This assignment, like subsequent assignments each week, will help you make progress toward your final project.The first step is to understand how to use Microsoft Excel to enter data that you collected on individuals. You will use the information below for this assignment.Male, age 50, HispanicMale, age 39, African AmericanFemale, age 19, European AmericanMale, age 22, Asian AmericanFemale, age 88, European AmericanFemale, age 37, HispanicFemale, age 43, Asian AmericanMale, age 72, Native American Male, age 45, European AmericanFemale, age 30, African AmericanEnter the above information on the 10 imaginary research participants in Excel. Here are a few rules to keep in mind when creating a data set in Excel: The first row consists of variable names (column heading). Subsequent rows contain participants’ data. For this data set, the data you enter should only be the numbers that represent the information presented above, with the following column heading and rows of data: Column name: ID, Rows of data: 1 through 10 Column name: Gender, Rows of data: Male = 1, Female = 2 Column name: Age: (just type in the number) Column name: Race, Rows of data: Hispanic = 1, African American = 2, European American = 3, 
Asian American = 4, Native American = 5 In addition, create a codebook on the second sheet of your Excel document, so that other people who view your data set can understand what the numeric answer for different variables represent. It will look as simple as this: Gender (male = 1, female = 2) Age: number in years Ethnicity (Hispanic = 1, African American = 2, European American = 3, 
Asian American = 4, Native American = 5 Need Excel help? Click on the Excel Function Help Workbook under Course Materials.Due: Sunday, 11:59 p.m. (Pacific time)Points: 50

Step 1: View the following video: Why care continuity means never discharging patients:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mx08kmDxgmMStep 2: Review the Continuity and Coordination of Care by the World Health Organization: https://apps.who.int/iris/bitstream/handle/10665/274628/9789241514033-eng.pdf?ua=1Step 3: Read the following article – How important is continuity of care. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2083711/pdf/381.pdfStep 4: View the following video: Communicating with Doctors as a New Nurse or Nursing Student Tips:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jr4gfgZzMjcContinuity of care is defined as the sound, timely, smooth, unfragmented and seamless transition of a client from one area within the same healthcare facility, from one level of care to a higher and more intense level of care or to a less intense level of care based on the client's status and level of acuity, from one healthcare facility to another healthcare facility and also any discharges to the home in the client's community.Maintaining the continuity of care requires that the nurse, and other members of the healthcare team, identify current client needs and then move the client to the appropriate clinical area, to the appropriate level of care, and to the appropriate healthcare facility in a timely and effective manner.The Nurse’s role in Continuity of Care:Coordinate care with the interprofessional teamAct as a liaison and be a client advocateComplete admission, transfer, discharge, and post-discharge prescriptionsInitiate, revise, and evaluate the plan of careReport the client’s statusCoordinate discharge planningFacilitate referrals and use of community resources.Communication, collaboration and cooperation among and between appropriate healthcare team members and the client are essential components of the continuity of careInitial Discussion Assignment:Part 1: Create a detailed scenario in which a patient with frequent re-admissions for Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) is successfully integrated into a care plan that exhibits continuity of care from admission to successful discharge to home with follow-up visits and monitoring. You are not allowed to simply agree or disagree in your responses to the initial postings. All responses must have evidence-based reasons why you agree or disagree and must be supported by research. At least one evidence-based article must be referenced.Part 2: Your patient has transitioned home; however, during a follow-up visit you notice that the patient is having a mild exacerbation and you need to notify the patients doctor for possible admission. Create a detailed ISBAR report prior to calling the physician.
