Devry NR451 All Weeks Discussion and Milestone Entire Course Devry NR451 Week 1 Discussion DQ 1 & DQ 2 DQ 1 Assessing Need for Change (graded) Think about a problem in your clinical practice. Are the satisfaction scores in your unit low? Does your unit have a higher than average infection rate? What is a problem you see in your clinical practice? What are some of the possible solutions? Why is it important to evaluate the need for change and not just stick with the “it’s the way we always have done it” mentality?
DQ 1 Nurse’s Role in EBP (graded) Evidence based practice dates back to Florence Nightingale, yet it took a long time for nurses to conduct nursing research. Why is it important for nurses to have their own body of knowledge? Give a specific example of how bedside nurses contribute to nursing research?
Devry NR451 Week 2 Discussion DQ 1 & DQ 2
DQ 1 Forming the PICO Question (graded) Form a PICO question that you will use for your change project. Include each element of the PICO question. How did you develop this question? Why is it important to your clinical practice?
DQ 2 Appraisal of Evidence (graded) When reviewing a journal article, how do you best determine its credibility and reliability? Why is it important to determine the strength of evidence and how does that affect your implementation of the results into clinical practice?
Devry NR451 Week 3 Discussion DQ 1 & DQ 2
DQ 1 Feasibility of your Capstone Project (graded) Now that you have identified your capstone project. What is the cost involved to implement your project? Remember that cost isn’t always just money but also time and resources (both tangible and intangible). Will the initial cost pay off in the long run with improved outcomes? DQ 2 Communication Errors (graded) Have you ever played the telephone game when you were younger? Communication can take on a life of its own and the content can often be distorted over time. Give an example in your clinical practice where miscommunication was the root cause of an error. How could this communication error have been prevented?
Devry NR451 Week 4 Discussion DQ 1 & DQ 2 DQ 1 Patterns of Nursing Care (graded) Your lesson this week discussed patterns of nursing care delivery. In your opinion, what is the most effective nursing care delivery model and why? What are the advantages and disadvantages of your chosen nursing care delivery model? Give specific clinical examples. DQ 2 Discussion of Articles (graded) Discuss the two articles that you read from the Patient Safety and Quality: An Evidence-based Handbook for Nurses website. Give the title and the URL address for each article. How is the information in each article applicable to your practice?
Devry NR451 Week 5 Discussion DQ 1 & DQ 2
DQ 1 An Ethical Dilemma (graded)
Nurses face many ethical issues on a daily basis. Consider the following scenario: Your unit has team nursing. As luck would have it, you and your best friend, Jill, are paired as a team this shift. Jill is a new nurse so you feel this is a great opportunity to take her under your wing a bit and show her the ropes. It is a busy shift and you administered Mr. Smith his insulin dose based on the sliding scale before lunch. You chart your medication administration and continuing caring for your patients. An hour later, Jill comes to you terrified because she forgot to chart the insulin she gave Mr. Smith and realized that you also gave the medication. She rushed to take his blood sugar and it was 115. Mr. Smith felt fine and was eating a candy bar his family had snuck in for him. No harm done, in fact he probably needed the extra insulin to compensate for the candy bar he wasn’t supposed to have, Jill explained. Jill begs you not to report this since she is still on probation. She says that she has learned her lesson and since nothing bad happened, why does anyone need to know? What would you do in this situation? Apply ethical principles to explain the rationale for your decision making process. DQ 2 Core Competencies for Nurses (graded Explore the website for the Quality and Safety Education for Nurses (QSEN) initiative athttp://www.qsen.org. How can these competencies for nurses be implemented into the workplace or professional nursing setting if you are not currently working?
Devry NR451 Week 6 Discussion DQ 1 & DQ 2 DQ 1 Implementing Change Despite Resistance (graded) Change can be difficult to implement. Now that you are almost finished with your change project, if you were to implement your project in your clinical practice, what type of resistance do you expect from staff? List at least three ways that you can lessen the resistance you may encounter to help ensure the success of your project.
DQ 2 Workplace Safety (graded) Select an American Nurses Association (ANA) publication on workplace safety from the ANA. Search the American Nurses Association (ANA) website for workplace safety (http://www.nursingworld.org/MainMenuCategories/WorkplaceSafety/Healthy-Work-Environmentand select a publication on workplace safety. Review the document (publication), include the URL, and discuss implications for you and your work setting.
Devry NR451 Week 7 Discussion DQ 1 & DQ 2 DQ 1 Healthcare Policy (graded) Describe a recent health care policy and discuss it’s implication to your personal clinical practice or health care as a whole. Why is it important for nurses to be aware of health care policy?
DQ 2 Healthcare Economics (graded) Health care costs are on the rise. What is an example of wasted health care dollars in your clinical practice and how do you propose improving the utilization of these dollars?

You are to create a Design for Change proposal inclusive of your PICO and evidence appraisal information from your Capstone Project Milestone #1. Your plan is to convince your management team of a nursing problem you have uncovered and you feel is significant enough to change the way something is currently practiced. In the event you are not currently working as a nurse, please use a hypothetical clinical situation you experienced in nursing school, or nursing education issue you identified in your nursing program. COURSE OUTCOMES This assignment enables the student to meet the following course outcomes. CO1: Applies the theories and principles of nursing and related disciplines to individuals, families, aggregates, and communities from entry to the healthcare system through long-term planning. (PO #1) CO2: Proposes leadership and collaboration strategies for use with consumers and other healthcare providers in managing care and/or delegating responsibilities for health promotion, illness prevention, health restoration and maintenance, and rehabilitative activities. (PO #2) DUE DATE Milestone #2 consists of the proposal for your Design for Change Capstone Project. Submit this Milestone to the Dropbox by the end of Week 4. POINTS Milestone #2 is worth 225 points. DIRECTIONS 1. Create a proposal for your Design for Change Capstone Project. Open the template in Doc Sharing. You will include the information from Milestone #1, your PICO question, and evidence appraisal, as you compose this proposal. Your plan is to convince your management team of a nursing problem you have uncovered and you feel is significant enough to change the way something is currently practiced. 2. The format for this proposal will be a paper following the Publication manual of APA 6th edition. 3. The paper is to be four- to six-pages excluding the Title page and Reference page. 4. As you organize your information and evidence, include the following topics. a. Introduction: Write an introduction but do not use “Introduction” as a heading in accordance with the rules put forth in the Publication manual of the American Psychological Association (2010, p. 63). Introduce the reader to the plan with evidence-based problem identification and solution. b. Change Plan: Write an overview using the John Hopkins Nursing EBP Model and Guidelines (2012) i. Practice Question ii. Evidence iii. Translation c. Summary 5. Citations and References must be included to support the information within each topic area. Refer to the APA manual, Chapter 7, for examples of proper reference format. In-text citations are to be noted for all information contained in your paper that is not your original idea or thought. Ask yourself, “How do I know this?” and then cite the source. Scholarly sources are expected, which means using peer-reviewed journals and credible websites. 6. Tables and Figures may be added as appropriate to the project. They should be embedded within the body of the paper (see your APA manual for how to format and cite). Creating tables and figures offers visual aids to the reader and enhances understanding of your literature review and design for change.

Title Your Name Chamberlain College of Nursing NR451 RN Capstone Course Term and Year Your title here This paragraph(s) is to introduce the paper. State the problem and potential solutions backed by evidence. Briefly, introduce the nursing focused plan. Remember this is a scholarly APA assignment so you cannot use first person. Change Model Overview In this first paragraph, provide an overview of the John Hopkins Nursing Evidence-Based Practice Process. Feel free to state why nurses should use this model as a guide to facilitate change. Under each of the second level headers listed below, you now link y .our identified topic to the John Hopkins EBP Process. Practice Question Step 1: Recruit Interprofessional Team You will be the leader of the team since this is your project. Who will you also include in your team? Make sure you choose relevant stakeholders. You should have no more than eight members. Do not list your team members by name but instead by position (pharmacists, charge nurse etc) Step 2: Develop and Refine the EBP Question Restate your question. Include the PICO elements but make sure you write them in paragraph form and not in list format. Step 3: Define the Scope of the EBP Why is this a problem? Give statistics and information to back the scope of the problem. How does this problem impact healthcare on a broader scale? Steps 4 and 5: Determine Responsibility of Team Members Why are the members chosen important to your project? What are their roles?
Evidence Steps 6 and 7: Conduct Internal/ External Search for Evidence and Appraisal of Evidence What type of evidence did you find? EBP guidelines? Quality improvement data? Position statements? Qualitative research? Quantitative research? Briefly discuss the strength of this research. This is not where you describe the results of your studies. This is done in the following steps. Steps 8 and 9: Summarize the Evidence Synthesize the information that you obtained from your sources. You will need at least four sources. Of these four sources, three must be from peer-reviewed articles. The other source can be from a reputable source. See page 44 of your text for examples of sources you can use. In this section, you need to synthesize the information from the articles. Feel free to cite multiple articles within one sentence. You should avoid one paragraph for each of the sources. Step 10: Develop Recommendations for Change Based on Evidence What is your recommendation based on the research? Ideally, you will have found enough support in your evidence to proceed with implementing your pilot program. Translation Steps 11, 12, and 13, 14: Action Plan You have not implemented your project yet, therefore, this section will be hypothetical. Develop your plan for implementation. What are the specific steps you will take to implement your pilot study? What is the timeline for your plan? Make sure you include a plan for evaluation of outcomes and method to report the results. Steps 16 and 16: Evaluating Outcomes and Reporting Outcomes What are the desired outcomes? How will they be measured? How will you report the results to the key stakeholders? Steps 17: Identify Next Steps How will you implement the plan on a larger scale? Will this be applicable to other units or the facility as a whole? What will you do to ensure that the implementation becomes permanent? Step 18: Disseminate Findings How will you communicate your findings internally (within your organization) and externally (to others outside of your organization)? Conclusion Provide a clear and concise summary. Review the key aspects of the problem as well as the change model. Be sure to include important aspects of the three levels of change for the John Hopkins EBP process.
