Statistical interaction may occur when we take into account the connection between three or more variables’ and report a situation in which the effect of the two variables done at the same time on the third one is not improved. When interaction occurs between two variable of interest’ the connection among each of the interacting variables and a third 6 dependent variable6 rely on the value of the interacting variable and this makes it harder to anticipate the outcomes of the value of variable that changes especially if the variable it interacts with are difficult to measure (Eastom & Mc Coll, 2014).

When two or more independent variables are involved in a research design, there is more to consider than simply the “main effect” of each of the independent variables (also termed “factors”). That is, the effect of one independent variable on the dependent variable of interest may not be the same at all levels of the other independent variable. Another way to put this is that the effect of one independent variable may depend on the level of the other independent variable.

In order to find an interaction, you must have a factorial design, in which the two (or more) independent variables are “crossed” with one another so that there are observations at every combination of levels of the two independent variables.

For example, when a nurse is administer a blood thinner  to a patient the nurse has to be careful about of some of other medication that this patient is taking.such as  vitamin k and food like green vegetable because those things can interact with that blood thinner , decrease the effect of the drug and  furthere more be life threathining for that patient. Usually, if the issue is not caught by the doctor and the nursing team, pharmacy will call for change of medication because of interaction.

Professional Development

Consider the following scenario:

Isabel recently earned certifications offered by the American Association of Critical Care Nurses and the American Organization of Nurse Executives for nurse managers and leaders. She was especially proud of this accomplishment and was confident it would serve her well as she continued her career. At a conference last week, she had found herself talking with a colleague about certification. To her surprise, her colleague suggested that she look into certification through the Project Management Institute. It had not occurred to Isabel that she might need or want that type of certification, but upon further reflection she could see how important it was to be able to manage projects effectively. She wondered how pursuing this type of certification might further her professional development and lead to new opportunities down the road. At the very least, she decided it was worth exploring further.

As you are aware, numerous nursing organizations offer opportunities for professional development, community service, and information gathering. There are also many certifications you can obtain through professional societies or organizations. Certifications recognize an individual’s specialty area knowledge and skills and can lead to professional empowerment. By obtaining certifications, you can help improve your quality of practice and increase your earning potential.

In this Discussion, you consider development opportunities afforded through professional associations and examine how earning certifications can advance your career.

To prepare:

 

• Reflect on your professional goals. These goals may relate to the practicum professional development objectives you established in Week 1, but you are encouraged to take a broader view of what you would like to accomplish in the immediate future, as well as five or 15 years from now. Identify at least one goal that is especially important to you.
• Think about the benefits of becoming involved in professional organizations and obtaining certifications.
• If you already have a specialty or clinical certification, reflect on how this has impacted the achievement of your professional goals thus far.
• Review information about two or more of the professional organizations listed in the Learning Resources. Consider the following questions:
• As you explore each organization’s website, review the mission, vision, and value statements. Also examine the strategic plan, if possible. How do these align with your interests and your professional goals?
• Investigate whether the organization offers networking opportunities with fellow professionals. Is there a local or regional chapter you could join?
• What are the potential benefits of obtaining a certification through each organization? Examine the criteria for certification.
• Evaluate your readiness and desire to become certified through each organization. What hesitations, if any, do you have?
• How and why might this certification be useful to you and/or enhance your professional development?
