Validating and Confirming Theory

All sources provided

C. Using your article(s) as an example, explain how the researchers validated the middle-range theory of caring in their research by giving operational definition to each concept and their relationship(s).

A concept becomes a measurable variable after being operationally defined in a research study.
Using your article(s) as an example; explain how the researchers validated the MRT in their research by giving operational definition to each concept and their relationship(s).

For example, the researchers used Kolcaba’s Comfort Theory in postpartum women; the comfort need to be enhanced (concept A) is mammary swelling by intervention variables (concept B)including using hot pack and massage. However, if the same theory is used in soldiers who needs amputation, their comfort need, intervention, health care needs, or health-seeking behaviors will be very different from postpartum women. I want to see how the researchers defined each concept and inter-relationships of the Comfort Theory in their study of certain phenomenon among a population. Thus, how the study results have shown you about the Comfort Theory (including concepts and their inter-relationships)? The Comfort Theory has been supported by all concepts (called variables with operational definition in the research study) and their inter-relationships in the research study or not.

First Assignment

Country Risk Analysis

Please read the following instruction and complete the first assignment. Your writing should
follow the APA formatting style (i.e., title page, inserted citations, citation list, and tables/figures
if applied). The minimum length of each submission is three pages for the main content (double
spaced and 12 ft). Please submit your completed assignment through the “Assignments” tab on
Canvas. The deadline is March 3 (11:59 pm).

Managerial Challenge

Before venturing into any country, managers determine the likelihood and nature of country risk
and its probable effect on the operations and performance of the firm. Finding out about country
risks is a task performed in multinational enterprises and other firms with substantial
international operations. This exercise is designed to help you develop the market research skills
that you need to understand country risk.

Background

Country risk reflects potentially adverse effects on company operations and performance caused
by changes in countries’ political and legal environments. It may appear as harmful government
intervention in foreign firms’ trade and investment activities. Governments may impose legal
and regulatory burdens that increase business costs, delays, or lost opportunities. Governments
may restrict access to important markets, impose complex bureaucratic procedures, or limit the
amount of profits realizable from foreign operations. Political or legislative actions can harm
business interests, even when this is not their intent. Laws may be unexpectedly strict, favor host
country interests, or result in unintended consequences. Country risk is especially prevalent in
emerging markets and other countries with developing economies.

Your Task

In this exercise, assume you are an employee with a company that plans to build a factory
abroad. Management is considering each of six countries (India, Venezuela, Poland, Turkey,
Namibia, UAE) as locations to build the factory, and you must decide which one is best.
Management prefers to establish operations in the country with the lowest risk. Your task is to
conduct market research on each country by searching various websites that deal with country
risk.

Specifically, you need to cover the following aspects in your report:
1. Evaluate the level of country risk in each country by examining the following variables:
a. Corruption
b. Political rights

2
c. Civil liberties
d. Freedom status
e. Economic freedom
2. Obtain scores on the variables from online sources and complete the spreadsheet below.
3. Rank the countries from lowest to highest overall risk.
4. Interpret the rankings and explain how you evaluate each country.
5. Recommend a country to build the factory with solid analyses.

Suggested Resources

Transparency International (TI) is an independent organization that fights against corruption.
TI publishes the annual Corruption Perceptions Index (CPI) (check
https://www.transparency.org/en/cpi/2021), which ranks corruption in more than 176 countries.
Visit the CPI at TI’s website to obtain the CPI score. In your analysis, you may find other TI
resources useful, such as the Global Corruption Barometer, a survey that assesses public attitudes
and experience on corruption in dozens of countries. Pay attention to the scale used in the score
system.

Freedom House (FH) (www.freedomhouse.org) is a non-governmental organization that
assesses freedom around the world. In numerous countries, FH assesses conditions regarding the
level of government accountability, the rule of law, and freedoms of expression and belief. At its
website, FH annually publishes its Freedom in the world 2020 (check
https://freedomhouse.org/explore-the-map?type=fotn&year=2021), an annual comparative
assessment of the state of political rights and civil liberties in over 190 countries. Read the
report and obtain the relevant scores. Pay attention to the scale used in the score system.

The Heritage Foundation (HF) (www.heritage.org) is a think-tank that annually publishes the
Index of Economic Freedom (check https://www.heritage.org/index/heatmap). The index
measures levels of economic freedom and government interference in 182 countries. The index
uses criteria such as level of trade barriers, rule of law, ability to enforce contracts, level of
business regulation, and the degree of protection of intellectual property rights.

IOM on three important issues in the nursing profession today

This paper should be a description of three of the most important issues in the profession of nursing today. There is not “right answer”. You need to identify three issues, present them succinctly, using the best evidence you can find,
and state why they are important. This is a relatively short paper so you need to be precise and highlight the most important points or your paper will be superficial. The issues can definitely relate to clinical practice. At least one of the issues should be taken from the 2010 IOM Report. (IOM report attached)
