Week 2 & 3 Assignment

Evidence-Based Project

Is there a difference
between “common practice” and “best practice”?

When you first went to
work for your current organization, experienced colleagues may have shared with
you details about processes and procedures. Perhaps you even attended an
orientation session to brief you on these matters. As a “rookie,” you likely kept
the nature of your questions to those with answers that would best help you
perform your new role.

Over time and with
experience, perhaps you recognized aspects of these processes and procedures
that you wanted to question further. This is the realm of clinical inquiry.

Clinical inquiry is
the practice of asking questions about clinical practice. To continuously
improve patient care, all nurses should consistently use clinical inquiry to
question why they are doing something the way they are doing it. Do they know
why it is done this way, or is it just because we have always done it this way?
Is it a common practice or a best practice?

In this Assignment,
you will identify clinical areas of interest and inquiry and practice searching
for research in support of maintaining or changing these practices. You will
also analyze this research to compare research methodologies employed.

To Prepare:

Review the Resources
and identify a clinical issue of interest that can form the basis of a clinical
inquiry.

Based on the clinical
issue of interest and using keywords related to the clinical issue of interest,
search at least four different databases in the Walden Library to identify at
least four relevant peer-reviewed articles related to your clinical issue of
interest.

Review the results of
your peer-reviewed research and reflect on the process of using an unfiltered
database to search for peer-reviewed research.

Reflect on the types
of research methodologies contained in the four relevant peer-reviewed articles
you selected.

Part 1: An Introduction
to Clinical Inquiry

Create a 4- to 5-slide
PowerPoint presentation in which you do the following:

Identify and briefly
describe your chosen clinical issue of interest.

Describe how you used
keywords to search on your chosen clinical issue of interest.

Identify the four
research databases that you used to conduct your search for the peer-reviewed
articles you selected.

Provide APA citations
of the four peer-reviewed articles you selected.

Part 2: Identifying
Research Methodologies

After reading each of
the four peer-reviewed articles you selected, use the Matrix Worksheet template
to analyze the methodologies applied in each of the four peer-reviewed
articles. Your analysis should include the following:

The full citation of
each peer-reviewed article in APA format.

A brief (1-paragraph)
statement explaining why you chose this peer-reviewed article and/or how it
relates to your clinical issue of interest, including a brief explanation of
the ethics of research related to your clinical issue of interest.

A brief (1-2
paragraph) description of the aims of the research of each peer-reviewed
article.

A brief (1-2
paragraph) description of the research methodology used. Be sure to identify if
the methodology used was qualitative, quantitative, or a mixed-methods
approach. Be specific.

A brief (1- to
2-paragraph) description of the strengths of each of the research methodologies
used, including reliability and validity of how the methodology was applied in
each of the peer-reviewed articles you selected.
