Description

Perioperative Patient Education Poster

You are required to develop an educational poster to communicate information to patients
undergoing a surgical procedure. You may choose from a number of topics (see topic selection
below). You need to seek evidence from sources such as research papers, systematic reviews,
scholarly articles, textbooks, and medical-health related websites to ensure comprehensive
evidence-based support for your topic.
The poster must include the following:
• Introduction – establish the significance/rationale for the patient education poster
• Educational content supported with evidence based information and photographs to
enhance the educational poster
• Conclusion
• Reference list
Each poster will be assessed on the quality of the information presented as well as visual literacy (ability to
attract the reader’s attention, convey information and generate discussion).

Topics: choose from one (1) of the following topics:

1. Postoperative management of pain and discomfort
2. Potential for alteration in respiratory function postoperatively
3. Potential for wound infection in the patient undergoing aortic valve replacement
4. Pre-operative patient education for a patient undergoing an aortic valve replacement
5. Transition in care for a patient post aortic valve replacement surgery going home
6. The perioperative journey for a patient undergoing an aortic valve replacement

Write a 1,050- to 1,200-word paper about the relationship between child maltreatment and delinquency.

Include the following in your paper:

• A discussion about the association between child maltreatment and delinquency

• A discussion about how the involvement of Child Protective Services potentially impacts the trajectory of delinquency. Consider both negative and positive influences in your discussion
• A minimum 3 peer-reviewed sources

Format your paper consistent with APA guidelines

1.  Discuss and evaluate the effectiveness of the three following patrol methods:  directed, hot-spot, and zero-tolerance.  Additionally, discuss which are more likely to encourage community support of law enforcement efforts.

2.  Discuss the four approaches (Per Capita, Minimum Staffing, Authorized Level, & Work-load Based) to police officer staffing and allocation. In your opinion which one is the most effective and why?

Minimum length is 400 words

Initial response must include at least two (2) academic references in APA format.  

Qualitative Methodologies

Qualitative methodologies involve collecting non-numerical data, usually through interviews or observation. There are many approaches to qualitative research and no fully agreed upon “list” of methodologies. The text (Malec and Newman, 2013) describes six approaches in Section 3.1. The Frank and Polkinghorne (2010) article also describes three main qualitative approaches. The best way to learn about a variety of qualitative research methods is to read reports or articles of research around a topic you are interested in.

Instructions:

For your initial post, choose two articles that use a qualitative research method to answer a research question on your topic of interest. Remember that qualitative research is exploratory in nature, and is used to go deeper into issues of interest and explore nuances related to the problem at hand. Common data collection methods used in qualitative research include group discussions, focus groups, in-depth interviews, and uninterrupted observations. Data analysis typically involves identifying themes or categories, or providing in- depth descriptions of the data. Use the Anderson (2006) and Lee (1992) articles to obtain a better understanding of what qualitative research includes.

• Briefly describe the particular qualitative research approach/methodology utilized in each of the two articles you selected (e.g. case study, ethnographic study, phenomenological study, etc.).
• Refer to the week’s readings (or recommended articles) to help you explain.
• Compare and contrast the two qualitative methods used:
  • What is the same and what is different and why?
  • Does either methods seem a good fit to explore your topic of interest?
  • Why/why not?

Post should be at least 300 words.Resources

Important Guidelines

1. Your score will be determined using the Critical Legal Thinking Case Study Rubric. Please read this rubric thoroughly before attempting this assignment.
2. Your score will be determined by evaluation of your substantive content. Your analysis and solutions must be based on the principles of law, ethics, and business—not on your opinions. You must describe how the application of the principles to the key facts supports your determination of the issues. In other words, you need to show the reasoning behind your decision.
3. Key facts are those facts that determine if the principles of law are met. You must demonstrate that you recognize the key facts in this case. List the key facts individually. Do not simply repeat or retype the factual scenario.
4. The length of your response has no bearing on your score. There is no minimum or limit, however, most responses will be between two and three substantial pages.
5. Your assignment must be prepared using the APA format. See the Student Resources page for more information about APA styling.

Ron supervises delivery of flowers for a wholesale distributor of fresh flowers, Flowers. Inc. In order to accommodate one of the company’s best customers, Ron offers to immediately rush a delivery of fresh peonies. All of the delivery trucks are currently out on delivery. Ron directs an employee, Ruth, to use her own vehicle to deliver the flowers.
Ruth carelessly parks her car on a steep hill, leaving the car in neutral and failing to engage the parking brake. The car rolls down the hill, knocking down an electric line. The sparks from the broken line ignite a grass fire. The fire spreads until it reaches a gasoline station one mile away. There is a tanker truck off-loading gasoline to the station’s gas tanks. The fire ignites the gasoline being pumped into the tanks, and one of the tanks explodes, causing part of the station structure to fall on and injure a passing motorist, Jim.

1. Can Jim recover damages from Ruth; from Flowers’ Inc? Why or why not?
2. Identify the cause of action. Discuss each element of the cause of action, and relate them to your assessment of whether Jim has a cause of action against Ruth.
3. Discuss the legal doctrine under which Jim might also recover from Flowers, Inc.

Has to follow this format:

-the applicable areas of law 

-Identify the applicable principles of law 

– the key facts 

-Apply the law to the facts to resolve the issue 

– APA Format; Organization; and grammar, punctuation, and spelling 

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.
