This document provides instructions for an evidence-based practice presentation assignment. Students are asked to:
1) Identify an advanced nursing practice issue or problem of concern.
2) Develop a research question using the PICOT format to define the population, intervention, comparison, outcomes, and timeframe.
3) Include a brief literature review of at least three scholarly sources on best practices relating to the topic.
4) Propose a Plan-Do-Study-Act process for investigating the issue.
5) Discuss any implications for nursing practice.
The presentation will be evaluated based on appropriate topic identification, well-built research question, literature review details, study design description, and discussion of significance to nursing
1. Assignment: Practice problem of concern 4
Assignment: Practice problem of concern 4Assignment: Practice problem of concern 4(Or it
can be a different topic, but needs to be approved first) During this lesson, you will use the
PICOT questioning format/formula to develop an answerable research question. All
elements are listed below: · P: Population/disease (age, gender, ethnicity, disorder)· I:
Intervention or variable of interest (exposure to a disease, risk behavior, prognostic factor)·
C: Comparison (a placebo or “business as usual” such as no disease, absence of risk factor, or
prognostic factor B)· O: Outcome (risk of disease, accuracy of a diagnosis, rate of occurrence
of adverse outcome)· T: Time (the time it takes to demonstrate an outcome; e.g., the time it
takes for the intervention to achieve an outcome or how long participants are
observed)prepare an evidence-based practice (EBP) presentation on a topic of your choice
that is relevant to advanced nursing practice education, leadership, quality improvement, or
change Your presentation should include:1. Identification of an advanced practice nursing
issue or practice problem of concern2. Design a research question using the PICOT format3.
A brief literature review and findings related to best practices with at least three scholarly
resources cited in APA (6th ed.) format4. Plan, Do, Study, Act Process that could be used5.
Any implications that the investigation might have for nursing practice Rubric: The
presentation includes an appropriate topic identification related to an advanced practice
nursing issue or practice problem of concern. The topic is clearly stated in the introduction,
developed and explained well through the literature review, and there is an appropriate
conclusion statement. PICOT Question DesignPopulation is fully defined and present in the
research question. Includes specific interventions, identifies comparisons, and presents
appropriate outcomes in a timely manner for the question. Overall, a well-built question
using the PICOT method. Literature ReviewIncludes a brief overview of the literature in the
presentation and includes relevant details. Plan/Do/Study/Act ProcessPresentation
includes a description of the study, study design, rationale, and inclusion of sampling
information that the student is using. Implications to NursingThe significance and
applicability to nursing is included and well presented.ORDER NOW FOR CUSTOMIZED,
PLAGIARISM-FREE PAPERSYou must proofread your paper. But do not strictly rely on your
computer’s spell-checker and grammar-checker; failure to do so indicates a lack of effort on
your part and you can expect your grade to suffer accordingly. Papers with numerous
misspelled words and grammatical mistakes will be penalized. Read over your paper – in
silence and then aloud – before handing it in and make corrections as necessary. Often it is
advantageous to have a friend proofread your paper for obvious errors. Handwritten
2. corrections are preferable to uncorrected mistakes.Use a standard 10 to 12 point (10 to 12
characters per inch) typeface. Smaller or compressed type and papers with small margins
or single-spacing are hard to read. It is better to let your essay run over the recommended
number of pages than to try to compress it into fewer pages.Likewise, large type, large
margins, large indentations, triple-spacing, increased leading (space between lines),
increased kerning (space between letters), and any other such attempts at “padding” to
increase the length of a paper are unacceptable, wasteful of trees, and will not fool your
professor.The paper must be neatly formatted, double-spaced with a one-inch margin on
the top, bottom, and sides of each page. When submitting hard copy, be sure to use white
paper and print out using dark ink. If it is hard to read your essay, it will also be hard to
follow your argument.
