NRS490 week 1-5 discussions 2017

Which scholarly databases (name two) in the GCU Library will you choose in order to find the best research articles to support your EBP proposal? Discuss why these two (at least) databases are better than Google Scholar or a general Internet search?

dq2

The Institute of Medicine has stated a goal that 90% of practice be evidence-based by 2020. We are currently at approximately 15%. Discuss two barriers that might hold nursing practice from achieving this goal. In your responses to course colleagues, suggest ways in which identified barriers may be addressed.

Week 2

During your practicum, determine what clinical problem or issue the organization is facing. Discuss two implications for nursing.

Dq2

What is the main issue for your organization in addressing a solution to evidence-based nursing practice? Discuss what might be the first step in addressing and resolving this issue.

Week 3

Submit a summary of six of your articles on the discussion board. Discuss one strength and one weakness to each of these six articles on why they may or may not provide sufficient evidence for your practice change.

Dq2

Name two difference methods for evaluating evidence. Compare and contrast these two methods.

week 4

With your mentor, discuss why understanding the health care system at the local level plays an important part in the logistics of an EBP implementation. Discuss one of your learnings from this conversation that you will take into consideration for your own change project.

dq2

Identify two change theories, and in your selection process include asking your mentor which one(s) he or she uses or has used. Compare and contrast each one and then note which theory makes the most sense for implementing your specific EBP project?

Week 5

Stakeholder support is necessary for a successful change proposal project implementation. Name one internal (facility, unit or health care setting where the change process is situated) and one external stakeholder (individual or group outside the health care setting) and (1) why their support is necessary to the success of your project, and (2) how you will go about securing that support.

Dq2

Technology is integral to successful implementation in many projects, through either support or integration or both. Name at least one technology that you might or will need to work with that will improve the implementation process and the outcomes of your EBP project.
