This paragraph(s) is to introduce the paper. State the problem
and potential solutions backed by evidence. Briefly, introduce
the nursing focused plan. Remember this is a scholarly APA
assignment so you cannot use first person. Remember that you
will keep all the bolded headings and just remove the non-
bolded content when you start your paper.
Change Model Overview
In this first paragraph, provide an overview of the John Hopkins
Nursing Evidence-Based Practice Process. Feel free to state why
nurses should use this model as a guide to facilitate change.
Under each of the second level headers listed below, you now
link your identified topic to the John Hopkins EBP Process.
Practice Question
Step 1: Recruit Interprofessional Team
You will be the leader of the team since this is your project.
Who will you also include in your team? Make sure you choose
relevant stakeholders. You should have no more than eight
members. Do not list your team members by name but instead
by position (pharmacists, charge nurse etc)
Step 2: Develop and Refine the EBP Question
Restate your question. Include the PICO elements but make sure

2. you write them in paragraph form and not in list format.
Step 3: Define the Scope of the EBP
Why is this a problem? Give statistics and information to back
the scope of the problem. How does this problem impact
healthcare on a broader scale?
Steps 4 and 5: Determine Responsibility of Team Members
Why are the members chosen important to your project? What
are their roles?
Evidence
Steps 6 and 7: Conduct Internal/ External Search for Evidence
and Appraisal of Evidence
What type of evidence did you find? EBP guidelines? Quality
improvement data? Position statements? Qualitative research?
Quantitative research? Briefly discuss the strength of this
research. This is not where you describe the results of your
studies. This is done in the following steps.
Steps 8 and 9: Summarize the Evidence
Synthesize the information that you obtained from your sources.
You will need at least four sources. Of these four sources, three
must be from peer-reviewed articles. The other source can be
from a reputable source. See page 44 of your text for examples
of sources you can use.
In this section, you need to synthesize the information from the
articles. Feel free to cite multiple articles within one sentence.
You should avoid one paragraph for each of the sources.
Step 10: Develop Recommendations for Change Based on
Evidence
What is your recommendation based on the research? Ideally,
you will have found enough support in your evidence to proceed
with implementing your pilot program.
Translation
Steps 11, 12, and 13, 14: Action Plan
You have not implemented your project yet, therefore, this
section will be hypothetical. Develop your plan for
implementation. What are the specific steps you will take to
implement your pilot study? What is the timeline for your plan?

3. Make sure you include a plan for evaluation of outcomes and
method to report the results.
Steps 16 and 16: Evaluating Outcomes and Reporting Outcomes
What are the desired outcomes? How will they be measured?
How will you report the results to the key stakeholders?
Steps 17: Identify Next Steps
How will you implement the plan on a larger scale? Will this be
applicable to other units or the facility as a whole? What will
you do to ensure that the implementation becomes permanent?
Step 18: Disseminate Findings
How will you communicate your findings internally (within
your organization) and externally (to others outside of your
organization)?
Conclusion
Provide a clear and concise summary. Review the key aspects of
the problem as well as the change model. Be sure to include
important aspects of the three levels of change for the John
Hopkins EBP process.

I was really bothered by the fact that selling and "donating"
eggs and sperm is actually becoming a business. People are
paying up to $150,000 to buy eggs or sperm from supermodels.
One sperm bank offers sperm donations from only scientists
with an I.Q. of over 135. Healthy, young, Ivy-league donors are
being offered up to $50,000 for their "donations." Need some
quick cash? I'll bet if your good-looking and score above a 28
on your ACT test, you could get at least $1,000 for your sperm!
An interesting point brought up by the student was
what happens if the purchasers of the gamete find that the final
product does not meet expectations. Who is to be held
responsible and what will be the attitude of the parents about

4. the child? Selling selected gametes might potentially lead to the
selection of genes—meaning genetically engineered human
beings.
1.) Is it ethical to commercialize and sell eggs and sperm for
reproduction?
2.) Would it be ethical to request specific genes to be added or
removed from your eggs and sperm to create the “perfect”
child?
**** Use examples from the reading and required resources to
support your answers to the above questions.

5. BRAND INVENTORY ASSIGNMENT
COMPANY: JP MORGAN CHASE BANK
Note: 1-2 pages response needed
This includes an overview of how all products and services are
marketed, branded and sold by the company. It should include
information about the company’s overall marketing strategies
and marketing objectives.
With regards to your specific brand:
Identify all brand elements (logos, symbols, characters,
packaging, slogans, trademarks)
1. Identify the inherent attributes of the product/idea/service
(pricing, communications, distribution policies, other relevant
marketing activities)
2. Profile direct and indirect competitive brands for points of
parity and points of difference.
Capstone Project Milestone #2:
Design for Change Proposal Guidelines
Purpose
You are to create a Design for Change proposal inclusive of
your PICO and evidence appraisal information from your
Capstone Project Milestone #1. Your plan is to convince your
management team of a nursing problem you have uncovered and
you feel is significant enough to change the way something is
currently practiced. In the event you are not currently working
as a nurse, please use a hypothetical clinical situation you
experienced in nursing school, or nursing education issue you
identified in your nursing program.
Course Outcomes
This assignment enables the student to meet the following
course outcomes.
CO1: Applies the theories and principles of nursing and related
disciplines to individuals, families, aggregates, and

6. communities from entry to the healthcare system through long-
term planning. (PO #1)
CO2: Proposes leadership and collaboration strategies for use
with consumers and other healthcare providers in managing care
and/or delegating responsibilities for health promotion, illness
prevention, health restoration and maintenance, and
rehabilitative activities. (PO #2)
Directions
• Create a proposal for your Design for Change
Capstone Project. Open the template in Doc Sharing. You will
include the information from Milestone #1, your PICO question,
and evidence appraisal, as you compose this proposal. Your
plan is to convince your management team of a nursing problem
you have uncovered and you feel is significant enough to
change the way something is currently practiced.
• The format for this proposal will be a paper following
the Publication manual of APA 6th edition.
• The paper is to be four- to six-pages excluding the
Title page and Reference page.
• As you organize your information and evidence,
include the following topics.
• Introduction: Write an introduction but do not use
“Introduction” as a heading in accordance with the rules put
forth in the Publication manual of the American Psychological
Association (2010, p. 63). Introduce the reader to the plan with
evidence-based problem identification and solution.
• Change Plan: Write an overview using the John
Hopkins Nursing EBP Model and Guidelines (2012)
• Practice Question
• Evidence
• Translation
• Summary
• Citations and Referencesmust be included to support
the information within each topic area. Refer to the APA
manual, Chapter 7, for examples of proper reference format. In-

7. text citations are to be noted for all information contained in
your paper that is not your original idea or thought. Ask
yourself, “How do I know this?” and then cite the source.
Scholarly sources are expected, which means using peer-
reviewed journals and credible websites.
• Tables and Figures may be added as appropriate to
the project. They should be embedded within the body of the
paper (see your APA manual for how to format and cite).
Creating tables and figures offers visual aids to the reader and
enhances understanding of your literature review and design for
change.
