For the MSN prepared nurse, knowledge of epidemiology and its application to preventive screening guidelines is important in many clinical areas; administrative, informatics, education and nurse practitioner fields. Consider you are working in a clinic and need to order a preventive screening on a patient for one of the conditions listed below. (While this is a preventative measure, it also can be a diagnostic tool in other circumstances. For this Assignment the screening is a secondary prevention measure.)

Please select one screening. Your screening methodology must come from the National Clearinghouse guidelines.

• Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm
• Breast Cancer

Explain the guideline, the correct application of the screening, and the epidemiology behind the guidance. Content required should include epidemiologic data such as statistical information as available ex. morbidity, mortality, incidence and prevalence of condition. Identify risk factors, risk assessment, testing interval, description of the patient population, screening test recommendations and other factors relative to the guideline.

Week 7 – Assignment: Interpret Transformational and Transactional Leadership in Healthcare

Instructions

In the quest for quality care, human resource management systems must be established—ranging from the selection of new employees to the compensation of current employees. Those systems must support the long- and short-term goals of the organization and, therefore, require transformational (developmental) and transactional (control) facets to their design and implementation.

Based on this information, prepare a paper responding to the following:

Conduct research to provide at least four examples of transformational leadership in a healthcare setting, and then explain the impact of this leadership style.

Conduct research to provide at least four examples of transactional leadership in a healthcare setting, and then explain the impact of this leadership style.

Explain how the two forms of leadership are used in a complementary manner.

Support your paper with three scholarly sources. In addition to these specified resources, other appropriate scholarly resources, including older articles, may be included.

Length: 5-7 pages, not including title and reference pages

Your paper should demonstrate thoughtful consideration of the ideas and concepts presented in the course by providing new thoughts and insights relating directly to this topic. Your response should reflect scholarly writing and current APA standards.

Research: Writing Like a Scholar

A research paper is an expanded essay that presents your own interpretation, evaluation, or argument, using what knowledge is already available on the subject. This type of paper involves studying a topic in order to find the best possible information in that field. Your paper must present your own opinions and ideas supported by your research, correctly credited to the original authors and organizations.

Basic Requirements:

• Length:900-1,500 words. A minimumof 900 words is required in order for your essay to be substantial. What is important is that you get your point across.
• Organization:Introduction, supporting paragraphs, and a conclusion.
• Language:Use formal language and avoid the use of first and second person — avoid references to yourself (NO “I believe, in my opinion” etc.), no personal anecdotes, and do notaddress the reader (avoid “you” altogether).
• Documentation:five correctly documented quotesor paraphrases from five adequate sources.
• Style:APA style is usually used for the type of research you will be doing. Continue in that style unless otherwise stated by your professor.
• Cross-referencing:You must usein-textcitations (also known as in-text references) or signal phrases each time you use the words or ideas of your sources in the essay. Cross-reference your work as explained in your handbook. The handbook is especially necessary for this essay.
• Support:You’ll need a minimum of five sources. Support your ideas with expert opinion, facts, statistics, and other information you find in your research. It is a mistake to create a Frankenstein research paperby copying and pasting.
• Take a position:This is not merely a pro/con paper where you list both sides of an argument. In this paper, you will take a side. Know your position.
• State the opposition’s viewpoint:Because this is an argument, you must bring up the opposition’s position anddo your best to establish counterarguments to refute it.
• Do more research:A minimum of five references is required for this paper. They must all be from different sources.
• Write in formal English:This is a research paper, so keep to the formal third person (avoid “I” and “You”) and avoid personal anecdotes.
• Proofread carefully!If you are not sure of your writing skills, you may go to one of the MDC campuses to the Writing Lab where tutors are available. You may also use free online tutoring through Smartthinking.com. Go to the link under Tools and Resources (side menu) to find out about this resource.
• Revise, edit, and proofread.I can’t stress this enough.
• Format correctlyaccording to the documentation style your professor assigns. To assure that your Microsoft Word program does not force those extra spaces on you, remember to go to Paragraph > and click on the box on the left-hand corner that reads “do not add extra spaces between like paragraphs.”
• Formatting/ Typing Guidelines for Research Paper

  • Convert your papers to Microsoft Word before submitting.
  • In Microsoft Word, make sure you look under the Paragraph section. On the bottom of the left-hand side, there is a box which reads “Do not add extra spaces to like paragraphs.” Check that box! In academic papers, there are no extra spacesbetween the paragraphs. Instead, you must indent each new paragraph. I recommend tapping the tabkey to indent.
  • The research paper must be typed, double-spaced.
  • Pages must be numbered. Use the correct pagination formatfor the documentation style your instructor has chosen.
  • The title of your paper is centered, using the same font and font size as the rest of the paper. Your title must notbe bold, underlined, or italicized.
  • Use Times New Roman 12 pt. font.
  • Use one-inch marginsat the top, bottom, and sides of each page.
  • Long quotes:Quotations of forty or more wordsin the typescript (APA) or four lines (MLA) should be set apart followed by the page number. Shorter passages are integrated into the text of the paper.
  • APA requires a cover page with a running head, an abstract, and a References page. Do not neglect to include these.
