Explore several news sites to see how the story is framed.  Please review at least one liberal news source, one center news source, and a conservative news source.  You can use the chart in your lecture, or go to this Media BiasLinks to an external site. site. Compare and contrast how the story was framed between the three sources.  What part of the story did they focus on? Was there any messaging involved? The point of the is assignment is not to pontificate about your beliefs, but rather to be a dispassionate analyst about how the story is framed differently depending on who is framing it, and what messaging the writers/editors are trying to communicate..

Assignment Title: Research Critique

Step 4 for your Evidence-Based Practice Mini-Project (Research Proposal)

Assignment Overview:

Since your EBP Research Proposal does not include completing the entire research process, e.g., collecting data, statistics, or findings, you will do a critique of a Level of Evidence I-IV research article there is a rubric related to this critique that you will follow.

Deliverables:

The final copy of your Research Critique assignment is due on or before Sunday at 11:59pm, just before Week 5 begins, at the latest. Be sure to use the file naming protocol: NUR640_EBP Step4_last name_mmddyyyy.

Assignment Details:

For this assignment, you will write a research critique of a research article. It does not have to be an article similar to what you would do in a Research Proposal. It can be a research article that you find scholarly and would like to delve into more deeply. The critique does need to be a LeveI I-Level IV level of evidence. Use the discernment gained from your Week 4 Discussion regarding whether your article is credible, and use that to answer a section in your research critique.

Include the Following Sections that are noted on your research critique, and use your textbook if you are unsure of what each of these headings mean.

1. Purpose

2. Conceptual Framework

3. Design/Method

4. Sampling/Setting

5. Major variables studied and their definition

6. Data Analysis

7. Study Findings

8. Overall strengths and weaknesses of the study, e.g. reliability and validity, ethics (IRB), topic, etc.

Grading: Each part (category) listed above for your research article critique has a rubric that is to be followed. All submissions should have a title page and reference page.

 Discuss the term “clinical death,” especially with respect to when not to initiate CPR. Discuss what is meant by a “peaceful death” and a “good death,” including goals for End-Of-Life care. How would you feel if you knew your patients did not want CPR but the family insisted on it? 

To Prepare:

· Review the concepts of technology application as presented in the Resources.

· Reflect on how emerging technologies such as artificial intelligence may help fortify nursing informatics as a specialty by leading to increased impact on patient outcomes or patient care efficiencies.

The Assignment: (4-5 pages not including the title and reference page)

In a 4- to 5-page project proposal written to the leadership of your healthcare organization, propose a nursing informatics project for your organization that you advocate to improve patient outcomes or patient-care efficiency. Your project proposal should include the following:

· Describe the project you propose.

· Identify the stakeholders impacted by this project.

· Explain the patient outcome(s) or patient-care efficiencies this project is aimed at improving and explain how this improvement would occur. Be specific and provide examples.

· Identify the technologies required to implement this project and explain why.

· Identify the project team (by roles) and explain how you would incorporate the nurse informaticist in the project team.

· Use APA format and include a title page and reference page.

· Use the Safe Assign Drafts to check your match percentage before submitting your work.
