Aiken LH, Clarke SP, Cheung RB, Sloane DM, Silber JH. Educational levels of hospital nurses and surgical patient mortality. JAMA. 2003;290(12):1617–1623. [PMC free article] [PubMed]
Summary
Better hospital nurse staffing, more educated nurses, and improved nurse work environments have been shown to be associated with lower hospital mortality. Little is known about whether and under what conditions each type of investment works better to improve outcomes.
Strength: This article discusses improved staffing equals lower patient mortality.
Weakness: No information regarding the ways or cost to improve nursing environments or staffing.

Summary
Evaluating the impact of California Assembly Bill 394, which mandated maximum levels of patients per nurse in the hospital setting. When the law was passed, some hospitals already met the requirements, while others did not. Thus changes in staffing ratios from the pre- to post-mandate periods are driven in part by the legislation. To find persuasive evidence that AB394 had the intended effect of decreasing patient/nurse ratios in hospitals that previously did not meet mandated standards. However, these improvements in staffing ratios do not appear to be associated with relative improvements in measured patient safety in affected hospitals.
Strength: Discusses the safe staffing ratios the California bill enacted.
Weakness: Study did not show real improvements in patient safety.

BMC Health Services Research, 15538-545. doi:10.1186/s12913-015-1198-0
Summary
The level of patient safety and outcomes accomplished depends on the quality of care provided. Previous studies found that nurse-to-patient ratio, practice environment, and nursing education were significant predictors of patient outcomes. However, the outcomes measured in previous studies were mainly inpatient mortality and failure-to-rescue rates. Few nurse-sensitive patient outcomes have been measured that quantify nurses’ contribution to patient care. Selecting appropriate outcomes that reflect the clinically relevant effect of nursing care is important.
Strength: Discusses multiple areas that affect patient outcomes including nurse/patient ratios.
Weakness: Does not go in depth regarding nurse sensitive patient outcomes.
ARTICLE 4
Sung-Heui, B. (2016). CNE SERIES. The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services Reimbursement Policy and Nursing-Sensitive Adverse Patient Outcomes. Nursing Economic$, 34
Summary
The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) implemented a new policy for Medicare in 2008 to reduce preventable adverse outcomes in hospitals. The new CMS reimbursement policy incentivizes the prevention of avoidable adverse patient outcomes by eliminating reimbursement for treatment of those outcomes in hospitals (Department of Health and Human Services, 2009). Intended consequences of the new CMS policy include appropriate changes in care processes to foster better quality of care so that hospitals can prevent adverse outcomes.
Strength: Studies and stats show different adverse outcomes of hospitalized patients.
Weakness: Does not go in depth about nurse/patient ratios related to preventable adverse patient outcomes.

International Journal Of Nursing Studies, 50(2), 154-161. doi:10.1016/j.ijnurstu.2012.05.003
Summary
This study provides a comprehensive evaluation of nurse resources in Chinese hospitals and the link between nurse resources and nurse and patient outcomes. Survey data were used from 9688 nurses and 5786 patients in 181 Chinese hospitals to estimate associations between nurse workforce characteristics and nurse and patient outcomes in China. Nurse and patient assessments in China were compared with a similar study in Europe.
Strength: This study shows the nursing shortage/burnout and nurse/patient ratios affect nursing worldwide.
Weakness: Does not discuss how mandating safe nurse/patient ratios will help patient outcomes.

Summary
To investigate whether the size of the workforce (nurses, doctors and support staff) has an impact on the survival chances of critically ill patients both in the intensive care unit (ICU) and in the hospital. Investigations of intensive care outcomes suggest that some of the variation in patient survival rates might be related to staffing levels and workload, but the evidence is still equivocal.
Strength: This study shows that the unsafe nurse/patient ratios spread across all departments and specialties of nursing.
Weakness: Shows some evidence that leans toward patient outcomes and nursing ratios but no concrete evidence.

Discussion questions:
1. What are your beliefs about the major concepts in nursing- person, environment, health, nursing?
2. Do you believe there is more than one right answer to situations? How do you value the whole individual? What barriers prevent us from responding to the contextual needs of our patients?
Each question must have at least 3 paragraphs and you must use at 3 least references .
Please read this very specific set of requirements:
You will be writing 3 pages, double-spaced about the topic below:
((((((((( Undocumented Worker” (1980) by Michael Schnorr ))))))))))
Here is what the professor wants in this discussion:
In terms of the content of your discussion, I am looking for three main points of discussion. First, you will draft a thesis statement based on your observation of this mural. A thesis statement is something you would prove in a paper; a statement that can be supported by the mural you have reviewed. Your thesis statement should be about 3-5 sentences. In your thesis statement, address the following question: What was the artist’s objective in creating his/her mural and what does the mural reflect about the era in which this mural was created?
For the second point of discussion, name and describe one cause or consequence of an event associated with this mural. In other words, what were some of the historical or political events of the era that contributed to the development of the mural, or what do you think was the political or cultural impact of the mural in Chicano Park, San Diego, the state of California, or for the overall Chicano Movement? About one good-sized paragraph, up to â…” of a page, double-spaced, will be sufficient for your response.
And finally, for your third point of discussion, describe one historical individual involved in the event depicted in the mural and explain his or her significance in this event. In other words, why was this person significant? And by a historical individual, you may discuss the artist instead of any historical personalities presented in his or her mural. However, if there is a clear historical personality presented in the mural, I strongly encourage you to discuss that personality in your response. Even if the historical personality is a mythical figure, such as a god or goddess, you can discuss that too. About one good-sized paragraph, up to â…” of a page, double-spaced, will be sufficient for your response.
I will provide you with the professor’s example of how he wants it. PLEASE FOLLOW THE EXAMPLE:
The example is attached below:
My topic is about how cell phone towers are not evenly spread out around the United States. For the interview I will be doing it with my uncle. Here is my annotated bibliography.
Bell, Terena. “How Cellular Dead Zones Hurt Rural Towns.†The American Conservative, The American Conservative, 17 Mar. 2017, www.theamericanconservative.com/urbs/how-cellular-dead-zones-hurt-rural-towns/
This article is about how there are dead zones in rural towns and how they are very bad. The dead zones are essentially areas where there is no service at all. This relates to topic since dead zones are a serious issue that needs to be resolved.
BLOOM, ROBERT M., and WILLIAM T. CLARK. “Small Cells, Big Problems: The Increasing Precision of Cell Site Location Information and the Need for Fourth Amendment Protections.†Journal of Criminal Law & Criminology, vol. 106, no. 2, Spring 2016, pp. 167–202. EBSCOhost, search.ebscohost.com/login.aspx?direct=true&db=a9h&AN=121816519&site=ehost-live&scope=site
This article is about a technology in which cell phone providers can provide additional coverage. This technology actually uses peoples exiting smartphones to give off a slightly boost the coverage. This relates to my topic since this may be possible solution to the problem with rural areas. While this is a very subtle improvement it is indeed an improvement.
Buys, Piet, et al. “Determinants of a Digital Divide in Sub-Saharan Africa: A Spatial Econometric Analysis of Cell Phone Coverage.†World Development, vol. 37, no. 9, Sept. 2009, pp. 1494–1505. EBSCOhost, doi:10.1016/j.worlddev.2009.01.011.
This article is about how cell phone coverage in Africa literally divides the continent. What I mean by this is that areas with cell service are more populated and overall a much better place to live in. This relates to my topic since the people living in areas with good coverage look down upon people living in rural areas as there is no service.
Couper, Mick P., et al. “New Options for National Population Surveys: The Implications of Internet and Smartphone Coverage.†Social Science Research, vol. 73, July 2018, pp. 221–235. EBSCOhost, doi:10.1016/j.ssresearch.2018.03.008.
This article is about how cell phone coverage affects people and how we need options. This relates to my topic since in rural areas there usually is only one option on what phone provider you want and that needs to be addressed.
Dunne, Matt. “Rural America’s Future Is Riding on a Cell Signal | Backchannel.†Wired, Conde Nast, 28 June 2017, www.wired.com/story/rural-americas-future-is-riding-on-a-cell-signal/
This article is about how life is in a rural area with almost no cell service at all. This relates to my topic since this talks about all the struggles of living in the modern era with little to no cell service.
Option 1 (500-600 words): Whose Table do you Join?
I want you to consider the following scenario: Karl Marx, Emile Durkheim, Max Weber, and Georg Simmel walk into a cafeteria. They each sit at separate tables.
Whose table do you join? Why?
That is what I want you to write about this week. Which theorist’s table do you join, and why?

Option 2 (500-600 words): What is missing from view?
Karl Marx, Emile Durkheim, Max Weber, and Georg Simmel are four theorists who are almost always taught in Introductory Sociology classes. But these four theorists do not represent the sum total of possible thought about Social life and its operations. When thinking about the theoretical ideas these four theorists advanced, what topics seem to be missing? What Sociological perspectives seem to be missing from their theories? What are their blindspots?
