Reflection
Consider the following:
Many business activities generate data that can be thought of as random. An example described in the textbook is the servicing of cars at an oil change shop. Each car entering the shop can be considered an experiment with random outcomes. A variable of interest in this experiment could be the amount of time necessary to service the car. Service time will vary randomly with each car. Often, we can capture the most relevant characteristics of a stochastic process with a simple probability distribution model. We can then analyze the model to make predictions and drive decisions. For instance, we could estimate the number of technicians the oil change shop needs to service demand on a Saturday afternoon.
 
Respond to the following questions:

What is a random variable? 
How would you differentiate a discrete from a continuous random variable?

A laptop manufacturing company has implemented a 2-step process to test the quality of each production batch. In the first step, a technician randomly selects 15 laptops from the batch and determines whether they meet specifications. The batch is considered acceptable provided no more than 1 laptop fails to meet specifications. Otherwise, the entire batch has to be tested in the second step. Historical data shows that 95% of the laptops produced adhere to specifications.
 
Reflect on the following in a minimum of 500 words:

1. What are the 4 characteristics of a binomial experiment?
2. Can we use a binomial distribution to model this process?
3. What is the probability that the entire batch unnecessarily has to be tested if in fact 95% of its laptops conform to specifications? (Hint: Use Excels =BINOMDIST() function to find the probability)
4. What is the probability that the batch is incorrectly accepted if only 75% of its laptops actually conform to specifications?
5.What situations in your organization might this type of analysis apply to? Explain.

Read the article using your chosen model of note taking (from Unit 2).
Using the identified article, provide the following information:

A title page in APA format
A 1-2 page summary-includes the APA reference for the article chosen.
An abstract for the article
A Thesis/Claim statement
Identify 2 additional articles (1 must be from the Herzing Library Database) that could be used to support the Thesis/Claim statement included in the summary.
Provide the APA reference for each article.

Set up the assignment as follows:

I. Title Page 
II. 1-2 page Summary 
III. Abstract 
IV. Thesis Claim Statement 
V. Article reference

1. Watch the film Red Flag by clicking through below. It will not open in this window. You have to watch it on YouTube. Either click on the direct link below or the hyperlink that says watch on YouTube.
2. After watching the film, complete the Red Flag assignment.

Choose four of the people interviewed in the film.
First summarize their experiences during the Russian Revolution and under Stalin. Provide detail. Explain why you chose them specifically.
Second explain what each of their individual experiences teaches you about the larger experience of Russians during the revolutionary era. Or in other words, make a larger historical generalization based on their experience. Here you may connect the film to other sources from the course (including the readings and lectures).
Format: This assignment should be a numbered list 1-4. For each numbered individual you should also have two bulleted or lettered points (the description and the generalization).
******Be sure that you do not simply cut and paste the information from the PBS film summary that is found here:

Assignments must be at least 500 words.
Assignment must include citations to the film. Use the following format: (Espar, 23:36). Always include the timestamp.
As always double space or lose points.

The purpose of this paper is to apply what the student has learned
about the evidence-based practice to a clinical practice observed in the clinical
setting during the NUR4150 clinical rotation.

 

To complete this
assignment, the student will choose a nursing practice observed during the
clinical rotation this semester. Once the topic has been chosen, the student
will check to see if the agency has a policy/procedure for the practice
observed. If the agency has a policy/procedure this will need to be cited in the
paper. If there is not a policy/procedure for the observed practice the need
for policy will be discussed in the paper. The student will then review the
literature to determine whether there is evidence to support the observed
practice.

 

The following are required elements for this paper. Please organize
the paper using the following headings (items in bold). Under each heading are
suggestions that will help the student when writing each section. This list not
a comprehensive but will provide guidance to the student.

 

 

Chosen topic: Oxygen
use in patients with COPD

 

●      
Nursing
Practice Observed (5pts)

○       
Clearly identify and describe the nursing
practice observed.

●      
Agency
Policy/Procedure (10pts)

○       
Does the agency have a policy and procedure in
place for the practice observed?

■      
If yes, identify how the actual practice does
or does not reflect the agency policy/procedure?

■      
 If not,
should a policy/procedure be developed for this practice? Student should
support position with evidence from the literature.

●      
Literature
Review (15 points)

○       
Summarize what the literature states about the
practice observed.

○    
A minimum of 3 Medical/Nursing Journal
articles less than 5 years old should be discussed in this section.

●      
Comparison
of Practice to Literature (20 points)

○       
Is the observed practice supported by the
literature?

○       
Discuss the support (or lack of support) from
the literature for the observed practice.

○       
If the evidence does not support the practice,
discuss possible reasons for the practice being performed this way at the agency.

●      
Barriers
to Implementation (10pts)

○       
If the policy is supported by the literature,
discuss potential barriers to successfully following the Policy/Procedure.

○       
If the policy/procedure is not supported by
the literature, discuss specific areas of the policy/procedure that are not
evidenced based and the barriers to implementing evidence-based practice as
identified in the literature.

○       
If no policy/procedure exists, discuss
barriers to implementing evidence based practice as identified in the literature

●      
Recommendations
for Change in Practice (10 pts)

○       
Discuss changes that could be made to help
nurses follow evidenced based practice as identified in the literature.

○       
Discuss how the agency Policy/Procedure could
be revised to support evidence-based practice.
