Barrett, The Honors College Thesis/Creative Project Collection
Barrett, The Honors College at Arizona State University proudly showcases the work of undergraduate honors students by sharing this collection exclusively with the ASU community.
Barrett accepts high performing, academically engaged undergraduate students and works with them in collaboration with all of the other academic units at Arizona State University. All Barrett students complete a thesis or creative project which is an opportunity to explore an intellectual interest and produce an original piece of scholarly research. The thesis or creative project is supervised and defended in front of a faculty committee. Students are able to engage with professors who are nationally recognized in their fields and committed to working with honors students. Completing a Barrett thesis or creative project is an opportunity for undergraduate honors students to contribute to the ASU academic community in a meaningful way.
Knowledge of the False Claims Act is necessary for nurse practitioners. Education on the False Claims Act is a preventive measure to protect patients, taxpayers, and federal health care programs. To provide the necessary education, I conducted extensive research on the False Claims Act, examined the literature to determine the relevance of the False Claims Act to nurse practitioners, conducted interviews with members in charge of preparing students to become nurse practitioners, and evaluated the best means to present the information. My end product is infographics that provide an overview of the complexities of the False Claims Act. From a health care compliance perspective, the infographics are resources that promote compliance with the False Claims Act through education.
