Assessment 2 Instructions: Determining the Credibility of Evidence and Resources
Scenario
As the context for the quality, safety, or selected diagnosis/health condition for investigating and completing this evaluation, you may select one of the following options:
the precise medical condition or diagnosis that was the subject of your earlier evaluation.
Vila Health: Determining the Credibility of Evidence simulation.
a sentinel occurrence that happened during a particular practice.
Instructions
The goal of this investigation is to have a better understanding of what makes journal papers and websites credible. Incorporating evidence-based research into clinical practice is an increasingly important role for nurses with baccalaureate preparation. Evidence-based models and evidence-based templates are becoming more important as quality improvement (QI) strategies to lower safety hazards continue to be stressed.
This type of systematic approach to incorporating evidence-based findings allows nurses to make clinical and operational decisions based upon the best available evidence. When the most up-to-date evidence-based findings are utilized, patient-centered care improves outcomes and enhances the patient experience.
Create a 2-4 page academic paper in which you describe a quality or safety problem, a selected diagnosis, and then you locate and assess trustworthy evidence that might be the foundation for using EBP to address the problem.
Introduction
Utilizing the results of evidence-based research aims to improve patient care’s quality and safety while ensuring the best possible results. The phrase “why alter anything since we’ve always done it this way” is frequently heard from nurses. However, in today’s professional climate, this is no longer acceptable. The nursing profession has developed, and it is now expected that the care given by a professional nurse would be supported by science. As the nursing field continues to develop and engage in health care transformation, baccalaureate-prepared nurses are expanding taking on leadership roles that include incorporating EBPs.
