  • This may include: unit-level or organizational-level presentations, poster presentations, and podium presentations at organizational, local, regional, state, and national levels, as well as publication in peer-reviewed journals.
• Reflect on which type of dissemination strategy you might use to communicate EBP.

Then Post a discussion post of at least two dissemination strategies you would be most inclined to use and explain why. Explain which dissemination strategies you would be least inclined to use and explain why. Identify at least two barriers you might encounter when using the dissemination strategies you are most inclined to use. Be specific and provide examples. Explain how you might overcome the barriers you identified. please provide at least 3 references

Mixed methods research designs combine quantitative and qualitative research methods to answer research questions requiring both perspectives. Describe the pros and cons of a mixed method research design. Please include 400 words in your initial post with two scholarly references by Wednesday midnight. Please answer two peers by Saturday midnight with 200 words. 

Describe the problem or issue that your project will address.

• What is the context or “big picture” of the problem or issue?
• What is the significance of this problem?
• Where does this problem “live” that is, what is the “neighborhood” like?

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.  

Think about this as a group effort to create a study guide. Use ONLY your textbook, but do not cut & paste from the book.  

Then create, find, or borrow a test style question about your topic & post at the bottom of your bullet points. The format needs to be multiple choice or select all that apply. Think NCLEX style.  

PART 2:

Part 2:

Interview:You will take a few minutes and ask 2 people about their personal coping mechanisms for dealing with the stress of working in healthcare during this unique time of Covid. Stress can be physical, emotional, spiritual, or any combination of triggers. Ask a diverse variety of people, don’t forget those in other departments at different points of hierarchy. For example, ask your unit manager, environmental services, volunteers, patients, fellow nurses, etc. Write 2-3 paragraphs on your findings and impressions while respecting the person’s identity.

Given the critical role of fluid, electrolyte, and acid-base balance in maintaining overall health, how can nurse practitioners effectively assess and identify subtle imbalances in their patients? What are the key factors to consider when developing individualized treatment plans?
