Evidence-Based Practice Assignment
Evidence-Based Practice Assignment
Permalink:
Consider issues related to your nursing practice. What stands out to you about your specialty area? What questions or concerns do you think are especially in need of attention? Why? How would you most like to contribute to the knowledge base of your profession?
The EBP Assignment provides a significant opportunity for furthering the nursing profession. Formulating a specific, applicable question is a necessary first step for developing your project. The question defines the focus of the EBP Assignment and guides your selection of research methods and tools. Think about aspects of your specialty area, and begin to formulate a question that relates to your nursing practice.
The primary purpose of this Discussion is to provide a forum in which you and your colleagues can support each other in cultivating a practice-related question. Developing an Evidence-Based Practice (EBP) Assignment Question
To prepare FOR Developing an Evidence-Based Practice (EBP) Assignment Question:
Develop your EBP Assignment question using the PICO (patient group, issue or intervention, comparison, outcome) method as described in Chapter 2 of Clinical Research for the Doctor of Nursing Practice (p. 29) and other resources. Depending on your specialty area, you may modify the PICO method as necessary to be appropriate for your target population. Developing an Evidence-Based Practice (EBP) Assignment Question
Begin to complete the “Literature Review Matrix,” reviewing at least four to six research articles relevant to your specialty area and your EBP Assignment question. Note any areas of difficulty that you encounter, as well as any strategies or insights that might be beneficial to others.
Reflect on the information presented in the McCurry, Revell, and Roy article listed in the Learning Resources.
What questions or concerns, if any, do you have about how to develop your project question and/or expand your expertise in your specialty area?
By Day 3 OF Developing an Evidence-Based Practice (EBP) Assignment Question
Post a cohesive scholarly response that addresses the following:
Share your project question, as you have developed it thus far.
Discuss salient elements that inform your project question: theory, current research, nursing practice, and specialty knowledge. Developing an Evidence-Based Practice (EBP) Assignment Question
Pose any questions or concerns you may have related to developing your project question or literature review. You may also include any other issues related to expanding your expertise within your specialty area.
Read a selection of your colleagues’ responses.
By Day 6 OF Developing an Evidence-Based Practice (EBP) Assignment Question
Respond to two of your colleagues by providing feedback on their project question:
Consider the following when providing feedback:
Is the project question easily understood?
Is the answer to the project question not immediately obvious?
Can the project question be answered in the time available to the researcher?
You may also respond to your colleagues in the following ways:
Ask a probing question, substantiated with additional background information, evidence, or research.
Share an insight from having read your colleagues’ postings, synthesizing the information to provide new perspectives. Developing an Evidence-Based Practice (EBP) Assignment Question
Offer and support an alternative perspective, using readings from the classroom and/or from your own research in the Walden Library.
Validate an idea with your own experience and additional research.
Make a suggestion based on additional evidence drawn from readings or after synthesizing multiple postings. Developing an Evidence-Based Practice (EBP) Assignment Question
Expand on your colleagues’ postings by providing additional insights or contrasting perspectives based on readings and evidence.
Return to this Discussion in a few days to read the responses to your initial posting. Note what you learned and/or any insights you gained as a result of the comments made by your colleagues.
Be sure to support your work with specific citations from this week’s Learning Resources and any additional sources.Developing an Evidence-Based Practice (EBP) Assignment Question
NURS 8410 Week 1: Developing a Focus in Your Specialty Area
As a nurse and a doctoral student, you have already developed a set of skills and the expertise that have enabled you to contribute to the nursing profession and to those you serve. Yet, your call to advanced practice warrants a deeper understanding of issues and approaches, particularly in your area of specialty practice. To practice at the highest level, you must be able to analyze a health care problem using reasoning, theory, research, and experience.
As you move forward in this course, you will create an Evidence-Based Practice (EBP), in which you will evaluate the scientific foundations of a health care issue in your specialty area, apply effective practices, identify and evaluate outcomes, and develop new practice guidelines. This week, you will become familiar with the requirements of the EBP Assignment, which will be completed as part of your practicum experience. To help you prepare for your practicum, this week you reflect on your own potential for professional growth and create learning objectives to guide your experience. The EBP Assignment must be completed during this practicum experience and is not the same as your DNP project that you are developing with the guidance of your DNP faculty chair and committee in the mentoring courses.
Learning Objectives
Students will:
Formulate a EBP Assignment question incorporating theory, knowledge, research, reasoning, and nursing practice
Assess areas for professional growth within the practicum experience
Looking Ahead
You are required to keep a log of the time you spend related to your practicum experience. You can access your time log from the Welcome page in your Meditrek account. Please make sure to continuously input your hours throughout the term. Time logs are reviewed by your instructors in weeks 3, 7, and 11.

Remember-know instructions (Experiments 2 and 3)
These instructions were read by the experimenter, and are as follows:
Now you will be shown a series of individual words and asked if you recognize the word from the studying phase or if it is a new word. As you make your decision about recog- nizing a word, I would like you to bear in mind the following:
204 J.P. Hennessee et al. / Journal of Memory and Language 94 (2017) 195–205
Often, when remembering a previous event or occur- rence, we consciously recollect and become aware of aspects of the previous experience. At other times, we sim- ply know that something has occurred before, but without being able consciously to recollect anything about its occurrence or what we experienced at the time. For exam- ple, if I see a friend on the bus today and recall having lunch with him earlier, I would say that I remember that person from before. If I see someone on the bus that appears familiar, but I can’t remember having met him, I would say that I only know that person.
On the following task, if you recollect the word con- sciously, please press the button ‘‘r” on your keyboard. If you simply know that the word was in the previous study set, please press one number from ‘‘1” to ‘‘6” to indicate how confident you are that you saw or did not see that word before. So, for each word you see, please press ‘‘r” if you recollect its occurrence, or a number between ‘‘1” and ‘‘6” if you simply know that it was shown before.”
