1-    If you had the power to change anything in this class that is assessment related, what would you change and why?

2-    How will the concepts you learned in this class help you in your career? 

The student must answer the graded discussion with a substantive reply to the graded discussion question(s)/topic(s) posted by the course instructor by Thursday, 11:59 p.m. Eastern Time. Two scholarly sources references are required unless stated otherwise by your professor. 

The student provides a substantive response to the discussion question or topic on Thursday day and posts a minimum of two additional responses to peers on another day(s). The answers to classmates must be posted by Sunday, 11:59 pm Eastern Time. We expect each student to participate in the discussion board in a respectful manner. 

Remember that a new discussion rubric was approved by the professors, committee members, and a majority of the students. Please review the rubric before posting to ensure a maximum of points. 

Here are the categories of the new discussion rubric:

Initial Post relevance to the topic of discussion, applicability, and insight. (20%)

Quality of Written Communication Appropriateness of audience and words choice is specific, purposeful, dynamic, and varied. Grammar, spelling, punctuation. (20%)

Inclusion of APNA standards essentials explored in the discussion as well as the role-specific competencies as applicable.(10%)

Rigor, currency,  and relevance of the scholarly references. (Use articles that are below 5 years). (20%)

Peer & Professor Responses. The number of responses, quality of response posts. (20%)

Timeliness of the initial post and the answers to the peers. (10%

One of the most important social factors that has shaped professional nursing in the U.S. is the changing role and social status of women. In the past, nursing was seen as just another part of a woman’s day-to-day life. Nurses often had little or no formal training or professional designation (Leddy, 2022).

But with women’s civil and political rights advancing through movements such as the suffrage movement and feminism, nursing changed. With the emergence of professional nursing schools at the end of the 19th century and the beginning of the 20th, nursing became a respectable career choice for women (Leddy, 2022) .The nurses’ contributions during World War II further elevated their status as they demonstrated their ability and commitment in healthcare settings (Lloyd, 2023).

As women’s rights and opportunities increased, nursing became a profession with standardized training, certifications, and professional associations (Lloyd, 2023).

Today, nursing is a women’s profession, and advances in gender equality have had a major impact on shaping the modern nursing workforce in the United States with a focus on education, specialty, and professionalism (Leddy, 2022).

Design an experiment with one independent variable (with at least two levels) and one dependent variable. Additionally, what levels of measurement would you use when collecting your data?

Example: XYZ hospital wanted to increase compliance of staff using hand sanitizer after every interaction with a patient. In order to gain compliance, they set up a buzzer when staff exited the patient’s room. For the treatment group, a buzzer would ring for 1 second after exiting the room unless staff had pressed the hand sanitizer lever. The control group did not have the buzzer activated, so no sound would emit when exiting the patient’s room.

Independent Variable: Presence of a buzzer sound or not.

Dependent Variable: Number of times the hand sanitizer lever was pressed.

Level of Measurement: Ratio

In your responses to other students, identify a strength or weakness of another student’s example design.

Initial discussion question posts should be a minimum of 200 words and include at least two references cited using APA format. Responses to peers or faculty should be 100-150 words and include one reference. Refer to “HLT-362V Discussion Question Rubric” and “HLT-362V Participation Rubric,” located in Class Resources, to understand the expectations for initial discussion question posts and participation posts, respectively

Read the following case study an answer the reflective questions. Please provide evidence based practice rationals for your answers with scholarly references no older than 5 years APA 7th ed needs to be followed. 

CASE STUDY: Albert 

 Albert Mitchell is a 36-year-old man who will be traveling to Dubai to give a business presentation in 3 months. Although he has traveled widely in the United States as a consultant, this is his first trip to the Middle East. 

 He requests information regarding immunizations needed before his trip. Albert states that as he will be in Dubai for only a few days, he is unlikely to contract a disease in such a short time and therefore believes that it is illogical to obtain immunizations. 

 Albert states that he has heard that the side effects of the immunizations might be worse than the diseases they prevent. He is also concerned about leaving his wife at home alone because she is 6 months pregnant.

Reflective Questions

How would you address Albert’s beliefs? 

What learning would be needed in each domain?

What learning theories would you consider? 

How might his family concerns be addressed?
