Dissemination of EBP and research Professional nursing journal is essential because they provide evidence-based information from various research that has been conducted in the field of nursing. The journal helps in educating, communicating, and challenging different practices in nursing within a particular period. The health and nursing conference is so far the best platform in which health care professionals, including the nurses, can present their research findings and evidence-based information. The dissemination of information dependents on the number of people who attends the conference, which can range from fifty people to thousands of people. The best of my choice nursing journals that I feel I can present for my project is The American Journal of Nursing. The reason behind the choice is because it is a journal that has been used for a more extended period and has a history of being the best in the field of nursing globally.  The journal is easily accessible to several individuals from different parts of the world. Therefore, it can reach a large number of health care professionals (Mary, 2018). Besides, the journal…

Diversity Program Ideas The word university is a Latin compound word that means “seeking truth together,” Latin “universus” meaning whole and veritas meaning “truth.” Literary, a university is a place where students from different social backgrounds, races, religious beliefs, and cultures converge to seek knowledge/truth. Learning seems to be easier since each student has a different cognitive ability; thus, students gain a lot from their colleagues. I champion Chapman Diversity Project because the program enhances my learning abilities. The diversity project helps learners from different social grounds and cognitive ability achieve their dream career with less struggle. If I am involved in Chapman Diversity Project, I will motivate students since I was once involved in learning disabilities in my second grade. My disability demanded I be included in the Individualized Education Plan (IEP). Diversified programs taught me how to interact with my immediate environment effectively, I have come to realize that I enjoy being engaged to my peers. I believe the Chapman Diversity Project will allow me to explore my interests and learn more about my environment, peers, and self.…

An area in my enterprise that I will create efficiency through reduction of redundancy In my enterprise, I will ensure I have a few competent employees who are well equipped with skills and knowledge to help me have the best output. Having quality employees, it will reduce the time that is spent in doing a task and be done in an effective manner (DeAngelis at el 2018). Moreover, by reducing the time of execution of processes, there will be more tasks that will be done in a limited time; thus, I will need to have few workers in my enterprise. Similarly, having a few competent workers will help have the best decisions for the enterprise since it contains few people (Larman at el 2016).

The process of execution will be reduced since the employers have the skills and shortcuts of having the products in a limited time,…

Application of Critical Perspective in Topic Examination The question of how the author uses crucial aspects in the article is depicted evidently in the report. For instance, the author takes the example of advertisements which describe the most dangerous place for an African American is in the womb of his/her mother. He states that during the pregnancy period, the unborn child faces the danger of being killed through abortion. The bitter disparity is that the supporters of the billboards pertaining to abortion claim that the messages on the ads are true. For example, the ads during the 2011 protest claimed that for every 21 seconds, an abortion is performed, thus claiming the life of the next possible leader. The author says that disparities about health exist all over all races, gender, and class. However, he states that the difference varies most when it pertains to women from the minority group. In the advertisements, the type of messages being displayed by black women also differs from the messages posted about white women. For instance, the words with black women show diseases…

This is an objective to be achieved as time goes by. The surveillance for this preventable disease advances as the need to control Hepatitis A widens.

The voting turn out The voting turn out has declined tremendously over recent years, although we call ourselves democratic. Although there is an increase in access points where the citizens can still influence the political outcome, the trend is disturbing. According to Russel J Dalton, there is a legislative gap in all the political actions. The social status of a person and the level of education people have are the strong predictors of participation in the voting process. The low turn in voting is there, but the states and neighborhoods where people are in the lower social status the turnout are the smallest (Dalton). While the better-off citizens continue to vote like before, this widening participation gap implies unequal representation; therefore, in such a government, democracy is questioning. In his presidential address, Arend Lijphart stated that Unequal participation signifies unequal influence, which a significant dilemma for representative democracy. A democratic country dictates that society benefits from the ultimate involvement of the citizens. The government would understand its complications if the citizens participated in various ways. Approximately 6 out of 10 people…

Confounding Confounding is a threat to the validity of causal inferences. Changes in the dependent variable may rather be attributed to the existence of variations in the extent of a third variable which is related to the manipulated variables. Where spurious relationships cannot be ruled out, rival hypotheses to the original causal inference hypothesis of the researcher may be developed.
