Capstone Project Milestone 1:<\/p>\n
Practice Issue and Evidence Summary Guidelines<\/p>\n
Purpose<\/p>\n
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 \u2018breaking down\u2019 of a systematic review on your topic for your change project.<\/p>\n
Course Outcomes<\/p>\n
This assignment enables the student to meet the following course outcomes: <\/p>\n
\u2022 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)<\/p>\n
\u2022 CO8: Selects evidence for best practice when planning professional nursing care for individuals, families, aggregates, and communities. (PO #8)<\/p>\n
Due Dates<\/p>\n
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.<\/p>\n
Points <\/p>\n
Milestone #1 is worth 175 points (75 points for the Practice Issue and 100 points for the Evidence Summary).<\/p>\n
Practice Issue Worksheet Directions<\/p>\n
1. Practice Issue Worksheet: <\/p>\n
a. 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. <\/p>\n
i. Your practice issue will be the same for all three Milestone assignments in this course. <\/p>\n
b. Please type your answers directly into the worksheet.<\/p>\n
Evidence Summary Worksheet Directions<\/p>\n
2. Evidence Summary Worksheet: <\/p>\n
a. Read the guidelines including the grading rubrics below. You will use this worksheet to incorporate your evidence summary into your Week 4 Milestone 2 assignment. <\/p>\n
b. Find a systematic review article in the Chamberlain library on your topic. Your Systematic Review Article must be peer-reviewed and include a narrative summary.<\/p>\n
i. Go to the Chamberlain Library, click on RNBSN; NR451 Capstone course. You can find systematic reviews from many databases within the library, or by searching from the library homepage main search bar. <\/p>\n
ii. To search, combine the phrase ‘systematic review’ with your topic using the Boolean search operator AND. For example, if you are looking for a systematic review on fall prevention, you would use this Boolean search phrase: systematic review AND fall prevention. <\/p>\n
c. Type in your practice issue in the search tab; choose a systematic review article with a narrative summary to complete your worksheet. <\/p>\n
d. Please type your answers directly into the worksheet.<\/p>\n
