The first step of the EBP process is to develop a question from the nursing practice problem of interest.

Select a practice problem of interest to use as the focus of your research.

Start with the patient and identify the clinical problems or issues that arise from clinical care.

Following the PICOT format, write a PICOT statement in your selected practice problem area of interest, which is applicable to your proposed capstone project.

The PICOT statement will provide a framework for your capstone project (the project students must complete during their final course in the RN-BSN program of study).

Conduct a literature search to locate research articles focused on your selected practice problem of interest. This literature search should include both quantitative and qualitative peer-reviewed research articles to support your practice problem.

Select six peer-reviewed research articles which will be utilized through the next 5 weeks as reference sources. Be sure that some of the articles use qualitative research and that some use quantitative research. Create a reference list in which the six articles are listed. Beneath each reference include the article’s abstract. The completed assignment should have a title page and a reference list with abstracts.

Suggestions for locating qualitative and quantitative research articles from credible sources:

1. Use a library database such as CINAHL Complete for your search.
2. Using the advanced search page check the box beside “Research Article” in the “Limit Your Results” section.
3. When setting up the search you can type your topic in the top box, then add quantitative or qualitative as a search term in one of the lower boxes. Research articles often are described as qualitative or quantitative.

To narrow/broaden your search, remove the words qualitative and quantitative and include words that narrow or broaden your main topic. For example: Diabetes and pediatric and dialysis. To determine what research design was used, review the abstract and the methods section of the article. The author will provide a description of data collection using qualitative or quantitative methods.

Prepare this assignment according to the guidelines found in the APA Style Guide, located in the Student Success Center. An abstract is not required.

This assignment uses a rubric. Please review the rubric prior to beginning the assignment to become familiar with the expectations for successful completion.

Deliverable length: 2–4 pages minimum

Course Objectives:

• Integrate concepts from previous lower division classes into a comprehensive project
• Apply hospitality concepts to a real world scenario
• Identify, analyze, and apply hospitality marketing data

Assignment

Develop a business concept for a viable hospitality operation. In this assignment, you will describe the business and the value it will provide to the community. You will give a detailed description of the business.

• Provide a mission statement for the venue.
• Provide a fact sheet of the proposed business model concept, including the following information:
  • Name
  • Business ownership
  • Type of operation
  • Location
  • Days and hours of operation
  • Required licenses from city, county and state
  • Seating capacity
  • Services
  • Marketable features including theme, menu style, and preferred production techniques
• Compose a descriptive concept paper describing in detail the operation and services. Explain the hospitality establishment, describing the uniqueness, ambience, products, services, and other marketable features. This paper should be an overall vision of the business and should demonstrate the marketable advantage it would add to the community.

find 2 current news article that is related to the business community (social, financial, corporate citizenship, etc.) and write a brief summary (not more than 60 secs reading it

Exploratory Data Analysis

In this assignment, you will use R to perform EDA on a dataset. The objective is for you to practice the steps of formulating and answering questions through visual analysis.

For the write up (3-5 pages, APA formatted) walk me through your understanding of EDA, both systematically from an R perspective and how you apply the visualization to your analysis (example: the histogram showed a normal distribution which tells me that the mean is…..). That is what I mean by formulating and answering questions. A normal distribution is something you look for, outliers is something you look for, missing values, etc. you look for these things and make decisions based on what you see….aka EDA! 🙂

Happy learning!

OVERVIEW

Choose a dataset: https://vincentarelbundock.github.io/Rdatasets/dat…

1. Profile and examine the data (if you have no a priori knowledge, you will need to get to know your data).
2. Pose questions—lather, rinse, and repeat as necessary.
3. Create visualizations: Interact with the data, and if necessary, refine your questions.
4. For your paper, you will want to keep a record of your analysis and prepare at least one final graphic and caption to answer an interesting question.

During your exploration of the data, create a record of various types of views: bar charts, scatterplots, time series, maps, etc., and question what you are exploring. Are there any noticeable differences in the views to support different questions? Do they reveal areas for further questions or exploration?

POSSIBLE OUTLINE

1. After assessing the data and/or its description, write down a few initial questions that you think the data may answer (comparative/correlation questions such as relationships between pairs of variables, geographically oriented questions, or time-related or trend questions).
2. Visually examine the data for answers to your initial questions.
3. If needed, refine your initial questions based on what you find. For example, did you uncover a subset of something interesting with the data? If so, isolate the subset of the data that contains an interesting feature.
4. Consider transforming your data (averages, medians, run the five-number summary, convert numbers to percentages, etc.).
5. In your paper, focus on what you found—both the expected and the unexpected.

Assignments will be graded based on the following.

• basic description of data set contents, size, and perceived quality.
• the description of your visual exploration process; view types included (bar charts, scatterplots, maps, and time series)
• the depth of your analysis and design of your visualizations

• comments and evaluation of the visualization tool, including any improvements you might make

don’t forget that formatting always matters.
