Assignment:
A pediatric nurse is a case manager on a neonatal cardiology floor. This facility is in a location where many Native Americans are served. The nurse wants to better understand how the Native American women attach with their babies when the children are born with congenital heart defects.
Note: For this case study, need to access the article Alhusen, J. L., Gross, D., Hayatt, M. J., Woods, A. B., & Sharps, P. W. (2012). The influence of maternal-fetal attachment and health practices on neonatal outcomes in low-income, urban women. Research in Nursing Health,35(2), 112-20. doi: 10.1002/nur.21464.
1. A nurse researcher who would administer the Maternal-Fetal Attachment Scale (MFAS) would be using what type of methodology?
2. The nurse researcher wants to collect data on outcomes of the Native American neonates to assess for any correlation between MFAS scores and outcomes. A chart review was initiated. How can the nurse researcher ensure that chart reviews are done correctly?
3. The nurse researcher reviewed an article in which the MFAS was used on African American mothers. There is concern that the findings or tool may not be appropriate for Native American mothers. What is the nature of this concern?
The third-semester nursing students are in the skills lab. Today they will be assessed for competency related to managing parenteral medication. Because of the number of students, three faculty members will perform the assessments (also known as check-offs). Students are randomly assigned a faculty member and number in line. They must wait their turn for their faculty member to perform the assigned skills.
1. A few students heard that one faculty member was "easier" than the other two. Discuss this from a validity and reliability perspective.
2. Propose a strategy to help ensure that grading during the assessment is valid.
3. Propose a strategy to help ensure that grading during the assessment is valid.
