Assignment 2: Research Proposal

Overview/Description: The final project for NSG6101 consists of the development of a novel research proposal specific to your role specialization. The project must include an intervention appropriate to nursing practice and consistent with your MSN role option. An alternative to the above includes the selection of a specialty organization to focus research proposals based on the priorities of that organization.

·       Decision-making support tools (CO4, CO8)

·       Patient education technology (CO5, CO8)

·       Data integrity, legal and ethical implications (CO7, CO8)

Directions

1.     You are to research, analyze, and write an APA-formatted scholarly paper about the topic that you have selected.

2.     Write an introduction that defines and describes the topic. Address what purpose the topic serves and how it impacts the delivery of healthcare in general, and nursing care in particular. Keep in mind that APA guidelines state you are not to use the heading of “Introduction,” but you should include it at the beginning of your paper.

3.     Search for scholarly sources and relevant websites. Include a minimum of two scholarly sources. The course textbook does not qualify as a scholarly source. Cite all sources in the body of the paper and include them in the References list following proper APA formatting.

4.     Provide one example of this topic. Describe the main features or aspects of the example with support from your sources.

5.     Describe an experience where the topic impacted you personally, either when you were receiving health care, or when you were providing nursing care. Relate one positive aspect or one negative aspect of this experience and how it could have been improved.

6.     Write a conclusion that summarizes the topic, purpose and how your newfound insight will influence your nursing care.

7.     Use Microsoft Word to develop your paper. Use APA formatting. Refer to the Publication manual of the APA, 6th edition. Review the various APA documents included in this course and the Chamberlain Care Student Success Strategies (CCSSS) that can help you with your writing. Take advantage of the tutoring service, Smarthinking, which is linked from Tutor Source under the Course Home tab.

8.     The length of the paper should be a maximum of 4–5 pages, excluding the title page and the reference page. There should only be one small quote maximum in the paper.  Citations should primarily include summary and restatement.

Assignment 3: Quantitative Annotated Bibliography

Hi, are you able to complete the assignment below by tonight at 8:00 pm? Thanks

Assignment 3: Quantitative Annotated Bibliography

In this week’s discussion question you were asked to consider a potential problem (HEART DISEASE) that you would like to investigate through nursing research. For this assignment you will review current research from South’s Online Library and provide a critical evaluation on that research through an annotated bibliography. An annotated bibliography is a brief summary and analysis of the journal article reviewed. For more information on annotated bibliographies please visit Purdue’s OWL: https://owl.english.purdue.edu/owl/resource/614/01/

A total of four annotated bibliographiesare to be submitted (not to exceed one page each). The articles must come from nursing scholarly literature and may not be older than 5 years since publication. Please note that the articles must be research based and reflect a quantitative methodology (review our reading assignments). Web pages, magazines, textbooks, and other books are not acceptable.  Each annotation must address the following critical elements:

• Explanation of the main purpose and scope of the cited work
• Brief description of the research conducted
• Value and significance of the work (e.g., study’s findings, scope of the research project) as a contribution to the subject under consideration
• Possible shortcomings or bias in the work
• Conclusions or observations reached by the author
• Summary as to why this research lends evidence to support the potential problem identified specific to your role option.

Please review this paper and make sure there is no grammar error, please. Please return by tomorrow morning 9 AM.  These were the instructions:For this assignment, submit your introduction.Important

Please review this paper and make sure there is no grammar error, please. Please return by tomorrow morning 9 AM. 

These were the instructions:

For this assignment, submit your introduction.

Important components to include in the assignment are:

• Purpose of or rationale for the scholarly project: Provide an evidence-based explanation of why it is necessary to complete your scholarly project and what benefit will be gained (health promotion, fiscal, and efficiency).
• Background on the problem or population of interest: Using primary sources, provide data on your topic. Providing the background will demonstrate the focused need for your project.
• Significance of the problem to nursing and healthcare: State how your problem or population of interest aligns with the larger interest of healthcare in the community. Create a context to why your topic is important.
• Benefit of the project to nursing practice: State what will be gained from your project. Describe the expected outcomes of your project to practice within your population and setting. Relate the outcomes to evidence-based guidelines and outcomes. Describe how your project may influence other populations or settings.

·         PICOT question: State what specific issue or question your work will address. Very briefly (this is still the introduction), say how you will approach the work. What will others learn from your work?

·         Scope of the project: State the scope of your project. What are the project’s objectives, goals, tasks, and resources necessary for your work? Note that much of your scope will be preliminary at this phase of your work.
