The grades.jasp file is a sample data set. The data represent a teacher’s recording of student demographics and performance on quizzes and a final exam across three sections of the course. This data file is used in all four papers (Week 2, Week 4, Week 6, and Week 8).
This week’s assignment is on correlations. You will analyze the following variables in the grades.jasp data set:
Variable Definition
Quiz1 Quiz 1: number of correct answers
GPA Previous grade point average
Total Total number of points earned in class
Final Final exam: number of correct answers
Step 1: Write Section 1 of the DAA: The Data Analysis Plan
Name the four variables used in this analysis and whether they are categorical or continuous.
State a research question, null hypothesis, and alternate hypothesis for total and final.
State a research question, null hypothesis, and alternate hypothesis for gpa and quiz1.
Step 2: Write Section 2 of the DAA: Testing Assumptions
Test for one of the assumptions of correlation – normality.
Create a descriptive statistics table in statistical software to assess normality. This table should include the four variables named above, including skew and kurtosis for each variable.
Paste the table in the DAA Template.
Interpret the skewness and kurtosis values and determine whether the assumption of normality was violated or not violated.
Step 3: Write Section 3 of the DAA: Results and Interpretation
Using the statistical software, paste the intercorrelation matrix for the four variables into the document.
Below the output, first report the total-final correlation including degrees of freedom, correlation coefficient, and p value. Specify whether or not to reject the null hypothesis for this correlation.
Second, report the gpa-quiz1 correlation including degrees of freedom, correlation coefficient, and p value. Specify whether or not to reject the null hypothesis for this correlation.
Step 4: Write Section 4 of the DAA: Statistical Conclusions
Provide a brief summary of your analysis and the conclusions drawn about correlations.
Analyze the limitations of the statistical test and/or possible alternative explanations for your results.
Step 5: Write Section 5 of the DAA: Application
Analyze how you might use correlations in your field of study.
Name two variables that would work for such an analysis and why studying the relationship may be important to the field or practice.
Submit your DAA template as an attached Word document in the assignment area.

Scenario
Sarah is a 32-year-old woman who has been receiving treatment for severe depression and anxiety for the past five years. She has sought care from multiple healthcare providers, including a primary care physician, a psychiatrist, and a therapist, all of whom have contributed to her electronic health record (EHR). Sarah has made significant progress in her treatment, but her mental health history is sensitive and deeply personal.
One day, Sarah experiences a medical emergency and is rushed to the emergency room at a local hospital that participates in the HIE. The emergency room staff access her electronic health record through the HIE to gather critical medical information. While treating her physical condition, they discover her detailed mental health history, including past suicide attempts, hospitalizations, and notes about her ongoing therapy. 
Long-Term Consequences: Consider the potential long-term consequences of sharing or not sharing mental health records. How might this decision impact Sarah’s trust in the healthcare system, her willingness to seek future care, and the overall effectiveness of the HIE?
Competency 1: Explain how ethical theories and principles influence health care organizational management practice.
Discuss ethical obligations, specifically: autonomy, beneficence, nonmaleficence, and justice.
Discuss the potential long-term consequences of sharing or not sharing mental health records.
Competency 2: Describe how external forces and internal organizational factors influence ethical health care management practices.
Discuss if the emergency room staff should access and use Sarah’s mental health records to inform her current treatment, considering the potential benefit to her care.
Discuss if the healthcare team should attempt to contact Sarah’s mental health providers or seek consent from Sarah herself before using her mental health records in her treatment.
Competency 4: Communicate ideas effectively.
Convey purpose, in an appropriate tone and style, incorporating supporting evidence and adhering to organizational, professional, and scholarly writing standards.

Case study evaluating Kimberley V. Langley, MSN, RN, CEN:
During my time shadowing Kimberly V. Langley, MSN, RN CEN, fondly referred to as “Kim,” at the Atrium Health Cabarrus Emergency Department, I had the privilege of immersing myself in a comprehensive experience. Spending a full day with Kim provided me with invaluable insights into her 23 years of nursing expertise and her current role as the nursing manager. From her humble beginnings as a nurse to her ascent to a leadership position, Kim shared her journey with me, illustrating her progression and the responsibilities that come with leading a dynamic team.
As we navigated through the bustling Emergency Department, Kim graciously explained her duties, which extended beyond nursing to encompass team leadership and operational management. She emphasized the importance of staying abreast of various metrics, including patient satisfaction scores and wait times, to ensure the delivery of quality care. Additionally, Kim highlighted her advocacy efforts on behalf of patients, advocating for their needs and ensuring they receive optimal care.
During the course of the day, I had the opportunity to tour the entirety of the Emergency Department, gaining a comprehensive understanding of the various facets that contribute to the patient experience. From triage to treatment rooms, I observed firsthand the intricacies involved in providing efficient and compassionate care to patients in need.
One of the highlights of my experience was participating in a team huddle alongside Kim and her colleagues. Witnessing the collaborative dynamics within the team was illuminating, as each member contributed their expertise and insights to optimize patient care delivery. It was evident that Kim fostered an environment of mutual respect and support, where every team member’s voice was valued.
Moreover, I had the privilege of observing Kim in action during a medical emergency involving a 5-year-old boy with respiratory failure. Despite the high-pressure situation, Kim and her team remained composed and focused, employing their expertise to stabilize the patient. Witnessing Kim’s leadership during this critical moment was truly inspiring, as she provided guidance and support to her team while ensuring the patient received the urgent care he needed.
In summary, my experience shadowing Kim at the Atrium Health Cabarrus Emergency Department was enlightening and enriching. Through her leadership, expertise, and unwavering dedication to patient care, Kim exemplifies the qualities of a compassionate and effective healthcare leader.
