Two discussions posted-please review.
Discussion 1 Data Management Reflect on your experience with different aspects of data management — for example, identifying the target population and relevant measures, access to data sources, strategies for data collection, coordination of data entry, analysis of outcomes, and data analysis to final deliverable to stakeholders. Discuss those areas in which you feel skilled versus those areas that will require more skill development. List at least three activities in which you might engage in your current practice setting that would increase your competencies in the area of data management and outcomes evaluation.

Did you question the usefulness of spending a term learning about theory? Next, consider your current practice environment now that you know more about theory. Is theory used in practice, or is there a theory practice gap that needs to be addressed? If you think theory is known and used in practice, support your view with evidence. If you think a theory – practice gap exists, support your view with evidence. Textbook Readings McEwen, M., & Wills, W. (2018). Theoretical basis for nursing (5th edition).
