Develop a 3–5 page scholarly paper in which you explain the diagnosis you researched for Assessment 1, and then apply the steps of an EBP model to your search for evidence to address your diagnosis issue.
Instruction
Complete the following: The goal of using evidence-based research findings is to enhance safety and quality of patient care and ensure optimal outcomes are achieved. It is not uncommon to hear a nurse say, “why change it as we’ve always done it this way.” However, this is no longer acceptable in today’s practice environment. The profession of nursing has evolved, and the expectation is that the professional nurse has a scientific foundation to support the care that is provided. As the profession of nursing continues to evolve and engage in healthcare transformation, baccalaureate-prepared nurses are expanding, taking on leadership roles that include incorporating EBPs. To be able to do this, the nurse needs to understand the criteria that make a resource credible, as this is crucial when deciding if the research is valid and reliable for implementation into healthcare settings. The nurse will need to incorporate the use of EBP models. EBP models are designed to assist the nurse in developing a plan to gather evidence to answer a practice problem or question. It is a systematic approach to direct the user to incorporate scholarly findings into current practice. These EBP models lead the nurse through the decision-making process of evaluating the literature to determine the best practice evidence for the practice issue or question. Consider your diagnosis from Assessment 1. APPENDICITIS Explain an issue associated with this diagnosis that could benefit from an EBP approach. Choose the EBP model you wish to implement. Describe each step of the EBP model of your choice. Apply the steps of the model to your search for evidence for your diagnosis issue, and describe how you applied them. Locate at least three separate resources of evidence to assist with your diagnosis issue. Analyze the credibility and relevance of each resource as it relates to your diagnosis. This is a paper and should be 3–5 pages, not including the title page or reference page. The paper must be in APA format.
