Select an active bill at the state or federal level that impacts the professional practice of
nursing. In a 3-4 page paper (excluding the title and reference pages), summarize the
provisions of the bill and clearly explain what the bill will accomplish. The paper should be
no more than 4 pages, typed in Times New Roman using 12-point font, and double-spaced
with 1″ margins.
Your review of a bill paper should:
Discuss the major provisions of the bill.
Demonstrate an in-depth understanding of the legislation by explaining the
background and all relevant facts.
Discuss any relevant history related to the legislation, pertinent votes, and
issues that are stalling the legislation, etc.
Use primary sources for this information.
Identify key supporters and those who do not support the bill. Explain why
some of these individuals support the bill and why some do not.
Explore the positions of the key stakeholders in the bill, both pros and cons. Do
not make assumptions about potential key stakeholders. Examine this area
carefully so you are correctly reflecting the stakeholders positions.
Discuss how the bill would impact a nurse’s ability to provide safe and quality
care or to practice to the highest scope of the nursing license.
Explain specific actions that nurses can take to assist with the passage or defeat
of the legislation
Use Current APA Style, headings and references as appropriate.

Hello! I have my first java software oral exam coming up soon and will be asked questions and evaluated regarding this Metric Conversions (attached). Basically, I need help understanding the program in terms of the java language.
I need guidance and an explanation of how this code works and USE JAVA TERMS/LANGUAGE to explain this code (“______ is a reference that points to an object from class ______”, “this _____ object is created in order to call the _____ constructor in order to….”, “this variable is declared final because so….”, “this variable is declared as local because…”, etc.).
————————————————————————————————————————————————————————-Possible questions I could be asked:
– Definitions of the Java terms shown in the program
– Why did they choose to use this data structure/control structure etc…? (EX: Why did they decide to an if-else loop/switch statement structure/do-while loop for this part?)
– What is happening in this structure? (EX: what is happening in public static double convert(String fromUnit, String toUnit, double value))
– Instead of this structure, how would you change this program to also do …?
– What could you have done differently with this program to execute the same output? (EX: instead of this do-while structure, what could you have also done?, Instead of this switch-structure, what could you also have done?, etc.)
– What would happen if you made the following change?

ATTACHED IS THE FIRST PART OF THE PROJECT.
Vendor selection and Cost Benefit Analysis
Develop a questionnaire to give to the vendor that includes required information that you would need to help inform your selection recommendation. You need to consider all the information requirements to make an informed decision in comparing the vendors. The following are examples of questions, but these are not all inclusive:What are the vendor’s patient safety and security processes.
Describe the management process for the security of the patient/organizational information obtained and stored by the vendors’ system.
What technical requirements are required such as integrations requirements; battery maintenance and biomedical or calibration techniques that may be required.
What training opportunities are available for customers?
What is your ongoing support and maintenance plan?
Do you provide training for customers?
What costs are associated with your system? Hardware, software, licenses, etc.
Cost Benefit Analysis – Perform a cost-benefit analysis for the proposed system selection by calculating the payback period using Microsoft Excel. At this point in the project, assume you have narrowed your search to three different vendors. (You may submit all three CBAs on one Excel spreadsheet.) Assume the following: Since the hospital does not currently have a falls prevention system, expect that current resource requirements (staffing, extended patient stays and litigation costs) total $475,000 annually.
Vendor 1: System will cost $625,000 year 1; and $355,000 for all subsequent years.
Vendor 2: System will cost $500,000 year 1; and $365,000 for all subsequent years
Vendor 3: System will cost $750,000 year 1; and $300,000 for all subsequent years.
Format the Excel spreadsheet in a professional manner which allows easy comparison between the three vendors.
Determine which vendor’s system will pay for itself first and in which year this will occur. In addition, ascertain which system will be most cost-effective over time.
Compile a list of benefits that may be achieved by the new system. The benefits will be the same for all three systems: you do not need to do this for each individual vendor. This component should be formatted and suitable for submission to the Health Information Technology Steering Committee.

The goal of this assignment is to set you up for success in designing research inquiries moving forward. Part of a solid research idea and proposal is having a workable research question that is narrow enough that it can be addressed in the space provided (for example a 15-20 page research paper versus a 50-page thesis), and written in a way that is open-ended and free from bias.
1. Start your assignment with an introductory paragraph about your research topic and why it is of interest and a research “puzzle.” You want to guide your reader from your research area to your research topic, then on to your general research question, and specific research question.
While there are many ways to frame a research question, at the graduate level, your research questions should be 1) open-ended and start with “How,” “Why,” “What,” or “To what extent;” 2) should incorporate the variables you seek to assess and their relationship; and 3) should indicate how you intend to test the nature of that relationship. You want to make sure that your question has an appropriate amount of complexity so that it requires a significant amount of research and analysis. A simple Google search should not be able to answer your research question.
Too broad: How can personal ambition in politics be harmful? Too broad: How can personal ambition in politics be harmful?
Too narrow: What is Vladimir Putin’s position on ballistic missile defense?
Too vague: What is Vladimir Putin’s “operational code?”
Appropriately Complex and Focused: To what extent has Vladimir Putin been motivated by a drive for power compared to his predecessor Boris Yeltsin, and how has Putin’s personal ambitions shaped Russia’s relations with the United States?
2. Next, provide a purpose statement that conveys your intentions about what you hope to produce. See the references in your Lessons for additional insight. Often within the literature, this discussion is usually called out by a phrase like the following: “This paper examines . . .,” “The aim of this paper is to . . .,” or “The purpose of this essay is to . . .”. Remember that a purpose statement makes a promise to the reader about the development of the argument but does not preview the particular conclusions that the writer has drawn. Your purpose statement should demonstrate what you are hoping to find out, and also explain what you want your readers to understand (motivation or argument of the research). Later on, when you go to write a paper, a trick to help keep your paper focused around your purpose or argument is to paste it into the header or footer while you write.
This formula and example set from the Baruch College Writing Center may be helpful:
I am studying…
(Narrowed Topic)
…because I want to find out…
(Research Question)
….so that readers understand…
(Motivation or Argument)
Differences in Boston-based and Philadelphia-based abolitionist rhetoric……why Boston-based abolitionists emphasized broad themes of social justice……how previous scholars may have overlooked the role of free black Bostonians in shaping anti-slavery ideals.
The origins of the Glass-Steagall Act…why lawmakers supported its passage……that their motives resulted not from careful economic analysis but rather from ideological preconceptions about the role of commercial banks in society.
(From Baruch College Writing Center “Focusing Research Topics Workshop” www.writingcenter.baruch.cuny.edu)
3. Pull out the dependent (DV) and independent variable(s) (IV) that you are interesting it looking at. This needs to be specific and you need to discuss ideas for how you might go about measuring the impact that the IV as on the DV. You need to focus on one or two specific variables (and discuss how they are defined), otherwise, your research will quickly spin out of control as you will not have the capacity to effectively address the relationship between all the variables. The PRS Group offers a good list of variables they use in their research. This list is just an example of variables to show you what a variable might look like and how it might be defined.
Hypothesis: A statement for how a change or condition in one or more independent variables cause(s) a change or condition in a dependent variable.
Not all studies or research papers require the use of a hypothesis. In most cases, hypotheses are used when a study is conducting an experiment or when a study is quantitative in nature. However, this is an important skill to develop in case you do go on to complete quantitative research or conduct a formal experiment.
In this next step, you will develop a hypothesis that reflects your educated guess as to the relationship between your selected variables. You may use an “if” “then” statement or you may formulate it as a narrative statement. Finally, explain why these are the important variables to look at within this research project. Why focus on these variables and not other variables.By the time you are done, you should have at least 3-4 pages of content (double spaced in times-new roman font 12), not including the title page, and a “references list or bibliography” page. Your writing should be consistent with the professional/academic writing style. For a refresher on the conventions of academic writing please refer to the latest Turabian writing guide or APA writing manual

In this discussion, you will present your thoughts about presidential impeachment. You will watch The Trial of William Jefferson Clinton. Your initial post of 400+ words should be made. To receive credit for this online discussion, you will post an essay of approximately 400-500 words. You will place your post under the topic that has been listed in this forum. Your initial post is worth up to 8 points. Then, you are expected to respond substantively to at least four of your classmates’ posts in this discussion area. Your responses should be at least 60 words each. Only substantive words count. Remember, the responses must engage with claims made by other people. Your four responses are worth up to 2 points (a half of a point each).
You may write more than four responses if you wish. Four responses plus your initial post(s) is what is expected minimally. But you might find yourself going back and forth with other individuals, which is excellent when such interactions happen. Such interactions often suggest high engagement with the material. In this online discussion, you will think about scandal and presidential impeachment. Begin by watching The Trial of William Jefferson Clinton. You will then answer three questions in an essay about scandal and presidential impeachment. First, what do you consider to be a presidential scandal, and how do presidential scandals affect a president’s ability to lead? Second, what prompted President Bill Clinton to be impeached, and was he removed? Did the public support his impeachment and removal? Third, thinking about impeachment and removal (two different processes that should be clearly explained in your essay), under what circumstances do you think a president should be impeached, and are these circumstances the same as what should be used for removal?
As always, please use concrete examples to bolster your claims in your essay. Define, explain, and illustrate.
Your essay structure should have an introduction, a middle set of paragraphs that answer the questions in an organized fashion, and a conclusion. Conclusion paragraphs are summaries, not new answer to questions. https://video-alexanderstreet-com.ezproxy3.library.arizona.edu/wayf?account_id=8360&usage_group_id=111509&redirect=%2Fwatch%2Fthe-trial-of-william-jefferson-clinton%3Fcontext%3Dchannel%253Aacademic-video-online
