Discussion Question 1
Many sources exist that are triggers for theory development through the study of concepts and their related propositions. One such trigger is the research process, which, while it answers many questions, generates others based on research outcomes. Identify some possible questions for research study, the answers to which would serve to generate theory.
Discussion Question 2
Choose a theory that finds practical application in critical care/pediatric/psychiatric nursing and discuss the origins of the theory based on the following criteria:
• How did the happenings of the nursing profession impact the origin of this theory?
• What values, evidence, or existing knowledge did the theorist cite to support the theory?
• What was the theorist’s motivation behind writing the theory?

To receive all 15 points, you must answer all questions fully (make sure there are no blank spaces on the answer pages–even between paragraphs) and be sure to add facts to back up your answers. To receive the maximum of 15 points, you must link your answer to either the factual information found in a chapter, in the Course Supplement, in one of the links provided, or if no link is provided–you must go on line and do a little research to secure facts to support your answer. You must also make sure you answer all parts of all questions that are asked. Glib, short and answers that are simply not supported by facts will not receive many points.If you do not supply facts and citations (inlcuding foot notes and page numbers and web page numbers), you will lose 5 points.

Step 3 READ!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!?After you have collected the data, write a one page impression of what this data means to you. What does the data tell you about the recruiting process for congressional elections? How much money will a challenger need to raise to be competitive against your Representative or Senator?

Based on the pattern of contributions, what would you say are the powerful interests in your district/state? Does this pattern match or reinforce your existing perceptions? Does the amount of money raised or the pattern of the contributions give you any reason to be concerned or alarmed about the prospects of democracy? Explain your reasoning and support every opinion with facts (and their sources including page numbers and web page numbers). This must be a minimum of one page (collectively and not per question), single-spaced, 12 font with no spaces between paragraphs and write a paragraph about each question.
Step 4 ?Combine the Financial Profile Table and your comments in a single document and submit the

literature review, check brief description


Select the two readings from any week between Weeks 2 and 12 and produce a 1500-
word literature review. This should be a discussion and assessment of how experts have
approached an issue: it will have an introduction, body and conclusion, well-formed
paragraphs, and a logical structure. Compare and contrast the works you are discussing,
showing their strengths and weaknesses, how they agree/disagree, and what contribution
they make to your understanding of the topic. For your literature review do not select the
same topic as for your PPT presentation. You may link the literature review and your
essay, but should be careful not to reproduce the same material.

Independent Study



In 9 pages, outline progress in the topic to be investigated:
Report on the literature reviewed to date, assessing the validity (objectivity & authenticity) of authors and
research studies (rather than opinion). e.g. looking for bias
One way to structure this activity is to summarise each article into an abstract or summary that identifies
what is relevant to you. Remember these are working notes not a complete and perfect account of your
reading. Record all references using appropriate means and style.
Write a brief description that indicates (as much as you can) how the information uncovered is helpful and
relevant to your investigation.
Report on the correspondence of the major ideas represented by the range of authors examined in respect
of their similarities and differences.
after you Finnish the second part i will order the third part , and just to remained you this is the third part
Assignment 3
Final report
In 22 pages, submit a report that provides a full assessment of the topic under consideration.

that will be suitable for other professional purposes, eg inclusion in a professional portfolio; submission to a
principal or school council; submission as an article to a journal.
