Please note this is a table and APA style is not required or references. I chose 1 reference because the system will not let me move on without that. This table is to be a reflection of the score from a test we took named APEA and it is supposed a reflection of what we have learned. This is supposed to identify areas where we need to improve before we re-take this test again at the end of the course before graduation. My 4 Knowledge areas of weakness are:
Respiratory, Psychiatry, Professional issues, pediatrics. My 2 test domain areas of weakness are: 1-Planning and Intervention
2- Diagnosis
I will paste the instructions and rubrics below and will send a separate file for the sample for the table they want us to use. I believe all you have to do is use the tables in word. Thank You.
Requirements:
Review the results of the APEA Pre-Predictor exam taken during NR603 in detail. Include a copy of this report as an appendix in your assignment submission.
Review the following APEA knowledge areas: Cardiovascular, dermatology, endocrine, EENT, gastroenterology, health promotion, hematology, men\’s health, neurology, orthopedics, pediatrics, pregnancy, professional issues, psychiatry, respiratory, sexually transmitted infections, urology, and women\’s health.
Review the following APEA testing domains: Assessment, diagnosis, evaluation, pharmacotherapeutics, and planning and intervention.
There must be a minimum of four (4) knowledge areas and two (2) testing domains included in the study plan (additional weak areas are encouraged to be included). At a minimum, the student should select the lowest scored four (4) knowledge areas and the lowest scored two (2) testing domains.
The study plan must include at least six (6) total learning goals based on the knowledge areas and testing domains (see above). Each goal must have at least four (4) associated learning activities, a timeline for completion (within the current class timeframe), and a reflection.
Learning activities must be clearly identified and detailed.
Learning activities may include, but are not limited to:
Practicing with subject specific and additional 150 question exams in the APEA myQbank
Additional time studying specific areas of the APEA review module
Watching a webinar
Reading specific journal articles
Attending a conference or workshop
Working with preceptor in clinical setting to address identified weaknesses
Reviewing case studies
Going through a practice simulation
Studying from the certification review textbook
Attending a live certification review course
Preparing the Assignment
The assignment must be completed in a table format (see below) or organized in such a way that each learning goal is clearly separated and easily identifiable. All parts of this assignment must be the student\’s original work. APA format is not required.
Rubrics:
1-This criterion is linked to a Learning OutcomeLearning Goals
Potential learning goals are identified from performance on the APEA Pre-Predictor Exam to inform a certification review plan to be completed while enrolled in this course. These objectively written goals answer the question: What do you want to accomplish?
2-This criterion is linked to a Learning OutcomeLearning Activities
Varied learning activities are planned for each learning goal identified in the first step of this assignment. These objectively written activities answer the question “How are you going to accomplish your goal?â€
3-Reflection
A graduate-level reflection will relate strengths and weaknesses and consider both formative and summative evaluative methods. The reflection will answer the question: How will accomplishing your goal improve your certification preparation or make you a better nurse practitioner?
4-This criterion is linked to a Learning OutcomeTimeline
A timeline will be created over 8 weeks to complete the various activities of the plan in a balanced-learning format. This timeline answers the question: When do what to accomplish your goal?
5-Assignment Format
Organization
Assignment is effectively organized and polished. Writing is demonstrative of a clearly organized set of ideas following a logical and consistent pattern and is succinct where appropriate.
Mechanics of Writing
Completes assignment in accordance with the standards of the latest edition of the American Psychological Association (APA) Publication Manual
