-based publicly available tools and resources to inform clinical practice.

View Course Content: Click Here

Target Audience: Advanced Practice Registered Nurses

Overall Learning Purpose/Goal:

This webinar aims to promote the value of, and inform participants about, the AHRQ evidence-based resources available to NPs, including the Electronic Preventive Services Selector (ePSS) tool and Effective Health Care (EHC) Program resources, and to offer participants techniques to use these resources in their daily practice to support clinical decisionmaking and to improve quality of care.

Learning Objectives:

At the conclusion of this activity, participants will be able to:

Describe the 5 major steps in conducting a systematic review.

List the evidence-based resources available on the AHRQ Web site, including those available through the EHC Program.

Locate the resources available on the USPSTF Web site, including the ePSS tool.

Introduction to topic Paper

This assignment is the first step in completing the final paper on a researchable topic in either nursing practice or nursing education. You will use this topic to guide the ethics topic assignment in Unit 3, the literature review in Unit 4 and the completed paper in Unit 6. . The purpose of the paper is to explore a clinical evidence based practice and/or best practices in nursing education. This paper will be completed in three steps: Step 1, the question you seek to answer; Step 2: A literature review; and Step 3: A final synthesis and analysis of what you discovered and areas open for further research. Please use AHRQ , an organizational evidence-based standard and/or applicable education Best Practice to guide your topic development. The introduction gives some history of the topic, the reason is important to nursing practice and/or nursing education, and the conclusion summarizes the first two parts and then provides a brief introduction to the next section, the literature review.

This assignment requires proper APA format. This includes a title page, reference page, and proper headings. An abstract will only be included in your final paper. Write a 2-3-page paper (not including title page and reference page) addressing the following:

Background of a clinical practice problem or educational problem related to your practice. The PICO(T) format is used to organize research evidence to address clinical problems. You will use the PICO(T) question to identify relevant studies needed to develop evidenced based practice or best practices in nursing education.

Ethical considerations for Research topic investigation

This assignment requires proper APA format. This includes a title page, reference page, and proper headings. An abstract is not required. Write a 3-4 page paper (in addition to the title page and reference page) addressing the following:

Ethical considerations for the topic selected in Unit 1

Headings to include:

Best practices and/or evidence-based practice

Identify Risks

Address HIPAA and/or FERPA concerns

Informed Consent components.

Conclusion – this section should also incorporate principles and concepts from the Belmont Report that apply to your topic of study.

Literature Review

This is Part 2 of your topic development – The Literature Review for the research question you identified in Week 1.

This assignment requires proper APA format. This includes a title page, reference page, and proper headings. An abstract will only be included in your final paper. Write a 4-5-page paper (in addition to the title page and reference page) for your literature review:

Select appropriate sources of evidence to support your research topic and compose a literature review supporting your proposal. Include a discussion regarding your investigation and search for the literature to gain knowledge related to your proposal. Please use appropriate headings. Sources are to be within 3-5 years unless the study was the “Mother of all Studies.” This means the earlier study precipitated all the research that followed. If you should use an historical study, be sure to include how the subsequent research supported the original study and/or negated the findings creating evidence that initiated a change in practice or beliefs.

Final Paper – Research proposal development

This is the last written assignment for your research proposal. Please review previous assignments and make revisions as indicated by feedback provided. The previous assignments, discussion boards, and identification of evidence based clinical practice or best educational practive were necessary for you to start the process of developing a proposal for a research proposal. You are not conducting original research; you will only be developing a proposal for future research. You identified a model to promote EBP clinical research and/or Best practices in nursing education in last week's discussion board. Please use model to organize your final proposal. In addition, integrate the Part 1 PICO(T) paper, Part 2 Literature review and this Part 3 to synthesize your findings and draw conclusions. Include in Part 3 how you might apply for funding for this project. Please use the Proposal paper outline provided for you during the first week as a guide for your paper.

This assignment requires proper APA format. This includes a title page, reference page, and proper headings. An abstract is required for this final proposal. The Final EBPG proposal requires 15-20 pages in addition to the title page, abstract page, and reference page.

Annotated Bibliography Assignment Description: This Assignment has two parts to it: First, you will. 

Annotated Bibliography Assignment
Description:

This Assignment has two parts to it:

First, you will complete a set of readings.
Next, you will use those readings to complete an annotated bibliography.
Assignment Part 1, Readings:

As a graduate student, research is a focal point of your education; therefore, it is important for you to understand how to search for and to use only credible sources

in the variety of scholarly papers that you will be expected to write. You will begin this Assignment by reading about the kind of research sources you are expected to

use at this level of your education. Next, you will read about compiling an annotated bibliography, and then you will learn what a literature review is. It is

important that graduate students know the difference between a reference page, an annotated bibliography, and a literature review. Read the following three handouts

from the KU Writing Center before you go any further with this Assignment.

Writing a Literature Review. Retrieved from

https://kucampus.kaplan.edu/MyStudies/AcademicSupportCenter/WritingCenter/WritingReferenceLibrary/GraduateStudentWritingResource/WritingALiteratureReview.aspx

Assignment Part 2, Annotated Bibliography:

Your program culminates in a capstone project in MN 600 where you bring together what you have learned and present a project to the academic community. This Assignment

gives you the skills and knowledge to begin collecting credible information needed for future assignments and experience with APA citation by creating your own

annotated bibliography. As you read in the annotated bibliography handout, an annotated bibliography contains two main parts: bibliographic information (in APA format)

and an annotation. Annotations vary, and for this Assignment, your annotations should provide a:

Summary of the book, article, white paper, website, or other resource
Evaluation of resource. Is the source research related? If so, is it a qualitative or quantitative study or mixed?
Fully assess the sources and offer comments or criticisms of it. Is it a reliable source? Is the article current? Is this source scholarly or popular? Can this source

be used in a final paper?
Application to your program or future research
For your annotated bibliography, you will annotate 10 sources with at least five scholarly (peer-reviewed, evidence-based), three articles from professional and

credible websites (i.e., NIH, CDC, etc.), and the remaining two your personal choice, although still credible sources. The topic should be related to your program of

study (nursing education, nursing administration, nursing informatics, or advance nursing practice).

Assignment Part 3, Reflection:

After you have compiled your annotated bibliography, reflect on the sources you used for this Assignment. For example, consider the following questions.

What difficulties did you encounter when evaluating the credibility of your sources?
What questions do you have about the differences between a reference page, annotated bibliography, and a literature review?
When do you think it would be helpful or when do you think you will use a literature review in your graduate studies?
If you need help with putting your citations in correct APA format, the KU Writing Center has several resources you can use. The following resources below will help

you.
