the opportunity
This assignment provides the opportunity for the student to continue development of a MSN EBP scholarly project that started with the identification of a nursing concern and PICOT/PICo question from Week 2. The focus of this assignment is to discuss the research-based literature support for the selected concern, identify an appropriate research design, explain the sampling method, and discuss implementation through the use of a change model.
Course Outcome:
This assignment enables the student to meet the following course outcome:
CO 1. Integrate evidence-based practice and research to support advancement of holistic nursing care in diverse healthcare settings. (PO 1)
CO 2. Integrate knowledge related to evidence-based practice and person-centered care to improve healthcare. (PO 2, 5)
CO #4. Develop knowledge related to research and evidence-based practice as a basis for designing and critiquing research studies. (PO 1, 2, 3, 5)
CO #5. Analyze research findings and evidence-based practice to advance holistic nursing care initiatives that promote positive healthcare outcomes. (PO 1, 2, 5)
Due Date Sunday 11:59 PM MT at the end of Week Five
Students are given the opportunity to request an extension on assignments for emergent situations. Supporting documentation must be submitted to the assigned faculty. If the student’s request is not approved, the assignment is graded and a late penalty is applied as follows:
- Monday = 10% of total possible point reduction
- Tuesday = 20% of total possible point reduction
- Wednesday = 30% of total possible point reduction
If the student’s request is approved, the student will be informed of the revised due date. Should the student fail to meet the revised due date, the assignment is graded and a late penalty is applied as follows:
- Monday = 10% of total possible point reduction
- Tuesday = 20% of total possible point reduction
- Wednesday = 30% of total possible point reduction
Total Points Possible: 250 points
