Discussion P W8

The musculoskeletal system is responsible for the structure of the body and the ability to have purposeful movements. Musculoskeletal injury and disease affect a large swath of the population and become increasingly prevalent in older adults. 

What are the short-term and long-term pathophysiological consequences of a fracture?

How might the fracture type influence the risk of complications and time to recovery?

NR 226 week 8-2

nursing statistics

 

  • Find an article or webpage (do not use Wikipedia or an AI source) that lists the assumptions for correlations. Find information from the Eskandari Kootahi et al. study and determine if they were met in this study. This can count as the article related to a statistical concept this week
  • You used the term “homoscedasticity.” What does this mean?
  • The relationship between all of the variables was positive. What does this mean? Do both variables go up together in value? Or do both variables go down together in value? Or, as one variable goes up or down, does the other variable move in the opposite direction? Determine the direction of the effect of one of the subscales of professional values on job satisfaction and explain what this means in terms of the direction of the r-value.
  • Use the values in Box 9.1 to more precisely evaluate the strength of each of the correlations between job satisfaction and professional values in this study. Give the r-values and the strength of the value.
  • A complete analysis of the clinical significance of research findings is not based on the importance of the variables. Clinical significance is based on four things:
    • The strength of the relationship or difference between and among the variables.
    • Your knowledge of the importance of the professional issues relevant to the variables (as in this study) or the physiological or psychological impact of an intervention on the dependent (outcome) variable (in a clinical study of the effect of an intervention on the health of patients).
    • Critical thinking related to the importance of the issue and the strength of the findings from the study.
    • Your knowledge of your setting and your patients/staff members related to the relevance and strength of the findings to your setting and patients/staff. This should include consideration of the cost and effort of instituting and maintaining a project that aims to make a change in practice or process in your setting.
  • Using the four criteria above related to clinical significance and thinking of your setting and previous practice change projects in your setting, is the strength of the correlations in this study sufficiently large to justify the effort, time, and expense of implementing a project?

discussion 1

 

  • Review practice agreements in your state.
  • Identify whether your state requires physician collaboration or supervision for nurse practitioners, and if so, what those requirements are.
  • Research the following:
    • How do you get certified and licensed as an Advanced Practice Registered Nurse (APRN) in your state?
    • What is the application process for certification in your state?
    • What is your state’s board of nursing website?
    • How does your state define the scope of practice of a nurse practitioner?
    • What is included in your state practice agreement?
    • How do you get a DEA license?
    • Does your state have a prescription monitoring program (PMP)?
    • How does your state describe a nurse practitioner’s controlled-substance prescriptive authority, and what nurse practitioner drug schedules are nurse practitioners authorized to prescribe?

Post a summary of your findings on your state based on the questions listed above. Explain the types of regulations that exist and the barriers that may impact nurse practitioner independent practice in your state. Be specific. Also, describe what surprised you from your research.
