1. Recommendation For An Evidence-Based Practice Change
PurposeTranslating knowledge into practice establishes evidence-based practice (EBP)
within the nursing profession. Nurse practitioners participate in the dissemination of
research evidence to support the creation of practice interventions. The purpose of this
assignment is to prepare students to disseminate evidence to support practice. Students
will synthesize the information they have gathered during the course to formulate a
presentation advocating for a practice change in relation to an area of interest to NP
practice.Activity Learning OutcomesThrough this assignment, the student will demonstrate
the ability to:Through this assessment, the student will meet the following Course
Outcomes:CO1: Integrate evidence-based practice and research to support advancement of
holistic nursing care in diverse healthcare settings. (PO 1,4)CO2: Integrate knowledge
related to evidence-based practice and person-centered care to improve health outcome.
(PO 1, 2)CO3: Demonstrate professional and personal growth through a spirit of inquiry,
scholarship, and service in diverse healthcare settings. (PO 3, 4)CO4: Develop knowledge
related to research and evidence-based practice as a basis for designing and critiquing
research studies. (PO 1, 5)CO5: Analyze research findings and evidence-based practice to
advance holistic care initiatives that promote positive healthcare outcomes. (PO 1, 2,
5)RequirementsIn Week 7, students will create a PowerPoint slide show with notes pages
discussing their PICOT question, literature review, and recommendations for change. In
Week 8, students will create a Kaltura recording of the presentation for the Peer Discussion
thread.Criteria for ContentStudents will synthesize the information they have gathered
during the course to formulate a presentation advocating for a practice change in relation to
an area of interest to NP practice.In a PowerPoint Presentation, address the following.Title
SlideIntroduction (1 slide): Slide should identify concepts to be addressed and sections of
the presentation. Include speaker’s notes that explain, in more detail, what will be
covered.Practice Issue (1-3 slides): Describe the area of interest and practice issue/problem
related to NP practice selected in week 2. Explain why the issue/concern is important to
nurse practitioner practice and its impact on health outcomes. Provide speaker notes.
Provide scholarly references to support your ideas.PICOT Question (1 slide): Provide the
PICOT question developed in week 2. Describe each element of your PICOT question in one
or two sentences, being sure to address all the following:P-Population and problem – What
is the nursing practice concern or problem and whom does it affect?I–Intervention – What
evidence-based solution for the problem would you like to apply?C–Comparison – What is
another solution for the problem? Note that this is typically the current practice, no

2. intervention at all, or alternative solutions.O–Outcome – Very specifically, how will you
know that the intervention worked? Think about how you will measure the outcome.T–
Time frame – What is the Timeframe involved for the EBP initiative or the target date of
completion?Literature review (2-4 slides):Summarize the literature review completed in
week 5. Discuss themes and special concerns. Discuss any unique insight or perspective
offered from the literature. Provide speaker notes. Speaker notes and/or slides include
citations from scholarly nursing literature which support the assertions
presented.Recommendations (3 slides):Slide 1: Identify the evidence-based
recommendation for the identified practice change. Speaker’s notes should fully explain the
recommended change and rationale for the change. Provide support from scholarly
references to support the recommendation.Slide 2: Identify the key stakeholders impacted
by the recommended change. Speaker’s notes add detail.Slide 3: Analyze the
recommendation in terms of fit, feasibility, and appropriateness as discussed by Dang and
Dearholt (2018), ch. 8. Speaker’s notes add detail. *Note: information regarding
stakeholders, fit, feasibility, and appropriateness may be based on personal experience or
on information you found in your research. If the identified factors come from the literature,
provide reference citations to support your ideas.Conclusion: (1 slide)Slide provides
summary points of presentation. Speaker’s notes provide final comments on the topic.
