The unique needs of providing service to clients
Conduct a review of literature related to the unique needs of providing service to clients who have been incarcerated or have criminal charges pending. Analyze the challenges a human services provider would have in providing services to these clients. Include in your analysis any potential ethical issues you might face in providing services. Identify how you would manage or address these issues.

Research public health issues located on the American Public Health Association (APHA) website, found in the topic Resources. Select a public health issue related to an environmental issue within the U.S. health care delivery system and examine its effect on a specific population.
Based on the public health issue selected, in 750-1,000 words address the following:
Describe the public health issue. Include the following information: (a) what population is affected, (b) at what level does it occur (local, state, or national), and (c) evidence about the issue supported by resources.
Discuss how the public health issue is addressed by the current policies.
Include what changes you would propose to the existing policies. Describe what steps are required to initiate policy change.
Identify the necessary stakeholders required to initiate policy change (government officials, administrator) and explain the importance of their role, such as budgeting or funding.
Discuss the impact on the health care delivery system.
Include three peer-reviewed sources and two other sources to support the policy brief.

The needs of the pediatric patient differ depending on age, as do the stages of development and the expected assessment findings for each stage. In a 500-750-word paper, examine the needs of a school-aged child between the ages of 5 and 12 years old and discuss the following:
Describe the different physical characteristics/findings within the school-aged child. Explain how you would modify assessment techniques to match the age and developmental stage of this child.
Choose a child between the ages of 5 and 12 years old. Identify the age of the child and describe the typical developmental stages of children that age.
Applying developmental theory based on Erickson, Piaget, or Kohlberg, explain how you would developmentally assess the child. Include how you would offer explanations during the assessment, strategies you would use to gain cooperation, and potential findings from the assessment.
You are required to cite a minimum of three peer-reviewed sources to complete this assignment. Sources must be published within the last 5 years, appropriate for the assignment criteria, and relevant to nursing practice.

The summative assessment will be in the form of a 4000-word research proposal. The proposal should include as a minimum: Background, literature review/rationale, aims and objectives, research question or hypothesis, research methodology, methods, consideration of ethics, governance issues, validity / reliability / trustworthiness and reflection on your role in the process. (Module Learning Outcomes 1-7). The following is a suggested structure for the work.
Title: A clear title for the research protocol which clearly addresses the variables and concepts that are being researched.
Background: an outline for the key drivers and need for the research proposal. This may include key political, professional, clinical and service user drivers for the research project.
Literature review: a critical discussion of the research literature that forms the foundations for your proposal. This will inform the rationale for the research project and explore how it builds on existing knowledge and /or practice. In other words, your critical reading and summarising of the literature will show what is known, as well as what is not yet known about your particular topic. Module learning outcomes 2 (critically appraised the research literature in a specific area of public health / healthcare management) and 4 (demonstrated advanced competence in the location, retrieval and management of literature from a variety of sources)
Aims and Objectives: a clearly articulated outline of the aims and objectives of the research proposal which will clearly derive from literature review.
Research Question / Hypothesis: Clearly defined question (s) that is specific to the study in order to provide data that will provide answers. The research question or hypothesis will also indicate the kind of empirical evidence which you are proposing to collect. The research question or hypothesis will frame the boundaries of the research project (what it is / isn’t about).
Methodology: This will provide the philosophical and theoretical orientation of the research project that will inform the study design and the methods used to collect data (this is what we explore in the ‘thinking about research’ part of the module). This needs to build on
the literature review, in that the methodological approach you adopt needs to clearly help answer your research question(s). Module learning outcomes 1 (demonstrates a critical awareness and evaluation of a range of philosophical research approaches to enquiry) and 3 (demonstrates a systematic understanding of evidence based knowledge to critically justify the choice of a research methodology to apply to a specific public health /healthcare management issue) Methods: Here you should discuss what we explore in the ‘doing research’ and ‘analyzing research data’ parts of the module. You should cover sampling and recruitment strategies, inclusion and exclusion criteria, data collection methods and process for analysing the data. It is important to explore issues of reliability and validity with regard to empirical data and the research process, and the feasibility of carrying out the research. This section will also include a consideration of the key ethical concerns associated with the study together with the strategies and processes that will be implemented to address those concerns. These may relate to issues of confidentiality, anonymity, capacity and consent, vulnerable populations etc. Governance issues will relate to the organisational and political processes that govern the research processes. Module learning outcomes 5 (Identifies ethical issues arising and strategies for their management) and 6 (critically evaluates appropriate methods of data collection and data analysis). Discussion: this includes a critical reflection on your role in the research process together with a commentary on your development as a researcher and the strategies that you will implement in order to conduct the research project. Module learning outcome 7 (critical reflection on your role within the research process).
