Describe
your role as a baccalaureate-prepared nurse supervising clinical staff nurses
with regard to communication and collaboration in locating evidence for
application to a nursing practice scenario.
Compile a
list of five online databases or other online sources (that is, websites,
journals, facility policies or guidelines, et cetera) that can be used to
research evidence to apply to the diagnosis in this scenario and describe to
which of these you would direct a nurse colleague to search for evidence.
Describe
where you might go in the work place to complete this research and how you
would access the desired, relevant research within research databases or other
online sources.
Be sure to
address the following in this assessment, which correspond to the grading
criteria in the scoring guide. Please study the scoring guide carefully so that
you will know what is needed for a distinguished score.
Describe
communication strategies to encourage nurses to research the diagnosis/practice
issue, as well as strategies to collaborate with the nurses to access
resources.
Describe
the best places to complete research and what types of resources you would want
to access to find pertinent information for the diagnosis/health care issue
within the context of a specific health care setting.
Identify
five sources of online information (medical journal databases, websites,
hospital policy databases, et cetera) that could be used to locate evidence for
a clinical diagnosis/practice issue.
Explain
why the sources of online information selected should provide the best evidence
for the chosen diagnosis/health care issue.
Communicate
using writing that is clear, logical, and professional with correct grammar and
spelling using current APA style.
Note:
While you are not selecting and evaluating specific evidence to help with the
clinical diagnosis/practice issue, you should still be citing the literature
and best practices to support your description of your communication and
collaboration approach. Additionally, it is appropriate to cite best practices
related to EBP and evaluating databases to support your explanation as to why
you selected the five sources of online information that you did.
