writing a Python program to read in the temperatures, as user input, for ten consecutive days in Celsius and store them into an array.

/in /by

 The sixth assignment involves writing a Python program to read in the temperatures, as user input, for ten consecutive days in Celsius and store them into an array. The entire array should then be displayed. Next each temperature in the array should be converted to Fahrenheit and the entire array should be again be displayed. The formula for converting Celsius to Fahrenheit is °F = (°C × 1.8) + 32. Finally, the number of cool, warm and hot days should be counted and the number of each type of days should be displayed. You should decide on the thresholds for determining whether a day is cool, warm or hot..

Your program should include the pseudocode used for your design in the comments. Document the values you chose for the thresholds in your comments as well.

You are to submit your Python program as a text file (.py) file. In addition, you are also to submit a test plan in a Word document or a .pdf file. 15% of your grade will be based on whether the comments in your program include the pseudocode and define the values of your constants, 70% on whether your program executes correctly on all test cases and 15% on the completeness of your test report.

What were your initial thoughts on reading the AACN Information Systems/Technology Essentials for the DNP graduate?
As a future DNP-prepared nurse, I believe it’s essential for a more profound understanding of technology as technological advancements have drastically transformed the structure and organization of the healthcare sector. Today, nursing is not the same as it was 30 years ago. Technology is imperative for safe, competent, patient-centered care. Advances in technology assist healthcare personnel in performing their jobs and care for patients more efficiently and safely (Pepito & Locsin, 2018).

Did you find any of the essentials surprising? Why or Why not?
I did not find any of the essentials surprising because DNP-prepared nurses are prepared to keep up with the most up-to-date medical knowledge and stay current on evolving best practices. A DNP-prepared nurse holds a terminal nursing degree, the highest level of education available in the field; therefore, the nurse must remain competent in all aspects of patient care.

Describe the changes you have seen in your practice setting over the past five years that have been brought about by the use of technology and evidence-based practice.
My practice setting has implemented Telehealth services and remote patient monitoring (RPM) for patients with chronic diseases to avoid unnecessary hospital visits. This allows providers to follow up with patients anytime, regardless of the care setting. In my current job, telemedicine was instituted due to the coronavirus disease (COVID-19) outbreak. This was an innovative way to fulfill patients’ healthcare needs and fill in the gaps in patient care (Liu et al., 2020). With telemedicine, patients with chronic conditions, such as obesity, diabetes, cardiovascular disease, and kidney disease, receive improved access to care by cutting down the barriers in transportation and mobility issues to immobile patients. Telemedicine has ultimately improved access and acceptability to patient care in populations with low socioeconomic.

RPM is the foremost of these advancements. RPM systems are established on collecting patient vital signs, then transmitting them in real-time to healthcare providers. RPM has improved the provider’s ability to monitor and manage patients in their homes by using digital technologies to collect health data and electronically transmit it to providers for assessment (El-Rashidy et al., 2021). In my practice setting, we monitor patients’ vital signs, and if we notice any abnormal change, the patient is contacted for further evaluation. Also, we have a monitoring center that monitors and tracks patients’ vital signs, and if any critical vital signs are flagged, a provider contacts the patient to provide further treatment.

Describe the changes you expect to see in your practice setting over the next five years based on technology.
In the next five years, I foresee the implementation of RPM to have decreased hospitalizations and hospital readmissions due to chronic diseases. According to El-Rashidy et al. (2021), the incidence of chronic disease has developed along with the aging population, and hospital capacity is lacking to accommodate all patients. Treatment noncompliance of these diseases ends in frequent hospital readmission, which increases the burdens of hospitals and healthcare staff. By providing providers the ability to monitor and manage a patient’s condition remotely, treatment can be given timely and effectively (Vegesna et al., 2017). Therefore, decreasing the health care burden, promoting better care coordination, and reducing the patient’s stress level.

How have these changes affected nursing practice in your setting?
These changes have positively affected my nursing practice by avoiding interruption in patient care and improve care between visits appointments with patients with multiple comorbidities. These systems are used for continuous monitoring, diagnosis, assessment, and treatment. Consequently, they reduce healthcare costs and improve patient outcomes by providing shorter frequent services to manage chronic diseases and prevent future complications. Telemedicine shows a tremendous promise to increase access to health care services, promote disease management, and promote in-between visit monitoring.

Explain potential factors that might influence whether or not a client decides to have an abortion. Include short- and long-term considerations that might impact this decision.

/in /by

A client facing the decision of whether or not to have an abortion is likely to consider a wide range of factors before making the final decision. This often is the case for clients regardless of whether they view themselves as generally for or against abortion (or somewhere in between), as the decision is different when considering how it applies to one’s own life.

The types of factors that can influence a client’s decisions include (but are not limited to) physical health considerations, educational background, cultural values, and predictions about short- and long-term consequences of abortion.

(2- to 3-pages):

  • Explain potential factors that might influence whether or not a client decides to have an abortion. Include short- and long-term considerations that might impact this decision.
  • Explain why certain factors might have a stronger impact on a client’s decision regarding abortion depending on the client’s background (e.g., age, gender, religion, socioeconomic status).

An Annotated Bibliography (Links to an external site.) https://writingcenter.uagc.edu/annotated-bibliography is a great way to organize your research and prepare you for completing the Final Paper Outline in Week 3 and your Final Paper in Week 5. The purpose of an annotated bibliography is to find, summarize, and critique scholarly and/or credible sources that you will use to complete your Final Paper. You will also use the information gained from the required readings this week to complete this assignment.

The Final Paper requires you to identify resources that will support your argument of whether treatment, punishment, or a combination of both treatment and punishment are most effective in reducing juvenile crime rates and recidivism. Like the Final Paper due in Week 5, this assignment will focus on analyzing some of the research in targeted areas of juvenile criminal behavior.

In your Annotated Bibliography, identify at least five scholarly and/or credible sources, which includes the source you are reviewing, two sources that support or contradict the initial article, and any other sources that support your analysis in the Week 5 paper, which calls for you to:

Explain the differences between treatment and punishment concepts.
Evaluate types of treatment and types of punishment options for violent and non-violent juvenile crimes.
Examine the research as to whether treatment, punishment, or a combination of both (treatment and punishment) is most effective for reducing recidivism in juvenile offenders.
Identify the prevailing perspective (treatment, punishment, or combination of both) in your jurisdiction and one other jurisdiction [Note: this may come from a government or other equally credible source].
Analyze the research on recidivism rates for each jurisdiction (yours and the other you chose) to determine which has lower recidivism rates.
For each of your critical analyses of your sources for the points listed above,

Summarize each source’s thesis and/or main points in one paragraph.
Evaluate the relevance of the data used to support the thesis of the source.
Briefly critique the accuracy, acceptability, strengths and weaknesses, and overall soundness of the article.
Explain, in one to two sentences, how each source supports your thesis and/or resolution.
Provide the formal APA reference entry for each source.
The annotated bibliography must be 750 to 1250 words in length, excluding title and reference pages, and formatted according to APA style. You must use at least five scholarly and/or credible sources, which includes the source you are reviewing, two sources that support or contradict the initial article, and any other sources that support your analysis.
