Professor and Classmates,
There exists some confusion surrounding the differences between statistical and clinical significance. Readers of medical research view statistical significance as translating to the data holding a clinically important outcome (Ranganathan, Pramesh, & Buyse, 2015). This is not the case. Instead statistical significance informs if there is a difference or a relationship between the independent and dependent variables. Statistical significance does not mean that the difference or relationship equates to clinical significance (Chamberlain, 2019). With statistical significance the numbers conclude that the outcome is not due to chance. Clinical significance refers to the practicality of the findings. In real life situations, would these results have an impact on clinical practice? Some research may have statistical significance but may not be clinically significant, thus not resulting in a clinical change in healthcare practice (Heavey, 2015).
It is possible to have research study results that supported the acceptance of the null hypothesis and demonstrate clinical significance. For example, if a study hypothesized that a new diabetes medication had no effect on blood sugar levels and the null hypothesis could not be rejected, it is plausible that the data is not statistically significant but it can still be clinically significant. If even a small number of subjects in the study showed a decrease in blood sugar levels attributed to the introduction of the medication, this could have an effect on the clinical practice in treating such patients going forward.
Credibility has to do with verifying the results of the study as accurate or believable. In terms of qualitative research this will rely on the foundation of information gathered during either the observations or participant interviews. Credible data is more likely to result from a study that has appropriate and adequate data, as well as a good analysis of negative cases. If a study’s credibility is in question, clinical significance in practice would not be established. Credibility may be established in a variety of ways, and when these techniques are not employed it is likely the study will not be credible. One such method is triangulation. Triangulation involves using multiple methods, data sources, observers, or theories surrounding the phenomenon being studied so as to ensure a more complete representation of reality. Triangulation ensures credibility by supporting comprehensive research findings. If methods such as these are not employed, it is unlikely the findings will have clinical significance. For example, if a study to determine if physical activity affected senior mental health did not employ methods such as triangulation and therefore was deemed not to be credible, there would be no way in which to know if there is a correlation between the two in order to be significant to clinical practice with seniors. (Polit & Beck, 2017).

The web-based healthcare information assessment affords the opportunity to assess healthcare education on the internet. As future professional nurses, it is imperative you provide your clients with appropriate recommendations for credible health information on the internet.
The goal of this assessment is for you to evaluate a website of your choosing (e.g., the American Heart Association the American Diabetes Association or Web MD, Mayo Clinic) following the HONcode criteria (Health on the Net) available in this module’s Reading and Resources folder.
Review the HON (Honor of Code) criteria (https://www.healthonnet.org/HONcode/Conduct.html
https://www.hon.ch/HONcode/Patients/Visitor/visitor.html ), then select a health-based website to review if it meets the standards of HON Code.
For additional details, please refer to the Rubric attached below for further instructions!
Reflect on Florida’s current health education programs such as Zika Free Florida, Tobacco Free Florida and consider what part the media plays in such disease prevention programs. Identify a specific public health issue that you believe needs to be highlighted in health policy and based on your textbook readings discuss how social media can be used as a health promotion tool to improve public awareness on the selected topic.
Please be sure to adhere to the following when posting your weekly discussions:
1. Students are to write their name and the appropriate discussion number/discussion title in the title bar for each discussion. For example Discussion 1: Micheal Cabrera or Discussion 3: Sheila Smith. This is important in identifying that students are submitting original posts as well as response posts as required.
2. Students are to submit their discussions directly onto Blackboard Discussion Board. Attachments submitted as discussion board posts will not be graded.
3. As a reminder, all discussion posts must be minimum 250 words, references must be cited in APA format, and must include minimum of 2 scholarly resources published within the past 5-7 years. Students must respond to 1 different post on a separate day. Response posts must be minimum 100 words each.
Overview: For this milestone, due in Module Two, you will complete a draft of the Introduction section of your presentation. The final project represents a significant portion of your final grade, so it is imperative that your ideas are well developed. This milestone will be submitted as a Word document. Note that this document, with revisions, can serve as your speaker notes for the final project submission. Milestone One provides you with an opportunity to obtain valuable feedback from your instructor that you can incorporate into your final project submission.
Prompt: The topic you select for this Milestone is the topic you will explore throughout this course. The issue is an event within that particular topic that looks at one aspect of it. Your chosen issue will be discussed further in Milestone Two. Review the suggested list of Example Issues and Topics for the Final Project document. Then, based on the issues and topics presented, address the following critical elements:
I. Introduction: Examine the importance of wellness in society and how it influences social practices as well as your discipline of study. To help guide your analysis, you will explore a topic that has been discussed in this course.
A. Analyze the importance (or lack thereof) of wellness and health in society and how it has sparked change in the everyday behavior of individuals or societies?
B. Analyze how social practices and our idea of wellness have shaped each other.
C. Analyze how wellness has influenced the everyday behavior of individuals in your discipline of study or the professional field you are interested
in going into.

Please answer the following Discussion Question. Please be certain to answer the three questions on this week DQ and to provide a well-developed and complete answer to receive credit. Also, please ensure to have read the assigned chapters for the current week.
Q 1: Case Study, Chapter 1, Entry Into Practice: The DThe entry-into-practice debate in the United States continues to be one of the oldest and hottest professional issues nurses face as we enter the second decade of the 21st century. It appears that little progress has been made since 1965 in creating a consensus to raise the entry level into professional nursing practice, although experts do not agree even on that issue. Your neighbors ask you for information about considerations for selection of an appropriate nursing eduhild.
1. Your neighbor is confused because both ADN and BSN schools preparing graduates for RN licensure meet similar criteria for state board approval and have roughly the same number of nursing coursework units. How would you summarize the arguments for changing or not changing the nursing entry level?
2. There is current evidence-based research that explores the impact of registered nurse educational level on patient outcomes. What does the current evidence-based research conclude about the impact of RN educational level on patient outcomes?
3. Achieving the BSN as the entry degree for professional nursing practice will take the best thinking of our nursing leaders. What will it require in order to successfully achieve the BSN as the entry degree for professional nursing practice?

Planning is the key to successful completion of this course and your overall program of study. The Individual Success Plan (ISP) assignment requires early collaboration with the course faculty and your course mentor. You will need to establish a plan for successful completion of
(1) deliverables associated with weekly course objectives
(2), required practice immersion hours, and
(3) deliverables associated with your capstone project.
Access the “Individual Success Plan” resource in the Topic Materials. Read the information in the resource, including student expectations and instructions for completing the ISP document.
Use the “Individual Success Plan” to develop a personal plan for completing your practice hours and how topic objectives will be met. Include the number of hours you plan to set aside to meet your goals.
A combination of 100 supervised clinical hours in community health and leadership areas will be obtained through the application of the objectives listed in the Guidelines for Undergraduate Field Experiences manual.
Practicum immersion experiences are required in a community health setting. Community-based settings should encourage community integration and involvement; expand accessibility of services and supports; promote personal preference, strengths, dignity; and empower people to participate in the economic mainstream.
According to HealthyPeople.gov, educational and community-based programs and strategies are designed to reach people outside of traditional health care settings.
These settings include health care facilities. Community health and leadership practice immersion can occur in the same site and in conjunction with the evidence-based project in the NRS-490 course.
If you are a registered nurse in Washington, your practicum experience must include a minimum of 50 hours in a community health setting.
Students should apply concepts from prior courses to critically examine and improve their current practice. Students should also integrate scholarly readings to develop case reports that demonstrate increasingly complex and proficient practice.
Consider the challenges you expect to encounter as you continue the practice hour and competency requirements throughout this course. How might you overcome these challenges?
You can renegotiate these deliverables with your faculty and mentor throughout this course and update your ISP accordingly.
Once your ISP has been developed and accepted by your course faculty, you will have your course mentor sign it at the beginning of, and upon completion of, each assignment that incorporates practice immersion hours. You will track all course practice immersion hours in the ISP.
APA format is not required, but solid academic writing is expected.
You are not required to submit this assignment to Turnitin.
