Enhancing Patient Care Through Implementation of Evidence-Based Practices

In this assignment, students will pull together the capstone project change proposal components they have been working on throughout the course to create a proposal inclusive of sections for each content focus area in the course. For this project, the student will apply evidence-based research steps and processes required as the foundation to address a clinically oriented problem or issue in future practice.
Develop a 2,500-3,000-word written project that includes the following information as it applies to the problem, issue, suggestion, initiative, or educational need profiled in the capstone change proposal:
1. Background of clinical problem
2. Clinical problem statement (Topic 3 assignment)
3. Purpose of the change proposal in relation to providing patient care in the changing health care system (Topic 2 assignment)
4. PICOT question (Topic 3 assignment)
5. Literature search strategy employed (Topic 4 assignment)
6. Synthesis of literature review (Topic 6 assignment)
7. Applicable change or nursing theory utilized (Topic 4 DQ 2)
8. Proposed implementation plan with outcome measures (Topic 5 assignment)
9. Plan for evaluating the proposed nursing intervention (Topic 6 assignment)
10. Identification of potential barriers to plan implementation, and a discussion of how these could be overcome (Topic 5 DQ 2 and any other barriers that have not yet been considered)
11. Appendix section: Update the Capstone Change Project Evaluation plan developed in Topic 7 as needed. Include it as Appendix A. Additional items developed for your capstone project (i.e., patient or staff education materials, etc.) can also be attached but are optional.

Extending the Protections of the Civil War Amendments: Defining their Limits

The Thirteenth, Fourteenth, and Fifteenth Amendments were passed after the Civil War. While these amendments were clearly aimed at changing the relationship between the state governments and former slaves, they have also been used to provide civil rights protections based on other characteristics (i.e., being a woman) while the courts have refused to provide protection for other characteristics (i.e., class). How far should the protections of the Civil War amendments extend? If there should be limits, how would you define them?

Key Security Concepts and Factors for Network and Systems Resilience

Understand key network security and systems resilience tools, terminology and models.
4.1: Explain how key security concepts can be applied in a large and distributed organisation.
4.2: Assess how key factors are applied to enhance and embed an holistic approach to network and systems resilience.
Answer
Part 1 (one to two pages)

Part 2: One to two pages
1. Describe the four factors?
2. Which one is implemented in the organization you selected?
3. Which one is not well implemented?
4. What suggestions could be made to improve?

Part 3: Conclusion
If the ten security concepts stated in part one is fully implanted, the security measures for the organization would meet the minimum required security within network and online environment. Considering the four factors would enhance the system resilience and improve security measures.

2. DRI: Provide the RDA or AI and UL or CDRR that applies to your selected micronutrient
3. Your Intake: Describe your intake and whether it is excessive or deficient and by how much. Outline the reasons as to why you think your intake is deficient or excessive.
4. Symptoms and Health Implications: What are potential symptoms and concerns with your intake (i.e., deficient or excessive).
