Assignment: The Impact of Standardized Nursing Terminology Among the Resources in this module is the Rutherford (2008) article Standardized Nursing Language: What Does It Mean for Nursing Practice? In this article, the author recounts a visit to a local hospital to view the recent implementation of a new coding system.

How would you respond to a comment such as this one? To Prepare: Review the concepts of informatics as presented in the Resources, particularly Rutherford, M.

Practice Problem Evidence based practice is essential to effective social work practice. For this assignment, you are required to (a) identify a current practice problem relevant in your current agency (i.e., working with resistant clients, engaging clients when they don’t talk much, having negative perceptions about your client, counter transference, etc.), (b) after identifying your practice problem, conduct an extensive literature search as it relates to your practice problem that provides you with a complete understanding of the practice problem. Based on your findings in the literature, what did you discover that will help you address your practice problem? How might your research guide your work in your field agency? After reviewing the literature/research and comparing it to the practice problem, the student is expected to do the following: By Day 7 Submit a reflection paper that: Briefly discusses the literature Briefly identifies the practice problem Briefly explains how the literature will be used to address the practice problem while engaging in the agency.

Research Design and Sampling Using the empirical research article that your instructor approved in the Week 5 assignment, ask yourself: “Is this a quantitative research article or a qualitative research article?” Remember, in quantitative research, the emphasis is on measuring social phenomenon because it is assumed that everything can be observed, measured, and quantified. On the other hand, in qualitative research, it is assumed that social phenomenon cannot be easily reduced and broken down into concepts that can be measured and quantified. Instead, there may be different meanings to phenomenon and experiences. Often in qualitative research, researchers use interviews, focus groups and observations to gather data and then report their findings using words and quotations. Consider how these different methods affect the sampling design and recruitment strategy, and ask yourself how the recruitment of research participants will affect the findings. For this Assignment, submit a 3-4 page paper. Complete the following: Read your selected empirical research article, and identify whether the study is a quantitative or qualitative study. Justify the reasons why you believe it is a quantitative or qualitative study. (Your instructor will indicate to you if you are correct in identifying the research design. This will point you to whether you will use the “Quantitative Article and Review Critique” or the “Qualitative Article and Review Critique” guidelines for the final assignment in week 10.) Using the empirical research article, focus on the sampling method in the study and begin to evaluate the sampling method by answering the following: Describe the sampling methods in your own words (paraphrase, do not quote from the article). Describe the generalizability or the transferability of the research finding based on the sampling method. Discuss the limitations the article identified with the sample and how those limitations affect the reliability or credibility. Explain one recommendation you would make to improve the sampling plan of the study that would address these limitations in future research.

Relationship Between Qualitative Analysis and Evidence-Based Practice Evidence-based practice is integral to social work, as it often informs best practices. Competent social workers understand this connection in general and the ways it benefits clients in particular. For this Assignment, consider your informed opinion on the relationship between qualitative analysis and evidence-based practice. By Day 7 Submit a paper that addresses the following: Choose two qualitative research studies from this week’s resources and analyze the relationship between qualitative analysis and evidence-based practice. Consider how the qualitative study contributes to social work practice and how this type of knowledge would fit into building evidence-based practice.

Journaling provides a valuable tool for recording, reflecting on, and reviewing your learning. This approach provides an opportunity for you to “connect the dots” and observe the relationships between and among activities, interactions, and outcomes. Unlike a personal journal of thoughts and feelings, this leadership journal is a record of your activities, assessments, and learning related to this academic experience. Journal entries should include a record of the number of hours spent with your nurse leader each week. Write a journal on the subject of example, including the following: Provide observations and thoughts on the activities in your practicum setting during Topics 11-12. Identify three to five personal values or characteristics that you believe are critical components of a good leader, such as honesty, compassion, or fairness. How do you express those values in your professional life? How have you prepared those who will be affected by your project for its implementation? Reflect on at least two things you learned from the “Servant Leadership – Issue of Example” video. Use the “Leadership Journal Template” to complete this assignment.This assignment uses a rubric. Please review the rubric prior to beginning the assignment to become familiar with the expectations for successful completion. You are required to submit this assignment to LopesWrite.
