Month: May 2018
The order is for writer 348720. Hi peter, I had ordered in the past 3-4 months a dissertation to be written on topic ” how does leadership effect quality of care in nursing’. On the dissertation have been working 3 writers and i ended up ‘failed’.One of the dissertation parts was written by you but i thimk the main issues are not there. I will attach the dissertation and the comment from the markers and the articles which have been used to write it. can you please fix it according to the markers comments cause its last chance to pass. Please let me know if that service is under “editing” or something else. I believe my methodology section is very poor too.I have paid for 17 pages but i am not sure how it works with the editing services as the part which you did is mainly ok apart from the comment of the marker that you have been using another student’s dissertation in your work. Please contact me if you have any questions. The marker comments were:
Areas for further development: You have lost a lot of marks because your written English is difficult to follow. With many syntax and spelling errors, your meaning is unclear, or contradicts what you are saying. For example: you discuss ‘medical errors’, in an ELR related to nursing leadership. My guess is that you mean medication administration errors, which would make more sense. Your methodology is flawed for several reasons: • Your research question is not clear from the start, thus your topic is not clear either. • Your keys words do not mention medication errors, but this topicforms part of your rationale and you discuss this within your analysis. If medication errors came up in the articles that selected using your key terms, then ‘medication errors’ would be a theme, or sub-theme of theme 2. • You have used other students ELR assignments as your evidence base. You could score more marks by further development of your referencing, as you lost a significant amount of marks here. For example: Almuktat and Bellow are not in your reference list; and there are significant errors and misspellings.There are citation errors see page 15 – 16 and page 16 and page 25 for two examples. There are areas, particularly within the introduction and rationale, where references are needed to back up what is being suggested. Luis and Maria (2016) seem to be chosen paper to discuss in your first theme but is not present within appendix 1. The range of literature chosen could have been broader and from a greater variety of sources in order to provide a good coverage relevant to the dissertation topic. There are omissions in the reference list for example: Chiok and Loke (2001) do not feature. There are also errors such as every year missing brackets and Boler, Buckley and Proudfoot (2007) paper title is in capital letters. As mentioned above, some of your evidence is not robust enough. This means that you have not demonstrated your knowledge base, or your ability to integrate in practice. Some of this may also have been affected by your spelling errors.You have demonstrated some analysis, however, you could have scored far more marks by considering the different leadership style in more detail: providing definitions and descriptions of each style, and by identifying the differing rationales that your articles presented. Your discussion did not pick up on the factors affecting staffing in the current climate, just that more staff would be an answer to the problem with errors. This also demonstrates that you were biased towards the staffing agenda, rather than how effective leadership can improve patient care.
The diagnosis given is that of Cirrhosis. I am attaching the grading rubric with the scenario.
James Alverez is a 52 y.o., recently divorced, Hispanic male; new patient who arrives at the community health clinic for an appointment with a primary care NP. His chief complaint of abdominal pain and vomiting, fatigue, and weight loss. He notes that although he has experienced overall weight loss, his stomach “looks huge.” As his history is taken, he notes no alcohol use. In speaking with him, the NP notices a yellow tinge to the whites of his eyes. During examination, the NP notes organomegaly in the right upper quadrant.
In a document not to exceed four double-spaced pages:
1 What would be your priority diagnosis for James?
2 Identify the organ and describe the pathophysiological processes, which may have caused the organomegaly. Within your description, place in bold font the key pathophysiological concepts (terms).
3 Develop a comprehensive and holistic plan of care for this patient based on James’ diagnosis.. Include recommendations for follow-up with the NP. Incorporate a population-based component to James’ plan of care.
Include citations from the text or the external literature. Please use the Assignment 3 rubric below to help you complete this assignment.

Please use four references
analyze how the department is organized and determine, what are various functions of the police department’s, units/divisions?Also from the organizational chart you receive, you will suggest what changes you would make to the organizational chart if you were the Chief of Police of that agency and why you would make those changes.
You then might continue your paper by writing about the demographics in the city of Baltimore.Is it an urban city or a suburban town? Where is it located in this country? Maybe talk a little about their history. Also talk about the current crime situation in Baltimore. What are the major issues in Baltimore?Also, these facts can be used later in your paper to assess what changes you might want to make to, “your police department”. For example, more traffic officers because of the traffic related incidents. Maybe there’s a corruption problem in your P.D. so you move officers over to the professional standards division (or internal affairs). etc, etc. Is the B.P.D. properly staffed? Do you need to hire more officers to combat crime issues?How would you go about this process? You are the chief you decide what’s most important and while doing so justify your moves
Also in your research paper, you should break down Baltimore’s Police Departments’ Organization Chart,making reference to some of the ways the Police Department’s job responsibilities are grouped and disseminated. How many police officers work for the P.D.? How many civilians are also employed? What are some of the subsystems? Is the B.P.D. mainly concerned with crime control, order maintenance or a social services type of policing? What is the mission,objectives and goals of the B.P.D.? Do they even have any of these? You might suggest one. Make sure you reference the things you mentioned in your paper.
Case Study Outline
Below, I’ve sketched out an outline for you to follow in writing your case study, which is our final project for the class. I hope this helps!
When writing, as is common in APA style, you should include the section numbered section headings, like they are written here.
1 Introduction
In this section, you should condense and boil down your proposal. What themes from your LAB or interview did you explore in your research, and what questions did you have?
You should also include a preview of the research that answers the questions that you outline above.
This work can be done in the span of 1 or 2 shorter paragraphs.
2 Preliminary data
In this section you will briefly discuss how the data from your LAB or interview suggests the themes that you outline from your introduction.
If you’re using info from your interview, this is a chance to use some of the thick description that you wrote.
If you’re using info from your LAB this is a chance to use some of the descriptions of the concrete episodes that you wrote.
The goal of this section is to give your reader a general overview of the data you will be working with.
This work can be done in the span of 1 or 2 shorter paragraphs.
3 research
In this part of the project you will begin using ICET to discuss the research that you’ve found in the library/through the library website.
We can think of the “T” in ICET in a few other ways:
I: introduce
C: Cite, paraphrase (APA).
E: explain
T: Thesis or theme or transition.
In this new, so to speak, “T” you can relate your source-based paragraph back to the themes you discussed in your introduction or you can use the “T” to transition to the discussion of your next source.
By the end of this section, you should have presented your reader with a clear picture of the ideas that you discovered in the research process. You need to do this in order apply these ideas in your analysis/synthesis section.
4 Analysis/synthesis
In this section you will use both your primary data from your LAB or interview and the ideas from your research.
You will format this by using a “double” source-based paragraph, or the “club” quotation sandwich.
I: Introduce
C: Cite, paraphrase source # 1(APA).
E: explain.
T: transition
C: Cite, paraphrase source # 2 (APA).
E: explain.
T: Thesis.
5 Conclusion
In this section, you will describe the new ways in which you can view the data you collected in your LAB or interview.
You will answer the questions:
What did you learn from applying the ideas from your research to your data in your analysis/synthesis section?
What new questions came up for you in the process of writing this that would require further research?
The intended participants are Female students at university in Saudi Arabia
You have to include the following :
Title and abstract: In case of predefined PhD projects, a title is usually provided by the university. In other cases, an applicant is expected to provide a preliminary title which will be further elaborated in the process of thesis writing. An abstract should usually be no longer than a page, and provide a brief summary of what you are going to cover in your research proposal.
Literature review: The literature review demonstrates the applicant’s knowledge of the main research achievements in the area of study. You should pay attention to providing some of the key references in your area of research which requires doing extensive research on your part.
Research Questions :
3
Research problem, aim and objectives: As a result of your literature review, you should identify the main gap in your research area on which you are going to focus in your PhD project. Once the research problem is identified, you will be able to pose the main aim and objectives of your project.
You should dedicate some space to Research methodology, or, in other words, explaining how you are going to go about doing your research. This section also demonstrates your knowledge of the existing research methodologies in your area of study.
The Exit Strategy, Valuation, and Doing The Deal
During this week we will discuss the importance of harvesting by crafting an exit strategy. Entrepreneurs pour their hearts and souls into their ventures and sacrifice much along the way. Harvesting is seeking to create an exit strategy in order to convert the hard work and commitment into some financial benefit. A range of possible harvest strategies exist.
Some strategies might involve a partial sale of ownership to an investor with the specific intention to attract capital to expand business capacity, while other exit strategies involve the owners transferring full ownership to the investor and walking away. Regardless of the quantum of investment by the investor and the equity share acquired, the investment event will require a valuation of the business. We consider two valuation methods appropriate to early stage/emerging ventures.
The week concludes by reviewing aspects of doing the deal with the investor, including the- deal structure and Term Sheet issues.
WEEKLY OBJECTIVES
At the conclusion of this week, you should:
•Understand the need and importance of creating an exit strategy
•Apply a basic valuation to an emerging business using discounted cash flow (DCF) and present value (PV).
•Understand the process of negotiating a deal, the deal structure, and key Term Sheet issues.
Task;
Consider the following scenario:
You are a team member of an entrepreneurial team of 5 in a venture which is in the high-growth stage. Two of the team members have decided that their priorities have changed, and they need to spend more time with their families and want to exit the venture. The team agrees that this is an appropriate time to consider possible harvesting strategies.
Q. What are the key issues the team needs to address in order to maintain the value of the venture in preparation for their exit? Advise on available options.
Renaissance
Following the oppression of the “Dark Ages,” people of the Renaissance saw the rise of secularism, humanism and hedonism. How do Renaissance madrigals illustrate this shift in philosophy? Please discuss polyphony, typical topics found in madrigal texts, and the use of vernacular language.
Music Appreciation
One of the main goals of this course is to deepen your understanding of music and its relationship to society. No doubt, you came into this class with preconceived ideas about music. Identify at least three (3) views that you held before taking this class that changed over the course of the semester. In detail, discuss the process through which you changed your mind. Write at least one (1) paragraph on each of the views. In your discussion, describe the class activity or activities (reading, group projects, concert reports, online activities, lectures, discussions) that lead you to alter your views of music. In addition, write a paragraph describing how this class could have been more effective in answering your questions about music.
Extra Credit: Mozart and the Enlightenment
Before the Enlightenment, most composers were supported by the patronage system. That is, they were employed either by the church or the aristocracy. During his later years in Vienna, Mozart became one of the first freelance composers. What aspects of his social surroundings allowed for his entrepreneurship and how were these aspects different from the conditions of past eras? In your discussion, you should include Enlightenment philosophy, the rise of the middle class, and the emergence of public concerts.
Please answer the following three questions in order each question should be answered with 2-3 paragraphs.
Consider the following case -overweight 5-year-old boy with overweight parents. Write an explanation of the health issues and risks that are relevant to the child . Describe additional information you would need in order to further assess his or her weight-related health. Taking into account the parents’ and caregivers’ potential sensitivities, list at least three specific questions you would ask about the child to gather more information. Provide at least two strategies you could employ to encourage the parents or caregivers to be proactive about their child’s health and weight.
