10 Strategic Points for the Prospectus, Proposal, and Direct Practice Improvement
ProjectWeek Two Assignment Instructions DNP 820Please read the instructions thoroughly
there are strict requirements I need at least 10 different articles/literature reviews added
to the ones in the 815 attachment. I have also included the chart to be filled out All within 5
years and pertinent to the subject. Tutor MUST have a good command of the English
languageThe Rubric must be followed, and all the requirements metThis is a thorough
professor, and she has strict requirementsI have attached the PICOT and the first 10 points
(DNP 815) assignment. This is a continuation of that assignment. Please read the
attachmentsThe following needs to be addressed:Please note the followings: The
introduction and the literature review are complete and thorough. The problem statement
is written clearly PICOT is clear and very good Sample: · How will you determine the sample
size? · What are the inclusion/exclusion criteria of the subjects? Methodology: Why is the
selected methodology is appropriate? Please justify! · Data collection approach needs to be
clear. How will you collect your data? What is needed here is to describe the process of
collecting data form signing the informed consent until completing the measuring. · Data
analysis-What test will you use to answer your research question? Clinical/PICOT
Questions: “In adult patients with CVC at a Clear Lake Regional Medical Center, does
interventional staff education about hub hygiene provided to RN’s who access the CVC
impact CLABSI rates compared to standard care over a one-month period?”P: Patients with
Central Venous CathetersI: Staff re-education related to Hygiene of the hubC: Other
hospitalsO: Reduce probability of CLABSIsT: Two months“In Patients > 65 years of age with
central line catheters at a Clear Lake Regional Medical Center, how does staff training of key
personnel and reinforcement of central line catheter hub hygiene after its insertion, along
with the apt cleansing of the insertion site, before every approach compared with other area
hospitals, reduce the incidence of CLABSIs (Central Line Associated Blood-stream
Infections) over a one-month period?”P: Patients > 65 years of age with a Central lineI: Staff
training and reinforcement of Central Catheter, Hub Hygiene C: Other area hospitals O:
Reduce probability of CLABSIs“In adult patients, with define CVC (CVC), does interventional
staff education about hub hygiene provided to RN’s who access the CVC impact CLABSI rates
compared to pre and post-intervention assessments 1. I used central Missouri as an
example, replace with a description of your site. 2. While you might be interested in CLASBI

2. rates as a primary variable, there are other patient outcomes that would also be important
to consider3. Ensure you can find validity and reliability measures on CLASBI rates if you
cannot, we need to determine another question to help4. How are your two comparison
groups different, as they are currently stated the groups seem very much the same, could
you state, standard care instead of pre and post intervention assessments? 5. One month is
the longest time you can use for a prospective projectPlease note the following regarding
the instructors gradingIMPORTANT INFORMATION ABOUT MY GRADING STYLEAs you
prepare for written papers and manuscripts I’d like to give you some details about my
grading style. I provide significant feedback on your papers, this is because I believe you
should be working towards improving your writing so that at the end of this program you
are able to successfully write your DPI project. In order to write well, you need feedback
and you need to review that feedback and make progress on the next written work. To that
end I always grade accordingly. This means that if I provide feedback one an item (for
example APA format of your reference page) I expect that this will be improved on the next
written submission. Otherwise I will deduct additional points. In addition, some other
criteria to get down pat now. References should always1. Be current, no older than 5 years
that means 5 years from your proposed graduation date (2014-2019). Otherwise you will
have to redo everything in DNP 955.2. Be primary sources. You can no longer cite Young
declared literary war in 1956 (as cited by Brown 2006). You must cite Young 1956. That
means go find that paper and read it and make sure that you agree with what Brown said.
What if you don’t agree due to some very valid points? Then the literary war is not what
occurred, but instead you have concerns regarding point ____, ____, and ____.3. You may no
longer cite textbooks, they are 1) secondary sources and 2) not current enough, and please
use peer reviewed manuscripts.One more item that is not a reference. You may not use
direct quotes any longer. There is no need. This may be difficult at first, but you are moving
towards a different type of writing. This is manuscript writing (scientific writing). Scientific
writing is terse, clear, and concise. No frilly words. In order to avoid the use of direct quotes
you will synthesize the literature. There is a great resource for synthesizing the literature
under Resources – Add-ons. These are also some other great writing resources
there.Details: In the prospectus, proposal, and scholarly project there are 10 strategic points
that need to be clear, simple, correct, and aligned to ensure the research is doable, valuable,
and credible. The 10 strategic points emerge from researching literature on a topic that is
based on or aligned with the learner’s personal passion, future career purpose, and degree
area. These 10 points provide a guiding vision for DPI Project. In this assignment, you will
continue the work begun in DNP-815, working on your draft of a document addressing the
10 key strategic points that define your intended research focus and approach.General
Requirements:Use the following information to ensure successful completion of the
assignment:Locate the “The 10 Strategic Points for the Prospectus, Proposal, and
Direct Practice Improvement Project” that you completed in DNP-
815.Doctoral learners are required to use APA style for their writing assignments.
The APA Style Guide is located in the Student Success Center. An abstract is not
required.This assignment uses a rubric. Please Review the rubric prior to the beginning
to become familiar with the expectations for successful completion.You are required to

3. submit this assignment to Turnitin. Please refer to the directions in the Student Success
Center.Directions:Use the “The 10 Strategic Points for the Prospectus, Proposal, and Direct
Practice Improvement Project” resource to draft statements for each of the 10 points for
your intended research study.You worked on this last in DNP 815. Pick up from where you
left off (if you transferred in and did not complete this, you will have to begin fresh). Please
include a copy of your last instructor feedback when you submit this assignment. You can
either copy and paste the instructor feedback into your current paper (as an appendix and
clearly marked); or upload two separate papers. I expect significant improvement from
your last submission.Please review the 10 Strategic Points document for additional
instructions and an example. Add references to this document, I suggest 5-10 at this point.
You need to realize that your literature review chapter will need at least 50+ articles by the
time you get to DNP 955, so work on expanding your literature search each week, to include
more and more to this paper as you move through each course. If you cannot locate 50+
articles you can ask your faculty for assistance or chose a different topic.For the
methodology and design sections. Methodology should cover the broad methods you plan to
use (qualitative, quantitative, or mixed methods). The design portion will then go into more
detail and discuss the design (i.e. correlational, cross-sectional, pre/posttest, etc.). Describe
each and explain why your chosen methodology and design are appropriate to your topic
and project questions. You may NOT use qualitative, GCU leadership does not support a
qualitative methodology.Intervention. You must have an intervention that you implement.
Since you cannot evaluate a project that has already been implemented, please write up a
description of your intervention and what your role will be in implementing this
intervention. This is not a section listed on your 10 Strategic Points document as of yet, so
add it after the methodology and design sections. Describe step by step what the
intervention consists of, how it is evidence based, how you will implement, and your role in
implementation.Data collection should go step by step (extremely over-detailed) on how
you will collect the data. Tell me about all instruments, surveys, and/or questions you will
ask of participants. One MUST be a valid and reliable tool.Data Analysis. Tell me the specific
statistics you will use. Start with descriptive statistics, which ones will you use, why (cite
current primary sources). Then tell me how you will compare your data (which statistic),
what your p value will be before you start your data collection.Apply Rubrics
