The World of an Informatics Nurse Paper Grading Rubric (NUR320)
Identify benefits for nurses who play a role in the selection process of an electronic medical
record. Observe and interview a registered nurse who holds a BSN degree or higher in their
practice environment to determine how this individual incorporates the use of informatics into
their practice.
This assignment should be based on your observations and written in APA format. Length 2 to 4
pages. Reference a minimum of 3 references supporting your observations. Finally, conclude
with a reflection of how to increase the awareness of nursing informatics to other clinical
professionals. You will use the reflection written in this assignment in your Challenge to
Innovation Presentation.

Ecology Research Assignment
Choose one of the assignments described below. Research the required information and write a short paper on the topic. The paper should be at least 4 pages in length including title page and reference page, no larger than size 12 font, no more than 1.5 spacing between lines. Please properly cite your source(s). No plagiarizing!

Topic Choices

*Invasive species

Choose an invasive species and research the following: What is the definition of invasive species? Name and describe your chosen species. What is its native country/area? What areas has it invaded? What is the result of this invasion (be specific)? Is there a plan to eradicate or control the species? Has the plan been successful?

*Keystone species

Choose a keystone species and research the following: What is the definition of keystone species? Name and describe your chosen species. Where does it live? Why is it considered a keystone species? What is its role in its community and what might happen if it was removed from this community?

*Rehabilitation/restoration of an ecosystem

Choose an ecosystem that has been disrupted by human activities and is now being (or has been) restored and research the following: Where is the ecosystem? What kind of ecosystem is it (desert, river, swamp, etc.)? What was it like before human disruption? What impact has the disruption had on the ecosystem (be specific)? What is being done to restore/rehabilitate the ecosystem? Has it been successful?

*Population control policies of Japan, Thailand, China, or India

Choose one of these countries and research the following: What are the population numbers in this country? What are the living conditions like? What is the population control policy, and how long has it been in effect? What results have they seen or do they hope to see? What attitudes do the citizens of the country have toward the policy?

reply to student 1:
Something that I found confusing was during lab two, there was a section where we had to calculate index of dispersion (Id). It was part 3, question 3. In the report procedure it said calculations may not be exact, but if Id = 1, then distribution pattern is random. If Id = n, then distribution pattern is clumped. If Id = 0, then distribution pattern is uniform. My excel calculation came out to be 1.21. Maybe I am used to working down to the exact decimal but at what point would Id not be able to identify with a distribution pattern?
reply to student 2:
I think the hardest concept that we have learned so far for me had to be Lab 3 Paradox of Enrichment. I didn’t think at first this lab would be that difficult so I just went with the flow and started the lab. I should of took more time to read everything before I let the simulation go. After reading my feedback from the teacher I realized I should of took more time and fully explained everything instead of just a couple sentences in each question. I went back to simulation and did it all oven again and took my time and everything made much more sense.

If you have two glasses, one full of water and one half full of water, and you add the same amount of salt to each of them, which will be saltier?

1. If you have two glasses, one full of water and one half full of water, and you add the same amount of salt to each of them, which will be saltier? Why? Which will be denser? Why?
2. If you have two glasses, one full of red hot water and one full of blue cold water, which one is denser? What would happen if you combined them? Why?
3. Which has a higher heat capacity, a kilogram of water or a kilogram of sand? If you heated both of them at the same temperature for the same amount of time, which would be warmer? If you take the heat source away, which will cool more quickly? Why?
