Utilize the above link. Choose ONE of the 3 case studies to watch. Write a reflection Paper (4-5 pages): Learners are to reflect on the health and social issues facing this population and they are to reflect on any assumptions/ biases they identified through this activity and how they became aware of them. Reflection of how the learner will apply lessons learned through these cases to future patient care.

Discuss how nurses today communicate and collaborate with interdisciplinary teams and how this supports safer and more effective patient outcomes.

1. Explain how nursing practice has changed over time and how this evolution has changed the scope of practice and the approach to treating the individual.
2. Compare and contrast the differentiated practice competencies between an associate and baccalaureate education in nursing. Explain how scope of practice changes between an associate and baccalaureate nurse.
3. Identify a patient care situation and describe how nursing care, or approaches to decision‐making, differ between the BSN‐prepared nurse and the ADN nurse.
4. Discuss the significance of applying evidence‐based practice to nursing care and explain how the academic preparation of the RN‐BSN nurse supports its application.
5. Discuss how nurses today communicate and collaborate with interdisciplinary teams and how this supports safer and more effective patient outcomes.

Discuss the modification process in legislation development. After reading the article, compare the modification process of legislation development to that of healthcare policy.

For this assignment, discuss the modification process in legislation development. After reading the article, compare the modification process of legislation development to that of healthcare policy.

Policy modifications arise due to performance and feedback, much like a simple Plan, Do, Study, Act model. Performance and perceptions stimulate the change process, if actions are not effective. In policy modification, changes are stimulated throughout all stages of the design, rulemaking, operating, and evaluating phases. This process of change is necessary when policies are ineffective or stratifications change, especially with health determinants.

Post your evaluation findings and link to your article in your initial post

Differentiate between range, interquartile range, standard deviation, degrees of freedom.

1. Reading Assignment (20 points): Read Chapter 6 ,“Descriptive Statistics”, in the textbook Statistics for Evidence-based Practice in Nursing (2017)
Answer the following questions in your own words:
a. What is the purpose of computing descriptive statistics? Why should we include these with graphical displays of a data set?
b. Which measure of central tendency and variability should be reported when an unusual data value is present in the data set? Explain?
c. The 95% confidence interval for sodium content level in 32 nursing home patients is (4.250 mg/day, 4,750 mg/day). What does this confidence interval tell us?
d. Differentiate between range, interquartile range, standard deviation, degrees of freedom.

2. SPSS Assignment (80 points)
Dr. Koestler read the mixed method article “Piloting Virtual Clinical Site Visits in a Family Nurse Practitioner Program”, written by Bice & Parker (2019) and decided to replicate the quantitative aspect of the study.

1. Use the data to prepare the following in SPSS
a. Measures of central tendency
b. Measures of variability
c. Confidence interval
d. Test for Normality
2. Run a descriptive analysis for the two variables “Type of Faculty Visit” and “Student Grades”.
a. [analyze-descriptive statistics-explore}. Add student grades to the dependent list -add Type of faculty Visit to the factor list- click on plots -choose histogram- click on normality plots with tests-click continue
b. Examine the kurtosis & skewness for the 3 types of faculty visits. Determine if any of them are normally distributed by:
i. Reading and explaining the Kolmorgorov-Smirnov & Shapiro Wilk scores
ii. Examining and explaining the Q-Q plots
iii. Viewing and explaining the box and whisker graph
3. Run an output for the variable “Student Grades” and determine the range, mean and standard deviation
4. Determine whether face-to-face or virtual visits impact student grades and explain why you think this.
5. The authors in the study collected quantitative data from nurse faculty and qualitative opinions from the FNP students. Offer your opinion in relation to the qualitative findings of Bice & Parker (2019) and share your thoughts about the participants perceptions.
6. Classify the variables as nominal, ordinal, interval or ratio (age, gender, professional preparation, years in practice)
7. Run outputs for frequency data: age, gender, professional preparation and years of practice
8. Create pie charts for the survey questions 1,2&3
a. [analyze-descriptive statistics-frequencies-add all three questions to the variable box-click on charts-pie charts-percentages-continue]
b. View all three pie charts and compare your findings with the Bice & Parker (2019) reported results. Are they similar or different, elaborate?
9. Submit the output and your written responses to assignment portal by due date
