1. Course Project: Part 3—Translating Evidence Into Practice
In Part 3 of the Course Project, you consider how the evidence
you gathered during Part 2 can be translated into nursing
practice.

Now that you have located available research on your PICOT
question, you will examine what the research indicates about
nursing practices. Connecting research evidence and findings to
actual decisions and tasks that nurses complete in their daily
practice is essentially what evidence-based practice is all about.
This final component of the Course Project asks you to translate
the evidence and data from your literature review into authentic
practices that can be adopted to improve health care outcomes.
In addition, you will also consider possible methods and
strategies for disseminating evidence-based practices to your
colleagues and to the broader health care field.
To prepare:
Consider Parts 1 and 2 of your Course Project. How does the
research address your PICOT question?
With your PICOT question in mind, identify at least one nursing
practice that is supported by the evidence in two or more of the
articles from your literature review. Consider what the evidence

2. indicates about how this practice contributes to better outcomes.
Explore possible consequences of failing to adopt the evidence-
based practice that you identified.
Consider how you would disseminate information about this
evidence-based practice throughout your organization or
practice setting. How would you communicate the importance of
the practice?
To complete:
In a 3- to 4-page paper:
Restate your PICOT question and its significance to nursing
practice.
Summarize the findings from the articles you selected for your
literature review. Describe at least one nursing practice that is
supported by the evidence in the articles. Justify your response
with specific references to at least 2 of the articles.
Explain how the evidence-based practice that you identified
contributes to better outcomes. In addition, identify potential
negative outcomes that could result from failing to use the
evidence-based practice.
Outline the strategy for disseminating the evidence-based
practice that you identified throughout your practice setting.
Explain how you would communicate the importance of the
practice to your colleagues. Describe how you would move from
disseminating the information to implementing the evidence-
based practice within your organization. How would you
address concerns and opposition to the change in practice?
This part of the Course Project is due. It should be combined
with the other two components of the Course Project and turned
in as your Portfolio Assignment for this course.
Note: In addition, include a 1-page summary of your project.
You will combine Parts 1, 2, and 3 of your Course Project
(assigned in Weeks 2, 4, and 8 respectively) into one cohesive

3. and cogent paper.
For this final iteration, you will need to:
Submit your paper to Grammarly and SafeAssign through the
Walden Writing Center. Based on the Grammarly and
SafeAssign reports, revise your paper as necessary.
Reminder: The School of Nursing requires that all papers
submitted include a title page, introduction, summary, and
references. The School of Nursing Sample Paper provided at the
Walden Writing Center provides an example of those required
elements (available from the Walden University website found
in this week’s Learning Resources). All papers submitted must
use this formatting.

and assessing evidence for nursing practice (10th ed.).

Chapter 12, “Sampling in Quantitative Research”
This chapter introduces key concepts concerning sampling in
quantitative research. This includes such concepts as a
description of populations, different types of sampling and their
uses, and how to determine a manageable, yet sufficient number
to be included in a sample. The chapter also includes
suggestions for implementing a sampling plan.
Chapter 13, “Data Collection in Quantitative Research”
Once a sampling design is complete, the next step is to collect
the data, and this is the focus of Chapter 13. The chapter
describes how to develop a data collection plan, and provides

4. information about the different types of instruments that can be
used, such as structured observation and biophysiologic
measures.
Chapter 22, “Sampling in Qualitative Research”
The focus of this chapter is on the sampling process in
qualitative research. The chapter describes the different types of
sampling and when they are commonly used. Sampling
techniques in the three main qualitative traditions (ethnography,
phenomenological studies and grounded theory studies) are
highlighted.
Chapter 23, “Data Collection in Qualitative Research”
This chapter examines the process of data collection in
qualitative research as well as key issues surrounding data
collection. This includes such methods as self-reporting,
surveys, interviews, and personal journal keeping. The chapter
also highlights important considerations when utilizing
unstructured observations to gather data and how to record field
notes.
