I’m working on a Psychology question and need guidance to help me study.

PART 1

Binary Logistic Regression in SPSS

This week you will build on the simple logistic regression analysis did last week. You will use the same two variables (one independent variable and one dependent variable) you used in your SPSS analysis last week and add a second independent variable to the analysis. How has your statistical significance and odds ratio changed by the introduction of the second independent variable?

To prepare

• Use the one independent variable and one dependent variable you used to conduct your simple logistic regression analysis in Week 4.
• Add a second independent variable to your analysis (multiple logistic regression).
• Remember that your dependent variable must be dichotomous/binary.
• Think about how you might use the odds ratio in your analysis to simplify the interpretation of your results.
• How has your statistical significance and odds ratio changed by the introduction of the second independent variable?

The Assignment

Use SPSS to answer the research question you constructed. Then, compose a 1- to 2-paragraph analysis in APA format including discussion of if the predictive relationship is statistically significant and the odds ratio and what it means.

Be sure to include your data output with your analysis. See page 1032 in your Warner textbook for an excellent APA-compliant write-up of a binary logistic regression analysis.

PART 2

Article Critique

The Assignment

Write a 2- to 3-page critique of the research you found in the Walden Library that includes responses to the following prompts:

• Why did the authors select binary logistic regression in the research?
• Do you think this test was the most appropriate choice? Why or why not?
• Did the authors display the results in a figure or table?
• Does the results table stand alone? In other words, are you able to interpret the study from it? Why or why not?

I don’t understand this Communications question and need help to study.

Your first SAR paper is due on the 2010 film Digital Nation. Once you’ve finished writing your paper, please upload it via this assignment page. I think this is a particularly interesting film to watch, especially since it is now a decade old: many of the “subjects” of the film were in middle school or high school, perhaps around the same age as some of you. While you watch, think about how valid (or not valid) the claims and concerns put forth in the film are, based on what we know now. Are the concerns the same? If so, how have they changed? Are there new concerns?

Please upload your paper as a Microsoft Word document (.doc or .docx). If you’re unable to do this, you can copy and paste what you wrote into the text editor on this page.

The basic idea of an SAR paper is a pretty simple one. Basically, you are writing your SAR paper in response to watching the film Digital Nation. First, watch the film and take careful notes. When you write your paper, you will first write a summary (S) of the film, in which you cover the main points and ideas with a few relevant examples from the film. Then, you’ll write your analysis (A) section. This is the most important section, and the one I’ll grade the most carefully. This is where you will use named course concepts and ideas that we’ve learned about so far in class and connect & apply them to ideas and examples in the film. It’s important that you name, define, and explain the course concept before you apply it to the film. I recommend using at least 2-3 different course concepts in your analysis section. The good news is that I’m not looking for any specific course concept(s); you can write about whatever you find compelling–but you need to clearly explain the concepts you’re applying. This is, in part, an exercise in connecting different ideas. Obviously they need to be logical or relevant concepts. You also need to think beyond the three course themes or characteristics of mass comm; although those can be fine starting points. Finally, you will finish your paper with your response (R) section; this should be the easiest of the three–basically here is where you can tell my your opinion/reaction to the film.

This paper is worth 15% of your final grade (you’ll have one more of these for this class, for a total of 30%).

Here is the specific grading rubric that I use in grading your SAR paper.

I’m working on a Health & Medical exercise and need support.

Background information: There is a Adult Day Health Care facility opening up in Newhall, CA and you are to provide the utilization rates and types of participants in the adcs surrounding within a 20 mile radius.

You have included two existing centers (San Fernando Valley and Yamine ADHC) but you need to include ALL the centers with this radius and include information on each center: Such as utilization rates and the types of participants being served:

Explain the NEED for a center in Newhall. Include: supporting data which could include high rates of hospital admissions, readmissions, nursing home admissions, etc.

I’m working on a Health & Medical question and need guidance to help me study.

Based on your research and understanding of Malaria, create a 3- to 4-page report in a Microsoft Word document, which include a public education and disease control plan for your identified disease. Your paper must address the following:

• What percentage of population was affected by the disease?
• Have there been instances of any historical outbreaks of the disease? How was the disease handled and controlled in your community?
• What were the objectives and goals of your public education plan to control this disease?
• What initiatives were taken by the government departments to mitigate the impact of the disease?
• What measures would you suggest in the plan to actually reduce health risks?

• How would the plan allow the public to recognize pathogens are related to the cause of diseases and other health problems?
• How would the plan suggest measures to prevent the outbreak of the chosen infectious disease?

You must explain the feasibility of each specific part of your plan.

Prepare a presentation of the policy proposal you developed in Assessment 2 for one of the stakeholder groups identified in your proposal. Inform the group about the future of organizational policy and practices, the current performance shortfalls, and the rationale for why the new policy and practices are needed. In addition, explain how the group will benefit from this change in order to obtain their buy in and support.

Note: Each assessment in this course builds on the work you completed in the previous assessment. Therefore, you must complete the assessments in this course in the order in which they are presented.

An important aspect of change leadership is the ability to address diverse groups of stakeholders and create buy in and support for your ideas and proposals for change. This assessment provides you with an opportunity to demonstrate and hone these skills.

Assessment Instructions

In this assessment, you will build on the policy proposal work you completed in Assessment 2.

Preparation

The policy proposal you developed was well received by senior leadership. As a result, they have asked you to put together a presentation for one of the stakeholder groups that you identified in your proposal.

Your deliverable for this assessment is a slide deck to support your presentation. You may use Microsoft PowerPoint or any other suitable presentation software. Please use the notes section of each slide to develop your talking points and reference your sources, as appropriate.

If you choose to use PowerPoint and need help designing your presentation, a link to Microsoft tutorials is provided in the Supplemental Resources. An additional PowerPoint guide is linked in the Resources.

The design and organization of your presentation will determine how many slides you need. However, in this instance, senior leaders have suggested that 8–12 slides is a reasonable expectation for this presentation.

Presentation Requirements

Note: The tasks outlined below correspond to grading criteria in the scoring guide.

In your presentation, in an order that makes sense for your presentation, senior leaders have asked that you:

• Interpret for stakeholders the relevant benchmark metrics that illustrate the need for a change in organizational policy and practice.
  • Provide a brief review of the metrics you are trying to improve for this stakeholder group, based on the dashboard benchmark evaluation you completed in Assessment 1.
  • Be sure to interpret the dashboard metrics in a way that is understandable and meaningful to the stakeholder group to which you are presenting.
• Explain your proposed change in policy and practice guidelines and how it relates to applicable local, state, or federal health care laws or policies.
  • What specific changes are you proposing?
  • How will these changes help drive performance improvement?
  • Why are policy and practice guidelines important, from an organizational standpoint?
  • What is the overall goal of the proposed policy or practice guidelines?
• Explain how your proposed change in policy or practice guidelines will affect the tasks and responsibilities of the stakeholder group to which you are presenting.
  • How might your proposal change what tasks the stakeholder group performs or how they currently perform them?
  • How might your proposal affect the stakeholder group’s workload?
  • How might your proposal alter the responsibilities of the stakeholder group?
  • How might your proposal improve working conditions for the stakeholder group?
• Explain how your proposed change in policy or practice guidelines will improve the quality of work and outcomes for the stakeholder group to which you are presenting.
  • How will your proposed changes improve the group’s quality of work?
  • How will your proposed change improve outcomes for the group?
  • How will these improvements enable the stakeholder group to be more successful?
• Explain your strategies for collaborating with the stakeholder group to implement your proposed change in policy or practice guidelines.
  • What role will the stakeholder group play in implementing your proposal?
  • How could the stakeholder group collaborate with you and others during the implementation of your proposal?
  • Why is the stakeholder group’s collaboration important to successful implementation of your proposal?
• Design your presentation to be persuasive and effective in communicating with the stakeholder group.
  • Is your presentation logically organized, clear, and professional?

Example Assessment: You may use the following to give you an idea of what a Proficient or higher rating on the scoring guide would look like:

• Assessment 3 Example [PPTX].

Presentation Design

Being able to effectively address any audience is a necessary leadership skill. Remember that you are the speaker, not a projectionist. Your purpose is not to present a slide show. Your audience is there to listen to what you have to say, not read your slides—or worse, listen to you read them. Design your presentation slides to compliment and reinforce your message and engage your listeners.

The following tips will help you create presentation slides that work to your advantage:

• Focus on the content of your presentation and the development of your main points. Remember that your purpose is to deliver a message on ethics that is clear, well organized, and engaging.
• Consider your intended audience and how best to communicate effectively with them.
• Create slides that support your presentation. They should not be your presentation.
  • Use a professional presentation template, or one used in your organization.
  • Ensure that your slide background provides sufficient visual contrast for your text and graphics.
  • Avoid filling your slides with text. Use speaker notes to record the details you want to communicate to your audience.
  • Be judicious in your use of bulleted lists. Consider a separate slide for each point.
  • Use images and graphics, when appropriate, to illustrate information and make your points. Presentation slides are a visual medium. Images are more effective than text at capturing viewers’ attention.
  • Avoid using images that are simply decorative. They can be a visual distraction and do not contribute to your message.
  • Avoid using flashy slide transitions and animations. They can be both distracting and annoying. Keep your slide transitions consistent throughout the presentation.
  • Add a slide to the end of your presentation to prompt questions from the audience.

Audio Recording

As a health care administrator, you are expected to connect with your peers to address and solve health care issues. For this assessment, submit your presentation with recorded audio of you presenting your PowerPoint to key stakeholders in your audience.

Resources

Suggested Resources

The resources provided here are optional. You may use other resources of your choice to prepare for this assessment; however, you will need to ensure that they are appropriate, credible, and valid. The NHS-FP6004 – Health Care Policy and Law Library Guide can help direct your research, and the Supplemental Resources and Research Resources, both linked from the left navigation menu in your courseroom, provide additional resources to help support you.

Communicating and Collaborating With Stakeholders

This media simulation provides information on the preparation and communication steps that should be completed prior to delivering a presentation to a group of stakeholders. It also provides an opportunity to reflect on stakeholders’ wants and needs, as well as how to craft a message that will resonate with specific stakeholders.

I’m trying to study for my Nursing course and I need some help to understand this question.

Assignment 1

Please use the grading rubric to create an outline of your assignment. Each section of the rubric should be a section of your final paper and could become the headings. Your assignment will be graded based on each element of the rubric. Compare each section of your paper with the rubric to ensure all elements are covered. Then, include an introduction and conclusion to tie the paper together. If you have any questions regarding the assignment, please contact your instructor using the Course Help forum.

Choose one of the following chronic diseases. You will use the chosen chronic disease as the topic to address in each of the assignments in this course.

• Hypertension
• Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease
• Diabetes Mellitus Type 2
• Childhood asthma

You must use a minimum of two scholarly sources. This paper should be 4-5 pages in length.

In Assignment One you will:

• Illustrate the population. Who are the members of this population? Provide details, including contributing causes for the disease and/or past medical history, any familial or genetic components for the disease.
• Evaluate the population, including current numbers, the seriousness of the disease, special needs to optimize health and independence.
• Assess the need for formal case management. What are the current trends in case management (as discussed in your text) that support a case management model?
• Argue the potential benefits to implementing a case management model, addressing economics, quality or life/care of the patient, impact on the social life of the patient and family.
• Analyze why nurses should coordinate the case management plan of care? Based upon best practice, what specialized training and experiences would a nurse bring to this role?
• Identify the other members that should be included on a multidisciplinary case management team and discuss what their role is and why they are valuable members.

Grading Rubric

Academic integrity: Sources not cited and/or word-for-word (verbatim) content used from another source without the use of quotation marks earns a 0 for the paper.

I need help with a Management question. All explanations and answers will be used to help me learn.

Please respond to both POST1: and POST2: in at least 200 words. I have also included the original post for your reference when responding to both POST1 and 2.

Original post:

Describe the function and importance of scope control in managing projects and name the tools and techniques that the textbook and PMBOK® Guide, 6^th edition identify as the tools and techniques used for scope control. Select one of these tools and provide an example to describe how you would use this tool in a typical project in your field of practice.

POST1:

Scope Control

Scope control in managing projects is a very important process since it is used to accomplish a project while still sustaining the project requirements and meeting the overall project goals. According to the Project Management Institute (2017), control scope is the process of monitoring the status of the project and product scope and managing changes to the scope baseline; the key benefit of this process is that the scope baseline is maintained throughout the project. When scope control is not being managed efficiently is when scope creep can occur. Scope creep is defined as uncontrolled expansion to product or project scope without adjustments to time, cost, and resources (Project Management Institute, 2017). To make certain project scope changes are controlled effectively, there are processes and tools and techniques that can be utilized such as data analysis, work performance information, change requests, project management plan updates and project document updates.

Change Requests Process

According to PMI (2017), the change control is the process of reviewing all change requests; approving changes and managing changes to deliverables and to communicate the decisions. Projects that have an extremely tight schedule and can easily go over budget is when the change control process is even more relevant and should be used. However, if a change is made then a formal change request process should be utilized to ensure the full understanding of the impact of the change is understood by all parties. Once approved, updated costs, schedule and baseline should be established and communicated.

Project Change Management Process Steps (Billows ,2019):

Step 1: As the project manager, you receive a change order request. The first step is always to see if the situation can be resolved with corrective action that would not change the project plan or any of its components.

Step 2: If corrective action fails or is not an option, you analyze the change order request. You document each of the items listed above and make your recommendation for approval or rejection of the request. You should complete the analysis in a timely manner and include quantification of the impact of the change on the project scope, budget, duration, etc. as detailed above.

Step 3: You forward your analysis of the change order request to the project sponsor with your recommendation for approval or rejection of the request.

Step 4: The sponsor decides whether to approve or reject the change order request and the consequences. You document the result.

Step 5: If the sponsor approves the change request, you implement it by changing the project budget, schedule and scope as necessary. Then you alter the team member assignments to reflect the changes. You follow these same steps for all change order requests.

Step 6: You should archive the change order request and all supporting documentation. This information is invaluable for handling future requests.

Change Request Example:

If I were a project manager and had to update the project baseline multiple times then I would follow the project change management process. Following this process means that changes that do occur to the baseline project plan are thoroughly explored and are needed to produce the agreed project constraint and deliverables. According to Billows (2019), you should never allow stakeholders to make changes to team members’ assignments, the specifications of deliverables, or to add new deliverables or tasks without going through the change management process. By following this requirement is also preventing scope creep. A project manager’s job is to not prevent changes to the project. However, as an alternative the project managers try their best to come up with more reasonable ways of performance that leads to improvement on a project. In addition, adding extra requests on a project can raise the project’s time and budget constraint, which means the project manager will either need to prolong the deadline and assign extra personnel to work on the project. In the long run, keeping an eye on scope changes allows you to communicate any changes more quickly and make any necessary corrections in advance so that your project does not get off course.

POST2:

Scope control and the function of it is one of the key factors to a project, and can be the difference between success of the project and the failure of a project. The lack of scope control is one of the most common and main causes to the failure of a project. Chuck Millhollan (2008) states that “the four top causes for project failure are: Poor or incomplete requirements, Scope creep, A lack of a structured project management methodology, and the Lack of change control.” So what is Scope Control? The PMBOK (2017) guide defines scope control as “the process of monitoring the status of the project and product scope and managing changes to the scope baseline. The key benefit of this process is that it allows the scope baseline to be maintained throughout the project.” Some change throughout a project is inevitable, and some changes are going to have to happen regardless of how solid the scope is. Being able to control the change and potential scope creep, however, is the important task, and can potentially decide the overall success of the project.

There are tools to aid project managers with taking on change, and being able to make the best of it, and come out ahead of any more throughout the projects life cycle. Martinelli and Milosevich (2016) identified four tools and techniques that assist project managers and the task of scope control and they are project scope control system, project change request, project change log, and project scope control decision checklist. The Project Scope Control Decision Checklist is one arguably one of the more important techniques as it discusses and gives visual representation by listing out if the project and the change being requested is worth considering. Along with that, it covers multiple areas of the project as it identifies the responsibility for the change, the impact of change on the project schedule or budget, and the needed resources or approvals necessary to implement the change (Martinelli, 2016).

I have used a project scope control decision checklist, but in a more simple manner, while planning construction projects in the Army. The way that it is handled is a less formal manner, but is consistent with the checklist that is shown in the PMBOK. As more of a risk assessment, it covers the questions of potential strengthening of a project, the pros and the cons of the change, the timeliness if implemented, alternatives, and overall risks to personnel, equipment and job site infrastructure.
