What suggestions might you make to your colleague in terms of ethical standards which would apply to this career path?

 

 How Ethics Differ in Research and Therapeutic Practice
Prior to beginning work on this discussion, read the APA’s Ethical Principles of Psychologists and Code of Conduct  (Links to an external site.)Links to an external site.in its entirety, paying special attention to standards 8 and 10 that cover ethics in research and therapeutic practice. Oftentimes research methods courses discuss the ethics of research and focus on historic examples of unethical research studies. This discussion of ethics will involve a different focus. The Ethical Principles and Code of Conduct (Links to an external site.)Links to an external site. presents information on ethical standards and expectations that apply to specific situations, including therapy and research. Explain the differences between the ethical standards for clients being treated by psychologists in counseling sessions and the standards for conducting psychological research with human participants. Consider your future career in the field of psychology and describe the parts of the Ethical Principles and Code of Conduct (Links to an external site.)Links to an external site. you expect to relate directly to your future career. Select and provide the number for one ethical requirement that applies specifically to psychological research and briefly summarize the standard. Explain why this requirement may not apply to a therapy situation.
Guided Response: Review several of your colleagues’ posts and respond to at least two of your peers who selected a different ethical requirement than you by 11:59 p.m. on Day 7 of the week. You are encouraged to post your required replies earlier in the week to promote more meaningful interactive discourse in this discussion.
As you formulate your responses, answer the following questions:

  • Did your colleague provide a thorough explanation of the differences between the ethical requirements for research versus those for therapeutic practice?
  • What differences did your colleague note which you did not list in your initial post?
  • Considering the future career your colleague mentioned, did he or she correctly describe the parts of the APA code which would directly relate to that career path?
  • What suggestions might you make to your colleague in terms of ethical standards which would apply to this career path?
  • Do you concur with your colleague’s choice of ethical standard that applies specifically to psychological research?
    • If so, why? If not, what standards might you suggest your colleague consider that apply specifically to research?
  • Did your colleague provide a convincing explanation as to why this standard would not apply to therapeutic practice?
  • Can you think of additional explanations for why this requirement may not apply to a therapy situation?

Your goal is to describe the way in which an evolutionary change might occur for a particular characteristic (trait) of that species as a result of natural selection

BIOLOGY

According to the Theory of Evolution, Natural Selection is the mechanism by which evolution occurs.The process of Natural selection is based on the following four postulates (listed in your textbook on page 288):

Postulate 1 – Individual members of a population differ from one another in many respects.

Postulate 2 – At least some of the differences among members of a population are due to characteristics that may be passed from parent to offspring. That is, they are heritable or genetic.

Postulate 3 – In each generation, some individuals in a population survive and reproduce successfully but others do not.

Postulate 4 – The fate of individuals is not determined by luck. Instead, an individual’s likelihood of survival and reproduction depends on its characteristics. Individuals with advantageous traits survive longest and leave the most offspring, a process known as Natural Selection.

Choose an animal species. Your goal is to describe the way in which an evolutionary change might occur for a particular characteristic (trait) of that species as a result of natural selection. The characteristic could be something like coloration pattern, length of the limbs, or size of the teeth or beak, or any measurable trait that is inherited

RESEARCH QUESTIONS, REVIEW OF LITERATURE, AND NURSING THEORY

RESEARCH QUESTIONS, REVIEW OF LITERATURE, AND NURSING THEORY

Learning Outcomes
1. Identify a priority research topic relevant to an issue in clinical practice.
2. Formulate a research proposal problem statement, a research question, and research variables.
3. Employ search strategies and databases to find credible resources and conduct a quality literature review.
4. Explain the relationship between theory, research, and nursing practice.

Introduction
In last week’s discussion, you shared perspectives on priority research issues in your clinical practice. This week, you will continue to investigate the issue, which you will develop into a topic for the Research Proposal, to learn more about the significance of the problem to nursing. We will explore the Ashford University Library and other resources that are available to assist in performing a quality literature review and searching for evidence. After gathering evidence, you will begin the first phase of the Research Proposal, and you will formulate a problem statement and a research question and identify relevant research variables. We will also examine the relationship between theory and research and nursing practice.

These articles have been chosen from different areas to expose you to different research
content that may have reflection on your practice as a member of the healthcare team. In other
words, the article that you choose for your assignment does not have to be specific to the
degree (nursing or midwifery) that you are doing. Therefore, it is required that you read both
articles to determine which one you understand better and critique the following aspects of the
article:
Abstract
Literature review and/or background to the problem
Research Design
Findings
Discussion
Reliability & Validity/ Trustworthiness
You will need to critique these selected aspects in the context of the entire research report and
will therefore need a thorough understanding of the entire report. You will provide your critique
in short paragraph answer format, ensuring that you provide rationale for your critique,
substantiated with appropriate literature. More detailed instructions for this assessment can be
accessed through Bb.
You will need to use the information and skills that you developed during Modules 7-12 to
assist you to critique the article. In addition, you should review the chapter on ?�Reading and
critiquing research articles’ in your prescribed text and use the marking guide provided so that
you cover all the necessary aspects.

Then, pick one or more of the jobs to include in a graphical display of a potential career path. For example, if emergency care nursing is the chosen career field, the five jobs might include U.S. Army hospital, city emergency services, global natural disaster response unit, home care nursing, and state health department

Discussion #3

For this week’s discussion we will explore different career paths. From the textbook, the examples of laddered and latticed paths are discussed, but you may choose to build your own model or some combination of these.

First, make a list of five jobs in the private, public, or international sector that are within your career field of interest. Use your Career Directions Handbook as a major resource and cite that and other relevant sources of information to learn more about those jobs.

Then, pick one or more of the jobs to include in a graphical display of a potential career path. For example, if emergency care nursing is the chosen career field, the five jobs might include U.S. Army hospital, city emergency services, global natural disaster response unit, home care nursing, and state health department. Then create a latticed career path with one or more of those jobs; the following example demonstrates how some of the jobs may be interconnected as a career advances.

Please follow all instructions and answer each question.

APA format is required. Each reference must be cited at least once in the paperUse headings to organize the content in your work. Please no plagiarism and sources should be 5 years or less.
