Description

NRS 493 Topic 5 DQ 1

Stakeholder support is necessary for a successful project implementation. Consider your internal stakeholders, such as the facility, unit, or health care setting where the change proposal is being considered, and your external stakeholders,

like an individual or group outside the health care setting. Why is their support necessary to the success of your change proposal, and how you will go about securing that support?

NRS 493 Topic 5 DQ 2

Technology is integral to successful implementation in many projects, through either support or integration or both. Name at least one technology that could improve the implementation process and the outcomes of your capstone project

change proposal. Do you plan to use this technology? If not, what are the barriers that prevent its use?

NRS 493 Topic 6 DQ 1

After discussion with your preceptor, name one financial aspect, one quality aspect, and one clinical aspect that need to be taken into account for developing the evidence-based change proposal. Explain how your proposal will directly and

indirectly impact each of the aspects.

NRS 493 Topic 6 DQ 2

Now that you have completed a series of assignments that have led you into the active project planning and development stage for your project, briefly describe your proposed solution to address the problem, issue, suggestion, initiative, or

educational need and how it has changed since you first envisioned it. What led to your current perspective and direction?

NRS 493 Topic 7 DQ 1

Describe one internal and one external method for the dissemination of your evidence-based change proposal. For example, an internal method may be the hospital board, and an external method may be a professional nursing

organization. Discuss why it is important to report your change proposal to both of these groups. How will your communication strategies change for each group?

NRS 493 Topic 7 DQ 2

In order to evaluate an evidence-based practice project, it is important to be able to determine the effectiveness of your change. Discuss one way you will be able to evaluate whether your project made a difference in practice.

NRS 493 Topic 8 DQ 1

Based on how you will evaluate your EBP project, which independent and dependent variables do you need to collect? Why?

NRS 493 Topic 8 DQ 2

Not all EBP projects result in statistically significant results. Define clinical significance, and explain the difference between clinical and statistical significance. How can you use clinical significance to support positive outcomes in your

project?

NRS 493 Topic 9 DQ 1

Discuss one personal strength and one weakness you have regarding professional presentations. Name one method for improvement for each of these and discuss why it is important for you to work on these skills if you want to present your

findings in a more formal setting.

NRS 493 Topic 9 DQ 2

Sustaining change can be difficult, as there are many variables that can affect implementation. One critical component of EBP is to ensure that practice change is part of an organization’s culture so it will continue to impact outcomes over time.

Name two potential barriers that may prevent your EBP change proposal from continuing to obtain the same desired results 6 months to a year from now, and your strategies for overcoming these barriers.

NRS 493 Topic 10 DQ 1

Dissemination of EBP and research, such as presenting results at a conference or writing an article for a journal, is an important part of professional practice. Identify one professional journal and one nursing or health care conference where

you might present your project. Discuss why each of your choices is the best option for you to disseminate your new knowledge.

NRS 493 Topic 10 DQ 2

Discuss why EBP is an essential component of the practice of a BSN-prepared RN. Identify two ways in which you will continue to integrate evidence into your practice and encourage it within your work environment. What obstacles could

challenge this plan, and what steps will you take to minimize their impact?
