Assess the culture of the organization for potential challenges in incorporating the nursing practice intervention. Use this assessment when creating the strategic plan.

Write a 150-250 word strategic plan defining how the nursing practice intervention will be implemented in the capstone project change proposal.

APA style is not required, but solid academic writing is expected.

Perception Research

Eyewitness identification becomes less accurate when the witness is of a different race or ethnicity than the suspect. Create an annotated bibliography regarding research on this topic. You should locate ten (10) articles and complete 150-word descriptions that include the following: (a) author’s credentials; (b) intended audience of the article; and (c) reasons why the article is relevant/helpful.

It is possible to reproduce the chromosome responsible for insulin production.

An infant who is four days postpartum has been diagnosed with a single-gene disorder. The parents of the child have a number of questions about the etiology of the health problem, which the physician is attempting to address in detail. Which of the following teaching points most accurately captures an aspect of single-gene congenital disorders?

Affected genes are present on autosomal chromosomes rather than sex chromosomes.

The majority of single-gene disorders manifest near the time of puberty.

A particular defect can be caused by mutations at one of several different loci.

Single-gene disorders are associated with existing rather than new mutations.
