Project Description
THIS IS THE MOST IMPORTANT THING
Write this the same, putting it like this,
This project will be completed through a literature review. This
will be carried out through Google Scholar, CINHAL, Ana G.
Mendez Virtual Libraries, WorldCat, PubMed, Internet
database. The research will be peer reviewed. A minimum 30
articles of no more than 5 years will be reviewed. I will use
some keywords for my search like: Probiotic, Ventilator-
Associated Pneumonia, ICU, conventional methods.
The results obtained from the study will contribute to determine
if the probiotic use in prevention of ventilator associated
pneumonia is more effective than the conventional method, with
a more cost-effective result.

3. All information collected in this review will be kept in a locked
dresser in the principal investigator's office for a period of 5
years. Both, the principal investigator and the mentor will have
access to this material. After this time (5 years), the data will be
eliminated with a paper shredder and discarded.
Project Evaluation Results
Summarize tables with all citation will be presented in appendix
A&B; appendix A will be used for the summary of primary
research evidence, and appendix B will be used for the summary
of the systematic reviews.
Appendix A will include the citation, question or hypothesis,
and theoretical foundation, research designated and sample size,
key findings, recommendations or implications, and level of
evidence, of each article. Appendix B will include citations,
question, search strategy, inclusion/exclusion criteria, data,
extraction and analysis, key finding, recommendation /
implications and level of evidence of each article.
Discussion and Implications for Nursing and Healthcare
Conclusions of Articles 10 – 20 paragraphs of the conclusions
of the Articles.
Plans for Dissemination
Everything that is in blue, cannot miss.
to achieve the purpose of making our research known, different
types of media will be used. In the same way interpersonal
communication will be of vital importance to disseminate this
project. Also, other forms of dissemination will be used as: a
power point and poster will be presented at the Ana G Mendez
University. The power point will have a duration of no more
than 30 minutes and will be presented to the teacher and
classmates. While the poster, which will include a summary of
this research, will be shown in the Ana G Mendez University

4. room of the South Florida campus. In the library of this
university we will leave a copy of this literature review to be
used by those who are interested in the subject.
Summary and Conclusion
The conclusion should start with a statement regarding the
intent of the paper and your achievement toward that intention.
Also, it should briefly say what was included in the paper.
Remember that the introduction is a preview, and this section
should contain a summary.
References
Remember that this is a reference list rather than a
bibliography. A bibliography is everything you read to prepare
the paper but a reference list is only what you cited. If there is
not a citation for a reference, it should not be here. PLEASE
make sure that your references here and your citations
throughout the paper are in APA format. Take the time to make
sure that they are correct. We have already formatted the paper
for you with this template.

requirements for the
Master of Nursing Practice degree.
Running head: 1

Note that there is no heading that says Introduction. The
paragraph or two that follows the title on the first page of your
text is assumed to be your introduction. Your introduction
follows the title of your paper (note that the title is not bolded).
You should start your introduction with a powerful statement or
two to stimulate interest. You should identify the purpose of
your paper and provide a preview of what the paper will
include. Remember that formal papers are in third person, so no
I, me, we except in specified areas.
Significance of the Practice Problem
Start this section with identification of the practice problem.
This section should also answer the question “why is this

10. important?” You should address the significance to the
patient/client (e.g., pain, suffering, quality of life, impact on
income potential, etc.), the family, healthcare system (e.g.,
impact on cost or delivery systems), and society (e.g., cost of
care, need for healthcare policy). Discuss the incidence and/or
prevalence and include the financial impact if at all possible.
You might discuss the impact on length of stay, readmission,
home health care requirements, disability and/or mortality.
Also, you should address any quality, safety, legal, and ethical
implications. This discussion must be substantiated by citations
from professional literature.
PICOT Question
This section should include your PICOT question but also
should provide thorough descriptions of your population,
intervention, comparison intervention, outcome, and timing (if
appropriate to your question). This section contains, in essence,
your operational definitions of the variables in the question. If
you use definitions from the literature, be sure to cite them.
Theoretical Framework
This section should include the theoretical framework that
supports your MSN Project. Describe the theory or model that
served as the foundation for your project. This may be a nursing
theory or a theory from another discipline if pertinent and
applicable.
Synthesis of the Literature
Synthesize at least 30 primary research studies and/or
systematic reviews; do not include summary articles. This
section is all about the scientific evidence rather than someone
else’s opinion of the evidence. Do not use secondary sources;
you need to get the article, read it, and make your own decision
about quality and applicability to your question even if you did
find out about the study in a review of the literature. The
studies that you cite in this section must relate directly to your
PICOT question. This is a synthesis rather than a study-by-
study review. Address the similarities, differences, and
controversies in the body of evidence.

11. Practice Recommendations
So. . . using available evidence, what is the answer to your
question? This section is for you to summarize the strength of
the body of evidence (quality, quantity, and consistency), make
a summary statement, and based on your conclusions drawn
from the review, give a recommendation for practice change
based on scientific evidence. This would logically be the
intervention of your PICOT question. You might want to design
an algorithm and include it in as a figure. Perhaps you found
substantiation for usual practice, and you recommend
reinforcement and education regarding this best practice.
Project Description
Describe the setting for your project. Include discussion of
barriers and facilitators. Include resources that were required
for your project. Discuss your role in the project and the
leadership qualities and skills that were utilized for successful
completion of the project.
This section may be in first person.
Project Evaluation Results
This section must include how you evaluated the planned
change project. Remember that you must have evaluated the
outcome(s) identified in your PICOT question
Discuss the formative and summative criteria used for
evaluation and time points for the evaluation. Describe and
include any tool(s) that you used in your project evaluation as
Appendices and discuss the reliability and validity of the
review. Identify the type of data (i.e., nominal, ordinal, interval,
or continuous) produced by the evaluation review. Discuss how
you controlled extraneous variables.
Discuss the statistical analysis of your evaluation data. Use
tables and figures to display the results of your data analysis.
Tables and Figures should follow the References. You need to
number tables consecutively and figure consecutively as they
are mentioned in the text (i.e., see Figure 1). While appendices
are lettered, tables and figures are numbered with Arabic
numbers.

12. Discussion and Implications for Nursing and Healthcare
Discuss the conclusions you can make from the project
evaluation results: review and answer your PICOT question.
Examine, interpret, and qualify the results. Discuss internal
validity and limitations of the project evaluation. Take into
account sources of potential bias and other threats to internal
validity, the imprecision of measures, and other limitations and
weaknesses of the evaluation (adapted from APA, 2010, p. 35).
Describe the implications of your project and the project
evaluation on nursing practice and healthcare. Do not overstate
the significance. Identify the impact on the appropriate
microsystem. Include any recommendations you have as a result
of this project and project evaluation. Also, include what you
might recommend with replication of this project and project
evaluation and your potential next steps for this practice
problem.
Plans for Dissemination
This section should include your plan for sharing the results of
your project within the institution and within the professional
community. Discuss who you invited to the presentation of
results at the institution and how you presented the information.
Describe the response of stakeholders to your presentation and
about the potential for sustainability. Also, discuss your plans
for presentation at regional or national meetings and/or
publication. If publication is planned, discuss what journal you
will submit your manuscript to and why.
This section may be in first person.
Summary and Conclusion
The conclusion should start with a statement regarding the
intent of the paper and your achievement toward that intention.
Also, it should briefly say what was included in the paper.
Remember that the introduction is a preview, and this section
should contain a summary.
References
Remember that this is a reference list rather than a
bibliography. A bibliography is everything you read to prepare

13. the paper but a reference list is only what you cited. If there is
not a citation for a reference, it should not be here. PLEASE
make sure that your references here and your citations
throughout the paper are in APA format. Take the time to make
sure that they are correct. We have already formatted the paper
for you with this template.
