For this assignment, use the information and knowledge you gathered in writing your nursing issues paper in Unit 2 and your policy boundaries paper in Unit 5. This helps to provide an analysis of the current policy, which directs care around your selected nursing or health care issue.

• Write a 3–5 page policy analysis paper. Remember that policy can be formed from legislation, executive orders, court decisions, and governmental or professional regulations.
• Apply the ethics of care analysis framework and consider:
  • How attentive is the policy to the needs of health care consumers? Is health care accessible, affordable, and appropriate?
  • Who is responsible for ensuring that care is delivered to those in need? In what ways do they meet this responsibility? In what ways do they fall short?
  • How competent is the system of care that is responsible for the delivery of care on all levels, from individual staff to administration?
  • How responsive is the system of care to those in need of care? Is the system more responsive to some than others? Who gets left out?
  • What are the consequences of this policy in terms of quality of care and access to care? Who suffers and in what ways?
  • How well does the policy reflect nursing’s values of caring, collaboration, collectivity, and high-touch care?
  • How well does the policy reflect the ethics of care philosophy and principles?
  • What are the power relations between those in need of care and those providing care (both the institutions and its individual members)? How empowering is the policy for patients, for nursing care providers, and for institutions in the health care system?
  • To what extent does the policy support the provision of comprehensive care? To what extent does it fragment care?
  • What challenges to care or gaps in care does this policy present?
  • What ethical issues does this policy raise in the delivery of care, and in the maintenance or creation of health disparities?
• Cite a minimum of three peer-reviewed sources with the majority being peer-reviewed sources. Be sure to find and use policy evaluation studies in addition to other empirical research to support your analysis.
• Your reference list should be appropriate to the body of literature available on this topic that has been published in the past five years.
• Use APA style and formatting throughout your paper and when citing your sources.

When you wake in the morning, you may reach for your cell phone to reply to a few text or email messages that you missed overnight. On your drive to work, you may stop to refuel your car. Upon your arrival, you might swipe a key card at the door to gain entrance to the facility. And before finally reaching your workstation, you may stop by the cafeteria to purchase a coffee. 

From the moment you wake, you are in fact a data-generation machine. Each use of your phone, every transaction you make using a debit or credit card, even your entrance to your place of work, creates data. It begs the question: How much data do you generate each day? Many studies have been conducted on this, and the numbers are staggering: Estimates suggest that nearly 1 million bytes of data are generated every second for every person on earth.

As the volume of data increases, information professionals have looked for ways to use big data—large, complex sets of data that require specialized approaches to use effectively. Big data has the potential for significant rewards—and significant risks—to healthcare. In this Discussion, you will consider these risks and rewards.

To Prepare:

• Review the Resources and reflect on the web article Big Data Means Big Potential, Challenges for Nurse Execs. 
• Reflect on your own experience with complex health information access and management and consider potential challenges and risks you may have experienced or observed.

It has to be three resources:

Post a description of at least one potential benefit of using big data as part of a clinical system and explain why. Then, describe at least one potential challenge or risk of using big data as part of a clinical system and explain why. Propose at least one strategy you have experienced, observed, or researched that may effectively mitigate the challenges or risks of using big data you described. Be specific and provide examples.

Ann, a community nurse, made an afternoon home visit with Susan and her father. After the death of her mother, Susan had growing concerns about her father living alone. “I worry about my father all the time. He is becoming more forgetful and he has trouble seeing. Mom used to take care of him. I am not sleeping and I am irritable around him. Yesterday I shouted at him because he wouldn’t let me help him with his laundry. I felt terrible! I am at my wits’ end! My brothers and sisters do not want to put dad in a nursing home but they are not willing to help out. As usual, they have left me with all the responsibility. I work part time and have two small children to care for.” Susan’s father, Sam, sat quietly with tears filling his eyes. He was well nourished and well-groomed but would not make eye contact. Nurse Ann noticed that the house was clean and orderly. A tray in front of the TV had the remains of a ham sandwich and glass of ice tea. Mail was piled up, unopened on a small table near the front door. There was only one car in the driveway and the yard was in need of attention.

1. What questions does Orlando’s theory guide the nurse to consider in caring for Susan and Sam?
2. Develop a family plan of care from the perspective of Orlando.

Explore the 1950 and 60’s in the United States:

1. Explore was happening in the United States during this time (culture, social, economics, struggles)
2. What did nursing look like during this time (what were their jobs like, responsibilities, dress, autonomy, respect)
3. What is the most influential accomplishment in nursing theory from the 1950’s and 1960’s?

Power Point should include at least 4 outside references and the textbook. It should include title and reference slides and be 15 slides

Quantitative Research Designs

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 texton quantitative research designs. Focus on the information in Box 9.1, “Guidelines for Critiquing Research Designs in Quantitative Studies” located on page 230 of the course text.
• Select a topic from the list below and search the Walden Library to find two different quantitative research studies addressing that issue:

• Caregiver stress
• Anxiety in children
• Sleep apnea
• Depression in college freshmen
• Rural health care issues
• Post-traumatic stress syndrome
• Traumatic brain injury in veterans
• Health effects of environmental contaminants
• Bipolar disorder
• End-of-life ethical issues
• Alternative medicine

Post  (1) the topic you selected,  references for the two sources you identified, and the quantitative research design used in each. (2) Critique the appropriateness of the design used and justify your comments with information from the Learning Resources. (3) Discuss the ramifications of choosing an inappropriate design for a research study.
