Using reliable Internet sources and/or the CSU Online Library, search for and locate a recent court case or lawsuit related to sexual harassment in the workplace. Then, conduct a case study in which you analyze the case, presenting an argument and applicable evidence about your selected court case or lawsuit. Consider the concepts learned in this course as you analyze the case and present your analysis.
Include the following in your paper:

  • a brief description of the conduct that precipitated the selected court case or lawsuit and how Title VII protects against this conduct;
  • an analysis of the use of the complaint procedure and the employer’s response to any complaints;
  • a discussion of preventive steps that could have been used to prevent the harassment from occurring; and
  • a summary of the costs to the employer, financial and otherwise, stemming from the lawsuit and the underlying conduct.

Your paper should be a minimum of two pages, not including the title and reference pages. You are required to use a minimum of three sources, one of which may be your textbook as reference material for your case study. Adhere to APA Style when constructing this assignment, including in-text citations and references for all sources that are used. Please note that no abstract is needed.

NUR131: Evidence-Based Practice- Nursing Research Workbook Assignment

The goal of this assessment is to: 1) develop your research knowledge, and 2) critique a research article.

Assessment Criteria

Completion of the workbook will be assessed according to the following criteria:
1. Understanding of the research process
2. Understanding of sampling principles
3. Understanding of principles of quantitative and qualitative data collection
4. Appraisal of published research papers
5. Understanding of ethical issues related to research where applicable

Workbook Format
The format of your workbook should use the following guidelines:

2. Line spacing: 11/2 space
3. Layout orientation: Landscape
4. The Harvard reference style 6th edition must be used.

Workbook Part A: Research knowledge

A component of the Nursing and Midwifery Board of Australia (NMBA) Registration Standards is Continuing Professional Development (CPD). “CPD is the means by which members of the professions maintain, improve and broaden their knowledge, expertise and competence, and develop the personal and professional qualities needed throughout their professional lives” (NMBA, 2016, p 1). An example of a CPD activity is attending “conferences, forums, seminars and symposia” (NMBA, 2016, p 2).
In NUR131 you are required to participate in the 8 research presentations as an illustrative example of a CPD activity. In Part A of the workbook you are required complete a workbook entry for each of the 8 Research Presentations. The research presentations for this activity are located in the

Assessment Task 3 Folder in the course BlackBoard.
Each presentation entry should be approximately 100 words and must address the following criteria:
1. Date you listened to the presentation
2. Name of the presenter
3. Title of the presentation
4. Identify 5 technical research terms discussed in the presentation
5. Choose 2 of the identified terms and provide a definition in your own words of the term (you must not use direct quotes).

You can only use a technical research term once across the 8 presentation entries.

Workbook Part B: The research process

Part B of the workbook requires you to answer a number of questions related to a research article. The workbook template (included on BlackBoard) includes the question areas that MUST be answered for this assessment task.
You are required to analyse and critique the journal article. Simple yes/no answers are not adequate responses. Do not use quotations as this demonstrates that you can find information but does not demonstrate that you understand a concept.

A feasibility analysis is a chance to open your eyes, ask yourself some very tough questions, then check to see whether your idea, as originally conceived, needs to be modified, refocused, or changed dramatically. (Or perhaps even scrapped altogether.)” (Abrams, as cited in Scarborough & Cornwall, 2015, p. 237).
With this assignment, you will be addressing the fundamental question: Does this business have profit potential?
Referring to the same business you either started or purchased in the first assignment, write a three to four (3-4) page paper in which you:

  1. Conduct a feasibility analysis in which you research:
    1. Industry and Market Feasibility
    2. Product or Service Feasibility
    3. Financial Feasibility
    4. Entrepreneurial Readiness
  2. Based on your assessment, does the business idea need to be modified, changed significantly, or abandoned? (Note: If you abandon the business idea, then you will need to select and analyze a new business that has profit potential.)
  3. Include at least two (2) references outside the textbook.

Your assignment must follow these formatting requirements:

Re:Topic 3 DQ 2

“Qualitative research is characterized by its aims, which relate to understanding some aspect of social life and its methods which (in general) generate words, rather than numbers, as data for analysis” (McCusker & Gunaydin, 2015). Qualitative research has an interpretative approach and is subjective. This style of research often sees the researcher spending many hours in direct personal contact with those being studied. This style of research is often referred to as an interpretative researcher; observing and recording amounts of information and understanding the meaning about everyday life. This method is using to answer the question of ‘why’ ‘what’, or ‘how’ experience than ‘how many’ or ‘how much’ which are answered by quantitative methods.

Quantitative research however, relies and builds on mathematical procedures and methods, such as frequency, quality, amount and statistical procedure. In this method, researcher use tools that includes questionnaire, or equipment to collect numerical data whereas qualitative methods involves analysis of data such as interviews, video, participation, group discussion, pictures and that’s how they based the final results or conclusion or their experiment. Qualitative method could less generalize and depends on skills use; however, quantitative method is more generalize and largely depends on measurement device.

Both methods are used in many research studies as well especially in medical field to evaluate effective results. Both qualitative and quantitative methodologies can find practical details and reach a conclusion based on the reasoning and complexity in the data. In both methods, researcher strives to avoid error and false conclusion. Both methods are used to find out the answer of research questions and utilize the technique to verify the data and find the valid conclusion (Smith, 2013).
