About grammar and usage:
o In this academic graduate school setting, it is expected that spelling, punctuation, and grammar are correct to ensure that ideas and information are clearly communicated to the reader.
Sources, and paraphrasing:
• The content presented in your “Case Presentation” discussion posts should be derived from scholarly or secondary sources.
• Please review the syllabus for clarification on what constitutes a scholarly source for this course.
 For instance, the textbook is not considered a scholarly source.
• While you may possess a strong understanding of a disease process, failing to cite the source of your knowledge renders the content as mere opinion. Therefore, your submission should contain minimal to no directly cited content.
• Papers based solely on opinion will receive a score of zero.
• While there’s no strict cap on the number of sources permissible, each assignment does carry an expectation regarding the minimum utilization of scholarly sources.
• Please refer to the Rubric for further details.
• Your written response should reflect your own explanation. Take care to thoroughly review the “Paraphrasing and Plagiarism” course announcement as it contains vital information, including a detailed guide on effective paraphrasing techniques.
• When evaluating your work, I will:
• Check the Turnitin Score
 Turnitin primarily checks submitted documents for similarities with its extensive database of academic content, including previously submitted papers, articles, books, and internet sources. It identifies instances of text that match existing content, highlighting potential plagiarism or improper citation. Additionally, Turnitin evaluates writing style, syntax, and grammar to detect anomalies that may indicate plagiarism or inappropriate use of sources. Overall, Turnitin aims to ensure academic integrity by helping educators and institutions identify and address instances of unoriginal work.
• Additionally, if a paper generated by an AI model contains text that closely resembles content from its extensive database or other online sources, Turnitin may flag it as potentially plagiarized.

As a nurse researcher, you are interested in the factors that determine patient

As a nurse researcher, you are interested in the factors that determine patient satisfaction with care provided. You want to see if there is a relationship between the numbers of visits to a doctor, money spent on paying medical bills, money spent on medications and patient satisfaction. You asked 140 people to answer your anonymous online questionnaire where you asked them how many visits they had in last two years, how much money they spent and if they were satisfied with care (visual analog scale was used for this variable).
Task: Using the data in the file attached, explore the relationship between patient satisfaction and (1) money spent on medications, (2) money spent on paying medical bills, and (3) number of visits to a doctor. Assess centrality and variability of the data for each variable, calculate desсrіptive statistics for each variable, build appropriate charts (graphs) for the variables and evaluate normality. Interpret each graphs: scatterplot, histogram, Q-Q plot, box plot. If the data is not normally distributed for a variable, run spearman rho where appropriate or if it is linear, run Pearson correlation. Report findings and your conclusion using APA (7th ed) format and providing output from the SPSS where appropriate. All the data output should be calculated using SPSS and included in the assignment in the word format with images and detailed interpretations. Calculate kurtosis/skewness and interpret as well. Attaching the data for the participants. I cannot attach as excel so I am attaching page by page data for 140 participants.

Interprofessional collaboration is a critical aspect of a nurse’s work. Through

Interprofessional collaboration is a critical aspect of a nurse’s work. Through interprofessional collaboration, practitioners and patients share information and consider each other’s perspectives to better understand and address the many factors that contribute to health and well-being (Sullivan et al., 2015). Essentially, by collaborating, health care practitioners and patients can have better health outcomes. Nurses, who are often at the frontlines of interacting with various groups and records, are full partners in this approach to health care.
Reflection is a key part of building interprofessional competence, as it allows you to look critically at experiences and actions through specific lenses. From the standpoint of interprofessional collaboration, reflection can help you consider potential reasons for and causes of people’s actions and behaviors (Saunders et al., 2016). It also can provide opportunities to examine the roles team members adopted in a given situation as well as how the team could have worked more effectively.
As you begin to prepare this assessment you are encouraged to complete the What is Reflective Practice? activity. The activity consists of five questions that will allow you the opportunity to practice self-reflection. The information gained from completing this formative will help with your success on the Collaboration and Leadership Reflection Video assessment. Completing formatives is also a way to demonstrate course engagement
Note: The Example Kaltura Reflection demonstrates how to cite sources appropriately in an oral presentation/video. Your assessment will reflect on either a professional collaboration you experienced or a collaboration case study scenario that you imagine you experienced

This assessment will help you to become a reflective practitioner. By considering your own successes and shortcomings in interprofessional collaboration, you will increase awareness of your problem-solving abilities. You will create a Kaltura video of your reflections, including a discussion of best practices for interprofessional collaboration and leadership strategies, supported by references to the literature.You may choose to reflect on a collaborative interprofessional project you worked on in your current or former place of practice, or you may choose to imagine that you worked on the collaborative interprofessional scenario presented in the Assessment 01 Supplement: Collaboration and Leadership Reflection Video [PDF] resource.Scenario
As part of an initiative to build effective collaboration at a site where you work as a nurse, you have been asked to:Reflect on an interprofessional collaborative project.
Examine what happened during the collaboration.
Identify positive aspects and areas for improvement.
Research best practice for interprofessional collaboration.
Use lessons learned from your research and experience to create a video reflection (5-10 minutes) that share suggestions for improving interprofessional collaboration that can be shared with leadership and colleagues.
