dentify at least one alternate health profession, such as PA-C, and a related professional organization, such as the American Academy of Physician Assistants.

Prepare a PowerPoint presentation that answers the following:

  • What is your interest in this profession?
  • What are your goals regarding this profession? Describe the plans you have made towards this goal in the past year.
  • What is the growth trend for this profession, especially as there is a continuing shortage of medical professionals in the U.S.?

In addition, your presentation should address the following:

  • What was Florence Nightingale’s role in establishing nursing as a formal occupation?
  • Compare and contrast the types of nursing programs described in Cockerham (2007) to the available nursing programs listed on the All Nursing Schools Web site.

Write additional information in the Notes section of the PowerPoint presentation.

Explain how the butane torch could have gotten into the field where the cows were.

ou as the supervisor for the city arson squad. At 11:00 p.m., you leave the city for the suburbs to a large dairy farm on a suspicious fire call. Upon your arrival, you note the cows are all milling about in an adjacent pasture. The battalion fire chief reports the presence of over 200 cows in the pasture next to the barn when his fire department personnel arrived. The farm has been burned to the ground, and a huge explosion was reported by neighbors. The dairy barn has two stories. The ground story is for the cows locked in stanchions, and the second floor is hay storage. A silo is attached that was about one-third filled with grain at the time of the fire.

You have Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosive (ATF) agents for support. They have conducted a sweep of the entire scene and found no evidence of explosives. Because of the explosion, there is a concern of arson for which you have a search warrant. While inspecting the scene, one of your arson scene investigators finds a butane torch artifact that is very charred about 100 feet from the base of the silo in the field where the cows are. You learn from the detective that the farmer has just lost his government subsidy for corn production in the ethanol program, and he is financially struggling.

 

  • Concerning the violent explosion reported by numerous witnesses and the fact that no explosive residue was found by the ATF, consider the structure and its uses; identify 2 other sources for the explosion that may have caused the fire.
  • What issues regarding the livestock support the theory of arson?
  • Explain how the butane torch could have gotten into the field where the cows were.
  • What is your theory on the explosion and the motive for arson?

Explain how the researchers formulated their conclusion, any weaknesses in their analysis or conclusions, and offer at least one alternate interpretation of their data.

When conducting original research, the final step researchers must complete is weighing the evidence and interpreting the meanings of their data, statistics, and analyses. This is the culmination of the research process in which all of the research methods and designs can be synthesized into a meaningful conclusion. In this stage, researchers should formulate explanations for what their data indicates, determine whether the data answers their initial research question, identify areas of uncertainty, and consider directions for further research.

In this Discussion, you focus on one of the research articles that you identified for Part 2 of the Course Project (Literature Review). You then explore the process of how the researchers generated conclusions based on their data, consider other possible interpretations of their data, and formulate ideas for further research.

To prepare:

  • Review this week’s Learning Resources, focusing on how researchers find meaning in their data and generate sound conclusions. Pay particular attention to Table 2 in the article, “Study Design in Medical Research.”
  • Revisit the 5 articles that you identified in Part 2 of the Course Project. Select one to consider for the purpose of this Discussion.
  • Read sections of the chosen article where the data is presented, analyzed, and interpreted for meaning. What reasoning process did the researchers use to formulate their conclusions? What explanation did they give to support their conclusions? Were there any weaknesses in their analysis or conclusions?
  • Consider possible alternate conclusions that the researchers could have drawn based on their data.
  • Examine the findings that the article presents and consider how well they addressed the researcher’s initial question(s). What additional research could be done to build on these findings and gain a fuller understanding of the question?

Post on or before Day 3 an APA citation and brief summary of the research article that you selected. Describe the data and the results of any statistical tests or analyses presented in the article. Explain how the researchers formulated their conclusion, any weaknesses in their analysis or conclusions, and offer at least one alternate interpretation of their data. Propose at least one additional research study that could be done t

Describe ethical considerations with regard to marketing to children.

  • Describe ethical considerations with regard to marketing to children. 
  • When the marketers’ pitch includes a cause component, such as a breakfast cereal that promises to provide breakfasts to undernourished school children, explain whether this is ethical or unethical marketing.  Explain your viewpoint (with your own voice) and support your assertions with scholarly resources. 

  • You must use the text and at least one additional scholarly source.

  •  
  • Do not copy and paste information from the Google search, or internet pages, or your text book. If you want to quote something (with proper citation), you should then add your thoughts and discuss how you find that information related to your viewpoint. Do not repeat the facts of the text or DQ.
