Discuss what c-diff is and how it is transmitted (how you can get it)? What actions will you take as a nurse to protect yourself and the other patients on the unit when taking care of your patient?
You should be able to explain and interpret the results of the descriptive analysis (from the data extraction sheet). You should deliver the answers to the following:
a. What is the natural history of ARG1-D disease?
b. What impact does ARG1-D have on the quality-of-life of patients and their caregivers?
c. What evidence is there to support the efficacy of available treatments for ARG1-D?
d. What are the limitations of existing interventions (i.e., what is the unmet need)?
In addition, you should refer the results to the tables and figure you created.

Compare the similarities and differences between this results and the results from other published articles.

Historically, men have dominated scientific research in that the both the researchers and participants have largely been male. Accordingly, the way research has been designed, the way studies have been conducted, and the ways in which results have been interpreted have been at risk for gender bias. In other words, the preconceived ideas and beliefs or unfounded prejudice about the traits and characteristics of each gender potentially influence the outcomes of research studies. Even today, as women have entered into the academic and scientific world in significant numbers, research is subject to gender bias. The implications of gender bias can be far reaching. As the scientific community uses research study results for subsequent research and the media picks up the results to report findings to the public, gender bias can have a huge impact. Society may be making decisions that are based on incorrect, misleading, or biased data. As an example, a majority of early heart disease research was conducted primarily using male subjects leading to the assumption that heart disease was a man’s disease and did not significantly impact women. The gender bias in heart disease research resulted in little attention being paid to women who had heart disease symptoms, as well as delays and limitations in the treatment for these symptoms for many years. In reality, it is now common knowledge that heart disease is the leading cause of death for women, as it is for men.
think about how gender bias can impact scientific research and how the findings of biased research can impact individuals and society.
Gender: Psychological Perspectives, focusing on why researchers study gender, why researchers include gender as a factor in psychological studies, and how researchers can be biased in their research with regard to gender.
· Think about the following questions:
o What impact does gender bias in research have on interpretation of the results of research studies?
o How does gender bias in research potentially perpetuate the view of what men and women are and should be?
o What impact could the biased research have on individuals of each gender and on society as a whole?
o How does the media then use research findings to inform, persuade, sell, and so forth?
With these thoughts in mind:
Post an analysis of the role of gender bias both in the study of psychology and in the reporting of results by others, including the implications.
What are some of the multicultural interpretations that are used in formal education? How is it possible to bridge the achievement gap between students of different racial, cultural and socioeconomic backgrounds? What are some of the justifications for encouraging community inclusion in the education process? How does technology allow students to gain better skills and prepare for a transition to the real world? Currently, there is a disproportionately low number of minority women in educational leadership roles. Would changing the curriculum to account for multiple cultures and races encourage more minority women to take over influential educational roles? Is an interdisciplinary approach to education an effective way to improve educational attainment for middle school and high school students? How can teachers encourage the spark of excitement and zeal in students that causes them to enjoy learning? How can teachers encourage student-centered learning that causes students, rather than the teacher, to be the true leader of the classroom?
