In Part One, I want you to answer the following:
1. What is the hypothesis for study one? Please give me both the null and alternative hypotheses when you answer this question
2. What is the independent variable(s) for study one? Make sure you tell me how many IVs there are and how many levels there are for each IV
3. What is the dependent variable(s) for study one? Note: there are several of these, so focus on the ones the author analyzed.
4. What did they find in study one? Give the general outcome
5. What is the hypothesis for study two? Please give me both the null and alternative hypotheses when you answer this question
6. What is the independent variable(s) for study two? Make sure you tell me how many IVs there are and how many levels there are for each IV
7. What is the dependent variable(s) for study two? Note: there are several of these, so focus on the ones the author analyzed.
8. What did they find in study two? Give the general outcome
9. I want you to review the references and spot the reference(s) that is (are) not in APA format and rewrite it for me according to APA rules. Note: there may be as few as zero and as many as ten incorrect references, so make sure to look at them all!
In Part Two:
Write an abstract for the paper! This should be fairly easy, as you can paraphrase the information from Part One. However, this time you need to write it in one short paragraph (150 to 200 word maximum!). Note: there are two studies, and you have to mention both. Yes, this is tough, but authors often summarize (in the same short abstract) papers that they wrote that may include six or seven different studies! My suggestion is to find the overlap between both studies and discuss both simultaneously. For example, “Both studies looked at X, but study two also examined Y.” Make sure your abstract starts at the top of its own page (it should be all on its own). Your abstract should include the following:
1. Include the word “Abstract” at the top of your abstract
2. Identify the general problem or research question (the hypotheses) for both studies.
3. Note the participants for both studies
4. Note the IVs and DVs for the studies
5. Note the findings for both studies
6. Note the overall conclusions / implications of the two studies
7. Please include keywords for the study (at least 5 keywords or phrases – these are not included in the total word count)

Why is understanding the health care system at the local level important to consider when planning an EBP implementation? Conduct research and solicit anecdotal evidence from your course mentor that you will take into consideration for your own change project.
The project in question is the turn team project that we’ve discussed previously. Turn and preposition every two hours to prevent skin breakdown.
Having a budget is critical for the financial stability of an organization. Keeping track of how well the organization is actually adhering to the budget, and subsequent identification of why the budget numbers are being missed is equally important. Without this critical “why” piece, it is difficult to make the necessary adjustments to the budget or to organizational behavior that might be promoting overspending.
A good budget is built with thoughtful consideration of future costs and revenue. Though your budget is formulated with expected figures in mind, the actual resulting values may vary considerably. This variance–from projected to actual–can be a pleasant surprise or a fiscal nightmare and can make financial decision making difficult. Fortunately, variance analysis can enable management to determine why variance occurred and what can be done to mitigate its effects.
For those not comfortable with the use of Microsoft Excel, this week’s Optional Resources suggest several tutorials.
To prepare:
Note: For those Assignments in this course that require you to perform calculations you must:
Use the Excel spreadsheet template for the Week 8 assignment
Show all your calculations and formulas in the spreadsheet.
Answer any questions included with the problems (as text in the Excel spreadsheet).
For this Assignment run a variance analysis. Based on the information you obtain: assess the results of the analysis, suggest potential causes of the budget variances and an explanation for addressing the situation.
Using the following performance data calculate the volume adjusted labor rate variance and volume adjusted efficiency variance. Your Variable Expense Factor is 40% and your Volume Change Factor is 50%.
Note: Submit the Excel spreadsheet containing your Salary Variance Scenario calculations to the Assignment submission link.
In the past, students expressed confusion on which cells to complete on the week 8 assignment. To reassure you and perhaps, make it simpler, I have highlighted all cells that should have data in them on this assignment. That data may be simply transferred from data provided, or require you to complete a formula. I hope this helps.

On your Excel assignments with a narrative, I have a request.
Please click on the narrative cell box (where you will write your answer; then look at the tool bar on top- click Wrap Text. This will keep your narrative answer in a viewable box. Otherwise it runs off the screen. This is a big help to me as I can grade the assignment within the Blackboard system. If it is not done I have to download and expand that box (using wrap text) then reupload it again. This prevents me from putting feedback directly into the grading tool on your assignment. Here is a screenshot:
Thank you for your help with this on the week 8 and week 10 assignments! Dr Deb
The highlighted areas are where you need to complete! Don’t forget to Wrap Text!
