NURS 4001 Assignment 3: Qualitative and Quantitative Article
Description
A Review of a Qualitative and Quantitative Article
NURS 4000/4001, Section 14, and Scholarship and Evidence-Based Practice
A Review of a Qualitative and Quantitative Article
Adams (2012) of the Schmidt and Brown (2012) text book stated “there are an infinite number of nursing problems that merit investigation” (p 67) and that “nursing, like all healthcare professions, is constantly seeking ways to improve clinical outcomes and promote health across the lifespan” (p 68). There are two types of studies that are commonly used in research, qualitative and quantitative. The purpose of this paper is to determine if quantitative data supports that including patient hand hygiene decreases clostridium difficile (C. difficile) infections and if qualitative data supports a successful delivery of family-centered care (FCC) by adult-trained perioperative nurses.

NURS 4000 and NURS 4001 Research & Scholarship for Evidence-Based Practice Week 4: Write Your Rough Draft
You have a big project due in Week 5. Remember to get started on the assignment early so that you are not researching, reading, and writing all at the last minute.
Here are some tips for approaching this project:
Download the NURS 4000 Week 5 Application Rubric and use it as a guide.
Allow for a very rough draft.
If you find that you are not meeting the 6-7-page requirement, read through your current draft, noting
topics that you can split into subtopics
paragraphs that are underdeveloped (fewer than 3 sentences)
any evidence that you have not adequately explained
opportunities for additional library research
Include information from at least seven sources and give the authors credit.
Build in time for review and revision.
