Instructions to complete the paper 1) Pick one of the grand nursing theories from chapters 7-9 (except Henderson or Peplau) My choice is “Betty Neuman: The Neuman System Model” Txt book used is Theoretical Basis for nursing 5th edition by Melanie McEwen and Evelyn M.Wills 2) Obtain an original work of the theorist (i.e., primary source). You may not be able to so get a source that exemplifies the theory. Do not use your textbook. Provide the reference in your post. 3) Read the following case study and think about how your theorist would interpret the assessment information provided and intervene. All of this should be consistent with the grand nursing theory you choose. ( below is the case study) Mrs. Bedlam gave birth to a premature boy baby 3 weeks ago. The baby is still in the NICU at the major medical center 45 miles away. Mrs. Bedlam has only been able to visit once a week when her husband has a day off and can watch their other children, all girls, ages 1, 3, 4, and 6. The Bedlam family moved from Saudi Arabia 2 years ago. Prior to this pregnancy, Mrs. Bedlam was taking Prozac for depression. She states she feels so guilty because she can’t come to see the baby more often and can’t breast feed him as her culture demands. Baby Boy Bedlam has necrotizing entercolitis and at least one intracranial bleed. He now weighs 1800 grams. His ventilator is set to deliver 85% oxygen. Here are some suggestions for concepts to discuss within your theory – depression, post partum. guilt, stress, family, premature,transitions, adaptation. Address the following items. 1. State which theory you are using In your initial post. Try to be the theorist and see the case from the theory. For example if you were Roy you will write about maintaining infection control for the baby in the NICU since her theory is on adaptation to the environm 3. Write a nursing diagnosis 4. Write one intervention for the diagnosis that could be applied to the family in the case study. You may choose either the mother, the infant, or the family as your focus. THE INTERVENTION MUST BE CONGRUENT WITH THE THEORY. please have 2 reference APA format w/ DOI ( very important) primary reference should be one of Betty Neuman original work. the other one can be the Text Book.

Developing the ReportUse the same Excel project file for Part 2 of the project that you had used in Part 1 of the project. As mentioned in Part 1 of the project, each Excel project file has two tabs – DATA and Variable INFO. The DATA worksheet contains a YELLOW column representing the numerical response variable. The DARK ORANGE column, is the numerical predictor variable used in the simple regression modeling in Part 1 of the project. For Part 2 of the project use the DARK ORANGE column numerical predictor variable, the BLUE column categorical variable (the “dummy” variable) and all other WHITE column numerical variables as potential predictor variables in the multiple regression analysis.IntroductionContinuing with the introduction you had developed for Part 1 report of the team project, using the YELLOW-highlighted numerical variable column in your Excel worksheet as the response variable of interest, create a “scenario” of one paragraph that describes the data file for your project and why you (the ?????? Corporation/Group) are performing a multiple regression analysis with multiple variables this time.BackgroundDescribe (in words) the rationale for considering these predictor variables as potential predictors of the numerical response variable. One of these predictor variables should be a two-category “dummy” variable – the BLUE-highlighted categorical variable column in your Excel worksheet.Multiple Regression Modeling StepsOpen the Excel worksheet containing your Team Project Data.As you learned in Modules 2 and 3, you will be using the set of potentially meaningful numerical independent variables and the one selected “two-category” dummy variable in your study to develop a “best” multiple regression model for predicting your numerical response variable Y. Follow the step by step modeling process described in the PowerPoints at the end of Module 3.Start with a visual assessment of the possible relationships of your numerical dependent variable Y with each potential predictor variable by developing the scatterplot matrix (use JMP) and paste this into your report.Then fit a preliminary multiple regression model using these potential numerical predictor variables and, at most, one categorical dummy variable.Then assess collinearity with VIF until you are satisfied that you have a final set of possible predictors that are “independent,” i.e., not unduly correlated with each other. Note your observations.Use stepwise regression approaches to fit a multiple regression model with this set of potentially meaningful numerical independent variables (and, if appropriate, the one selected categorical dummy variable).(1) Based on the forward modeling criterion determine which independent variables should be included in your regression model.(2) Based on the backward selection modeling criterion determine which independent variables should be included in your regression model.(3) Based on the mixed selection modeling criterion determine which independent variables should be included in your regression model.(4) Based on the Adjusted r2 criterion determine which independent variables should be included in your regression model.Comment on the consistency of your findings in Step 2D (1)-(4).Paste screenshots of (1), (2), and (3) outputs from Step 2D above into your report.Based on Step 2D (along with the principle of parsimony if necessary) select a “best”multiple regression model. Note your finding.Using the predictor variables from your selected “best” multiple regression model, rerun the multiple regression model in order to assess its assumptions. You may use Excel or JMP for this step.Look at the set of residual plots, cut and paste them into the report, and briefly comment on the appropriateness of your fitted model.(1) If the assumptions are met and the fitted model is appropriate, continue to Step 2J.(2) If the normality assumption is problematic, state this but continue to Step 2J with caution because your sample size is large enough for the central limit theorem to enable the use of classical inferential methods. Note: You do not need to check the assumption of independence in your project. That assumption is met because your project is not time-dependent.(3) If either the linearity or equality of variance assumption is violated in one or two scatter plots of Y with individual predictors then transform the particular independent variables involved following Tukey’s “ladder of powers” and rerun the multiple regression model as in Step 2H.Assess the significance of the overall fitted model. Note your observation.Assess the significance of each predictor variable. Note your observations.Write the sample multiple regression equation for the “final best” model you have developed.Interpret the meaning of the Y intercept and interpret the meaning of all the slopes for your fitted model (but do this in whatever units you used for Y to build this model).Interpret and describe the meaning of the coefficient of multiple determination r 2 .Interpret and describe the meaning of the standard error of the estimate SYX (in the units you used to build this model).Determine the 95% confidence interval estimate of the average value of Y for all occasions when the independent variables have the values you selected. Note your observation.Select one value for each of your independent variables in their respective relevant ranges:Predict ŷ and include the units in the results
