It serves as Assessment 2 and contributes 30% to the final grade. The due date is Week 8 of the Spring 2026 semester.<\/p>\n<h2 dir=\"auto\">Overview<\/h2>\n<p dir=\"auto\">In this project, you will develop an evidence-based practice (EBP) initiative aimed at improving patient outcomes in a clinical setting. Drawing from current research, you will identify a nursing practice issue, formulate a PICO question, and propose an implementation plan. This assignment builds your skills in integrating research into everyday nursing practice, preparing you for leadership roles in healthcare.<\/p>\n<h2 dir=\"auto\">Learning Outcomes<\/h2>\n<ul dir=\"auto\">\n<li>Apply the principles of evidence-based practice to address a clinical problem.<\/li>\n<li>Develop a PICO question based on a relevant nursing issue.<\/li>\n<li>Analyze scholarly sources to support proposed changes in nursing care.<\/li>\n<li>Create an implementation and evaluation plan for an EBP intervention.<\/li>\n<li>Demonstrate professional communication through a structured written report.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2 dir=\"auto\">Assignment Instructions<\/h2>\n<p dir=\"auto\">Select a clinical nursing problem from your experience or observations, such as reducing medication errors, improving patient handoff communication, or enhancing pain management protocols. Use the Iowa Model or a similar framework to guide your project. Your submission should be a 5-7page paper, formatted in APA 7th edition style, including a title page, abstract, and references.<\/p>\n<ol dir=\"auto\">\n<li>Introduce the clinical problem and its significance to nursing practice.<\/li>\n<li>Formulate a PICO(T) question (Population, Intervention, Comparison, Outcome, Timeframe).<\/li>\n<li>Conduct a literature search and summarize at least five peer-reviewed articles published within the last five years.<\/li>\n<li>Propose an evidence-based intervention, including steps for implementation.<\/li>\n<li>Outline an evaluation method, such as pre- and post-intervention surveys or outcome metrics.<\/li>\n<li>Discuss potential barriers, ethical considerations, and sustainability of the change.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<h2 dir=\"auto\">Submission Guidelines<\/h2>\n<p dir=\"auto\">Submit your paper via the course learning management system by the deadline. Late submissions will incur a 10% penalty per day. Ensure your work is original; plagiarism checks will be performed. Include a minimum of five scholarly references.<\/p>\n<h2 dir=\"auto\">Grading Rubric\/Marking Criteria<\/h2>\n<p dir=\"auto\">The rubric below outlines the criteria for evaluation. Total points: 100.<\/p>\n<ul dir=\"auto\">\n<li><strong>Introduction and Problem Identification (15 points):<\/strong> Clearly describes the issue and its relevance; supported by data or examples.<\/li>\n<li><strong>PICO Question (10 points):<\/strong> Well-formulated and directly tied to the problem.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Literature Review (25 points):<\/strong> Comprehensive summary of sources; demonstrates critical analysis.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Intervention Proposal (20 points):<\/strong> Detailed, feasible plan with evidence-based rationale.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Evaluation and Barriers (15 points):<\/strong> Includes measurable outcomes and thoughtful discussion of challenges.<\/li>\n<li><strong>APA Formatting and Writing Quality (15 points):<\/strong> Adheres to style guidelines; clear, concise, and error-free.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p dir=\"auto\">\u00a0Nurses often face challenges in managing patient falls in acute care settings, where evidence suggests multifactorial interventions can reduce incidents by up to 30%. A targeted EBP project might involve implementing bedside alarms combined with hourly rounding, drawing from studies in the Journal of Clinical Nursing. Initial assessments showed a baseline fall rate of 4 per 1,000 patient days, with post-implementation data indicating a decline after staff training sessions.<\/p>\n<h3 dir=\"auto\">References<\/h3>\n<ol dir=\"auto\">\n<li>Polit, D.F. and Beck, C.T., 2021.
