Is nursing a basic science and/or applied science?

/0 Comments/in /by

I need a 2 page of paper in APA format:

Instructions:Nurse scholars have claimed that nursing is both a discipline and a profession. In order to understand these claims, we must first know what it means for nursing to have a “unique body of knowledge.” If we assume that nursing does, indeed, possess a unique body of knowledge, we can claim that nursing is a “basic science,” rather than an “applied science.” Despite these claims, debate continues about nursing as discipline, profession, and science. Is nursing a discipline? A profession? Is nursing a basic science and/or applied science? In your initial post, state what you think about nursing as discipline, profession, and science. Explore the literature beyond that assigned to you for this week’s readings to help you formulate your position. Include your reference(s) in both your initial post and your reply posts. You should include the following:What is a discipline? What is a profession? What’s the difference? What are examples of each?Does nursing fit the criteria for a “discipline” and “profession”?What is a “basic science”? What is an “applied science”? What’s the difference?Is nursing a “basic” or “applied” science? Support your statements with scholarly references. You may use those from the assigned readings on the course Blackboard site, but you must also select and use (via your literature search) a minimum of 1 reference outside of assigned readings.
Present your posts and replies in a professional, scholarly manner. Use the APA publication manual to format citations and references.

Please follow the instruction and answer all question.

Discussion, as you examine personality disorders, consider therapeutic approaches you might use with clients

/0 Comments/in /by

Clients with personality disorders often find it difficult to overcome their problems and function in daily life. Even when these clients are aware that they have a dysfunction with their personality and are open to counseling, treatment can be challenging for both the client and the therapist. For this Discussion, as you examine personality disorders, consider therapeutic approaches you might use with clients.

Analyze therapeutic approaches to treating clients with personality disorders Select one of the personality disorders from the DSM-5. Write a 2 page paper of the personality disorder you selected. Explain a therapeutic approach (including psychotropic medications if appropriate) you might use to treat a client presenting with this disorder, including how you would share your diagnosis of this disorder to the client in order to avoid damaging the therapeutic relationship. Support your approach with evidence-based literature. APA format at least three evidenced-based references.

 

Provide a brief introductory paragraph identifying and discussing the DSM disorder you have selected (furnish appropriate APA citations and References).

Per the Course Project Overview outlined in Module 1, you have selected a mental disorder to be the focus of your efforts.  As part of your course project, you will conduct field research on the practice related to your selected disorder. In your field research, you will interview a mental health professional to learn about the practice related to diagnosing and treating the disorder. In this assignment, you will prepare for the interview.

  • Provide a brief introductory paragraph identifying and discussing the DSM disorder you have selected (furnish appropriate APA citations and References).
  • Write ten interview questions that will bring out the information you need.
  • Formulate questions that ensure an appropriate understanding of the disorder. These questions should assist in differentiating the chosen disorder from those found within and outside its parent category.

Tips for approaching your future Interview with a Mental Health Professional
Ideally, you will select a mental health professional in your local area whom you can interview in person. However, if this is not possible, you may choose to select a mental health professional who is located in another city or state. Some students who live in remote areas may choose to contact state or national mental health-related organizations to find potential interviewees. Such organizations include:

In that case, you would conduct a phone interview.
Ensure that the person you interview has a background in the disorder you are studying.

Describe identifying characteristics and number of individuals, dyads, groups, or units in the study.

Draft Description of Target Population

In this section of the methodology, you will describe the study participants, how they provide data, how they will be recruited into the study, and any ethical considerations important to the planning of the proposed investigation.

Write your research question at the top of the post. Include the following sections:

Target Population:

  1. Describe identifying characteristics and number of individuals, dyads, groups, or units in the study.
  2. Describe your inclusion and exclusion criteria.
  3. Describe your recruitment strategy.
  4. Describe your sampling strategy.
  5. Describe ethical considerations pertinent to the protection of subject or participant vulnerabilities.
Tips:
  1. When writing about the target population, imagine that you are trying to convince a panel of experts to fund your proposed research. Have you thought about contingencies regarding the nature of the population? Do you have criteria that will support your effort to get data that is clean, free of unnecessary variables or distractions? For instance, if you are collecting data from single mothers, will it help or hinder your study to include single mothers who have a history of major depression? This kind of decision making characterizes the planning of inclusion and exclusion strategies.
  2. Quantitative and qualitative studies have different sampling designs: randomized sampling strategies are typically quantitative; purposive strategies are typically qualitative. Be sure that you know which strategies suit your research question.
  3. Recruitment refers to how participants are invited into the study. Explain your plans in a way that other researchers could follow; if the study is quantitative, others should be able to replicate your study like a recipe. If the study is qualitative, the goal is to provide a trail of evidence that another researcher could follow. The trail is presented as a resource that takes subsequent researchers through the steps that led to interpretations of findings.
  4. Ethical considerations are built on the principle that a researcher must do no harm. Privacy needs of participants, including secure data storage, must be addressed. Depending on the type of research planned, contingencies must be considered. Employees’ jobs must not be jeopardized; pseudonyms are recommended and other support strategies may be needed.

•Analyze the rhetorical strategies of ethos, pathos, logos in writing samples and for incorporation into essays or presentations.

What are the cultural considerations for co-sleeping practices?

/0 Comments/in /by

Child-rearing presents as a set of culturally bound practices that can complement or conflict with research and health promotional practices. The practice of co-sleeping and the risk reduction practices for sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS) have become conflictual in recent years. In preparation for this discussion, review Mother-Baby Behavioral Sleep Laboratory and SIDS and Other Sleep-Related Infant Deaths: Expansion of Recommendations for a Safe Infant Sleeping Environment for information on each side of this argument. You may locate resources on this topic on your own.
In your initial post for this discussion, formulate a research-supported position on co-sleeping regarding risks versus benefits. Should co-sleeping be discouraged? Are there specific developmental advantages supported by research for co-sleeping? What are the cultural considerations for co-sleeping practices? Are the risks for co-sleeping (either social, emotional, or health-related) significantly supported by research to take a position against co-sleeping? Consider what you would advise as a professional in the promotion of optimal development.

describe the strengths and weaknesses of  research on death row inmates.

/0 Comments/in /by

Psychologists conducting research using historical and  contemporary data must make sure that different demographic populations  of offenders are not compared with each other. For example, when  studying crime rates, much more information can be gleaned by separating  male and female offenders, offenders from different age groups, and  offenders from different socioeconomic strata.

Using the module readings and the Argosy University  online library resources, describe the strengths and weaknesses of  research on death row inmates.

Write your initial response in approximately 300 words. Apply APA standards to cite sources.
