GCU NUR699 All Weeks Discussions Latest 2019 November

NUR699 Evidence Based Practice Project

Week 1 Discussion

DQ1 What is
the difference between research- and evidence-based practice projects? Provide
an example of each one and the reason for the difference. Why should nurses be
interested in learning about EBP?

DQ2 How
would a nurse practitioner and a nurse manager differ with regard to how they
use and incorporate EBP in their areas of practice?

Week 2 Discussion

DQ1 Review
the “General Appraisal Overview for All Studies,” available in
Appendix B in the textbook. You should save this tool and use it throughout the
development of the PICOT question, problem description, and literature review.

Begin the
development of your PICOT question, using the following resources:

“Appendix
A: Template for Asking Clinical Questions,” available in the textbook
appendix

Text
readings

Formulate
your PICOT question and post it to the main forum. Respond to at least four
other statements, providing feedback. Review the statements to see if the
clinical issue is clearly defined and that all aspects are identified. Also
refer to the “PICOT: Components of an Answerable, Searchable
Question” table, located in chapter 2 of the text. If one PICOT statement
has at least three feedback posts, move to another statement.

You will be
using the feedback to make revisions to your PICOT question before using it in
your “Section B: Problem Description” assignment.

DQ2 What
strategies will you use in your new practice as an advance practice nurse to
review and critique literature pertinent to your practice?

Week 3 Discussion

DQ1 What
levels of evidence are present in relation to research and practice, and why it
is important regardless of the method you use?

DQ2 What
factors must be assessed when critically appraising quantitative studies (e.g.,
validity, reliability, and applicability)? Which is the most important? Why?

Week 4 Discussion

DQ1 What
are some of the obstacles or barriers to implementing EBP in nursing? Provide a
rationale for your answer. Since there are numerous topics on the issue, it is
not appropriate to repeat one that has already been mentioned unless providing
new information.

DQ2 Conducting
research projects while ensuring the protection of human subjects is necessary.
What are some methods to protect personal rights of someone in one of the
groups that is labeled as vulnerable? Justify your rationale.

Week 5 Discussion

DQ1 Why is
it important to incorporate a theory or model related to change when
implementing practice changes? Does the benefit of incorporating a change model
outweigh the time and effort it took to include it?

DQ2 Consider
an obstacle or barrier to the implementation of evidence-based practice you
identified in last week’s discussion. What are two ways to address this
problem?

Week 6 Discussion

DQ1 When
reviewing the literature and different types of evidence, there are often gaps
in the findings. Are such gaps a help or a hindrance when wanting to create a
change?

DQ2 What is
the difference between statistically significant evidence and clinically
significant evidence? How would each of these findings be used to advance an
evidenced-based project?

Week 7 Discussion

DQ1 Research
and EBP projects can be communicated in many ways. Which method do you think is
most effective to get to the staff nurse level? To the advance practice nurses?
How will you ensure that all appropriate audiences receive your information?

Week 8 Discussion

DQ1 Post
your “Evidence-Based Practice Proposal Project Presentation.” Review
all of the presentations but provide critical commentary only to five others
posted. Address the strengths of the proposal as well as recommendations for
improvement. If a post already has five feedback posts then move on to another
one. You will be responsible for responding to each peer’s feedback that is
posted to your original presentation post.

DQ2 There
is power in having data to support change. The EBP process is one way of
advancing improvements in healthcare. Identify three strategies that you will
now incorporate into your practice based on this course. Explain your
rationale.
