consideringhypothesesandresearchquestions.docx

In this assignment, you will write a paper that analyzes a scenario and explains the purpose of hypotheses and research questions.

Step 1: Read the following scenario.

You are a nurse on 5 West who has concerns about visiting hours in the Critical Care Unit. The unit currently has a visiting-hours policy that allows patients to rest and the staff to provide care in an environment that protects patient privacy and modesty. However, many nurses now feel that family presence improves patient outcomes. You and other nurses on your unit have noted that vital signs are improved and patients are more responsive when family is present. You are considering whether to use a quantitative or qualitative study to research this topic.

Step 2: Consider the following questions:

· What is the purpose of hypotheses and research questions?
· Why is it important to develop workable hypotheses and research questions in conducting research?
· What type of research—qualitative or quantitative—would be most conducive to the scenario in Step 1? Why?
· Which would be more appropriate given the scenario in Step 1: the development of a hypothesis or a research question or both? Why?
·
Step 3: Write a two-four page paper.

· Write a paper that describes the purpose of hypotheses and research questions. Articulate the importance of developing workable hypotheses and research questions in conducting research. Based on the provided scenario, describe whether a qualitative or quantitative research study would be most appropriate and why. Explain whether, and why, you would develop a hypothesis or a central research question for this scenario.

Midterm Paper
Utilizing class materials and individual research students will write a 5-6 page paper which examines an important Supreme Court case. The paper will consider the effect of the case on our criminal justice system and on our overall criminal justice policies.
All papers should be fully referenced with in-text citations and a complete reference page that
follows APA citation guidelines. All papers should have an introductory and concluding
paragraph. Please note that grammar, spelling, and good writing are key components of this assignment.
Students should provide subheadings for the following when writing their paper:
o
Introduction: An introductory paragraph which introduces the reader to the student’s
topic and provides an overview on what the student’s reader will learn by reading his/her
paper. It should have three basic elements: a) a topic sentence which defines the topic
and “grabs” the reader (i.e., the attention getter); b) a thesis statement which is the
argument that will be presented (i.e., the main point of the paper), and c) outline
sentences which describe the main topics in the “body” (i.e. other) paragraphs.
o
Summary: Students must read, comprehend, analyze and summarize a Supreme Court
Case. They must research relevant literature on their case topic, using information from
previous courses, as well information gathered from systematic research. What were the facts of the case, what was the Court’s decision, and what was the basis for the Court’s decision? Students should carefully consider previous cases, existing statutory law, etc.
(LO 1 &LO 2).
o
Policy Impact: Students must put forth a reasonable and empirically substantiated
argument and demonstrate how the case impacts criminal justice policy and practitioners.
Students must understand the rationale for its basis and be able, not only to apply the
theoretical model to an area of the criminal justice system, such as policing, the
judiciary/courts (including the prosecutor and defense offices), or corrections, but be able
to show how the Court’s decision impacts current practices, in addition to their own
career. Students should discuss the case’s impact on criminal justice policy by reviewing
its theoretical and practical implications for criminal justice professionals. Students will
research how this new law has affected criminal justice practice. For example, how did
police practices change after Miranda? How it did affect potential suspects? What do
scholars say about its significance? This part should be well researched and it is
recommended that the students utilize journals to acquire their information. Students are
required to cite properly according to APA guidelines with both in-text citations and a full
reference page (LO 1, LO 2 & LO 3).
o
Summary Statement: Students should devise an argument agreeing or disagreeing with the Supreme Court decision. When writing this portion of the paper, which is persuasive, students should use facts of law, legal precedent, scientific data, etc., to substantiate their position, without writing in the “I” format (LO 2 & LO 3)

MY NUMBER ASSIGNED WAS 1 WHICH IS:  **What is the nurse’s responsibility with a perspective organ donation?  What are some absolute contraindications for donation, and what is the difference between organ and tissue donation?
Each student will be assigned a number randomly.  Whatever your number is, select the corresponding topic below, then post a minimum of 5 bullet points about the topic.  
Your bullet points should address key components of the topic, such as what, how, who, & why.  This information should not be basic things you learned in Med/Surg, but rather advanced critical care based.

As a nurse in the ICU, a human-technology interface that I frequently use is the clinical monitor. Every ICU patient is hooked up to the monitor so the nurses can watch their vital signs. The monitor has ports to plug in different devices that measure vital signs, such as the blood pressure cuff, pulse ox, ECG, temperature probe, and various hemodynamic monitoring devices. The monitor is essential in the intensive care setting to ensure that patients remain stable. However, this technology needs improvement because the constant alarming of clinical monitors causes alarm fatigue. “Alarm fatigue, a desensitization caused by excessive alarms, causes nurses to turn off or mute alarms and slowing their response times because a large number of nonactionable alarms causes nurses to lose trust in the alarms” (Wang et al., 2023, p. 5532).
The clinical monitor interface should be improved to alleviate alarm fatigue and improve patient safety. Nurses could change clinical parameters for alarms based on each individual patient’s needs. Nurses could also wear a smart device that links to the monitor that personally notifies the nurse when there is an alarm. If the nurse is notified with a wearable device, they would be less likely to miss a life-saving alarm. Another solution would be to have flashing lights outside of the patient rooms to notify nurses in case noise pollution prevents them from hearing the alarm. Alarm fatigue is a serious problem that causes nurses to miss critical changes in patients, and a solution needs to be found.

Describe a human-technology interface that you have encountered in healthcare that you think needs improving.
In labor and delivery, I believe the fetal monitoring system we have developed over the years is something that could use improving. Miesnik (2002) states, “The use of technology is not benign. As with any health care intervention, there are associated risks and benefits. The practitioner needs to constantly consider the benefits of the technology versus the naturalistic birth experience. The use of technology should optimize birth outcomes while maintaining a balance that provides for the best possible human birth experience.”
2. Describe what you would specifically like to see changed about this technology and why?
I believe that fetal monitoring in the process of labor and delivery is very important as it helps to ensure a safe delivery of the baby and is a direct access to see if the babies are in distress while still int he womb. However, in a hospital setting we seem to feel the need to continuously monitor the patients. A lot of times this decreases the patient’s mobility, and a lot of time hinders movement during the delivery process which can help patients get the baby in the correct position for delivery. What I have seen some facilities do is in the early stages of labor do intermittent monitoring which allows the patients frequent mobility and allows for an easier transition through labor.
