Review your problem or issue and the study materials to formulate a PICOT question for your capstone project change proposal. A PICOT question starts with a designated patient population in a particular clinical area and identifies clinical problems or issues that arise from clinical care. The intervention used to address the problem must be a nursing practice intervention. Include a comparison of the nursing intervention to a patient population not currently receiving the nursing intervention, and specify the timeframe needed to implement the change process. Formulate a PICOT question using the PICOT format (provided in the assigned readings) that addresses the clinical nursing problem.

The PICOT question will provide a framework for your capstone project change proposal.

In a paper of 500-750 words, clearly identify the clinical problem and how it can result in a positive patient outcome.

Describe the problem in the PICOT question as it relates to the following:

Evidence-based solution
Nursing intervention
Patient care
Health care agency
Nursing practice

Information Literacy

You must use this Research Resource Guide ( to access the following credible academic sources on the basis of your research:

books
dissertations
interviews
journals
magazines
videos

Websites and encyclopedic entries will not be counted as appropriate research sources. What is provided for you through the Research Resource Guide are the required, credible, peer-reviewed sources you will need for this assignment. If you are unsure of the legitimacy of any of your sources, please ask the instructor.

Demonstrate

– You must provide a clear thesis, which states what you hope to show about a specific work. For example, you may want to discuss a work of architecture and its relation to social and political ideas of the society that created it. If the artist’s biography is known, you may discuss how the work of art might relate to that biography.

– Provenance is the history of ownership. In addressing provenance, you answer: Was the work commissioned and why? If not, why was it made? What were the artist’s intentions?

– How do factors like the historical context and location shape the meaning of the work?

– Remember that in discussing style, you are often referring to a period style or regional style. You must also utilize formal analysis in your approach to communicating the work’s key features. Give attention to the materials and techniques the artist used to effectively communicate their ideas.

– The possibilities are endless, but you must demonstrate that you understand the interpretations of a work of art architecture. This should be responsive to the research you have encountered, and you may be expanding upon or arguing against previous research.

– You must include MLA citation style, with endnotes and a complete bibliography on two separate pages at the end of the paper. Your endnotes should be on their own page, as well as your bibliography. You don’t need to fill these two pages, but they should be on separate pages at the end of your paper. A full resource guide to MLA citation is also included in the Research Resource Guide.

Lab Report Guide for a Virtual Organism

This is a guide for writing your lab report. Lab reports are due Dec 11, 2020, when you take the Practical Exam. They should be submitted through Canvas (and checked by DropItIn for originality).

You will be writing a scientific paper which is unlike any history, English or philosophy paper. Your report should be written in prose and should follow APA format. Please pay attention to grammar, spelling and correctly writing the name of your organism. Plagiarized reports will result in an automatic F so write in your own words! The report should be 10 paragraphs (about 3-5 pages) long.

The paper is to be divided into sections. Each section must have its own heading. The Headings are:

  1. Title: Choose something descriptive, for example: Identification and analysis of Bacillus cereus
  2. Introduction: 1-2 paragraphs
    1. Assume you are a consultant to a medical laboratory. The lab tech calls you and says, “I have been given an unknown sample. What do I do?”
    2. Background information – A little information about what you tell the lab tech and why.
    3. Purpose objective – what was the purpose of your advice?
  3. Materials and methods: 1-2 paragraphs
    1. Written in prose (not as a list) include what should be used in order and how it would be done. Use the flow charts as a guide for which test would be done in which order. In your conversation with the lab tech, if there is a choice for direction of the flow chart (for example: Streptococcus versus Staphylococcus) describe WHY you went the direction you did. DO NOT INCLUDE RESULTS.
    2. This should be written so anyone could reproduce your procedure. Do NOT include unnecessary information such as ‘walk to the sink’. Remember that all this information is in a lab manual so if you can refer to that manual, do so without describing each step.
  4. Results: 1-2 paragraphs AND a table/graph or figure (pictures are acceptable).
    1. This is for all the tests that were done
    2. Include a table, flow chart, or figures of depicting your results (both positive and negative)
    3. Include text describing your results and the final outcome
  5. Discussion or conclusions: 2-3 paragraphs
    1. Analyze your data (explain what your results mean- did you confirm the correct organism?)
    2. Based on your knowledge as a consultant, describe any other experiment or procedure that you found that we did not cover in class that would be helpful in identifying the unknown. (what would you do differently next time, etc.)
    3. Discuss CLINICAL SIGNIFICANCE OF YOUR UNKNOWN! You will need to do some research and include this in your report with references to those cited in the next section (Dolan, and Vuilleumier, 2003; Eastwood, et al., 2001).
      1. Include the diseases/infections it causes
      2. Route of transmission
  • Treatment and prevention
  1. References
    1. You need at least 3 references. One may be a lab manual.
    2. Properly cited: use the APA format for referencing (including in the text). Examples of APA citations: (for more information visit http://www.apastyle.org/learn/tutorials/basics-tutorial.aspx for a tutorial)

Compare crime statistics for the region where the incident took place to national averages, noting differences.

/in /by

For the final course paper, which will relate to a Class, Race/Ethnicity or Gender Incident, you are asked to choose a recent incident or series of incidents in your hometown or state, in which class, race/ethnicity or gender were thought to be a factor in how the criminal justice system dealt with the issue. Try to stay as local to your city as possible in your choice of an incident or incidents. If this is not possible, then choose an incident from another city.

You are to imagine that you are a criminal justice consultant who has been asked by local government leadership to research the case and propose a set of strategies or interventions to prevent such an incident from taking place again. Note that you are not expected to investigate the case nor determine who is right or wrong in their actions. You are required to put your emotions aside. Within your paper, you are expected to deal with such factors as the reactions of the local community, law enforcement, and/or other criminal justice agencies or institutions (reactions to the incident…in regards to class, race/ethnicity, or gender).

Also include a comparison of your state or municipality crime statistics with those of the United States. Note especially those percentages or rates that are different from the national average. This analysis provides essential information for the analysis of the incident that you have selected. You may need to present your findings in tables, which you can attach to your project. You will submit a crime statistics project in Session 8, and include it in Paper.

Finally, you are expected to apply concepts and theories studied in this course to your analysis of the event(s), reactions to the event(s), and your recommendations.

Paper Objectives

To successfully complete the Class, Race/Ethnicity or Gender Incident project, you will be expected to:

1. Analyze your chosen incident, including descriptions of the reactions of community members, law enforcement, criminal justice agencies, and the media.

2. Recommend strategies or interventions that could prevent such incidents from happening again.

3. Compare crime statistics for the region where the incident took place to national averages, noting differences. (Use your stats from the assignment due in Session 8.)

4. Apply concepts and theories from the course toward your analysis of the incident.
5. State known facts about the incident and cite relevant research. Remember that you are to imagine that you are a criminal justice consultant who has been asked by local leadership to research the case and propose a set of strategies or interventions to prevent such an incident from taking place again. You are expected to write your paper from the viewpoint of a criminal justice consultant.
