Compare independent variables, dependent variables, and extraneous variables. Describe two ways that researchers attempt to control extraneous variables. Provide an example of how this is applied using a peer-reviewed, primary research article.

Initial discussion question posts should be a minimum of 200 words and include at least two references cited using APA format. Responses to peers or faculty should be 100-150 words and include one reference. Refer to “RN-BSN Discussion Question Rubric” and “RN-BSN Participation Rubric,” located in Class Resources, to understand the expectations for initial discussion question posts and participation posts, respectively.

You are designing an executable population-based change project addressing identified practice-related problems or questions. This strongly emphasizes collaboration between advanced practice nurses and community agencies and includes working with an agency using practice data to provide answers, which are responsive to the needs of clinicians, administrators, and policy makers for improvement of programs or practices.

This section of the change project should include a discussion of key concepts.

1. Clarify the issue under study.
2. Propose solutions or interventions based on the literature review.
3. Compare other views on the problem and solutions.
4. Address the APRN role in the intervention and discuss implications for clinical practice.
5. Discuss the implications of your change project.

Some important things to consider and address:

1. Does your intervention have a clear connection to your research problem?
2. What are the specific methods of data collection you are going to use, such as surveys, interviews, questionnaires, or protocols?
3. How do you intend to analyze your results?
4. Provide a justification for subject selection and sampling procedure.
5. Describe potential limitations. Are there any practical limitations that could affect your data collection? How will you attempt to control the limitations?
6. How will your change project help fill gaps in understanding the research problem?

This section should be 6–7 pages in length, not including the cover or reference page. You must reference a minimum of 5 scholarly articles.

Part A
Tiffany, a 21-year-old college student, is having trouble sleeping, cries frequently, and has recurrent thoughts of suicide. An antidepressant is prescribed. Like many such drugs, this antidepressant has anticholinergic side effects.

1. What side effects might Tiffany experience in the first week of treatment?
   

Part B
Maria, a 9-year-old girl, told the clinic physician that her “ear lump hurt” and she kept “getting dizzy and falling down.” As she told her story, she pointed to her mastoid process. An otoscopic examination of the external acoustic meatus revealed a red, swollen eardrum, and her throat was inflamed. Her condition was described as mastoiditis with secondary labyrinthitis.

1. Describe the most likely route of infection and the infected structures in Maria’s case.
2. Explain the cause of her dizziness and falling.

 M5D1 Compare PHRs

Instructions: This discussion will be completed in two parts and will give you an opportunity to reflect upon this week’s content and to interact with your classmates.

• Part 1 – Post your initial response to the discussion questions by Thursday at 11:59 pm
• Part 2 – Post substantive feedback to two (2) classmates by Sunday at 11:59 pm

Part 1 Initial Post: Contribute a substantive initial posting that demonstrates critical thinking and understanding of the subject matter presented. Imagine you are a patient with a complex medical history looking to start using a PHR. Use the internet to research the various personal health records (PHRs) available from both free and subscription services. In your initial discussion response, provide a comparison of at least two PHR’s, describing the differences in available features, ease of use, costs, and support. Identify the systems you would choose to adopt, and and discuss factors that impacted your decision. To help you work through this discussion prompt, consider these 12 questions AHIMA suggests individuals ask themselves when deciding which PHR is right for them:   Helping Consumers Select PHRs_ Questions and Considerations for Navigating an Emerging Market.pdf

 A variety of models for making decisions are available. Three of these models are paternalistic, informative, and shared decision making.

• Discuss the pros and cons of each of these models and the problems that are best suited for the various methods.
• Determine which method has the strongest possibility of resulting in permanent change.
•  Your initial post should be at least 500 words, formatted and cited in current APA style with support from at least 2 academic sources.
