practicing as a professional nurse. Adherence to these principles allows the nurse to provide the best quality of care to the patients receiving care and maintains the safety of the patient, as well as the nurse. By reviewing and analyzing legal case studies, nurses can begin to understand…
The first article (scholarly article) talked about test anxiety in young children summarizes how students in elementary grade levels have vastly different levels of anxiety between high-stake tests versus regular classrooms tests. The levels of test anxiety among children was measured using two different kinds of tests, the CTAS (Children’s Test Anxiety Scale) and the BASC-2-TA (Behavior Assessment Scale for Children, Second Edition). The CTAS measured the students physiological reactions to…
Is Cultural Diversity Proving to be Compatible with Social Unity? In this essay, I will be using multiple case studies of countries, as well as areas in the UK, to explain why I believe the British government should embrace and encourage cultural diversity, as I believe cultural diversity is proving to be compatible with social unity and that the presence of systems encouraging cultural diversity is not the reason for a general lack of social unity, which can be attributed to other reasons,…
Qualitative Methods Application – Case Study Suzanne Lowrance Bellevue University Qualitative Methods Application – Case Study The generational gap in the workplace is a fact that can be attested by various studies and research on workplace conditions. The situation where each generation defines their own preferences and experiences is an explicit scenario that commonly occurs in organizations throughout our industry. The major results that are experienced with the generational gap are a lack of…
be valid or the study is worthless (Leedy & Ormrod, 2010). Creswell (2013) postulated four fundamental philosophical assumptions. Assumption 1: Ontological assumption: Concerns the nature of reality, that is, a view that qualitative study is assuming the notion of several truths, such as the use of several types of evidence in themes using the actual words of different participants and presenting different perspectives (Creswell, 2013). The ontological assumptions made for this study are: a).…
Design of the Study Qualitative studies aim to look into the quality of relationships, activities, situations, or materials (Fraenkel & Wallen, 2009). According to Merriam (2009), the focus of qualitative research is the process, meaning, and understanding, and the researcher plays an important role as the primary instrument of data collection and analysis, which is inductive (p. 266). Moreover, Bogdan and Biklen (2007) describe five characteristics of qualitative research: • The natural…
This research proposal starts with understanding the organisational culture of the U.S Military, that proposes the use of fusion cells in order to quantify the data collected from multiple units collectively in order to share knowledge and action best plan. In order to investigate organisational efficiencies, my initial interest took me to research and correspond with the military and specifically “Fusion Cells” within the special forces. I wanted to learn about their role from a climate of…
children’s eyewitness identification. The studies done by Rush et al (2014) and Hritz et al (2015) identify the impact of stress on the child, which can be reduced through the supportive guidance of well-informed adult interviewers in the identification of suspect in a line up. These findings provide empirical evidence of the supportive environment that is needed to reduce memory lapses that occur in children that have been exposed to extreme stress and trauma in cases of sexual or physical…
Open Source Software Projects: A Balance of Trust and Control According to Jones et al. (2005), trust is the single most important driver for the success of virtual teams. However, as a result of Michael Gallivan’s (2001) case study on open source software projects, he now believes that there is another variable to this movement that can be found in control. He presents the McDonaldization theory by identifying four aspects of modern organizations: efficiency, calculability, predictability and…
In relevance to the indicated answerable clinical question from the case study, several articles present strong arguments supporting changing IVC’s to when clinically indicated versus routinely. Although current guidelines recommend the routine change of IVC’s within the clinical setting, this is not supported by recent data…
