For this assessment, you will develop a Word document of at least 12 annotated professional or scholarly resources that you consider critical for the audience of your safety improvement plan to understand or implement to ensure the success of the plan.
For this assessment, build on the work done in your first three assessments and create an online tool kit or resource repository that will help the audience of your in-service understand the research behind your safety improvement plan pertaining to a specific patient safety issue and put the plan into action.
Using Google Sites, assemble an online resource tool kit containing at least 12 annotated resources that you consider critical to the success of your safety improvement initiative. These resources should enable nurses and others to implement and maintain the safety improvement you have developed.
It is recommended that you focus on the 3 or 4 most critical categories or themes with respect to your safety improvement initiative. For example, for an initiative that concerns improving workplace safety for practitioners, you might choose broad themes such as general organizational safety and quality best practices; environmental safety and quality risks; individual strategies to improve personal and team safety; and process best practices for reporting and improving environmental safety issues.
Following the recommended scheme, you would collect 3 resources on average for each of the 4 categories focusing on a specific patient safety issue. Each resource listing should include the following:
An APA-formatted citation of the resource with a working link.
A description of the information, skills, or tools provided by the resource.
A brief explanation of how the resource can help nurses better understand or implement the safety improvement initiative pertaining to a specific patient safety issue.
A description of how nurses can use this resource and when its use may be appropriate.
Here is an example entry:
Merret, A., Thomas, P., Stephens, A., Moghabghab, R., & Gruneir, M. (2011). A collaborative approach to fall prevention. Canadian Nurse, 107(8), 24–29.
This article presents the Geriatric Emergency Management-Falls Intervention Team (GEM-FIT) project. It shows how a collaborative nurse lead project can be implemented and used to improve collaboration and interdisciplinary teamwork, as well as improve the delivery of health care services. This resource is likely more useful to nurses as a resource for strategies and models for assembling and participating in an interdisciplinary team than for specific fall-prevention strategies. It is suggested that this resource be reviewed prior to creating an interdisciplinary team for a collaborative project in a health care setting.
Additionally, be sure that your plan addresses the following, which corresponds to the grading criteria in the scoring guide. Please study the scoring guide carefully so you understand what is needed for a distinguished score.
Identify necessary resources to support the implementation and continued sustainability of a safety improvement initiative pertaining to a specific patient safety issue.
Analyze the usefulness of resources to the role group responsible for implementing quality and safety improvements focusing on a specific patient safety issue.
Analyze the value of resources to reduce patient safety risk related to a specific patient safety issue.
Present reasons and relevant situations for use of resource tool kit by its target audience.
Communicate in a clear, logically structured, and professional manner that applies current APA style and formatting.

-question to answer: What is the difference between deductive and inductive reasoning in research?
-include a question for peers to answer based on the subject or that could be unclear based on the question.

Nurse practitioners have a responsibility to ensure that all patients with chronic illnesses receive fair and unbiased care. Describe an instance where you received care that you felt was not fair, or where you sensed prejudice from a healthcare provider. Alternatively, share an experience where you observed or became aware of bias or inequality in a healthcare setting.
Explain how this experience affected your emotions. How did it influence your current approach to healthcare? Did this incident or discussion make you reflect on your own potential biases? Using at least one high-level scholarly reference, briefly discuss what actions could have been taken in that situation to prevent or improve it.

The following are the main points you need to cover, not limited to them. 1-Define the issue, 2-explore the literature, 3- discuss its consequences on the environment, leader/manager, nursing, patients, and the quality of the care provision,4- strategies to overcome this issue.

Unit 7 Virtual Lab assignment:
This assignment will assess your skills and knowledge on explaining the process of homologous recombination and its applications.
In this assignment, you will be tasked with documenting your experience of conducting an experiment in a virtual laboratory that focused on the process of homologous recombination and its applications. The virtual laboratory allows you to explore and observe the gene linkage, recombination, and independent assortment in fruit flies. 
Task: Carefully record your findings and conclude them in this template “Experiment 5 – Data Collection and Result”, which will serve as an essential document for evaluating your understanding of the homologous recombination concept and your experimental skills. 
Unit 8 Virtual Lab assignment:
This assignment will assess your skills and knowledge on explaining the gene expression and its regulation.
In this assignment, you will be tasked with documenting your experience of conducting an experiment in a virtual laboratory that focused on the study of gene expression and its regulation. 
Task: Carefully record your findings and conclude them in this template “Experiment 6 – Data Collection and Result”, which will serve as an essential document for evaluating your understanding of the gene expression concept and your experimental skills. 
Note: Please upload the observation sheets of the Virtual Lab activity in the given template. Submit them in one document.

Your paper should include the underlined items below as section headings.
APA 7th edition Title page:
This is a separate page by itself, with the following information centered in the middle of the page: course title, paper title, student’s name, instructor’s name, and date.
Description of Pathology:
Start the paper on a new page.
In this section, you will describe the pathology (statistics about it, background information, etc.). Give as much information as you can about it but be sure it is relevant information and not just filler. It should be a comprehensive introductory section of the condition in one to two paragraphs.
Normal anatomy of the major body system affected: In this section, you will describe what is considered normal anatomy for your particular pathophysiology. For example, if you are discussing a disease related to the brain, explain what is normal for the brain from an anatomical standpoint. You should show comprehensive knowledge of the fundamental concepts and communicate information using scientific vocabulary. There should be little to no discussion of the condition itself in this section.
Normal physiology of the major body system affected: In this section, you will be discussing physiology. Keep in mind that when describing physiology, it isn’t enough to merely provide a list of functions of the body system (Ex: Neurons send signals throughout the body), instead, you need to be able to describe how it does it. The how is the physiology. There should be little to no discussion of the condition itself in this section
Mechanism of Pathophysiology: This section is likely going to be the most in-depth and longest section. In this section, you will explain your particular pathophysiology from a scientific standpoint. In the previous two sections, you explained what is considered normal, in this section, you should describe what the pathophysiology is doing that is causing these issues, how the normal anatomy & physiology is affected/different in a person with your condition. You should show a thorough understanding of the anatomical and physiological changes contributing to the disease. Some good keywords to search for when doing your research might be “Pathology of __________”, Pathophysiology of __________.”
Prevention: In this section, you will explain how your pathophysiology could be prevented. This should outline possible prevention protocols, or clearly indicate if none is available based on the current scientific literature.
Treatment: In this section, you will explain how your pathophysiology is commonly treated. Provide possible treatment protocols for the condition based on current scientific literature. Be sure to bring in nursing relevant information and how you might be involved in the treatment of the condition.
Conclusion: Finally you should summarize your findings. All good research papers should include a conclusion where you wrap up and summarize all of the important points made in your paper.
References:
As with the Title page, this should be a separate page by itself.
All references should be included in correct and complete APA format.
All references must be cited appropriately in the paper using APA-style in-text citations.
A minimum of three reputable sources are required for this assignment.
