Dissemination of Evidence-based practice (EBP) is a
targeted sharing of information with stakeholders involved in a
particular policy or practice change. Several different strategies
can be utilized to share this information. One such strategy in
an active dissemination strategy is an organizational-wide
presentation (Fineout-Overholt, Gallagher-Ford, & Mazurek-

As healthcare grows and changes, so must the way we
acquire and grow our knowledge and the way it gets delivered.

3. More commonly we focus on evidence-based practice (EBP) to
gain the most up to date scientific data and information.
Evidence-based practice is the integration of best research
evidence with clinical expertise (including internal evidence)
and patient values to facilitate clinical decision making (Melnyk
& Fineout-Overholt, 2018). We deliver this information through
a process known as dissemination. Dissemination is the process
of distributing or circulating information widely (Melnyk &
Fineout-Overholt, 2018). There are many different methods one
can use to disseminate EBP to an organization or mass of
people. EBP is a vital part of healthcare. EBP is an essential
component of professional nursing, a crucial competency for
healthcare providers, and a basic force in Magnet hospitals and
results in better patient outcomes and higher levels of nursing
autonomy (Newhouse, Dearholt, Poe, Pugh & White, 2007).
Personally, I would start on a small level to disseminate
EBP. For example, start at an email process to a department
head i.e., manager or clinical coordinator. Once having the
emailing the individual I would follow up in person. Then
recruiting an individual of this status would help aid the process
to make the EBP move easier and better. This would help in
taking the EBP move to an organizational level when have
backing from stakeholders or people in positions to help make
the transition and EBP push smoother. I also would utilize an
educational presentation in conjunction with reaching out to the
department head. Once the EBP and data is presented to these
individuals it would also help to make the transition to an
organizational level easier too. These two methods together can
work cohesively and be able to use multiple methods at once to
push the EBP and better enhance patient care.
With any process barrier can be encountered. One
barrier might be leadership lack of buy in per say or support
from management staff. This is a big factor to balance. If we are
unable to convince management, the EBP will most likely not

4. happen. Secondly, is the environment and culture of
the organization itself (Melnyk, 2012). So, these are factors that
are essential to keep in mind with any EBP movement. Thinking
about the plan and adapting it to the culture of the organization
is aspect to keep in mind. You must make the plan fit the
organization. Also, another way is to have all the factors and
data needed to support the EBP plan you are trying to push. Be
prepared to answer questions and have support to make valid
proof. Next, having effective communication skills and the
ability to present information to keep the attention of the
intended audience. The presenter must be versed and able to
keep the information presented in a timely and purposeful
manner. Practicing and preparing the information will help aid
in making it a seamless transition.
Personally, I would not use video presentation or
having someone else present for me. I feel this is less personal
and would make me question why someone wants to do
something but has someone else do the work for them. Now, I
am no public speaker but, I would practice and do the work
myself. This shows the personal aspect and personal passion
behind the process. Ultimately, have support and doing the work
shows passion and purpose to anything. Getting the information
to the right hands can help to better care for our patients. Using
EBP is essential and it is up to us as EBP practitioners to
convey the information and use our abilities to help provide the
best care for our patients and better our profession.

COM520 Written Assignment 3

6. Assignment: Identifying Types of Malware Infection
Assignment Requirements
You have learned that any computer or device can be vulnerable
to malware. Vulnerabilities differ
depending on how the computer or device is used and what
software is installed. For each of the
scenarios listed on the worksheet, select the most likely type of
malware that is present on the computer
or device and provide a rationale for doing so.
Select from:
a. Virus
b. Worm
c. Trojan horse
d. Rootkit
e. Spyware
Suspected malware scenarios:
_________ 1. You notice that your computer is getting slower
each day. You have terminated
unneeded programs, disabled unneeded services, and have
recently defragmented
the disks. Your computer has plenty of memory but it still
seems slow. Since it only
started getting slow within the last two weeks—you suspect
malware. You have

7. carefully examined each of the programs running but there are
no unusual programs.
However, you do notice that there is a substantial disk activity,
even when no
programs are running that should be using the disk. What kind
of malware do you
think is present in your computer?
_________ 2. You downloaded a new program to display the
current weather on your desktop.
Since you installed the weather application, you noticed a lot of
network activity, and
your computer is getting slow. When you terminate the weather
application your
computer speeds up. What kind of malware do you think is
present in your computer?
_________ 3. Within a week after ordering a new widescreen
television (TV) from an online retailer,
you start getting many e-mail messages advertising products
related to TVs. What
kind of malware do you think is present in your computer?
_________ 4. You downloaded a new game to your personal
mobile device that runs Windows
Mobile. You notice on your mobile service bill that several
charges appeared for calls
to premium numbers that started three days after loading the
new game. What kind
of malware do you think is present in your computer?
