ORDER A CUSTOMIZED, PLAGIARISM-FREE Discussion: NSG 7220 Week 9 HERE

Start reviewing and responding to the postings of your classmates as early in the week as possible. Respond to at least two of your classmates’ initial postings. Participate in the discussion by asking a question, providing a statement of clarification, providing a point of view with a rationale, challenging an aspect of the discussion, or indicating a relationship between two or more lines of reasoning in the discussion. Cite sources in your responses to other classmates. Complete your participation for this assignment by the end of the week.

Clinical Seminar

In your clinical seminar this week, you will present a professional 12- to 15-slide Microsoft PowerPoint presentation (exclusive of references) to your classmates. The presentation will be a collation of the evidence (articles) you have retrieved about your topic of interest. Although you will use the articles that you have retrieved each week as the basis for your discussion question, the evidence will be presented in one culminating project in support of nursing standards and patient safety toward your topic of interest.

While critiquing your weekly articles, you may find similarities or distinct differences within the evidence. Explore the reasons for this. Take note of the strength of the evidence reviewed. In your Microsoft PowerPoint presentation, present and analyze the evidence and how it supports nursing standards and patient safety. Your classmates will have an opportunity to ask thought-provoking questions about the evidence you present.

Upload your Microsoft PowerPoint presentation to the Discussion Area. The Microsoft PowerPoint presentation should follow the guidelines for a professional presentation. Follow guidelines for preparing a professional Microsoft PowerPoint presentation. Speaker notes are not required.

Provide constructive critiques of your classmates’ presentations or provide additional insights into their topics. Provide evidence to support your critique or insight.

WEEK 9

What does the evidence say about your topic?

According to Stevens (2013):

The impact of evidence-based practice (EBP) has echoed across nursing practice, education, and science. The call for evidence-based quality improvement and healthcare transformation underscores the need for redesigning care that is effective, safe, and efficient. In line with multiple direction-setting recommendations from national experts, nurses have responded to launch initiatives that maximize the valuable contributions that nurses have made, can make, and will make, to fully deliver on the promise of EBP. Such initiatives include practice adoption; education and curricular realignment; model and theory development; scientific engagement in the new fields of research; and development of a national research network to study improvement.

To affect better patient outcomes, new knowledge must be transformed into clinically useful forms, effectively implemented across the entire care team within a systems context, and measured in terms of meaningful impact on performance and health outcomes. The EBP movement began with the characterization of the problem—the unacceptable gap between what we know and what we do in the care of patients. (para. 1–2)

Given the catalyst for the EBP movement several years ago, we know that gaps still remain despite our best efforts. What gaps still exist today pertaining to your topic of interest? The retrieval of topic-specific evidence over the last several weeks must have revealed some disparities in healthcare delivery. Please stop and reflect on these areas and be sure to include your findings in your Clinical Seminar presentation this week.
