For this assessment you will craft a quantitative research question based on the hospital-acquired condition you selected for the Research Problem and Purpose Statements, as well as examine quantitative methodologies and data collection strategies that would enable you to answer your research question.There is no length requirement for this assessment. Most submissions that fully address all scoring guide criteria will be 2 to 5 pages in length.IntroductionNote: The assessments in this course build upon each other. Therefore, you are strongly encouraged to complete them in the order in which they are presented.The quantitative method is the original scientific method. Quantitative research methods can be subdivided by various designs that researchers use to answer their research questions. In fact, the wording of the research question must match the methodology and may contain the words that indicate the design. Quantitative research identifies what happened, but not why it happened. It identifies causation or relationships.The relationships in a quantitative research study are similar to those used for a qualitative design. There is still a relationship between the theory, problem, purpose and, now, the research questions, hypotheses, and design. This week, you will continue to expand your understanding of this framework by analyzing and evaluating research questions and hypotheses in quantitative studies. You will also learn about various quantitative research designs that researchers use to answer their research questions.In addition, you will continue to analyze the interrelated elements of a research study, making the connection among theory, problem, and purpose, and research questions, hypotheses, and design.Demonstration of ProficiencyBy successfully completing this assessment, you will demonstrate your proficiency in the following course competencies and assessment criteria:Competency 1: Explain the different types of health care research methodologies.Identify relevant quantitative methodologies that will support answering a research question.Describe quantitative data collection tools or strategies that are appropriate for answering a research question.Explain the importance of methodologically relevant data collection to a research plan as a whole.Competency 2: Develop a research question based on a hospital-acquired condition.Formulate a quantitative research question and associated hypothesis.Competency 4: Communicate in a manner that is scholarly, professional, and respectful of the diversity, dignity, and integrity of others and is consistent with the expectations of health care professionals..Communicate in a manner that is scholarly, professional, and respectful of the diversity, dignity, and integrity of others and is consistent with expectations for health care professionals.InstructionsFor this assessment it is suggested that you build upon the work that you did in the Research Problem and Purpose Statements assessment.The assessment has two distinct parts:Part 1: Quantitative Research QuestionRelevant Scoring Guide Criteria:Formulate a quantitative research question and associated hypothesis.Communicate in a manner that is scholarly, professional, and respectful of the diversity, dignity, and integrity of others and is consistent with expectations for health care professionals.For this section, you will formulate a research question that is appropriate for a research project that will use quantitative methodologies. Remember the HAC that you used in your Research Problem and Purpose Statements assessment. Additionally, your research question should align to the problem and purpose statements that you developed at that time.Keep in mind that a well-written research question should be a single statement.When examining or creating qualitative research questions, the following checklist may be useful.Quantitative Research Question ChecklistDoes the purpose statement fit logically with the problem statement? Are there similar words or does it seem to address a different topic?Based on the problem statement, do the research questions align with the method and design of the study? Do questions seek to describe responses to the variables described in the study?Do the questions include words like compare, correlate or other words that indicate a quantitative study?Do the questions include identification of the independent and dependent variables?Does the hypothesis fit with the research questions?Do the questions and hypothesis identify the participants for the research study?Do the questions and hypothesis specify the participants and the research site?Part 2: Quantitative Methods and Data CollectionRelevant Scoring Guide Criteria:Identify relevant quantitative methodologies that will support answering a research question.Describe quantitative data collection tools or strategies that are appropriate for answering a research question.Explain the importance of methodologically relevant data collection to a research plan as a whole.Communicate in a manner that is scholarly, professional, and respectful of the diversity, dignity, and integrity of others and is consistent with expectations for health care professionals.For this section, you will draw upon your readings about qualitative methods and data collection to first identify specific quantitative methodologies that will enable you to answer your research questions. You will also discuss specific qualitative data collection tools or strategies that are appropriate for this purpose. Questions to consider when looking for strategies and tools include:What is your research question specifically trying to answer?How does the specific HAC impact the types of tools and strategies that would work best?How does the health care setting that the research project will be occurring in impact the types of tools and strategies that would work best?Lastly, this section should include a review of why it is important to a potential research plan as a whole to ensure that your data collection plan is relevant to your chosen methodology.This section should be 2 to 5 pages in length, depending on the level of detail required to fully present your methodologies and data collection tools and strategies.Additional Submission RequirementsStructure: Include a title page, table of contents, and reference page.Length: There is not length requirement for this assessment. Most submissions that fully address all scoring guide criteria will be 2 to 5 pages in length.References: Cite at least five current scholarly or professional resources.Format: Use APA style for references and citations.You may wish to refer to the following APA resources to help with your structure, formatting, and style:APA Style and Format.APA Paper Template.APA Paper Tutorial.Font: Times New Roman font, 12 point, double-spaced for narrative portions only.

Choose and analyze a cultural object or photograph, and why that object or picture - as a cultural artifact – represents an important aspect of your culture. Include in your analysis: Brief description of the culture(s) in which you were raised. Include descriptions of your family culture, your ethnic and/or religious cultures, and any other cultural influences that have formed the unique individual you are. A brief description of the current culture(s) you belong to. How are these cultures different from those in which you were raised? You should use the object/photograph you choose for this assignment to explore the forms and meanings of cultures in your own life; the cultural influences that have formed you; what you have learned about cultural diversity and the diverse cultural influences that have helped to shape who you are. Finally, use what you see in the photograph as a way to summarize the dominant values or beliefs that are a part of your personal world-view as a result of cultural influences that have formed you. Your paper should be 2-3 pages in length. Please also include in your paper an image(s) of your object photograph in your paper. Attached to your paper should be a list of references used to support your analysis. A minimum of two sources outside of our textbook are required for this project. References should be listed using APA style.

Early literacy relies on appropriately preparing young children for reading. As young children are exposed to letters and sounds, they begin to build a foundation for phonemic awareness. This step is critical in preparing for the sequential order of reading instruction. Phonemic awareness, phonics, fluency, vocabulary, and comprehension build off each other to provide appropriate development for literacy.Create a 12-15 slide PowerPoint presentation intended to be shown to elementary general education classroom teachers within a professional development setting. Address the following within your presentation:Describe the scope and importance of reading education history in the U.S.Discuss the importance of literacy in grades K-3 and its educational effects on later academic years.Provide an overview of each of the five areas of reading instruction (i.e., phonemic awareness, phonics, fluency, vocabulary, and text comprehension).Describe how the brain is involved in the five areas (Big 5) of reading instruction and how the sequential order of each component is important in learning to read and comprehend text.Identify and describe two intervention strategies, per Big 5 component, for struggling readers. At least one strategy identified, per component, should be appropriate for utilization at home.Include presenter’s notes, in-text citations, and a reference slide that contains at least three scholarly sources to support this assignment.Submit your presentation and resource for families as one deliverable.While APA format 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.
