INSTRUCTION

 

Your son is graduating from high school and is about to enter the work force. He has developed a strong curiosity about our economic system and how it works. Because you have a good understanding of basic economics, he has asked you to explain several concepts that are essential to an understanding of how the economy works. Your son has asked you to explain the following concepts and ideas:

  • Absolute and comparative advantage: Explain how these concepts describe the benefits and costs of international trade.
  • “Invisible hand”: What is it and how does it affect the decision-making process in our economic system?
  • Circular flow diagram: Include the government sector in your explanation, a description of the roles that each participant plays in the economy, and how the different sectors interact in the markets.
  • The Production Possibilities model: Provide an example and include a summary of what the model is illustrating and the economic implications for the economy.
  • Microeconomics and macroeconomics: Explain the differences between the two and why economics is divided into these two subdivisions.

 

  • Prepare a 5-6 page Microsoft Word document that addresses the above-noted concerns and meets APA standards.
  • Include a summary section in your report that contains 5-7 bullet points identifying your major findings or conclusions of your paper.

RESEARCH CRITIQUES

Prepare this assignment as a 1,500-1,750 word paper using the instructor feedback from the previous course assignments and the guidelines below.

PICOT Question 

Revise the PICOT question you wrote in the Topic 1 assignment using the feedback you received from your instructor.

The final PICOT question will provide a framework for your capstone project (the project students must complete during their final course in the RN-BSN program of study).

Research Critiques

In the Topic 2 and Topic 3 assignments, you completed a qualitative and quantitative research critique on two articles for each type of study (4 articles total). Use the feedback you received from your instructor on these assignments to finalize the critical analysis of each study by making appropriate revisions.

The completed analysis should connect to your identified practice problem of interest that is the basis for your PICOT question.

Refer to "Research Critiques and PICOT Guidelines – Final Draft." Questions under each heading should be addressed as a narrative in the structure of a formal paper.

Proposed Evidence-Based Practice Change

Discuss the link between the PICOT question, the research articles, and the nursing practice problem you identified. Include relevant details and supporting explanation and use that information to propose evidence-based practice changes.

General Requirements

You are required to cite a minimum of three peer-reviewed sources to complete this assignment. Sources must be published within the last 5 years, appropriate for the assignment criteria, and relevant to nursing practice.  

  that can lead to cervical cancer decreased by 51% among girls aged 15–19 years and by 31% among women aged 20–24 years at up to 9 years after vaccination began (The National Cancer Institute, 2019). HPV vaccines prevent infection with HPV types 16 and 18, two  that cause about 70% of cervical cancers and an even higher percentage of some of the other HPV-caused cancers (The National Cancer Institute, 2019).

Proposed Evidence Based Practice Change

A potential practice change that I could implement in my clinical area is educate parents about HPV, HPV vaccine and possible complications that can occur without the vaccination. Educating parents about how cervical cancer is a cause from HPV and how it can be fatal is a change that can potentially help parents agree to the HPV vaccine. Providing educational pamphlets to parents of high school students about HPV and how HPV educational interventions in schools help prevent HPV is a great change that can occur in school systems.

Ethical Considerations

Ethical considerations associated with the nursing research of the two qualitative research articles were that the researcher was able to respect anonymity and confidentiality of all of the participants who participated in depth interviews. The people who participated in group discussions were voluntarily participating in the group study and were attending at their own free will. When the interviewers conducted interviews they only assessed relevant components that pertained to the study topic. In the quantitative research the participants used a self-administrated questionnaire to answer questions. The self-administered questionnaire made it confidential and protected the participant’s privacy.

Conclusion

 The practice problem is that many parents are not educated about HPV and HPV vaccines, therefore cause low acceptance rates. Evidence supports the practice change that I will be implementing because education about HPV and HPV vaccines causes acceptability. Education will help HPV vaccination rates. It is vital to implement intervention strategies to improve vaccine uptake. Results provide valuable information for future HPV programs intended to increase not only knowledge about HPV and HPV vaccine but also vaccination rates. An important first step in increasing HPV vaccination rates among adolescent females in the United States is to improve knowledge levels among key groups influential to the adolescents' vaccination behaviors. Education and information on the HPV vaccine is required to avoid misconceptions among lower education level mothers and to improve its acceptance. Education intervention greatly improves HPV and HPV vaccine knowledge levels among parents, healthcare staff, and school staff members. Education interventions offer a relatively low effort and potentially effective strategy for increasing HPV vaccination (Reiter, 2011).

 Children are naturally high energy, but some have other problems which prevent them in being able to engage properly. ADHD makes a child sitting still is a challenge and difficulty resisting temptation (2021).  Doing homework or even sitting still long enough to eat can get a child scolded quite often. Social skills are absent with interrupting, grabbing, climbing, or speaking at the wrong times are other problems (2021).  The hope is they will grow out of it. Studies continue but believed to have the cause of genetics, exposure to toxic environmental factors such as lead (2021).  Other beliefs are from pregnant mothers drinking alcohol or smoking which can result in premature delivery with low birth rate (2021). Other views not supported are too much screen time or family problems. Medication is well known for treating ADHD but behavior therapy for both child and parents is helpful. As with any child having healthy habits of diet, exercise, and sleep is also recommended (2021).

 Autism spectrum disorder causes hardship when it comes to social interactions, communicating with others, behavior, and learning (Austims spectrum disorder, n.d.). It is a neurodevelopment disorder that may develop in early childhood. The cause of ASD is hereditary/genetics. Gene anomaly seems to be a common factor when a child is diagnosed with ASD. Symptoms can vary from case to case but overall include withdrawl from participation, having difficulty communicating effectively, repetitive behaviors, and expressing emotions when there is a change to a routine. Although there is currently no cure for ASD, therapies and behavioral interventions aid children to gain social and language skills that in return help with their behavior and emotional display. Medicine is use a treatment and not a cure for ASD. Medication helps in preventing seizures and negative behavior.
