Does caffeine cause cancer? Is autism caused by childhood immunizations? What is the relationship between eating sugary sweets at night and weight gain? It is often helpful to determine and explore relationships between variables. This is especially important in health care, a field dedicated to providing quality care for patients and improving health outcomes. Examining relationships between variables forms the basis for correlational statistics.

In this Discussion, you identify a health care or nursing practice problem that can be explored with correlational statistics and formulate a research question for exploring that problem. You also develop a null and alternate hypothesis, determine the variables related to the study, and predict relationships between the variables based on what you know of correlational statistics.

To prepare:

• Review      this week’s Learning Resources and the “Correlation” tutorial focusing on      the types of research questions that can be answered using a correlational      statistic.
• Brainstorm      a number of health care delivery or nursing practice problems that could      be explored using correlational statistics. Then, select one problem on      which to focus for this Discussion.
• Formulate      a research question to address the problem and that would lead you to      employ correlational statistics.
• Develop      a null hypothesis and alternate hypotheses.
• Ask      yourself: What is the expected direction of the relationship?

By tomorrow Tuesday 10/03/17, 5 pm, write a minimum of 550 words essay in APA format. Use the two references below from the required media and reading list.  Include the level one headings as numbered below:  

Post a cohesive response that addresses the following:

1) Identify your selected problem in the first line of your posting and post your research question.

2) Post a null hypothesis and alternate hypotheses for your research question and identify the dependent and independent variables that would be associated with the research study.

3) Provide your prediction for the expected relationship (positive or negative) between the variables. Why do you think that sort of relationship will exist? What other factors might affect the outcome?

This portion of Chapter 9 continues the discussion of inferential statistics and explores correlation and simple linear regression.

submit your answers to the discussion questions given below as Part 1 and Part 2 to this Discussion Area. Cite your work appropriately whenever possible. You should follow the most recent APA guidelines when citing your work. Be sure to incorporate your weekly readings and cite your sources using proper APA guidelines (including in-text citations and references). Respond with meaningful feedback to two classmates before the end of the week. Your feedback should be constructive and add value to the discussion.

Part 1: Transition of the Healthcare Industry

There are many reasons why the healthcare industry has begun to change.  Certainly we know that recent governmental healthcare reform has and will continue to cause change within the industry. However, there has been a more subtle transition within the industry. This week we are discussing this transition, its causes and the effect it has had on the industry and the way we view healthcare.

Describe how the healthcare industry has transitioned from an emphasis on “the sale” to an emphasis on long-term wellness and relationships.

Part 2: Demand in Healthcare

At one time or another we will have a need to access healthcare, whether it is for something major, minor, for ourselves or for others. Healthcare is a commodity that we all utilize. In this section we will discuss healthcare demand and all that it can entail. 

What makes demand in healthcare a complicated issue, and what are some of the components that may contribute to the level of d

Summarize the scenario, Identify key points, the stakeholders, setting, and situation.

Read Cespedes, F. V. (2013, June 28). Ron Ventura at Mitchell Memorial Hospital. Harvard Business School.   

(a) Read the case study to identify the main point and key players. Highlight the main points and identify themes. Review, asking questions: What is really going on? What are the problems? What is the main issue? How do the problems relate? What are the underlying issues? Describe how or why these issues developed. 

(b) Research the problem or issue you have identified to help frame the issue and to make connections to secondary issues. Use journal articles, and not website-based sources. 

(c) Decide how to “solve” or manage the issue. Consider who should be involved: what their responsibilities might be, strengths and weaknesses, and so on.  

(d) Identify at least two alternative solutions and analyze their strengths and weaknesses (or describe why they would or would not be effective).  

(e) Select the best alternative and explain how you will measure effectiveness.  

(f) Discuss the specific issue and secondary issues and how they relate. Support your analysis and explain your reasoning. 

(g) Describe the role perspective contributing to your solution, identifying strengths and weaknesses. Describe alternatives and the pros and cons of these.  

(h) End with a conclusion that addresses how to evaluate the effectiveness of the solution, or describe how effective measures should be measured. Some case studies may conclude with a discussion of implications from the case.    

Papers should include a title page, 2–4 pages of writing, and a reference list. Double-space and use Times New Roman 12-point font, one-inch margins, and APA style of writing and scholarly citations in APA format.

In this assignment, you will be creating a PowerPoint presentation based on the application of the functional health assessment of a movie character. To complete this assignment, choose a movie from the following list and identify a character from the movie on whom you would like to do a health assessment. If you wish to use a character from a movie not included on the following list, get the approval of your instructor.

Films:

Away From Her, Lorenzo’s Oil, Mask, My Sister’s Keeper, Philadelphia, Rain Man, Steel Magnolias, Stepmom, The Elephant Man, The Mighty, The Tic Code (Choose one film from list)

Directions: Create a PowerPoint presentation of 10-12 slides using the template “Movie Character Presentation.” Provide an introduction and background overview of the movie character (client). Assess the client using the “Functional Health Pattern Assessment.” Based on your “observations” and thoughts, document your assessment, providing examples from the movie. Describe any observed or potential cultural, geographic, religious, ethnic, or spiritual considerations of this client. Describe two normal health patterns of the client as well as two abnormal health patterns that you observe, and provide examples. Develop an appropriate nursing diagnosis for the client based on your assessment. Identify and describe three interventions for the client: health promotion, health prevention, and maintenance. Identify at least two possible resources or community services to which you would refer this client and provide rationale for your choices. In addition to submitting the presentation to the instructor, post your assignment to the Movie Character Health Assessment Presentation Main Forum as directed by instructor. Respond to other students’ posts in a manner that initiates or contributes to discussion. Each person should make at least three substantive comments.

While APA format is not required for the body of this assignment, solid academic writing is expected and in-text citations and references should be presented using APA documentation guidelines, which can be found in the APA Style Guide, located in the Student Success Center.

This assignment uses a rubric. Please review the rubric prior to beginning the assignment to become familiar with the expectations for successful completion.

You are not required to submit this assignment to Turnitin.
