As someone engaged in advanced nursing practice, you have the opportunity to search for new solutions to issues in your specialty area. What tools can you use to guide the discovery process? What needs to be considered as you determine new practice approaches to address issues in health care? This week, you consider new ways to address the EBP Project issue you identified in Week 2 see attached file).

To prepare:

  • Reflect on your analysis of the evidence base that addresses your selected issue from the EBP Project (identified during      Week 2 [see attached file]).
  • Using methods articulated in the Learning Resources, formulate new evidence-based practice strategies to address the issue and improve health care quality.
  • What are the theoretical bases for your proposed strategies?
  • What might be the economic impact of implementing your proposed strategies?
