MODULE 1
DQ 1
The DPI Project is conducted using a quantitative method driven by quality improvement. Provide a rationale for using a quantitative method in contrast to other methods (e.g., qualitative method or mixed method). Describe how the quantitative method is in line with quality improvement. Provide evidence supporting your response.
Define and distinguish among nominal, ordinal, interval, and ratio variables used in the measurement of DPI Project outcomes. Discuss the errors which can be made by failing to understand the proper use of measurement variables based on level and type of comparison.

Describe the survey, instrument, or tool you plan to use in your DPI Project and explain why this is the best for your project. Describe the tool in terms of name, the number of items, how it is answered (e.g., multiple choice, Likert scale, yes/no, open answer), the total score, and the level of measurement. Describe the reliability and validity of the instrument including the applicable psychometric data. Provide evidence supporting your response.
DQ-2
There are many types of errors that can be found in data. Depending on the source of data, the cleansing process can take a substantial amount of time, and the attention to detail should not be underestimated. After reading Chapter 12 in Clinical Analytics and Data Management for the DNP, compare four common types of data errors and identify a method for cleaning each error. Provide evidence supporting your response.
Resources
Read Chapters 5, 6, 9, and 12 in Clinical Analytics and Data Management for the DNP.
MODULE 3
DQ-1
Descriptive statistics, such as demographics of the sample, are required for the DPI Project. Describe the project population and project sample. What demographic variables of your sample will you collect? What data source will you use to get these data? What do these data tell you about your sample? Provide evidence supporting your response.
Compare parametric and nonparametric statistical tests. How does each test depend on the assumption of normality? What would you do if the data are not normally distributed? Provide evidence supporting your response.

MODULE 4
DQ 1
Power analysis is used to determine if a sample size is adequate to evaluate project outcomes prior to initiating any project. This is also called a priori. Justify the project sample size for your DPI Project by using the sample size calculator to conduct a power analysis. Discuss how your sample size may affect the validity of your project. Determine the sampling method used in your project. Compare the convenience sample to other sampling methods. Provide evidence supporting your response.
DQ 2
While the goal of the DPI Project is to achieve clinical significance, you will also need to discuss if the data analysis also has statistical significance. Statistical significance (p = .05) helps determine whether a result is by chance. On the chance that your DPI Project does not result in statistical significance, explain how you can justify clinical significance.

Data visualization allows data findings to be reported in a graph, chart, or other visual format. It communicates the relationship of the data with images. This is important because it allows trends and patterns to be more easily seen. Describe the best way to visualize the data you will collect for your DPI Project to have the most effect on your audience.
