Develop a 2-4-page scholarly paper in which you describe a quality or safety
issue, or a chosen diagnosis, and then identify and analyze credible evidence
that could be used as the basis for applying EBP to the issue.
The goal of using evidence-based research findings is to enhance safety and
quality of patient care and ensure optimal outcomes are achieved. It is not
uncommon to hear a nurse say, "why change it as we’ve always done it this way."
However, this is no longer acceptable in today's practice environment. The
profession of nursing has evolved, and the expectation is that the professional
nurse has a scientific foundation to support the care that is provided. As the
profession of nursing continues to evolve and engage in health care
transformation, baccalaureate-prepared nurses are expanding taking on
leadership roles that include incorporating EBPs. To be able to do this, the nurse
needs to understand the criteria and makes a resource credible, as this is crucial
when deciding if the research is valid and reliable for implementation into health
care settings.
It would be an excellent choice to complete the Vila Health Determining the
Credibility of Evidence activity prior to developing the report. The activity is a
media simulation that offers an opportunity to review a scenario and work on
determining the credibility of presented evidence. These skills will be necessary
to complete Assessment 2 successfully. This media simulation is one potential
source of context on which to base your assessment submission. This will take
just a few minutes of your time and is not graded.
Demonstration of Proficiency
By successfully completing this assessment, you will demonstrate your
proficiency in the course competencies through the following assessment scoring
guide criteria:
Competency 2: Analyze the relevance and potential effectiveness
of evidence when making a decision.
Explain criteria that should be considered when determining
credibility of resources such as journal articles and websites.
Analyze the credibility and relevance of evidence and
resources within the context of a quality or safety issue, or a chosen
diagnosis.
o Competency 3: Apply an evidence-based practice model to
address a practice issue.
Explain the importance of incorporating credible evidence
into an EBP model used to address a quality or safety issue, or a
chosen diagnosis.

, o Competency 4: Plan care based on the best available
evidence.
Describe a quality or safety issue, or a chosen diagnosis,
that could benefit from an evidence-based approach.
o Competency 5: Apply professional, scholarly communication
strategies to lead practice changes based on evidence.
Communicate using writing that is clear, logical, and
professional with correct grammar and spelling using current APA style.
Professional Context
As a baccalaureate-prepared nurse, you will be responsible for locating and
identifying credible and scholarly resources to incorporate the best available
evidence for the purposes of enhancing clinical reasoning and judgement
skills. When reliable and relevant evidence-based findings are utilized, patients,
health care systems, and nursing practice outcomes are positively impacted.
Scenario
For this assessment, you may choose from the following options as the context
for the quality or safety issue or chosen diagnosis for researching and completing
this assessment:
The specific diagnosis you identified in your previous assessment.
Diagnosis: Breast Cancer
Instructions
The purpose of this analysis is to better understand what constitutes credibility
of journal articles as well as websites. The role of the baccalaureate-prepared
nurse in incorporating evidence-based research continues to growth in clinical
practice. As quality improvement (QI) measures to reduce safety risks continue
to be emphasized, the need for evidence-based models and evidence-based
templates is growing. This type of systematic approach to incorporating
evidence-based findings allows nurses to make clinical and operational decisions
based upon the best available evidence. When the most up-to-date evidence-
based findings are utilized, patient-centered care improves outcomes and
enhances the patient experience.
