Name:

Please read the assignment guidelines and rubric. Provide answers to the following:  

1) Identify and describe one practice-related issue or concern.  You may choose to build on the practice issue you identified in NR500NP/NR501NP. Provide support for the issue from scholarly nursing sources current within the last 5 years.

2) Explain why the issue/concern is important to nurse practitioner practice and the issue’s impact on health outcomes.  Provide support for the importance of the issue from scholarly nursing sources current within the last 5 years.

3) Define each element of your PICOT question in one or two sentences.

• P-Population and problem (What is the nursing practice concern or problem and whom does it affect?)

• I–Intervention (What evidence-based solution for the problem would you like to apply?)

• C–Comparison (What is another solution for the problem? Note that this is typically the current practice, no intervention at all, or alternative solutions.) 

• O–Outcome (Very specifically, how will you know that the intervention worked? How you will measure the outcome?)

• T–Timeframe (Timeframe involved for the EBP initiative/target date of completion.)

Construct your PICOT question in the standard PICOT question format (narrative) and define each letter separately, such as:
