NR-505 Advanced Research Method: Evidenced Based Practice
Research Summaries (graded)
Read the box above about Mr. Lowell and his facility. As an advanced practice nurse, you need to help the staff understand the differences between various translation documents. Therefore, in this discussion, compare and contrast two of these five types of research summaries: meta-analysis, meta-synthesis, systematic research reviews, clinical practice guidelines, and care protocols. What are the differences in their purposes, audiences, and authors?

Health and safety issues in Ironridge community
The primary health and protection issues in the Ironridge community include; the presence of a burger restaurant near an open- constructed place with an open ground fire pit and the trash that is on fire near the sidewalk. There are also some health issues like; trash surrounds an open tented bed that is that, and a rodent was walking across the street. The presence of rodents on the walkway is a sign of unhealthy environment for human habitation. There is also a man sitting in front of a trash can on fire. Three trash bags are sitting on the sidewalk that is near a car with no tires on fire.
The homeless individual lying on a bench and an open Biohazard with a red sign are not healthy for this person. Biohazards cause health problems human beings. A biohazard is a risk to human health or the environment arising from vital work. Microorganisms have mainly caused the main biological work that usually the origin of biohazard
Health and safety issues in Summerville community
The security issues that I identified in the Summerville community were a loose K-9 dog and a government dog without an owner or leash. Such dogs can cause harm to humans. These may be through biting which causes injuries to victims. The dogs can bite the two women outside a store near both dogs and cause damage. Rodents walking in the middle of the road is a sign of dirty environment. Dirty environment causes health problems in humans inhabiting the area. The presence of a bike underneath the car at a residential home in this community shows how children have exposed to ill-health factors, kids riding the bike without helmet.
Mr. Lowell, the nursing executive at St. Louis Hospital in Summerville, hears about your consultant work for the cities of Ironridge and Summerville, and he asks you to help him evaluate the hospital’s evidence-based practice program and recommend an EBP model. He strengthened the staff education department a few years ago with a new MSN-prepared director who could use a consultant to get the evidence-based practice program off of the ground.
Recall that systematic reviews and meta-analyses of randomized controlled trials (RCTs) are considered the best evidence when clinicians search for information on a clinical problem. Meta-analyses are reviews of literature related to a particular intervention, culminating in the calculation of the effect size of an intervention. The effect size is a measure of how well an intervention works based on the results of several studies.
Systematic reviews of research (SRRs) are either summaries of the research on an intervention or summaries of what is known about a phenomenon. A rigorous process is used to identify appropriate studies based on criteria developed by the researcher. The results of studies are synthesized, but no statistics are calculated.
Meta-syntheses are systematic reviews of qualitative studies, often resulting in theoretical propositions that can later be tested in practice. Meta-analyses, SRRs, RCTs, and even meta-syntheses are used to develop clinical practice guidelines (CPGs). Clinical practice guidelines are translated into care protocols, care maps, procedure manuals, and algorithms that are then implemented within institutions (see Figure 1). The developers of CPGs consider all of the studies related to a clinical problem.
Clinical Practice Guidelines
Clinical practice guidelines, or CPGs, are documents developed by multidisciplinary committees or professional organizations to provide guidance for clinicians about treatments supported by research. These committees examine all levels of research and typically include an analysis of the levels of evidence in their guidelines. Meta-analyses and systematic reviews of research based on RCTs are especially valued because they are considered the most credible research, but other types of studies are also included.
CPGs are available online on several websites. Here are a few.
•The Cochrane Collaboration is an international effort established in 1993 to provide CPGs or reviews related to healthcare research. Accessing the Cochrane Collaboration is possible through many libraries.
•The National Guideline Clearinghouse, which is maintained by the United States Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ), has provided guidelines since 1992. Guidelines are submitted by professional organizations, governmental committees, and clinicians.
•The Veterans Administration (VA)/Department of Defense Clinical Practice Guidelines website provides guidelines developed by VA and military clinicians.
Clinical practice guidelines are also compiled or collected by professional organizations, many federal agencies, and organizations dedicated to evidence-based practice, such as the Joanna Briggs Institute in Australia. More than one guideline, therefore, may be available for any clinical problem.
Learning to read and critique CPGs is important. The following criteria are useful for critiquing CPGs.
•Scope and purpose—Why was this guideline or best practice document developed?
•Stakeholders—Who has developed this CPG? Was the CPG developed for physicians, nurses, other health professionals, or a multidisciplinary team?
•Rigor of evidence—What were the criteria for inclusion or exclusion of articles in the CPG? Were the levels of evidence for the articles in the CPG described? Were the articles recently published?
•Recommendations and expected consequences—What is the intended audience for the CPG? Is the CPG appropriate and practical for nursing practice or multidisciplinary practice?
•Practicality and application—How will this practice summary be applied?
The following activity asks you to match the CPG criteria with additional questions that may be asked when critiquing them.
In advanced practice, within a nursing-practice committee, or as part of a multidisciplinary team, nurses use CPGs to design protocols of care, care maps, algorithms, procedure manuals, or other documents that translate the research in the CPG into practical bedside plans of care. Nursing specialty organizations, such as the American Association of Critical-Care Nurses, also provide care protocols for their members.

Page or paragraph numbers must be included with quotes per APA. See APA re how to format references and in-text citations i.e. capitalization issues and use of the ampersand versus the word (“and”).

ASSIGNMENT
Great managers seem scarce. And according to Randall Beck and James Harter ( (Beck & Harter, 2014) many
companies have many people with leadership and management talents in non-managerial positions, and vice
versa, a lot of managers and leaders with no, or limited leadership skills and talents.
Read the annex text and critically assess this statement and include some of the main concepts and principles
of strategic leadership in your discussion, and elaborate to what extent these concepts and principles are
applicable within different industry sector organizations and cultures – illustrated with industry
examples/practice. In particular, highlight how poor managers can develop and improve their personal
leadership skills, and how employees with managerial talents in non-managerial positions can be discovered,
developed, and prepared for a managerial position. Provide examples from readings, research and/or case
studies to underpin your argumentation.

GUIDELINES ON WRITING A COURSEWORK ESSAY
Preparation
Think carefully about what you have been asked. Research the topic, drawing on information from lectures
and tutorials, plus relevant books and articles. Make sure that you are familiar with the major debates or
viewpoints. Answer the question, the whole question, and nothing but the question!
Structure
Introduction
Start with addressing the question. Set out what you are going to look at in the essay, state what the
significant issues are, and say how you propose to examine them. This has two consequences: (1) It compels
you to discipline yourself and address the question in a relevant fashion, and (2) It shows the reader that you
are in control of the subject.
Main arguments / discussion
Unfold the main arguments in a coherent sequence, bringing relevant evidence to bear on the points being
made. Points should always be substantiated and sources acknowledged. Do not base your essay on
unsubstantiated assertion. All arguments are based on evidence and it is important, therefore, to be able to
cite relevant items of evidence in support of an interpretation or argument.
Use paragraph breaks carefully to help structure your argument. Each paragraph should introduce, develop,
make and substantiate a point, and prepare the way for the next paragraph and the next point.
Conclusion
Draw together your ideas, summarize your argument and demonstrate that you have answered the question.
Points that can help an essay to be in a presentable, consistent, written style
? Be clear in your use of words
? Do not leave the reader to guess the meaning. Ask, could this mean anything else?
? Be concise in you use of words
? Do not string a lot of ideas together in one sentence. Avoid verbosity.
Proof reading
Check that you mean what you write and write what you mean. Avoid typing errors and errors of spelling
and grammar. Using the Spelling Tool in Microsoft Word (or similar) may be helpful but this will not pick up
all mistakes. For instance, form and from, where and were, are often missed. There and their, principal and
principle and use of American language may all be confused.

Why Good Managers Are So Rare
by Randall Beck and James Harter | 8:00 AM March 13, 2014
Gallup has found that one of the most important decisions companies make is simply whom they
name manager. Yet our analysis suggests that they usually get it wrong. In fact, Gallup finds that
companies fail to choose the candidate with the right talent for the job 82% of the time.
Bad managers cost businesses billions of dollars each year, and having too many of them can
bring down a company. The only defense against this massive problem is a good offense, because
when companies get these decisions wrong, nothing fixes it. Businesses that get it right, however,
and hire managers based on talent will thrive and gain a significant competitive advantage.
Managers account for at least 70% of variance in employee engagement scores across business
units, Gallup estimates. This variation is in turn responsible for severely low worldwide employee
engagement. Gallup reported in two large-scale studies in 2012 that only 30% of U.S. employees
are engaged at work, and a staggeringly low 13% worldwide are engaged. Worse, over the past 12
years these low numbers have barely budged, meaning that the vast majority of employees
worldwide are failing to develop and contribute at work.
Gallup has studied performance at hundreds of organizations and measured the engagement of 27
million employees and more than 2.5 million work units over the past two decades. No matter the
industry, size, or location, we find executives struggling to unlock the mystery of why performance
varies so immensely from one workgroup to the next. Performance metrics fluctuate widely and
unnecessarily within most companies, in no small part from the lack of consistency in how people
are managed. This “noise” frustrates leaders because unpredictability causes great inefficiencies in
execution.
Executives can cut through this noise by measuring what matters most. Gallup has discovered
links between employee engagement at the business-unit level and vital performance indicators,
including customer metrics; higher profitability, productivity, and quality (fewer defects); lower
turnover; less absenteeism and shrinkage (i.e., theft); and fewer safety incidents. When a company
raises employee engagement levels consistently across every business unit, everything gets
better.
To make this happen, companies should systematically demand that every team within their
workforce have a great manager. After all, the root of performance variability lies within human
nature itself. Teams are composed of individuals with diverging needs related to morale,
motivation, and clarity — all of which lead to varying degrees of performance. Nothing less than
great managers can maximize them.

KOLM33BSS Principles of Strategic Leadership / Spring 2016

But first, companies have to find those great managers.
If great managers seem scarce, it’s because the talent required to be one is rare. Gallup finds that
great managers have the following talents:
They motivate every single employee to take action and engage them with a compelling mission
and vision.
They have the assertiveness to drive outcomes and the ability to overcome adversity and
resistance.
They create a culture of clear accountability.
They build relationships that create trust, open dialogue, and full transparency.
They make decisions that are based on productivity, not politics.
Gallup’s research reveals that about one in ten people possess all these necessary traits. While
many people are endowed with some of them, few have the unique combination of talent needed
to help a team achieve excellence in a way that significantly improves a company’s performance.
These 10%, when put in manager roles, naturally engage team members and customers, retain
top performers, and sustain a culture of high productivity. Combined, they contribute about 48%
higher profit to their companies than average managers.
It’s important to note that another two in 10 exhibit some characteristics of basic managerial talent
and can function at a high level if their company invests in coaching and developmental plans for
them.
In studying managerial talent in supervisory roles compared with the general population, we find
that organizations have learned ways to slightly improve the odds of finding talented managers.
Nearly one in five (18%) of those currently in management roles demonstrate a high level of talent
for managing others, while another two in 10 show a basic talent for it. Still, this means that
companies miss the mark on high managerial talent in 82% of their hiring decisions, which is an
alarming problem for employee engagement and the development of high-performing cultures in
the U.S. and worldwide.
Sure, every manager can learn to engage a team somewhat. But without the raw, natural talent to
individualize; focus on each person’s needs and strengths; boldly review their team members; rally
people around a cause; and execute efficient processes, the day-to-day experience will burn out
both the manager and his or her team. As noted earlier, this basic inefficiency in identifying talent
costs companies hundreds of billions of dollars annually.
Conventional selection processes are a big contributor to inefficiency in management practices;
little science or research is applied to find the right person for the managerial role. When Gallup

asked U.S. managers why they believed they were hired for their current role, they commonly cited
their success in a previous non-managerial role or their tenure in their company or field.
These reasons don’t take into account whether the candidate has the right talent to thrive in the
role. Being a very successful programmer, salesperson, or engineer, for example, is no guarantee
that someone will be even remotely adept at managing others.
Most companies promote workers into managerial positions because they seemingly deserve it,
rather than because they have the talent for it. This practice doesn’t work. Experience and skills
are important, but people’s talents — the naturally recurring patterns in the ways they think, feel,
and behave — predict where they’ll perform at their best. Talents are innate and are the building
blocks of great performance. Knowledge, experience, and skills develop our talents, but unless we
possess the right innate talents for our job, no amount of training or experience will matter.
Very few people are able to pull off all five of the requirements of good management. Most
managers end up with team members who are at best indifferent toward their work — or are at
worst hell-bent on spreading their negativity to colleagues and customers. However, when
companies can increase their number of talented managers and double the rate of engaged
employees, they achieve, on average, 147% higher earnings per share than their competition.
It’s important to note — especially in the current economic climate — that finding great managers
doesn’t depend on market conditions or the current labor force. Large companies have
approximately one manager for every 10 employees, and Gallup finds that one in 10 people
possess the inherent talent to manage. When you do the math, it’s likely that someone on each
team has the talent to lead. But given our findings, chances are that it’s not the manager. More
likely, it’s an employee with high managerial potential waiting to be discovered.
The good news is that sufficient management talent exists in every company – it’s often hiding in
plain sight. Leaders should maximize this potential by choosing the right person for the next
management role using predictive analytics to guide their identification of talent.
For too long, companies have wasted time, energy, and resources hiring the wrong managers and
then attempting to train them to be who they’re not. Nothing fixes the wrong pick.

OverviewBusiness law impacts our everyday lives, both personally and professionally. Businesses enter contracts, manufacture goods, sell services and products, and
engage in employment and labor practices—activities that must all adhere to certain laws and regulations. Recognizing and evaluating legal issues is a
fundamental skill that will help you navigate commercial relationships and avoid potential problems in the business world.
The final assessment for this course will require you to analyze three case studies and produce a short report for each. You will apply your legal knowledge and
your understanding of the types of business organizations. The project is divided into three milestones, which will be submitted at various points throughout the
course to scaffold learning and ensure quality final submissions. These milestones will be submitted in Modules Three, Five, and Six. The final project will be
submitted in Module Seven.
This assessment addresses the following course outcomes:

Apply appropriate elements of the U.S. legal system and the U.S. Constitution to business scenarios for impacting decisions in authentic situations
Apply concepts of ethics, morality, and civil and criminal law to business scenarios for informed corporate decision making
Analyze the basic elements of a contract and a quasi-contract for their application to commercial and real estate scenarios
Differentiate between the various types of business organizations for informing rights and responsibilities
Prompt
Imagine yourself as a paralegal working in a law office that has been tasked with reviewing three current cases. You will review the case studies and compose a
short report for each, applying your legal knowledge and understanding of the types of business organizations. In each of the three reports, you will focus on
areas of law covered in this course. Case Study One focuses on the legal system, criminal law, and ethics. Case Study Two concentrates on contracts and landlordtenant
law. Case Study Three involves environmental law and business organizations.
Case Study One
Chris, Matt, and Ian, who live in California, have decided to start a business selling an aftershave lotion called Funny Face over the internet. They contract with
Novelty Now Inc., a company based in Florida, to manufacture and distribute the product. Chris frequently meets with a representative from Novelty Now to
design the product and to plan marketing and distribution strategies. In fact, to increase the profit margin, Chris directs Novelty Now to substitute PYR (a lowcost
chemical emulsifier) for the compound in Novelty Now’s original formula. PYR is not FDA approved. Funny Face is marketed nationally on the radio and in
newspapers, as well as on the web and Facebook. Donald Margolin, a successful CEO and public speaker, buys one bottle of Funny Face over the internet. After
he uses it once, his face turns a permanent shade of blue. Donald Margolin and his company, Donald Margolin Empire Inc., file suit in the state of New York
against Novelty Now Inc. and Chris, Matt, and Ian, alleging negligence and seeking medical costs and compensation for the damage to his face and business
reputation. It is discovered that PYR caused Margolin’s skin discoloration. The website for Funny Face states that anyone buying their product cannot take Chris,
Matt, and Ian to court. Novelty Now’s contract with the three men states that all disputes must be brought in the state of Florida.
Specifically, the following critical elements must be addressed:
A. Apply the rules of jurisdiction to the facts of this case and determine what jurisdiction(s) would be appropriate for Margolin’s lawsuit against Funny Face
and Novelty Now, respectively. Consider federal court, state court, and long arm principles in your analysis.
B. Assume all parties agree to pursue alternative dispute resolution (ADR). Analyze the advantages and disadvantages of two types of ADR appropriate for
this case. Be sure to define the characteristics of each in your answer.
C. Applying what you have learned about ADR, which type would each party (Funny Face, Novelty Now, and Margolin) prefer and why?
D. Apply concepts of criminal law and discuss whether or not corporations and/or corporate officers may be held liable for criminal acts.
E. Identify, per the classification of crimes in the text, any potential criminal acts by Funny Face and/or Novelty Now.
F. Assume the use of the emulsifier PYR, at the direction of Chris, is a criminal offense. Apply concepts of criminal law and discuss the potential criminal
liability of Funny Face, Chris, Matt, Ian, and Novelty Now. Include support for your conclusion.
G. Use the WPH process of ethical decision making to evaluate any ethical issues within the case study.
Case Study Two
Sam Stevens lives in an apartment building where he has been working on his new invention, a machine that plays the sound of a barking dog to scare off
potential intruders. A national chain store that sells safety products wants to sell Sam’s product exclusively. Although Sam and the chain store never signed a
contract, Sam verbally told a store manager several months ago that he would ship 1,000 units.
Sam comes home from work one day and finds two letters in his mailbox. One is an eviction notice from his landlord, Quinn, telling him he has to be out of the
apartment in 30 days because his barking device has been bothering the other tenants. It also states that Sam was not allowed to conduct a business from his
apartment. Sam is angry because he specifically told Quinn that he was working on a new invention, and Quinn had wished him luck. The second letter is from
the chain store, demanding that Sam deliver the promised 1,000 units immediately.
Specifically, the following critical elements must be addressed:
A. Analyze the elements of this case to determine whether a valid contract exists between Sam and the chain store. Support your response by identifying
the elements of a valid contract in your analysis.
B. Assume there is not a valid contract between Sam and the chain store. Analyze the elements of a quasi-contract and a promissory estoppel to determine
