please provide detailed information on each heading. 

please follow the rubric, i only need matrix table done with 5 resources by sunday the next stuff stated by  the rubric will be turned in later time. I can hire you for the secound part of the paper as well. 
questions of the matrix and research paper is based on this question 
On a medical-surgical floor, how does low nurse-to-patient ratios compared with high nurse-to-patient ratios affect the incidence of mortality rates, complication rates, length of hospital stay, and hospital-acquired infections?

Step I: Create Your Mind Map
Create a Mind Map, with the central topic of “My Professional Nursing Philosophy”.
The Mind Map can be created with software or on an 8 1/2 by 11 paper sheet.
Be as creative as you wish.
Include your Mind Map when you submit your assignment.
Step II: Select a Nursing Theory
Select a nursing theory which embodies some of the same concepts found in your Professional Nursing Philosophy or one which resonates with you.
The theory that you select will be a part of your answers in Step III — it’s advised that you read over those questions before reviewing the nursing theories and choosing one!
You may use theories from the required readings or from a nursing journal.
It is highly recommended that you review readings focusing on the theories you are most interested in
Using ChatGPT or other AI software to dive deep into these nursing theories and learn more about them on a personal level is highly encouraged.
Here is an example of a conversationyou could have with ChatGPT to learn more. This is a great tool to be reminded about theories you haven’t learned a lot about recently.
Here is a link to APA reference pertaining to ChatGPT: How to cite ChatGPT (apa.org)
You need to paraphrase (put in your own words) anything from Chat GPT and cite/reference. 
MSN Program stance video on Chat GPT responsible use:  https://screenpal.com/watch/c0jr2gVp3Kv
Here is a beginner tutorial on how to use Chat GPT that provides a basic tutorial https://youtu.be/Gaf_jCnA6mc
Step III: Analyze your Personal Philosophy
You are expected to internalize your own Professional Nursing Philosophy and take it with you wherever you go. Your responses in this video and in the accompanying Mind Map are expected to be dynamic and “from the heart”.  
Part 1: Create a video form using Kaltura.
Record a video using Kaltura or upload a previously recorded video to Kaltura. 
Your video must be between 3 minutes to 5 minutes. Points are deducted for being over time (see rubric). 
Answer the questions:
What are the central concepts identified in your Professional Nursing Philosophy?
Do the central concepts of your Professional Nursing Philosophy align with the metaparadigm of nursing theories? Explain differences and similarities.
Discuss how your selected nursing theory aligns with your Professional Nursing Philosophy and how the two relate to nursing practice. What resonates with you personally and why? The theory does not have to be an exact match to your Professional Nursing Philosophy.
Indicate how you can utilize your Professional Nursing Philosophy as a framework for your nursing career.  Provide practical and realistic ways to apply your Philosophy to practice.
Use your Mind Map as a reference describe your Professional Nursing Philosophy. There must be a correlation between the 2 parts: Mind Map and video. 
A portion of your grade is determined by how well you can fluently discuss your own Professional Nursing Philosophy. Do not read directly from a script! You need to internalize your philosophy so it can appropriately influence your actions in the healthcare field. Your Professional Nursing Philosophy is ultimately going to become a description of who you are as a healthcare professional — so you need to be able to clearly articulate it to those around you!

Develop a 2-4 page scholarly paper in which you describe the diagnosis you researched for the previous assessment, and then identify and analyze credible evidence that could be used as the basis for applying EBP to the issue.
INTRODUCTION
The goal of using evidence-based research findings is to enhance safety and quality of patient care and ensure optimal outcomes are achieved. It is not uncommon to hear a nurse say, “why change it as we’ve always done it this way.” However, this is no longer acceptable in today’s practice environment. The profession of nursing has evolved, and the expectation is that the professional nurse has a scientific foundation to support the care that is provided. As the profession of nursing continues to evolve and engage in health care transformation, baccalaureate-prepared nurses are expanding taking on leadership roles that include incorporating EBPs. To be able to do this, the nurse needs to understand the criteria and makes a resource credible, as this is crucial when deciding if the research is valid and reliable for implementation into health care settings. The nurse will need to incorporate the use of evidence-based practice models. EBP models are designed to assist the nurse in developing a plan to gather evidence to answer a practice problem or question. It is a systematic approach to direct the user to incorporate scholarly findings into current practice. These EBP models lead the nurse through the decision-making process of evaluating the literature to determine the best practice evidence for the practice issue or question.
It would be an excellent choice to complete the Vila Health Determining the Credibility of Evidence activity prior to developing the report. The activity is a media simulation that offers an opportunity to review a scenario and work on determining the credibility of presented evidence. These skills will be necessary to complete Assessment 2 successfully. This media simulation is one potential source of context on which to base your assessment submission. This will take just a few minutes of your time and is not graded.
PROFESSIONAL CONTEXT
As a baccalaureate-prepared nurse, you will be responsible for locating and identifying credible and scholarly resources to incorporate the best available evidence for the purposes of enhancing clinical reasoning and judgement skills. When reliable and relevant evidence-based findings are utilized, patients, health care systems, and nursing practice outcomes are positively impacted.
SCENARIO
For this assessment, use the specific diagnosis/health issue you selected for the first assessment.
INSTRUCTIONS
The purpose of this analysis is to better understand what constitutes credibility of journal articles as well as websites. The role of the baccalaureate-prepared nurse in incorporating evidence-based research continues to growth in clinical practice. As quality improvement (QI) measures to reduce safety risks continue to be emphasized, the need for evidence-based models and evidence-based templates is growing. This type of systematic approach to incorporating evidence-based findings allows nurses to make clinical and operational decisions based upon the best available evidence. When the most up-to-date evidence-based findings are utilized, patient-centered care improves outcomes and enhances the patient experience.
Below is a quick review table of several well-known Evidence-Based Practice Models used to guide exploration:
Evidence-Based Practice Models
Iowa Model of Evidence-Based Practice
Stetler Model
Ottawa Model
PARiHS (Promoting Action on Research Implementation in Health Services) Model
ACE (Academic Center for Evidence-Based Practice) Star Model
ARCC (Advancing Research and Clinical Practice Through Close Collaboration) Mode
John Hopkins Model
KTA (Knowledge-to-Action) Model
For this assessment:
Explain the criteria that should be used when determining the credibility of journal articles as well as websites.
Support your explanations with references to the literature or research articles that describe criteria that should be used to determine credibility.
Your identification and determination of credibility should be done within the context of your chosen diagnosis for this assessment. Your initial identification of resources should be of resources that will best help address the presented diagnosis you selected. Since you are locating resources to help provide evidence-based care for the diagnosis/health care issue you identified in the first assessment, you may want to begin your literature and evidence search from the databases that were identified.
Be sure to address the following in this assessment, which correspond to the grading criteria in the scoring guide. Please study the scoring guide carefully so that you will know what is needed for a distinguished score.
Describe a chosen diagnosis that could benefit from an evidence-based approach.
Explain criteria that should be considered when determining credibility of resources such as journal articles and websites.
Analyze the credibility and relevance of evidence and resources within the context of a chosen diagnosis.
This is where you are selecting the specific resources to help address the diagnosis you selected for the first assessment.
