Provide the following in a 1-2 minute video or PowerPoint post (see technical guidance in the shaded area below).
PLEASE NOTE! DO NOT use outside platforms like Youtube or Tik Tok. They are not always compatible with this Canvas format.
A brief descriiption of who you are.
Your reaction to this interesting quote (which is most often attributed, perhaps wrongly, to George Bernard Shaw): “The single biggest problem with communication is the illusion that it has taken place.”
Reflecting on your personal and professional experiences communicating with others, do you agree that this is the biggest problem? If not, what would you argue is a bigger problem?
Whatever your immediate reaction is, let us know. Be honest and open. There are no right and wrong answers. This is an opportunity to get us all engaging with each other from the outset.

PICOT is an acronym used to help develop clinical research questions and guide you in your search for evidence. Finding the right answers requires the right questions. The PICOT format will help you construct questions that will likely lead to effective searches, the best available evidence of interventions, and the meaningfulness of patient experiences.
P = Patient population
I = Intervention or issue of interest
C = Comparison of interventions or comparison of interests
O = Outcome
T = Time frame (this element is not always included)*
For example, you may wish to research the effects of interrupted sleep on cognition of ICU patients 65 or older.
Using this PICOT model,
In __________(P), how does __________ (I) compared to _________ (C) influence _________ (O) over ________ (T)?
In ICU patients who are 65 or older, how does interrupted sleep (awakened one time or more in four hours) as compared to uninterrupted sleep influence the patient’s cognitive ability over 5 days?
Questions of meaningfulness and effectiveness relate to how people experience an intervention or phenomenon.
What is the effectiveness of using a turn schedule (I) versus an audible public address reminder (C) on the incidence of pressure ulcers (O) in elderly patients in LTAC who require turning (P)?
Assignment Directions
Begin by selecting a topic in nursing that is of interest to you. Next, use PICOT to format a possible research question about that topic. Provide 1 possible PICOT research question. Find 1 quantitative or qualitative peer-reviewed research article related to your nursing topic that was published within the last 5 years. Reminder: All peer-reviewed research articles have methods, discussion, and results sections. Upload the article with your paper in PDF or Word format. This source can be used again in the Week 4 article assignment if it meets the criteria.
See PICOT Formatting Guide or pages 249-257 in your book for additional help with formatting your PICOT.
Include the following:
Title page
Provide a brief description of the topic and background information (see page 37 of your textbook). You can use your text, your peer-reviewed journal source, or the EBP care sheets in CINAHL or Nursing Reference Center Database.
Explain the significance of the topic to nursing practice (see chart on page 37 of your textbook). Background information can be found in journal articles in the introduction section. Results and conclusions will speak to significance of the topic. The EBP care sheets may have sources for you to choose from.
Provide 1 clearly-stated PICOT question.
Include 1 peer-reviewed journal source related to your topic.
The chosen topic and PICOT will be used for your Week 9 poster assignment. It will also guide your article searches in Week 4 on which you will complete appraisals in Week 6. Your paper should: Be 2–3 pages (not including the title page and reference page)
Use current APA format to style your paper and to cite your source. There will be a 5 point deduction if peer-reviewed research journal article is not used and a 5 point deduction if the article is not included with your submission.
I have attached the article
The topic I choose is diabetes

THIS IS MY RESEARCH QUESTIONS AND OBJECTIVES, BUT DO NOT RESPOND THE RESERCH QUESTION FOR THE PRACTICE RECOMMENDATION
Research Question
What are the effects of aging in the immune system of elderly population?
Objectives
Analyze the effects of aging in the immune system of elderly population.
Determine the relationship between aging and the immune system of elderly population.
Identify interventions to strengthen the immune system in elderly population.

Understanding the strengths of each type of therapy and which type of therapy is most appropriate for each patient is an essential skill of the psychiatric-mental health nurse practitioner. In this Assignment, you will compare humanistic-existential therapy to another psychotherapeutic approach. You will identify the strengths and challenges of each approach and describe expected potential outcomes.
Review the humanistic-existential psychotherapy videos in this week’s Learning Resources.
Reflect on humanistic-existential psychotherapeutic approaches.
Then, select another psychotherapeutic approach to compare with humanistic-existential psychotherapy. The approach you choose may be one you previously explored in the course or one you are familiar with and especially interested in. In a 2- to 3-page paper, address the following:Briefly describe humanistic-existential psychotherapy and the second approach you selected.
Explain at least three differences between these therapies. Include how these differences might impact your practice as a PMHNP.
Focusing on one video you viewed, explain why humanistic-existential psychotherapy was utilized with the patient in the video and why it was the treatment of choice. Describe the expected potential outcome if the second approach had been used with the patient.
Support your response with specific examples from this week’s media and at least three peer-reviewed, evidence-based sources. Explain why each of your supporting sources is considered scholarly. Attach the PDFs of your sources.

The assignment is in my student portal. I will give my log in nformation. There is a video that is to be watched and then summarized withthe guidelines above.

This week’s learning activity will consist of the following:
Choose a topic that you would like to research in nursing. You may use a topic previously used in the assignments for this week. Develop a literature review abstract list (1 for each source) of 3 or more sources that supports this topic.

Obesity is a major risk factor for CVD. How do each of the social determinants of health factors impact the prevalence of obesity in a population and in what way? 3 apa scholarly citations 400 words

Please fill out the rest of the article matrix. All of the categories are based on the articles on the left hand side of the paper. If you do not have full access to those articles (there are 10 of them), please let me know so that I can attach a pdf file for you. I did not want to swamp the instructions with 10+ articles and confuse the writer, I figured you would all have access to different databases. There are two files that I attached, one is the document to fill out, and another is the example of an article matrix with all of the instructions. I cannot have more than 5 pages, reference page and title page not included. Maximum of 5 pages, and no less than 9-font times new roman single spaced.
Here are the tips for ranking:
Level 4 can be cohort study, case-control study, or cross-sectional. If it is cohort & case-control, it likely says so in the article. If it is cross-sectional, it will use stats such as multiple regression, logistic regression, odds ratio, relative risk in an attempt to “predict” the relationship (correlation). Here are a couple more resources-

Level 5 is only for the systematic review of studies (meaning the article must report that they analyze more than one study whether they are quantitative or qualitative studies.
Any SINGLE study (either quantitative or qualitative) is level 6.
Excluding the reference pages, ensure that the matrix is no more than 5 pages (of no less than font 9 –Times New Roman, single-spaced).
