Polypharmacy refers to using five or more medications based on a review of current data. Aging places individuals at risk of multi-morbidity (coexistence of 2 or more chronic health conditions) due to associated physiological and pathological changes and increases the chances of being prescribed multiple medications.

Significant subjective and objective data
Ms. Z is a 28-year-old assistant store manager who arrives at your outpatient clinic complaining of sadness after her boyfriend of 6 months ended their relationship 1 month ago. She describes a history of failed romantic relationships, and says, “I don’t do well with breakups.” Ms. Z reports that, although she has no prior psychiatric treatment, she was urged by her employer to seek therapy. Ms. Z has arrived late to work on several occasions because of oversleeping. She also has difficulty in getting out of bed stating, “It’s difficult to walk; it’s like my legs weigh a ton.” She feels fatigued during the day despite spending over 12 hours in bed and is concerned that she might be suffering from a serious medical condition. She denies any significant changes in appetite or weight since these symptoms began.
Ms. Z reports that, although she has not missed workdays, she has difficulty concentrating and has become tearful in front of clients while worrying about not finding a significant other. She feels tremendous guilt over “not being good enough to get married,” and says that her close friends are concerned because she has been spending her weekends in bed and not answering their calls. Although during your evaluation Ms. Z appeared tearful, she brightened up when talking about her newborn nephew and her plans of visiting a college friend next summer. Ms. Z denied suicidal ideation.

Results of a data analysis project
Conduct, interpret, and present results of a data analysis project. Your final deliverable for this Signature Assignment
will be formatted as a written narrative for a PowerPoint presentation (do not complete a powerpoint).
You will use this dataset to identify variables, write hypotheses, create an analysis plan, conduct descriiptive and inferential analyses in SPSS, and summarize
and interpret results.
The written narrative should contain the following information:
Identify the variables provided in your chosen dataset.
Be sure to note the level of measurement of each variable.
Propose at least three (4) hypotheses, which you can test in this dataset.
Prepare an analysis plan for each hypothesis (i.e., how will you analyze data to test each hypothesis).
Identify the appropriate descriiptive analysis required for your target variables.
Describe ways in which you will test your data for assumptions (e.g., normality, outliers, skewness, kurtosis, etc.)…

THE APPLICATION OF DATA TO PROBLEM-SOLVING
Consider a hypothetical scenario based on your own healthcare practice or organization that would require or benefit from the access/collection and application of data. Your scenario may involve a patient, staff, or management problem or gap.
Post a description of the focus of your scenario. Describe the data that could be used and how the data might be collected and accessed. What knowledge might be derived from that data? How would a nurse leader use clinical reasoning and judgment in the formation of knowledge from this experience?
Database design
When database design is done correctly, it will ease system development and implementation. It will also create fewer performance problems in post-implementation. List some common mistakes designers make that you will try to avoid.
Engines or databases
What search engines or databases are you using to identify the articles for your Article Summary assignments?
What keywords are you using for your search?
Have they been effective in finding articles that are relevant to your clinical practice? Include rationale.
Should all clinical data be made available to the public?
Respond to the following:
Should all clinical data be made available to the public? Why or why not? Research and provide examples of how patient data that has been made public has been used. Defend your answer by citing 3 reputable sources.
Market Data
Consider a segment of the fast food industry such as pizza (Domino’s, Papa Johns) or burgers (McDonalds, Wendys), fried chicken, and so on. To ground your thinking, list the names of 5 companies from the segment you choose. Respond to the following:
