Assignment Practice Scenario
Your Chief Nurse Executive (CNE) recognizes you are pursuing your BSN and has asked you to be a member of the nursing evidence-based practice (NEBP) committee. She has advised the members that the purpose is to conduct nursing research studies involving clinical practice problems. Increasing nurses’ awareness of quality and safety concerns will help develop an attitude of inquiry and asking questions (Sherwood & Barnsteiner, 2017). Baccalaureate nurses “collaborate in problem identification, participate in the process of search, retrieval, and documentation of evidence, and integrate evidence using credible databases and internet resources” (AACN, 2008, pp. 16-17).
The CNE has advised all members of the following areas of quality and safety clinical practice that each committee member needs to consider and choose one as a priority area for conducting a research study. Sources of research problems come from nursing clinical practice (Houser, 2018):
Quality
Safety
Patient satisfaction
Patient education
Falls
Non-pharmacological pain management
Errors (any). Examples include:
· Medication
· Patient identification
· Communication
Readmissions
Length of stay
Costs
Healthcare Associated Infections (HAIs). (Any type)
Examples include:
· Central Line Associated Blood Stream Infections (CLABSI)
· Catheter Associated Urinary Tract Infections (CAUTI)
· Ventilator Associated Pneumonia (VAP)
· Surgical Site Infections (SSI)
Sepsis
Discharge Teaching/Coaching
Transitions of Care/Level of Care
Pressure Ulcers
Skin Integrity
Your CNE has requested that you are to select one area and complete the PPL Worksheet using that topic. The committee will collaborate and decide as a team which nursing clinical problem area will be the priority focus of their next research study. Thank you for your valuable contributions to this important NEBP committee.

For this project, you will take on the role of a nurse practitioner treating a patient with a chronic condition. Your patient is not completely satisfied with the treatments you’ve tried and asks about a specific alternative therapy. Unfamiliar with these sorts of therapies, you decide to do some research before making recommendation. In this case, you get to decide what condition your patient has and which intervention he or she is interested in trying. Your objective is to determine whether or not you would recommend the regular treatment either alone or in combination with alternative treatment. The paper should not be more than 4 pages excluding the title page and references. APA format is required with a professional paper.

Evidence Based Leadership Change Project
/in Uncategorized /by developerASSIGNMENT DETAILS/ GRADING CRITERIA:
1. Evidenced-based Leadership Change project:
Instructions for Leadership Change Paper:
Observe your environment in the health care facility where you have clinical and monitor the
site for signs and symptoms of the need for change. Look at the nursing processes in place: do
they work efficiently, are infection control practices being done routinely. Anything can be a
catalyst for change as long as it adds something positive to the establishment. Then, diagnose
the problem that indicates a need for change:
1.
Pick a change theory. Lewin’s change theory is used widely in nursing. Despite this fact,
there are many other change theories you can use like Spradley’s theory of change,
Lippitts change theory or Roger’s theory of change. Pick the ones that best suit the
change you are trying to bring about.
2.
Put a plan together. Using your selected change theory, develop a plan based on each
step of the theory you have chosen. Your plan should address what you will do to solve
the problem you have diagnosed. It should include activities that will combat the
problem and bring about change, a method to measure the success of the plan such as a
quiz and a way to make the change permanent. Be sure to include a timeline or
timetable for your change project. It needs to have a beginning and an end.
3.
Type a 4-5 page double-spaced, APA formatted professional paper that describes your
project and submit to your instructor at the end of the semester. The paper has to
include:
An introduction: Brief description of the issue & Purpose of the paper
Assessment of the environment which needs to be changed: Current practice,
organizational structure, deriving and restraining forces, advantages of change,
cost and resources for implementing the change.
Planning: Goals of change, phases of change, timeline, how you will mobilize the
driving forces and minimize the restraining forces and plan of evaluation
Implementation: Needed training and education and methods
Evaluation.
Conclusion
4. Discuss the change theory you applied to the problem you diagnosed and
all the activities you planned for bringing about change.

Evidence Based Practice 19110001
/in Uncategorized /by developerPLEASE MEET THE COMPETENCIES !
Prepare a 4–5-page review of recent research that examines statistics on the primary health concern of a population, describes the methods and tools used in the research studies, explains the factors that affect health promotion and disease prevention for a population, and recommends a health care initiative.
Note: The assessments in this course build upon each other, so you are strongly encouraged to complete them in sequence.
The ability to locate, evaluate, and apply research is an important skill for nurses to develop in order to provide evidence-based care for individuals, families, communities, and health care systems.
By successfully completing this assessment, you will demonstrate your proficiency in the following course competencies and assessment criteria:
Assessment Instructions
Preparation
Your team has presented its preliminary findings to the executive leadership in your organization, but leadership has some doubts about some of the information they received. Each member of the team has been charged with doing a critical examination of recent research around each member’s area of expertise. As the team’s nursing representative, you need to look specifically at the health care concerns identified in the Windshield Survey assessment.
The first step in preparing to write a review of the research is to define your topic. For this assessment, your review will provide a comprehensive overview of the needs of the population you identified in the Windshield Survey assessment in terms of health promotion and disease prevention, the factors that contribute to health disparities for the population, and the need for the organization to improve health care delivery to the population.
In the Capella library (Capella University), search for current scholarly or peer-reviewed professional research articles that:
Locate at least 5–7 resources so that you can eliminate 2–3 if necessary. You may discover, for example, as you read each article more in-depth, that they may not all have the focus you need for your review.
Requirements
For this assessment, you need to develop several points around which to apply the research from the articles you located. Specifically, you need to:
These should be the ideas, or points, that your review is based on. For each point, present all of the evidence you located. For this assessment, that should be at least four current research articles, although not all of the articles will typically offer evidence on all of your points.
Be sure your assessment includes:
Your assessment should be 4–5 pages in length, not including the title page and reference page. Be sure you follow APA guidelines for style and format.
