/in /by

Students are required to maintain weekly reflective narratives throughout the course to combine into one course-long reflective journal that integrates leadership and inquiry into current practice as it applies to the Professional Capstone and Practicum course.

In your journal, you will reflect on the personal knowledge and skills gained throughout this course. The journal should address a variable combination of the following, depending on your specific practice immersion clinical experiences:

  1. New practice approaches
  2. Intraprofessional collaboration
  3. Health care delivery and clinical systems
  4. Ethical considerations in health care
  5. Population health concerns
  6. The role of technology in improving health care outcomes
  7. Health policy
  8. Leadership and economic models
  9. Health disparities

Students will outline what they have discovered about their professional practice, personal strengths and weaknesses that surfaced, additional resources and abilities that could be introduced to a given situation to influence optimal outcomes, and finally, how the student met the competencies aligned to this course.

While APA style is not required for the body of this assignment, solid academic writing is expected, and in-text citations and references should be presented using APA documentation guidelines, which can be found in the APA Style Guide, located in the Student Success Center.

This assignment uses a rubric. Please review the rubric prior to beginning the assignment to become familiar with the expectations for successful completion.

Graphing Data

Graphing Data

Instructions:

Find some data, and graph it! (Note: Do not use the data from the assignment.  If you cannot find some data, you can make it up or create your own by asking 10 people a question such as their age, favorite food, favorite sport …)

Graphing is as much art form as science. Although certain types of data can lend themselves to particular kinds of graphs, there is still wide latitude in how you choose to present your data.

 For this post, you should:

  • Identify a dataset that can be displayed by one of the graph types discussed in Unit 2
  • Load your data into Excel, and then use the Graphing functions to create a graph that displays what you think is important about the data.

Answer the following questions:

  • What is the data you chose to graph?
  • Why did you pick the graph type you chose to display the data?
  • What features did you mean to highlight with the graph?

Please be sure to validate your opinions and ideas with citations and references in APA format.

Prepare this assignment according to the guidelines found in the APA Style Guide, located in the Student Success Center.

While the implementation plan prepares students to apply their research to the problem or issue they have identified for their capstone change proposal project, the literature review enables students to map out and move into the active planning and development stages of the project.

A literature review analyzes how current research supports the PICOT, as well as identifies what is known and what is not known in the evidence. Students will use the information from the earlier PICOT Statement Paper and Literature Evaluation Table assignments to develop a 750-1,000 word review that includes the following sections:

  1. Title page
  2. Introduction section
  3. A comparison of research questions
  4. A comparison of sample populations
  5. A comparison of the limitations of the study
  6. A conclusion section, incorporating recommendations for further research

Prepare this assignment according to the guidelines found in the APA Style Guide, located in the Student Success Center. An abstract is not required.
