discuss: Qualitative and quantitative research both provide essential information in nursing and evidence-based practice. Quantitative research is scientific, objective, and expressed in numbers, while qualitative is more subjective and descriptive. Qualitative research describes how patients feel and what is observed. Qualitative research provides a form of truth and proof that answers certain questions (Mateo, 2013). Observing patients and understanding how they are feeling and what they are experiencing is very important to apply to evidence-based practice. For example, evidence-based medications and treatment may be declined by a patient. Instead of listing the patient as non-compliant, qualitative research can enlighten physicians as to why they are not taking their medications. Suppose the medication is making them sick or makes them unable to function at an acceptable level. Qualitative research may show patients taking x medication have these reactions based on the studies. Therefore, the medication regimen can be changed or addressed differently. There are important pieces of data to be collected through qualitative research. This type of research answers the questions unable to be represented by statistics, measurements, or numbers.

A researcher predicts that watching a film on institutionalization will change students attitudes about chronically mentally ill patients. The researcher randomly selects a class of 36 students, shows them the film, and gives them a questionnaire about their attitudes. The mean score on the questionnaire for these 36 students is 70. The score for people in general on this questionnaire is 75, with a standard deviation of 12. Using the five steps of hypothesis testing and the 5% significance level (i.e. alpha = .05), does showing the film change students attitudes towards the chronically mentally ill? What does it mean to set alpha at .05? What is your null hypothesis? Alternate hypothesis?

What policies and programs would you recommend be created and/or adopted to bolster achievement in your district?
Raising academic Achievement Levels
You are a superintendent of a large urban district which is not meeting its Adequate Yearly Progress (AYP), and your school board has indicated that they will give you two years to turn the district around.

For this discussion, identify three findings derived from research conveyed in Chapter 10 of your course text regarding student academic achievement that you believe best represent what should be the focus of your district in creating policies and structures to bolster and support high student academic achievement levels in the district. What policies and programs would you recommend be created and/or adopted to bolster achievement in your district? Provide examples, details, and refer to your course text to defend your position.

Explain the controversy that surrounds dissociative disorders. Explain your professional beliefs about dissociative disorders, supporting your rationale with at least three scholarly references from the literature.
CONTROVERSY ASSOCIATED WITH DISSOCIATIVE DISORDERS
The DSM-5-TR is a diagnostic tool. It has evolved over the decades, as have the classifications and criteria within its pages. It is used not just for diagnosis, however, but also for billing, access to services, and legal cases. Not all practitioners are in agreement with the content and structure of the DSM-5-TR, and dissociative disorders are one such area. These disorders can be difficult to distinguish and diagnose. There is also controversy in the field over the legitimacy of certain dissociative disorders, such as dissociative identity disorder, which was formerly called multiple personality disorder.
