    Qualitative Research Critique-Nursing

    The research design must include a nursing theory, the theory’s application to nursing, and identify outcomes impacted nursing practice.

    Assignment Criteria:

    For this assignment:

    Search the literature for one qualitative research study related to your area of research interest (i.e. non clinical or clinical practices).

    Make sure the article has a nursing theory, the theory has been applied to the nursing environment, and has impacted nursing practice.

    The article must be peer-reviewed articles within the last five years.

    Identify the study’s methodology (qualitative) to complete the framework grid from Polit & Beck (2017) textbook. ATTACHED TEMPLATE

    Only select one article that reflects the methodology required for this assignment.

    You should be able to find the article’s method under the article’s section entitled “methodology.â€

    You are required to critique one qualitative nursing research study (i.e. refer to Assignment Criteria #13 a).

    The article will be critiqued using the framework grid from Polit & Beck (2017) textbook-TEMPLATE ATTACHED-YOU MUST USE!

    Copy and paste the grid into a Word document. This will make it easy for you to add your typed comments into the grid.

    This is a critique assignment which focuses on the analysis or your scholarly perspective of the publication. Support your scholarly opinion only with references/citations if further explanation is needed. Use the comment section of the grid to write your comments and any additional citation(s). Each comment cited from another source to support your analysis or scholarly perspective of the critiqued article will require a citation (i.e. Campbell, 2016) in the comment section. Each citation must be documented on the reference page of the assignment (i.e. In accordance with the 6thedition APA Manual).

    Include the citation information associated with the one qualitative article used for this critique. The course faculty will retrieve the article for assignment review and grading

     

    Write a summary of how the research data/findings are related to the researcher’s recommendations. This is a one page summary separate from the framework grid from Polit & Beck (2017) textbook.

    Use APA format and appropriate level heading(s) (i.e. Level One and/or Level Two).

    Pathophysiology Reflection

    Entries should consist of a 1-page entry regarding this week’s topic.  Discuss the topic in terms of

    • How the content and assignments met the course objective(s).
    • Summarize the key learning points you experienced for the week.
    • Your understanding of pathophysiology as it applies to your current RN practice.
    • Struggles or successes that you had for the week in terms of the course content.  This is meant to be a reflection on the course content, and less of a reflection on your feelings.

    Companies choose their costing method based on their business activities and processes, as well as the products and services they offer. A company can be a manufacturing, merchandising, or service organization; this also impacts which costing method will be most useful for its purposes. As a part of costing, the company also needs to decide how to classify overhead costs using either traditional or activity-based costing (ABC).

    In this written assignment, you will choose a company, consider its business and costing requirements, and recommend a costing system that will work best for the business.

    Prompt

    Think about a company you know. This could be a current or past employer or a company you admire. Consider its business activities and the type of products and services offered. Based on what you have learned so far, write a short paper that reflects on the different costing methods and speculates on how they might apply to your selected company.

    Specifically, you must address the following rubric criteria:

    • Company Overview: Identify the company you selected and provide a brief overview of its business.
      • Is it a manufacturing, merchandising, or service organization?
    • Costing Methods: Compare the job order and process costing methods, and explain how each of these can be applied to the company.
      • How could the costs differ if one method is chosen over the other?
    • Factory Overhead: Outline possible indirect or overhead costs the company may need to account for, and identify the type of costing the company might use for these costs.
      • If the company decides to use activity-based costing (ABC), what are some activity bases (cost drivers) it might use to allocate these costs?
    • Recommendation: Based on your analysis, recommend a costing method for the company, and explain why you think this method will work best for the business.

    Speech Patterns

    Speech Patterns

    Objectives

    • Demonstrate effective use of organizational patterns
    • Describe standard practices and methods for creating engaging speech content

    Assignment Overview

    In this practice exercise, you will explore the importance of organizing the main ideas of a speech into a pattern.

    Deliverables

    A two-page (500-word) paper and answers to exercise questions (This is all you will submit, two pages, about 500 words. If it takes you slightly more pages, that is okay. No worries. But, you must have a minimum of 500 words.)

    Step 1 Write definitions for patterns of organization.

    In a two-page (500-word) paper, write a brief definition or description in your own words for each of the following patterns used to structure the flow of information in a speech: (This is for the first section of your paper that includes at least 500 words. Just write definitions for these patterns of organization. )

    • Topical Pattern
    • Chronological Pattern
    • Spatial Pattern
    • Causal Pattern
    • Monroe’s Motivated Sequence

    Step 2 Read the list below of statements about the topic of friendship.

    Determine which of the patterns of organization might be useful to create a logical flow of information for the statements. Select one pattern of organization to use to organize the statements. It can be one of the six that you defined in Step 2 or another one from any of the lesson materials or another source.(Choose just one pattern of organization for the topic of friendship as shown next to Step 2 in the directions. If I were you, I would choose one that you defined in the first part of this assignment, but you can go to the remaining ones from any lesson materials. If you choose one different from the six you defined, then be sure to define it for us in the beginnning. This is provided for you to organize outside the assignment. If you see below, you will see that you will submit it eventually, but first, you need to organize it per your choice of style.)

    Statements About Friendship*

    • We develop an acquaintanceship.
    • Friendship is an interpersonal relationship between two persons that is characterized by mutual positive regard.
    • We meet.
    • In order to understand friendships, we need to see what a friendship is and its stages of development.
    • Friendship is one of the most important of our interpersonal relationships.
    • We develop an intimate friendship.
    • Friendships develop through various stages.
    • Friendships don’t develop full blown but rather go through various stages-from the initial meeting to intimate friendship.
    • We develop a casual friendship.
    • By understanding friendship we will be in a better position to develop and maintain productive and enjoyable friendships.
    • Friendship-an interpersonal relationship characterized by mutual positive regard-is one of our most important assets.
    • We develop a close relationship.
    • Friendship is vital to all of us.

    *These statements are from the Organizing a Scrambled Outline activity on the Course Compass website

    Step 3 Arrange the statements about friendship.

    Arrange the statements to form a logical flow. Modify your arrangement as many times as needed to fit one of the organizational patterns you learned about in the lesson.(Here is where you take the statements about friendship shown above and organize them in the arrangement you chose. You may have to think about this for a bit to make sure you organize it correctly for your chosen style.)

    Step 4 Write the heading Introduction.

    On the top of a sheet of blank paper, write the heading Introduction. Determine which statements you would include in the speech introduction. Then fill in the rest of the components of an introduction. (This is the second part of the assignment. Just start it on another page with the heading as described here. Use the statements about friendship shown above and choose which ones would be the introduction.)

    Step 5 Write the heading Body.

    On the top of a second sheet of blank paper, write the heading Body. Determine which statements you would include in the body of the speech. (This is NOT a separate page unless you are out of room on. Begin Body heading and then choose the statements that go in that area.)

    Step 6 Write the heading Conclusion.

    On the top of a third sheet of blank paper, write the heading Conclusion. Determine which statements you would include in the conclusion of the speech. Then fill in the rest of the components of a conclusion. (You may need more pages since headings take up room. That is okay, just use another page and follow the directions here for the Conclusion area. Be sure you label each area.)

    Step 7 Enter the information.

    In your word processing document, enter the headings and associated statements. (This just means to get your work ready to submit.)

    Step 8 Answer the questions.

    • Which pattern of organization did you use to structure the flow of statements?
    • Are there any other patterns that you could have potentially used? If so, which one(s)? ( This would be the last paragraph or heading. So, write these questions and then respond to each one separately.) (You may have more pages than usual, but you will still have about 500 words or so. Just follow the directions for each section  and answer them fully. Do not get hung up on the word count.)
