You are a Training Specialist hired by Universal Medical Supplies, Inc. This organization has been experiencing low productivity and errors in communication in the workplace. As part of an ongoing professional development series, the Vice President of the Human Resources department has tasked you with creating Critical Thinking training materials. The materials will be presented in many forms and by various means to help improve productivity and communication in the organization.

For a short training presentation during a regional meeting, you have been asked to create a 3- to 5-minute video presentation illustrating the differences between deductive and inductive argument.

Instructions

Use PowerPoint and a video recording program such as Screencast-O-Matic to create a training video that is 3-5 minutes in length and includes the following elements:

· Bullet points with brief text that outlines deductive reasoning.

· Bullet points with brief text that outlines inductive reasoning.

· Clip art or images to accompany your text. You may use characters, cartoons, drawing tools, or other technologies to be creative.

· Narration related to the bullet points to explain:

· The principles underlying both deductive and inductive reasoning.

· Clear examples of both deductive and inductive reasoning in a workplace setting.

· References to your sources at the end of the video.

Your PowerPoint

Slide 1) Title slide 

Slides 2-3) Deductive reasoning. You’ll want to provide an example or two. Talk about the value of deduction and why it’s useful. 

Slides 4-5) Inductive reasoning. Again, provide an example or two. Discuss the value of induction and how it is used. 

Slide 6) References. Yes, they count.

Read the following case study and answer the reflective questions.  Please provide evidence-based rationales for your answers.  APA, 7th ed. must be followed.  

This week’s discussion is a two-fold discussion. First, explain the role of the Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner as it relates to the scope of psychotherapy. Second, explain how this week’s discussion aligns with the following APNA standard:

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 source 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 at least two additional responses to peers on another day(s). The answers to classmates must be posted by Sunday, 11:59 p.m. Eastern Time. We expect each student to participate in the discussion board respectfully.

Please review the rubric before posting to ensure a maximum of points. Here are the categories of the new discussion rubric:

Professor and class,

 

Collecting, analyzing, interpretating, and presenting data is statistics (Zach, 2022). Understanding your data is key to statistics, not over computing calculations (Holmes et al., 2017). Working on a medical/surgical unit, two different forms of data that I work with are daily blood pressure and temperature checks on my patients to assess their condition and overall health. Temperature checks can alert staff of an indication of infection, and or hypothermia. Blood pressure checks will provide knowledge of hypertension, hypotension, hypervolemia, hypovolemia, and sepsis. The average patient to nurse workload is eight to ten patients per shift. These are both classified as quantitative data related to numerical measurements and values. Blood pressure is usually classified as continuous due to having an infinite number of values within a range with a normal blood pressure of 120/80. Whereas temperatures are discrete due to being measured in finite increments such as tenths of a degree. Temperatures level of measurement is Interval due to being quantitative, can be ordered, meaningful differences between data can be collected and does not have an inherent zero, it is just a position on the scale. Blood pressure is measured on a ratio scale related to the numbers are equal in magnitude and rank on a numerical scale that has an absolute 0. The type of sampling used is cluster due to dividing the population into groups and selecting all the patients in one cluster but not the whole population.
