Create a list of at least five sources that could be used to find evidence, with the best source listed first, and explain why the sources you chose are best to find evidence for the diagnosis you chose and the clinical scenario. You are only evaluating the sources of evidence (database, website, policy database or website, journal article, et cetera). You are not actually completing a search and selecting evidence. Consider the following examples: a nursing journal in CINAHL may not be the best source of evidence for information on how to administer medications through a central-venous catheter, whereas a hospital policy database found on a website may not be the best source of information on caring for a patient with a rare chromosomal abnormality. Be sure to address the following in this assessment, which correspond to the grading criteria in the scoring guide. Please study the scoring guide carefully so that you will know what is needed for a distinguished score. Describe communication strategies to encourage nurses to research the diagnosis/practice issue, as well as strategies to collaborate with the nurses to access resources. Describe the best places to complete research and what types of resources you would want to access to find pertinent information for the diagnosis/health care issue within the context of a specific health care setting. Identify five sources of online information (medical journal databases, websites, hospital policy databases, et cetera) that could be used to locate evidence for a clinical diagnosis/practice issue. Explain why the sources of online information selected should provide the best evidence for the chosen diagnosis/health care issue. Communicate using writing that is clear, logical, and professional with correct grammar and spelling using current APA style.

Analyze the root cause of a specific patient safety issue in an organization. Apply evidence-based and best-practice strategies to address the safety issue. Create a feasible, evidence-based safety improvement plan to address a specific patient safety issue. Identify organizational resources that could be leveraged to improve your plan. Communicate in writing that is clear, logical, and professional, with correct grammar and spelling, using current APA style. Length of submission: Use the provided Root-Cause Analysis and Improvement Plan template to create a 4–6 page root cause analysis and safety improvement plan pertaining to a specific patient safety issue. Number of references: Cite a minimum of 3 sources of scholarly or professional evidence that support your findings and considerations. Resources should be no more than 5 years old. APA formatting: Format references and citations according to current APA style.

Your paper should include the following for each: Proposed mechanism of action Baseline assessment, laboratory considerations, and frequency of ongoing labs and assessments Note: Discuss the importance of assessment and labs. Special population considerations (birth assigned gender, age, other medical comorbidity considerations) FDA approval indications Typical dosing with discussion on therapeutic endpoints for psychiatric use Major drug–drug interaction considerations For each of these medications, please review potential drug–drug interactions listed below. Consider alternative dosing schedules, clinical implications for the drug interactions, additional patient education needed, any additional monitoring recommended, or collaboration needed with other medical professions (such as, primary care providers) Lamotrigine + Valproate Lamotrigine + Rifampin Valproate + Estrogen containing birth control. Valproate + Amitriptyline Lithium + Furosemide Lithium + Lisinopril Carbamazepine + Lurasidone Carbamazepine + Grapefruit juice Discuss the ethical, legal, and social implications related to prescribing bipolar and other related mood-disorder diagnoses therapy for patients. Include a title page.

Create a descriptive statistics table and histogram for one of the three variables in a data set. Write a 2-3 page recommendation and plan of action in a Word document and insert the table and histogram graphic into this document. Submit both the Word document and the Excel file that shows the descriptive statistics output.
Note: You are strongly encouraged to complete the assessments in this course in the order they are presented.
Descriptive statistics play an important role in analyzing data. It numerically summarizes key characteristics of variables. Measures of central tendency (mean, median, and mode) and dispersion (variance, standard deviation, and range) characterize the probability distribution. A histogram visualizes the distribution of numerical data, indicating the number of data points that lie within a range of values. For this assessment, you will perform descriptive statistics and create a histogram for selected variables in a data set.
The data set contains the following variables:
utilization (average number of patient days per month).
satisfaction (patient satisfaction scores percentile rank).
readmissions (readmission rate per month).
Nursing home administration has the objectives of higher utilization, higher patient satisfaction, and lower readmissions. Select one of the three variables to analyze to create a plan of action for improvement. Provide a rationale for your selection. Base your analysis on average performance over the past 70 months.
For this assessment, create a descriptive statistics table and histogram for one of the three variables in the Assessment 1 Data Set [XLSX] Download Assessment 1 Data Set [XLSX]. Write your recommendation and plan of action in a Word document and insert the table and histogram graphic into this document. See Copy From Excel to Another Office Program for instructions. Submit both the Word document and the Excel file that shows the descriptive statistics output.
The numbered assessment instructions outlined below correspond to the grading criteria in the Descriptive Statistics and Data Visualizations Scoring Guide, so be sure to address each point. You may also want to review the performance-level descriptions for each criterion to see how your work will be assessed.
Perform the appropriate descriptive statistics for the one selected variable in a data set.
Report descriptive statistics table with measures of central tendency and dispersion.
Create a histogram for the one selected variable that visually depicts the distribution of that variable.
Interpret statistical results of a data analysis.
Include a summary of your interpretation of the distribution shape for the histogram.
Write a recommendation to determine what decision and plan of action to make for the scenario that is based upon your data analysis and supported with scholarly literature.
Write clearly and concisely, using correct grammar, mechanics, and APA formatting.

I will submit files and templates for you. I will also provide information for you to read to understand how to fill out the charts.

Any radiology, CT, MRI, or Nuclear Medicine article that’s interesting. Must have at least 2 sources in apa format

The policy has already been thought out for you just follow the attached rubric and for starters the following topic as it was introduced which i also attached a file with more details of the policy:
Florida Nurse Mental Health and Resilience Act:
This Policy would mandate the creation of a statewide program to provide mental health support and resilience training for nurses working in all healthcare settings. The goal would be to ensure nurses receive ongoing mental health care, access to counseling services, and training on coping mechanisms to manage the psychological stresses of the job.
Unlike other mental health policies that are out there this would be a more specific policy that targets mental health resilience in nurses and could really benefit the nursing community, given the high levels of stress and burnout in the profession post pandemic.
