Technology is integral to successful implementation in many projects, through either support or integration or both. Name at least one technology that could improve the implementation process and the outcomes of your EBP project. Do you plan to use this technology? If not, what are the barriers that prevent its use?
Discuss how the CMS reimbursement rules for never events required a shift in the patient care delivery model in inpatient facilities.
4-Explain each sampling technique discussed in the “Visual Learner: Statistics” in your own words, and give examples of when each technique would be appropriate
The visual learner statistics learner statistics include five different types of sampling techniques. They are simple random sampling, systematic sampling, convenience sampling, stratified sampling and cluster sampling.
Simple Random Sampling: In a simple random sampling, individuals are chosen at random and not more than once to prevent a bias that would negatively affect the validity of the result of the experiment. Individuals in the sample are given equal opportunity to be selected.
Stratified Sampling: The population is divided into two or more groups called strata that share common characteristics and deriving a sample from each different group. Example: Collecting the same set of data from college educated individuals, individuals with some college education, and data from individuals with no college experience.
Convenience sampling: Sampling a group of people that are readily available, an easy or convenient way to collect a sample. Example: Collecting a data on a group of patients that have an appointment with their doctor in a single day
Cluster sampling: Is a simple technique where the entire population is divided into groups or clusters and then a random sample of these clusters are selected. Example of use of this type of sampling would be to find out about city taxes in Maryland. It would be too difficult to get a random sample in the state of Maryland, so the researcher could use cluster sampling to get data from certain cities in Maryland and that would basically give them an idea of city taxes in Maryland.
Systematic sampling: In systematic sampling, the member of the population is selected randomly at a particular starting number. Example a researcher has a total population of 100 individuals. From the list, the researcher randomly selects the first sample elements from the K elements of the population list, thereafter every K element on the list is selected.

5-I defiantly agree with you, Nurses as researchers need to find the right mix of sampling type that would be most appropriate first to the patients involved, secondly as to the particular dialysis if involved and future treatments, they must also be looking at the future growth of the profession and best practices before embarking with any type of sampling decision. Sampling bias and error is the end product of poor decision making involving sampling types
6-You did a great job explaining the types and forms of visual learning provided, I also opine that because population keeps getting wider and wider and there is a need to streamline it into manageable parts, the idea for types of sampling was birth. And the choice on the type is dependent on the researcher, the research basis and the population itself. Dr. James Lani of Complete Dissertation defines sampling as a “statistical procedure that is concerned with the selection of the individual observation; it helps us to make statistical inferences about the population”

What is the difference between a DNP and a PhD in nursing? Which of these would you choose to pursue if you decide to continue your education to the doctoral level?
4-The BSN prepared RN has a research knowledge base that pushes critical thinking and process improvements and change. Challenging policies in place and ensuring the pediatric clinic I work in is using the most up to date and best practices when caring for patients is one of my goals. It is also important o me to educate staff on the changes including providers and nurses. Thus far, they have been receptive to change and I have had little push back. There are a few staff members that continuously challenge me and my research but it helps me gain more knowledge and to show professionalism and integrity to staff when dealing with conflict and change. Knowing that a BSN prepared RN is leading the pediatric clinic is comforting to the providers and staff within the clinic and there is a lot of trust instilled in the advocacy to our patients by practicing with EBP. The BSN prepared RN has the research to become even more innovative with new health care strategies.
5-Evidence-based practice (EBP) is an essential component of the practice of a bachelor of science in nursing student because EBP involves thorough investigation in the treatment of a patient. EBP involves taking into account references of the patient and combines it with the knowledge of the doctor in order to facilitate delivering maximum positive results. An objective of EBP is to avoid the use of unnecessary healthcare procedures and making decisions based on the available body of facts. EBP plays a major role in improving the standard of treatment given to patients.
When placing a nasogastric tube for feeding, it is important to determine its position by testing the pH of the aspirate to determine whether the tube has been placed in the correct position. Through this practice, it can be confirmed hat the tube has been placed in the gastric pathway and not in the respiratory pathway, which greatly reduces the incidence of pneumonia.
6-yes BSN prepared nurses use more critical thinking in processes and procedures. It is encouraging to work with management that supports your views. It also builds confidence in what you do and will encourage you to do more. Challenges from co-workers are inevitable especially when you are trying to change the old ways of doing things. No everybody like change and not everybody is comfortable dealing with change. Thanks for sharing your posts.
What is sampling theory? Describe it and provide examples to illustrate your definition. Discuss generalizability as it applies to nursing research.
Students are required to maintain weekly reflective narratives throughout the course to combine into one course-long reflective journal that integrates leadership and inquiry into current practice as it applies to the Professional Capstone and Practicum course.
In your journal, you will reflect on the personal knowledge and skills gained throughout this course. The journal should address a variable combination of the following, depending on your specific practice immersion clinical experiences:
Students will outline what they have discovered about their professional practice, personal strengths and weaknesses that surfaced, additional resources and abilities that could be introduced to a given situation to influence optimal outcomes, and finally, how the student met the competencies aligned to this course.
While APA style is not required for the body of this assignment, solid academic writing is expected, and in-text citations and references should be presented using APA documentation guidelines, which can be found in the APA Style Guide, located in the Student Success Center.
This assignment uses a rubric. Please review the rubric prior to beginning the assignment to become familiar with the expectations for successful completion.
