The theoretical foundations of qualitative and quantitative methods are very different, but many researchers believe both methods should be used in the research study to increase validity and reliability. What advantages or disadvantages do you see in using both types of methods in a nursing study? Support your answer with current evidence-based literature.
Part 1: Conduct an initial self-assessment in communication wherein you self-evaluate according to The 7 Competencies of Effective Communication, presented by Engleberg and Wynn (2015): know thy self; connect with others; determine your purpose; adapt to the context; select message content; structure the message; express the message. As you write your responses in the narrative section, draw upon the information you have learned from your studies of the lessons, text, and assigned exercises to demonstrate how your present understanding of course content informs your self-assessment. You may consider using the questions Engleberg and Wynn (2015) ask in their graphic (as prompts for each competency reflection). Finally, assess your level of skill by circling or highlighting the appropriate descriptor: excellent, good, average, or weak.
Part 2: In light of your self-assessment, provide both an overview of your goals and develop an improvement plan that includes measurable outcomes or “goals” that you may revisit near the end of this course. You should have at the very least two goals with a measurable plan for each detailed. Further, consider a way that you will track your progress.
Required Format and Process
Download and complete each area of the self-assessment table by writing in sentence format; submit it to your faculty by the due date. Be sure to address all rubric criteria.
IM3001A Module 2 Pre-Assessment (PDF) Module Pre-Assessments are your opportunity to practice applying module content before final submission of your Competency Assessment. For your final Competency Assessment, you will address scenarios related to the importance of nursing informatics in healthcare. For your Module 2 Pre-Assessment, respond to the following prompts. These prompts match those in your final Assessment. Be sure to support your responses with evidence from scholarly literature. Prompts: Write a 1- to 2-page information sheet that addresses the following scenario: You are responsible for orienting several new graduates to your nursing unit. The new hires are scheduled to begin an orientation session with the health informatics department. Prior to the orientation, the new hires need to gain a baseline understanding of the history and evolution of nursing informatics. To assist with their understanding, create a new-hire information sheet that addresses the following topics (1–2 pages): Describe the key components that contribute to the definition of nursing informatics. Provide a brief explanation of the historical evolution of health informatics in general. Describe the aspects of healthcare that the Health Information Technology for Economic and Clinical Health (HITECH) Act sought to improve when it was signed into law. Explain the concept of meaningful use.

Technology is an ever-changing and advancing phenomenon that can be tricky to navigate. “Society has moved from a world dominated by paper and face-to-face interactions, to an online presence and way of communicating that is in a constant state of evolution” (Knox, 2019, p. 1). Whether the nurse be young or older, I believe that navigating technology can come with growing pains for everyone. Technology is constantly updating and progressing into programs that aid in essential parts of nursing informatics. “Informatics knowledge and skills provide the tools to understand and use technology to work more efficiently and effectively, and to work smarter, not harder” (Chamberlain College of Nursing, 2020). The nurse must be able to use technology effectively in order to provide safe and efficient patient care. Clicking around the EHR can be overwhelming to some, as there are a lot of different ends and outs of different health care programs. It is essential for the nurse to not only be able to chart on their patient, but to be able to obtain proper data and information on their patients in order to perform interventions appropriately. Nursing informatics involves the DIKW theory– which is collecting and applying data, information, knowledge, and wisdom through technology. Through nursing informatics, I believe I am going to be learning a lot about how to connect the dots through patient care in a way that benefits communication in nursing and patient safety using technology. For seasoned nurses this may be less intimidating, but I feel that there is always going to be room to grow and learn when it comes to informatics no matter the skill set. Although I feel confident in using technology I scored myself a 32 overall. I believe that I could use further education on a few categories as I scored myself “good”, but was reassured to see myself as “very good” in others. I am excited to be improving on things like recognizing the role of information technology in improving patient care outcomes and creating a safe care environment throughout this course. I don't believe that I have any additional questions at this time as I feel that the lessons and readings have provided me with great context of what this course has to offer so far. I will utilize my teacher, and the Q&A forum if I do end up having any questions.

Hyde Pfiefer, a retired 70-year-old German American, has lived in the United States for the last 50 years. A widower of 5 years, Mr. Pfiefer prepares his own meals following his wife’s recipes from the old country. Nine months ago, Mr. Pfiefer was told that his cholesterol is elevated, and he was instructed about a low-fat diet. His most recent test results show his values to be unchanged.
