NR542 Week 3 Discussion and Assignment

This week, the discussion topic has two parts. The responses are included in a single post.

First, if your work setting uses a nursing nomenclature recognized by the American Nurses Association (ANA), describe how the terms in that nomenclature fit, or do not fit, the data concepts discussed in the lesson. Do these terms clearly and comprehensively represent nursing care and nursing practice at your work setting? Why or why not? If your work setting does not use a formal nursing nomenclature, apply these questions to the terms that are used.

Second, consider your database project. Could an ANA-recognized nomenclature be used in your database? Why or why not?

This paper is intended to produce a plan for developing the database that must be submitted in Week 7 of this course. Students will gain experience in addressing key elements of a database plan.

(CO#5) Utilize contemporary communication modalities to explain the sources, requirements, attributes, and implications of data representations found in healthcare. (PO 3)

This 2-to-4 page paper presents a database plan for a nursing or healthcare problem dealt with in the past or active in the present. Explain the problem and the reason(s) a database is needed. Provide a conceptual data model for the planned database. Name all the entities planned for the database and justify their selection. In an appendix, provide an E-R diagram that shows each entity, names the identifier for each entity, and illustrates the relationships between each entity, noting the cardinality. In the paper, write a narrative explanation of key parts of the E-R diagram, including how you arrived at some of the decisions on relationships and cardinality. Include three questions planned for this database (the original questions from the discussion in week 1 may be used). Provide a recap of the paper and discuss insights on databases developed as a result of working on this assignment. Support all decisions from the scholarly literature.
