identify and analyze credible evidence that could be used as the basis for applying EBP to the issue.

Develop a 2-4 page scholarly paper in which you describe a quality or safety issue, or a chosen diagnosis, and then identify and analyze credible evidence that could be used as the basis for applying EBP to the issue.IntroductionThe goal of using evidence-based research findings is to enhance safety and quality of patient care and ensure optimal outcomes are achieved. It is not uncommon to hear a nurse say, “why change it as we’ve always done it this way.” However, this is no longer acceptable in today’s practice environment. The profession of nursing has evolved, and the expectation is that the professional nurse has a scientific foundation to support the care that is provided. As the profession of nursing continues to evolve and engage in health care transformation, baccalaureate-prepared nurses are expanding taking on leadership roles that include incorporating EBPs. To be able to do this, the nurse needs to understand the criteria and makes a resource credible, as this is crucial when deciding if the research is valid and reliable for implementation into health care settings. The nurse will need to incorporate the use of evidence-based practice models. EBP models are designed to assist the nurse in developing a plan to gather evidence to answer a practice problem or question. It is a systematic approach to direct the user to incorporate scholarly findings into current practice. These EBP models lead the nurse through the decision-making process of evaluating the literature to determine the best practice evidence for the practice issue or question.It would be an excellent choice to complete the Vila Health Determining the Credibility of Evidence activity prior to developing the report. The activity is a media simulation that offers an opportunity to review a scenario and work on determining the credibility of presented evidence. These skills will be necessary to complete Assessment 2 successfully. This media simulation is one potential source of context on which to base your assessment submission. This will take just a few minutes of your time and is not graded.Professional ContextAs a baccalaureate-prepared nurse, you will be responsible for locating and identifying credible and scholarly resources to incorporate the best available evidence for the purposes of enhancing clinical reasoning and judgement skills. When reliable and relevant evidence-based findings are utilized, patients, health care systems, and nursing practice outcomes are positively impacted.ScenarioFor this assessment, you may choose from the following options as the context for the quality or safety issue or chosen diagnosis/health issue for researching and completing this assessment:The specific diagnosis/health issue you identified in your previous assessment.The simulation Vila Health: Determining the Credibility of Evidence.A personal practice experience in which a sentinel event occurred.InstructionsThe purpose of this analysis is to better understand what constitutes credibility of journal articles as well as websites. The role of the baccalaureate-prepared nurse in incorporating evidence-based research continues to growth in clinical practice. As quality improvement (QI) measures to reduce safety risks continue to be emphasized, the need for evidence-based models and evidence-based templates is growing. This type of systematic approach to incorporating evidence-based findings allows nurses to make clinical and operational decisions based upon the best available evidence. When the most up-to-date evidence-based findings are utilized, patient-centered care improves outcomes and enhances the patient experience.Below is a quick review table of several well-known Evidence-Based Practice Models used to guide exploration:Evidence-Based Practice ModelsIowa Model of Evidence-Based PracticeStetler ModelOttawa ModelPARiHS (Promoting Action on Research Implementation in Health Services) ModelACE (Academic Center for Evidence-Based Practice) Star ModelARCC (Advancing Research and Clinical Practice Through Close Collaboration) ModeJohn Hopkins ModelKTA (Knowledge-to-Action) ModelFor this assessment:Explain the criteria that should be used when determining the credibility of journal articles as well as websites.Support your explanations with references to the literature or research articles that describe criteria that should be used to determine credibility.Your identification and determination of credibility should be done within the context of your chosen scenario for this assessment. For example, if you choose to use the provided Vila Health scenario, your initial identification of resources should be of resources that will best help address the presented issue. However, if you are locating resources to help provide evidence-based care for the diagnosis/health care issue you identified in the first assessment, you may want to begin your literature and evidence search from the databases that were identified.

Do you think that if more parents knew about IFSP they would be more willing to be involved in their child’s special needs services and allow it to be provided to their children ?

CHAPTERS 4 8 AND 9 MUST BE COMPLETED USING THIS FORMATFORMAT for Reading ResponseText Chapter(s) and/or Article TitleAbstract:A very brief summary of what you understand as the main ideas of the articles/chapters. *You may synthesize multiple readings, or respond to them separately.Respond to the main idea of the chapter/article/videos and synthesize:Each response must have meaningful & relevant connections to the coursework.Personal and/or professional experience.Respond to the question, “How does this new information inform or guide your (future) work as a teacher working with young children with special needs and their families.Develop a discussion question in connection with the reading, post question along with your reading response.This format must be used for each chapter individually so each chapter should look like the example below:Chapter 3:Abstract: This chapter went over the process and information that goes into an Individualized intervention plan as well as the programs used to monitor the progress made under these plans. The main idea of this article to me at least was the part that went over individualized family service plans (IFSP). In this section they went into great detail on what IFSP are and how they are implemented. An IFSP is used for children anywhere from birth to 3 years old. It is a plan that looks at the concerns of the family for the child and helps provide resources that will allow for family directed intervention. Within these plans the families input is most important since the family is crucial to the success of these plans.Synthesize: In order for an IFSP to occur there is a team put into place with trained individuals who can observe the progress of the child. There are annual reviews to the plan to be sure it is working properly so that the family has the resources needed for the plan. The way they go about assessing the child for these plans was quite interesting to me. In order to assess a child for an IFSP it is done in a setting that the child is in on a regular basis. These evaluations are done in the child’s natural setting to build trust between the child, his/her family and the person who is doing the evaluation. This is important because then you are able to assess the child’s growth. They develop short term and long term goals for the child and are in constant contact with the families of the child to make sure everyone is satisfied with the progress.Personal/Professional Experience: I have never had experiences with an IFSP plan however I have had experiences with IEP’s. These two plans defer in the sense that an IFSP is family based while an IEP is child based. However, after reading about IFSP I believe that IEP’s should also allow for family involvement. A child spends a lot of time in school but even more time with his/her family and they play a huge role in the child’s academic progress as well in later years not just from birth to age 3. By allowing the family to be involved you can create better connections and see greater progress in the child’s development.Future: I plan to become a special education teacher and so knowing about IFSP plans will allow me to participate in these meetings for my future students.Discussion question: Do you think that if more parents knew about IFSP they would be more willing to be involved in their child’s special needs services and allow it to be provided to their children ?

Does she love Rama or do you feel she is bound to behave this way because of her caste level?

This is a discussion. For this assignment, you first need to have read/reviewed the first two textbook selections: the excerpts from The Epic of Gilgamesh as well as the Ramayana. Then carefully consider what you have read/reviewed when you respond to these instructions.First: each of the main characters (whether or not ALL of them can be considered “heroes”) is faced with choices he (or she) must make. In the story about Gilgamesh, our hero sets out on a quest that is driven by his desire to seek immortality; in the Ramayana, Rama and Sita are among those who also must decide what to do and when. Keep in mind what you have learned about the background/worldview that frames the context for each story when you share your thoughts about specific issues:1) How do YOU feel about Gilgamesh’s decision to seek everlasting life? How does his choice to go and continue on this journey affect his character and function as a ruler? Do you fee his desires and actions can be justified?2) Think about Rama and Sita – what drives the decisions that each makes? Is Rama’s insistence on his wife’s “proof” of righteousness and fidelity justified? Are Sita’s own actions in demanding to be tested by fire actions taken out of love…or actions taken because of her own adherence to her dharma? Does she love Rama or do you feel she is bound to behave this way because of her caste level? (Remember, these two figures are incarnations of beings who also exist in the realm beyond the physical – they are not simply “humans”.)

Who are the leaders of movements for groups that are disenfranchised in America today?

The Vietnam War and US involvement in Indochina was an outcome of the US foreign policy of containment, that took a stark and binary view of political entities as either favorable to the US in the “fight” against communism, or unfavorable, regardless of the other characteristics of the government, to include supporting “friendly” autocratic dictatorships in Iran or Malaysia. A similar pattern of federal government ignorance of civil rights and cultural diversity in the 20th ran deep into the 1960’s before it could no longer be ignored.For your main discussion post, discuss how the legacies of Watergate and the Vietnam War shape U.S politics in the decade that followed. What did Ronald Reagan’s presidential election and re-election represent for the New Right in both domestic and foreign policy? Explain the relationship between Reagan’s policies and the hard fought civil liberties and women’s rights progress of the 1960’s and 1970’s.Interact with the classmates about the different approaches groups or movements took to effect social and political change in the US in the 1960’s. What differences that are the subject of protests or potential changes to civil liberties or equal opportunity laws that still exist today that are fundamentally cultural and how have positions on these issues changed since the 1960’s? Who are the leaders of movements for groups that are disenfranchised in America today?

Who in this situation would be considered responsible for any violations?

One aspect of the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) is patient privacy rules. There has been some confusion among medical personnel over the years as to what constitutes a violation of the privacy rules.Consider this scenario:Jane obtains her prescriptions for genital herpes treatment from XYZ pharmacies. One store is in her area. One day, she receives a flier from a pharmaceutical company advertising its herpes treatment product. This mailing has piled up with other pieces in the lobby of Jane’s apartment building, and her fellow tenants can easily see the description of the product and her name on the flier.In your first post:Review the scenario above and describe what possible HIPAA violations might have occurred, and at what level (criminal, civil). Use peer-reviewed literature to support your position.Who in this situation would be considered responsible for any violations?What would be the consequences of the violation(s)?
