Mr. W.G. is a 53-year-old white man who began to experience chest discomfort while playing tennis with a friend. At first, he attributed his discomfort to the heat and having had a large breakfast. Gradually, however, discomfort intensified to a crushing sensation in the sternal area and the pain seemed to spread upward into his neck and lower jaw. The nature of the pain did not seem to change with deep breathing. When Mr. G. complained of feeling nauseated and began rubbing his chest, his tennis partner was concerned that his friend was having a heart attack and called 911 on his cell phone. The patient was transported to the ED of the nearest hospital and arrived within 30 minutes of the onset of chest pain. In route to the hospital, the patient was placed on nasal cannula and an IV D5W was started. Mr. G. received aspirin (325 mg po) and 2 mg/IV morphine. He is allergic to meperidine (rash). His pain has eased slightly in the last 15 minutes but is still significant; was 9/10 in severity; now7/10. In the ED, chest pain was not relieved by 3 SL NTG tablets. He denies chills.

Based on your specialty role option (i.e., Nurse Practitioner, Nurse Educator, Nurse Informaticist, Nurse Administrator), identify a potential problem (topic) that you would like to investigate through nursing research. Begin by reading the American Association of Colleges of Nursing’s (AACN) position statement on nursing research (Nursing Research).
Next explore and conduct a search to locate a minimum of three nursing research articles that have addressed the problem you have identified. The literature may not be older than 5 years.( here are the three research studies I picked)
After reading the literature respond to the following:
Note your role specialization and briefly describe the problem you are interested in researching and why this is of interest to you.
Discuss your library search strategies and briefly summarize the literature you reviewed. Focus your discussion on the “problem” and how the literature you identified provides evidence of the existence of the problem.
Include in your discussion a potential innovation that you might consider as a solution to the problem identified.
Include citations/references in APA style format, using citations where appropriate. use 3 references less than 5 years, 700 words. USE RUBRIC. APA FORMAT.

What To Do
To complete this assignment you will write a short autobiography. It should be about 5 paragraphs long. It should be written in proper academic language with careful attention to writing mechanics. Each paragraph should be fully developed with proper structure: a topic sentence, body sentences, and a concluding sentence.
1. A good definition of Interdisciplinary Studies. For this, you MUST refer explicitly to Chapter 3 of your text and to this article here: https://www.progressiveconnexions.net/2017/the-interdisciplinary-life/ (Links to an external site.). Use proper APA or MLA formatting for in-text citations and references. This chapter refers to 2 types of interdisciplinarity (critical and instrumental). Your definition must clearly explain each.
3. A creative description of yourself as a creative person. Remember the previous assignment where I provided a list of the ways you are a creative entity that you probably never considered before?
4. An explanation of how you chose IDS. What has your academic/intellectual journey been thus far?
5. What you hope to accomplish with this degree and how the IDS creative mindset can benefit you going forward.
A copy of my own Intellectual Autobiography (this was supposed to be linked in the Obojobo Module but it either went to Dr. Woodill’s IA, which is also a good example! or didn’t work).
In essence you will be selecting a topic of interest, doing a brief search of the literature surrounding that topic, and developing an abstract for your findings. Please note that many of the journal articles you are reading have abstracts in the very beginning of them that can serve as a good example. Keep in mind that abstracts are not very long in length, rather than typically a larger size paragraph (no longer than one page please).
How important is forensic science to policing and criminal investigations, court processes, and security efforts at various levels? Explain your rationale in a historical approach.

Format your paper consistent with APA guidelines. Please cite at least three different non-classroom peer reviewed literature references in the body of this report. Regarding Academic Resources, University of Phoenix Policy states: “Coursework must uphold the high standards of academic integrity established by the University of Phoenix. Consequently, the majority of research conducted by students must be peer-reviewed academic journals, such as those in the University Library, or the additional readings for each course. Internet searches often lead to nonacademic information resources, such as Wikipedia.org, Ask.com, Encarta.com, Infoplease.com, and blogs. These sources are not to be used as they are not academic in nature. The student is responsible for the accuracy of any facts presented in assignments. It is important to carefully analyze all sources used in academic works to ensure the information is accurate and appropriate for the assignment.” Wikipedia, dictionaries, and encyclopedias are not acceptable literature references…Leonald (Dr. Leonald D. Robinson)

Aliens from another planet want to visit the Earth in order to trade for some of our unique cultural products. Their homeworld prizes beer and and sorghum-based alcohol, so the aliens arrange for one space shuttle to visit San Marcos, California and another space shuttle to visit Maotai, China. The team of aliens on board each of the spaceships has spent years in space mastering the local language and cultural traditions for their respective destinations.
The aliens are planning to land in San Marcos and Maotai tomorrow. Unfortunately, their space shuttles unexpectedly crash into a Tesla Roadster outside of Earth’s orbit, which their advanced telescopes had not previously detected as a risk. As a result, the two shuttles are forced to swap their landing approaches, with the China- trained team sent to San Marcos, California and the U.S.-trained team sent to Maotai, China.
In a state of panic, the aliens trade a few of their harvested bitcoins and use the proceeds to hire YOU as a cross-cultural consultant. After getting over your initial surprise and some tough negotiating, you agree to provide advice to ONE of the two teams (your choice) on what they should know and how they should best communicate with the earthlings at their landing site. [In other words: Pick China or the U.S. – don’t answer for both!
