NUR-590 Evidence-Based Practice Project Proposal – Assignment Overview

My research-based project idea is to create a community education program focused on stroke risk factor prevention. It is critical to collect evidence and assess how it might improve patient outcomes, health policies, services, and programs in order to promote accountability for each new program (DeNisco & Barker, 2016). When obtaining proof for any endeavor, it is critical to understand the various research modalities and degrees of evidence (Glasofer &Townsend, 2019). The strength of the evidence is determined by three critical factors: quality, quantity, and consistency (Glasofer &Townsend, 2019). When selecting research for any issue, it should be a high-quality study with reliable findings that are not biased or occur by chance (art). The number of studies on a given topic, their size and population, and the efficacy of treatments can all be used to assess quantity (Glasofer &Townsend, 2019). Consistency occurs when similar findings are discovered in a number of different studies (Glasofer &Townsend, 2019).

Normally, while choosing research for a topic, I would choose subjects that are level one in the hierarchy of evidence.

DQ Review the concepts for the evidence-based practice project you mentioned in Topic 5 DQ 1.

RCT, a systematic review of an RCT, and a metanalysis of an RCT are these (Glasofer &Townsend, 2019). I would probably think about combining quantitative and qualitative research for this topic. Understanding how behavior affects changing health behaviors is crucial when working with prevention strategies, which is why it’s crucial to study both qualitative and quantitative studies.

Topic 1: NUR-550 Literature Review – Resubmission

Learners submit their Benchmark – Literature Review from NUR-550 for review.
Learners will use the articles/research from this assignment to demonstrate support for the final written paper in Topic 8 detailing the evidence-based practice project proposal.

Literature Review

Medication administration errors have adverse effects on the safety and quality of patient care as well as outcomes. Patients are increasingly susceptible to the effects of medication errors due to complex organizational issues such as high workload and staff shortages. Medication administration errors result in increased cost of care, unintended harm and prolonged hospital stay. The errors can be prevented or reduced by adopting health information technologies such as integrated electronic health records and barcode administration systems. Therefore, this section reviews methods used in the project and the relevant sources of literature.

Also Read: Select two different nursing theories and describe how they relate to patient care NUR 513

PICOT Statement

The use of health information technology can such as barcode scanning and electronic dispensation, reduce and prevent the prevalence of medication administration errors (MAEs) among critically ill patients. Their use in healthcare should be considered for patient safety.

PICOT Question for the Evidence-Based Practice Project

Among the critically ill patients (P), does the integration of health information technology (I) compared to conventional medication administration process (C), lead to a reduction in medication administration errors (O) within a period of one year (T)?

Search Methods of the Literature

Several strategies were employed in order to locate articles that support the EBP project. They included using the institutional library to gain access to journal databases and peer-reviewed articles that had been published. Among the databases used were Embase, CINAHL, and PubMed. Among the search terms were medication administration errors, health information systems for medication administration errors, medication administration error prevention, health information technology integration, and the effectiveness of integrated health information technology in medication administration errors.

Topic 2: Organizational Culture and Readiness

Learners assess the culture and readiness of the organization in which the evidence-based practice

project is proposed.

The instructor will provide feedback to the learner for changes or revision needed regarding the assignment. These should be incorporated in the final written paper in Topic 8.

Topic 3: Benchmark – Framework or Model for Change

Learners present the model or framework that will be used to guide the process for the evidence-based practice proposal.
The instructor will provide feedback to the learner for changes or revision needed regarding the assignment. These should be incorporated in the final written paper in Topic 8.

Topic 5: Implementation Plan

Learners develop the implementation plan for the evidence-based practice project proposal. In addition to the written paper, learners attach all necessary forms, tables, graphs or illustrations in an appendix at the end of the paper.
The instructor will provide feedback to the learner for changes or revision needed regarding the written assignment and the documents attached in the appendix of the paper. These should be revised accordingly and incorporated in the final written paper or attached to the appendix of the paper in Topic 8.

Topic 6: Evaluation Plan

Learners create an evaluation plan for the evidence-based practice proposal.
The instructor will provide feedback to the learner for changes or revision needed regarding the assignment. These should be incorporated in the final written paper in Topic 8.

Topic 7: Evidence-Based Practice Project Proposal Presentation

Learners synthesize the assignments from NUR-550 and NUR-590 into a recorded PowerPoint presentation that can be used to disseminate the evidence-based practice project proposal in clear and professional manner to a local association or clinical site/practice to inform important stakeholders about the evidence-based practice project proposal.

Topic 8: Benchmark – Evidence-Based Practice Project Proposal Final Paper

Learners synthesize the content from all evidence-based practice project assignments completed in NUR-550 and NUR-590 into a final written paper.
All necessary revisions and corrections suggested by the instructors should be competed and evident in the paper.
In each preceding course, learners have been directed to the Student Success Center for assistance with APA style, and have submitted the “APA Writing Checklist” with written papers to illustrate adherence to APA style. This final paper should demonstrate a clear ability to communicate a written project in a professional and accurately formatted paper using APA style.

Will educating nurses to perform continuous compression during defibrillation with no shock pauses for patients in cardiac arrest compared to no education increase the probability of return of spontaneous. The latest guidelines emphasize that chest compressions should be performed with adequate rate and depth, complete recoils, and minimized pauses (Luo et al., 2021). Pauses during resuscitation have can extended pass the recommended guidelines of 5-10 seconds during defibrillation due to Charging defibrillators prior to analyzing heart rhythms may decrease the no-flow time during rhythm check pauses while resuscitating in cardiac arrest (Kemper et al., 2019). Administering high-quality chest compressions has been considered a key determinant for successful resuscitations (Luo et al., 2021). Devices such as the LUCUS device are capable of providing mechanical chest compressions allowing for continuous compressions to be in progress during shock administration. Educating nurses on the importance of continuous uninterrupted compressions may help eliminate or shorten prolonged pauses during resuscitation efforts. In addition, educating nurses about technologies available to help decrease pauses during resuscitation, ultimately improving patient outcomes by increasing perfusion.

This topic is important to continue research being that the American Heart Association has recently emphasized compressions as the first response action for patients in cardiac arrest. Compressions allow for perfusion, giving the patient the best chance for survival. As an Emergency Department nurse it is virtual, the pauses are kept to a minimum and human error is eliminated to the best of our ability. Human errors such as equipment malfunctions, equipment use, and overall knowledge that defibrillation can occur simultaneously during compressions are all factors that can affect a patient’s outcome.
