Was it cost effective? For example, Did you deliver a testimony effectively or draft a bill, send letter, etc. to make a change & were any and/or all these impactful.
this assignment is after pico question. Instructions Overview: Melnyk and Fineout-Overholt (2019) recommend a review of the literature to increase your level of familiarity with the current research and identify what is known versus unknown in relationship to your Capstone project topic. A review of the literature also helps to identify the strength of the research (its level of evidence) as well as recommendations for future research. The matrix is an Excel spreadsheet that helps you organize information from the articles you selected. This brief description of the spreadsheet will make more sense if you watch the Overview of the Literature Review Matrix first! Row 1: This line includes the topic headings in each column. You do not need to edit this line. Row 2: Each column provides a brief explanation of the content you should include in each column. Rows 3 and 4: Row 3 shows how to document a qualitative research article, and row 4 shows content for a quantitative article. Rows 6-11 are the space where you will document the information pertaining to five selected references. There is space for one article/row in the spreadsheet. Keep in mind that no journal article will match your topic exactly. Example: If you are researching the use of green tea to alleviate tired feet, you will not find anything. However, you will find research related to the benefits of green tea: it has antioxidants, may improve cognitive function, can help lower the risk of some cancer, protects brain aging, etc. You would document the research findings on the matrix. You really cannot get this wrong unless.....your project is related to the benefits of green tea for sore feet, and you included articles on the benefits of debriefing in simulation - they are totally unrelated. Literature Review Matrix Information is located in NURS 4455 under the “Support Materials” folder. You can find more information related to the level of evidence (LOE) discussed in NURS 3351/Nursing Research in Polit and Beck (2022) and how they are organized based on the type of clinical question being asked and the strength of the research (p. 15). Research with the lowest quality and quantity is found at the base of the triangle, and the highest level is located at the top.

Oxidizers and explosives have been used as weapons of mass destruction (WMDs). For this assignment, you are the lead incident commander for Star City Fire Department, which is responding to an explosion at the Regional Federal Building in downtown Star City. In preparing to respond to this incident, you noted that it appears to be eerily similar to the 1995 terrorist incident at the Murrah Federal Building in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma. Information relevant to this case study incident is provided below. The ambient temperature today at 3:00 pm was 75°F, with winds blowing at 10 mph from the northwest to the southeast. The Regional Federal Building in Star City is located in a congested downtown area with an interstate freeway passing within 200 yards southwest of the Regional Federal Building. Approximately 1,550 people work at or visit the Regional Federal Building on any given weekday. The building alarm to evacuate workers and visitors from the building was sounded immediately. Assuming that the explosive blasting agent used for this Star City incident is ammonium nitrate/fuel oil (ANFO), address the questions below in your case study. Based on what we know of ammonium nitrate/fuel oil (ANFO), what are the potential hazards and DOT classifications? Describe interactions of chemicals, potential for them to react, and the conditions necessary for reactions to occur. Describe the course of action of emergency response personnel and safe distances/evacuation per ERG guidance (https://cameochemicals.noaa.gov/). Describe PPE and equipment resources needed. Your response must be at least two pages in length, not counting the title page and references page. Also, make certain your assignment is formatted in essay form, as it should not contain extensive bulleted lists of information or data. All sources used, including the textbook, must be referenced. Paraphrased and quoted materials must have accompanying in-text and reference citations in APA format. A minimum of two sources, one of which must come from the CSU Online Library, should be used. Please adhere to APA Style when creating citations and references for this assignment.

It is said that the best way to know that you understand a topic is that you are able to teach others about it. In this final project, that is what you will be doing. You will prepare a PowerPoint Presentation that teaches an audience of your choosing about each type of health insurance you learned about in this course. Video record the presentation (8-10 min) and upload both the presentation and the slide deck. Your presentation should cover: Medicare, Medicaid, Employer plans, Marketplace plans, and uninsured. Additionally be sure to cover the history, processes, consumer rights and protections, the future and possible changes, and the concerns for each. Please remember to utilize APA 7th edition. You should have citations and a Reference slide. Please check the rubric before handing in to ensure that you have met all of the criteria! Remember the rule of 5 in PowerPoints! 5 Bullet points per slide, with roughly 5 words per bullet point. PowerPoints are meant to be visual.
