Review the following excerpt from a hypothetical research article that compared memory-test performance between two groups of participants: those who consumed a caffeinated beverage before the test and those who consumed a non-caffeinated beverage:
An independent samples t-test was conducted to examine the difference between experimental conditions on test performance. The results indicated a significant difference between participants who consumed the caffeinated beverage and participants who did not, with participants in the caffeinated group (
M = 7.64,
SD = 2.41) performing worse than participants in the non-caffeinated group (
M = 9.81,
SD = 3.16),
t(97) = 2.14,
p < .05.

Write a brief paper explaining what the author means when she says that the results were statistically significant. In other words, what does it mean to say that results are statistically significant? Be sure to explain what a

p value
is and how it relates to
statistical significance.

As a reminder,
M stands for mean,
SD stands for standard deviation, the
t indicates that this study was a t-test, and the
p represents the
p value. You may consult page 353 of your textbook,
Discovering Statistics Using IBM SPSS Statistics, for help interpreting the statistical results listed in the excerpt, but that may not be necessary.

Specifically, be sure to address the following
critical elements:

· Provide a
description of statistical significance.

· Provide a clear and accurate
explanation of
p value
and how it relates to statistical significance.

What to Submit

Share a relevant story—ideally based on your personal or professional experiences—about how a security incident originated with an attack vector that was opened, either maliciously or accidentally, by a trusted insider. Focus your discussion on the features that make this particular insider attack unique by describing the salient features of the attack, when and how the breach incident was discovered, the data that was illegally accessed, and the short- and long-term consequences of the attack to the organization.

While threats to the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of data may originate from many types of attackers, the information security threats from trusted insiders—such as employees, vendors, and contractors—can be particularly insidious because the attackers have legitimate credentials on enterprise systems and networks. Insider threats may be difficult to detect because it can be challenging to differentiate between potentially harmful actions and an employee’s authorized work.

Increased Sputum Production: He notes a significant increase in the amount of yellow-green sputum he’s been coughing up, which is thicker and stickier than usual.3. Chest Tightness: James describes a sensation of chest tightness and increased use of his SABA inhaler, but it provides only temporary relief.4. Decreased Exercise Tolerance: He mentions that he used to take short walks daily, but now he struggles to even leave his bedroom.Vital Signs:Temperature: 98.6°F (37°C)1. General Appearance: James appears anxious, sits leaning forward with pursed lips, and uses accessory muscles for breathing.2. Respiratory Assessment:o Diffuse wheezing is heard upon auscultation.o Increased anterior-posterior chest diameter is observed.3.

Arterial Blood Gas (ABG):o pH: 7.32o PaCO2: 60 mm Hgo PaO2: 56 mm Hgo HCO3-: 30 mEq/Lo SaO2: 88%2. Complete Blood Count (CBC):o White Blood Cell (WBC) Count: 14o Platelets 1503. Basic Metabolic Panel (BMP):o Sodium (Na): 139o Potassium (K): 3.1o Bicarbonate (HCO3): 30 mEq/Lo Creatinine: 2.1Chest X-ray:The chest X-ray reveals hyperinflated lungs with flattened diaphragms and increased retrosternal airspace, consistent with COPD.2. 2. What are the known diagnoses for this patient?3. What is the plan for this patient?4. Compare and contrast the workup, diagnosis, and treatment for a patient with asthma vs a patient with COPD.  

Describe how the following example illustrates one or more of the system characteristics that contribute to dynamic complexity. Example: Medical Associates is a for-profit medical group of 40 physicians that operates two facilities and offers services in several medical specialties, including cardiology; ear, nose, and throat; family medicine; gastroenterology; general surgery; pediatrics; and obstetrics and gynecology. Medical Associates is open six days a week in each location from 8:00 am until 6:00 pm. Plans are being developed to extend its hours to 9:00 pm two days a week. For several years, Medical Associates discounted its listed fees by 3 percent to 5 percent for its managed care contracts, but a few years ago, it had to accept larger discounts to remain in the networks of health plans.

Lower reimbursements led
Medical Associates to change its staffing from relying solely on registered nurses (RNs) to hiring medical assistants (MAs) as well. Currently, all physicians assigned to primary care service are assigned one RN or MA to assist with patient care. Physicians assigned to surgery are assigned one RN for every two physicians. As RNs retire or reassign, they have been replaced with MAs. On five recent occasions, when an RN assigned to a senior physician resigned, the senior physician demanded that the RN assigned to a junior physician be reassigned to him and that a new MA be hired to fill the vacancy with the junior physician. This ad hoc system of job switching has caused internal turmoil between the senior and junior physicians and has led to the subsequent resignation of two RNs who did not want to be reassigned…. Confusion exists around staff reporting relationships and who has the authority to change job assignments. (Seidel and Lewis 2014, 215)

A nursing degree can open up many different career opportunities, but with so many levels of nursing, it can be confusing to know which one is right for you. One nursing student recently found a great resource at https://www.nursingpaper.com/questions/what-are-levels-of-nursing/  that provided detailed information on the different levels of nursing, from Certified Nursing Assistants (CNAs) to Doctor of Nursing Practice (DNP). With this information, the student was able to better understand the different educational and training requirements for each level, as well as the scope of practice and potential career paths. Armed with this knowledge, the student felt more confident about choosing the right nursing degree program and career path for their goals and interests.  What are some other levels of nursing that are not mentioned in the article, and how do they differ from the ones mentioned?
