A researcher predicts that listening to music while solving math problems will make a particular brain area more active. To test this, a research participant has her brain scanned while listening to music and solving math problems, and the brain area of interest has a percentage signal change of 58. From many previous studies with this same math problems procedure (but not listening to music), it is known that the signal change in this brain area is normally distributed with a mean of 35 and a standard deviation of 10. (a) Using the .01 level, what should the researcher conclude?

Distinguish between Advanced Nursing Practice (ANP) and the Advanced Practice Nurse (APN). Briefly define advance nursing practice and the four roles in advanced practice nursing pertaining to clinical practice, primary care, education, administration, and health information. Discuss the role you intend to acquire through SUO (South University). Include experiences and/or qualities you have that have influenced your decision. Include your personal philosophy. Develop a minimum of ten questions that you would like to ask the advanced practice clinician or non-clinician that you have chosen to interview. Identify in the paper the individual by name, credentials, position and your planned date for the interview (Interview write up is due Week 3). Create a 2–4-page paper (excluding the title page and references). Literature should be used, and points are assigned. Peer reviewed articles that are non-research and nursing organization websites may be used. All articles must be current (not more than five years old, unless it is a hallmark reference; e.g., Institute of Medicine (IOM) (2010). The Future of Nursing: Leading Change, Advancing Health. Format your paper, citations, and references using correct APA Style.

A discussion about one of the videos you watched, either for client Eddie, Ms. Clark, or Leann.  You will find a link for the videos within this week’s folder.  After viewing the video, answer the following questions on a new thread: Name the Stage of Change for this client and if not in the Action Phase, how could you motivate this client to engage treatment?

A discussion about one of the videos you watched, either for client Eddie, Ms. Clark, or Leann.  You will find a link for the videos within this week’s folder.  After viewing the video, answer the following questions on a new thread:
Name the Stage of Change for this client and if not in the Action Phase, how could you motivate this client to engage treatment?
Barsky (2006) says, “A client could be an individual, family, group, organization, or community,” (p. 117) and provides some guidelines for you to consider when making this determination.  Using these concepts of your reading, who would you define as the client?  Justify your answer with the readings/lecture and information in the video. (This reading is located in Module 3 if you want a refresher.)
As you envision this client, what resources would you use to develop an initial assessment? Who else would you want to reach out to for additional information, with client permission?
What strengths does this client (individual, family, group, organization, or community) possess that can be mobilized to gain help and healing?Ms. Clark case example: Watch this video of client Ms. Clark
Leann case example: Watch this video of client Leann

While the implementation plan prepares students to apply their research to the problem or issue they have identified for their capstone project change proposal, the literature review enables students to map out and move into the active planning and development stages of the project. A literature review analyzes how current research supports the PICOT, as well as identifies what is known and what is not known in the evidence. Students will use the information from the earlier PICOT Question Paper and Literature Evaluation Table assignments to develop 900 words review that includes the following sections: Title page Introduction section A comparison of research questions A comparison of sample populations A comparison of the limitations of the study A conclusion section, incorporating recommendations for further research
