Solved by a verified expert :CapstoneProject Milestone 1:
Practice Issue and EvidenceSummary Guidelines
Purpose
Clear identification of the practice issue is the first step
in evidence-based nursing. Next, the evidence is reviewed to determine the best
intervention to change practice outcomes. Completion of the milestone will
include identification of the practice issue using the ACE Star model of
Knowledge Transformation and a review of the evidence that will support an
intervention that will change outcomes. The evidence summary will be conducted
through the ‘breaking down’ of a systematic review on your topic for your
change project.
Course Outcomes
This assignment enables the student to meet the following
course outcomes:
· CO4: Develops
and outlines a scientific, systematic decision-making process to integrate
critical thinking with clinical judgment to assure safe and effective outcomes.
(PO #4)
· CO8: Selects
evidence for best practice when planning professional nursing care for
individuals, families, aggregates, and communities. (PO #8)
Due Dates
Milestone #1 consists of the completion of two worksheets
(Practice Issue Worksheet) and (Evidence Summary Worksheet). Submit the
completed worksheets to the Dropbox by Sunday, 11:59 p.m. MT at the end of Week
3.
Points
Milestone #1 is worth 175 points (75 points for the Practice
Issue and 100 points for the Evidence Summary).
Practice Issue Worksheet Directions
Practice Issue Worksheet:
Read the guidelines including the grading rubrics
below. You will use this worksheet to
document the practice issue presented and approved by your instructor in the
Week 2 Discussions.
i. Your practice issue will be
the same for all three Milestone assignments in this course.
Please type your answers directly into the worksheet.
Capstone Project Milestone 2:
Design for Change Proposal Guidelines
Purpose
You are to create a Design for Change proposal inclusive of
your Practice Issue and Evidence Summary worksheet 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 assignment 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
NR451_Milestone2_Design_Proposal_ template in Course Resources to create your
paper. You will include the information from Milestone 1, your practice issue
and evidence summary worksheets, as you compose this proposal. Your plan is to
convince your management team of a practice problem you have uncovered that is
significant enough to change current practice.
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 Model
Overview: Overview of ACE Star model; define the scope of the EBP; identify the
stakeholders, and determine the responsibility of the team members.
c. Evidence:
Conduct internal and external searches of evidence; integrate and summarize the
evidence summary worksheet from Milestone 1; develop a recommendation for
change.
d. Translation:
develop a hypothetical action plan; include measurable outcomes, reporting to
stakeholders; identify next steps and disseminate the findings.
e. Conclusion:
Provide a clear and concise summary, inclusive of the problem issue, the five
points of the ACE Star change model; and ways to maintain the change plan.
5. Citations and Referencesmust 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.
