Introduction
How might you predict future events in your practice? Why is it important, as a future DNP-prepared nurse, to consider such future events?
For a DNP-prepared nurse, future predictions might lead to better patient outcomes and care. Therefore, analyzing factors to predict or evaluate can assist in transforming nursing practice or healthcare delivery. The “statistical procedure most commonly used for prediction is regression analysis” (Gray & Grove, 2020).

What’s Happening This Week?
In Week 8, Regression, you will examine the application of linear regression. You will analyze the strengths and weaknesses of the findings in a research study determined with linear regression, as well as explore alternatives to strengthen the aims of the study. You will also begin work on the Quality Improvement Project. While this Assignment is not due until Week 10, you are encouraged to begin this Assignment this week.
