This is the discussion

 

 

 

Nursing informatics is defined as the combination of nursing science, information science, and computer science (McGonigle, D., & Mastrian, K. G.,2 018). “Nursing informatics roles have taken many forms in focus and function over the last decades. Whereby the role of nursing informatics specialists will continue to evolve at an increasingly rapid rate in the and unfolding of new health care paradigms and connectivity between care providers and patients” (Nagle, L. M., Sermeus, W. & Junger, A. (2017). My focus is on how my current and previous experiences in different organizations collect blood samples/specimens from patients. Organizations should utilize existing data such as the patient’s hand band and employee identification card or numbers more efficiently. When drawing a patient’s blood sample, it should require a scan by the staff drawing the blood specimen. All employee already has an identification number, and patients have a medical identification number that is already in use for other purposes, such as when administering medications.

 

After the employees scan their badge or input, their identification first, then they will proceed to scanning the patient identification band before collecting the blood sample/ specimens.  scanning patient’s wrist band and employee badge will assist in determining the accurate time the blood sample was collected, the time it was received in the lab, and when the results are recorded into patients records or nurses is informed of the outcome. In some cases, I personally place multiple calls to the laboratory to get lab results for my patient. The laboratory stating the specimen is processing. When the specimen results are finally ready, the time that the sample was received initially is the time the laboratory documents the specimen results. Furthermore, a nurse leader should collect data from patients scheduled lab orders from the time the order is placed, specimen collections time, time received in laboratory and the time the results is available to other clinicians. By doing this, it will eliminate the delay, discrepancies of specimens among nurses, laboratory staffs, and provide timely efficient treatments from physicians.

Market research has indicated that customers are likely to bypass Roma tomatoes that weigh less than 70 grams. A produce company produces Roma tomatoes that average 78.0 grams with a standard deviation of 5.2 grams.

 

 

 

(a) [2 marks] Assuming that the normal distribution is a reasonable model for the weights of these tomatoes, what proportion of Roma tomatoes are currently undersize (less than 70g)? 

 

 

 

 

 

(b) [2 marks] How much must a Roma tomato weigh to be among the heaviest 20%? 

 

 

 

 

 

(c) [2 marks] The aim of the current research is to reduce the proportion of undersized tomatoes to no more than 2%. One way of reducing this proportion is to reduce the standard deviation. If the average size of the tomatoes remains 78.0 grams, what must the target standard deviation be to achieve the 2% goal?

 

 

 

 

(d) [3 marks] The company claims that the goal of 2% undersized tomatoes is reached. To test this, a random sample of 20 tomatoes is taken. What is the distribution of the number of undersized tomatoes in this sample if the company’s claim is true? Explain your reasoning.

Instructions

 

For this task, acknowledging the diversity of students today, identify one particular challenge that interests you as it relates to today’s students in PK-12 classrooms.  Your reading from Chapter 1 discusses several types of students from cultural differences, learning styles, disabilities, and whether or not English is their first language. Keep these in mind for your paper this week. 

 

Your assignment is to write a paper in which you analyze one of the three major learning theories: constructivism, behaviorism, or cognitivism. Then, explore why learning theory is at the core of effective models of teaching. Include the following in your paper: 

 

1. Offer an overview using a chart or narrative format of your chosen theory. The overview should include the definition and general implications of the theory;
2. Identify at least one prominent theorist associated with your chosen theory and describe the contributions of that theorist;
3. Explain how that theory is relevant or important in education and offer at least two examples of teaching approaches associated with your chosen theory.
4. Identify a particular area of student diversity (e.g., English Language Learners, gifted and talented, special education, disabilities, homeless) and then analyze the implications of the theory for a certain teaching practice as it relates to the type of student diversity you identified.
