Each question has it own rubric attached. the first attachment is for the first question, then respectively

1. Your Annotated Bibliography assignment is the evidential foundation for your Evidence-Based Presentation assignment. In this assignment, students will pick a topic for the Evidence-Based Presentation and identify one new practice change related to that topic that is not already a standard of care. For example, before it was understood that the degrees of the head of a patient’s bed in immobile patients directly contributed to pneumonia rates, research was done to identify a range of 30 to 45 degrees. Before it was a standard of care, quality improvement projects focused on this practice change. An example in psychiatry might be short CBT bursts added to psychiatry sessions to improve patient mindfulness. This is not already common practice but is shown to be very effective.

Select at least six current original research articles published within the last five years to support your chosen practice change. For each article, place each article reference in APA format and write a summary that includes a) the purpose of the research, b) sample information, c) statistical significant or trustworthy results related to your practice change, d) recommendations made by the author(s), and e) your personal comments about the quality of the article. Submit this assignment using the respective link by the due date in Blackboard.

2. Develop a topic of personal/professional interest which exists in the realm of psychiatric and mental health care (an expansion on a topic discussed in class or a disorder that was not discussed). Papers must be a minimum of five pages in length (not including title, abstract, or reference pages), in APA format, and no more than ten pages, 10 being the maximum, excluding cover page and reference page.

3. The Evidence-Based Presentation is a professional quality improvement project that implements one of the main function of the MSN-level nurse – the analysis, synthesis, and translation of evidence into practice. Students will analyze the work that was done in the Annotated Bibliographies assignment, synthesize the findings and recommendations, and build a presentation to support the chosen practice change. This presentation should be audio/visual and available to viewers as a video. It is suggested that you create the presentation in PowerPoint using the Record Slide Show feature. Then, you can save your presentation as a YouTube video and submit the link for grading or submit through as a power point video link. Please contact COLLT for any video help. The instructors are not qualified to help with these IT issues.
