This assignment provides the opportunity for the graduate nurse practitioner student to become familiar with research processes which are specific to quality improvement. The graduate nursing student will develop a State of the Science Evidence-Based Practice Project that is focused on quality improvement.

Note: The process began in Week 2 with the formation of a PICO question. Week 4 was Part 1 of the paper which laid theground workfor the project. Part 2 of the Project in Week 6 adds the following elements: Abstract, Review of the Literature (State of the Science), strengths and limitations of current evidence, and development of a quality enhancement (improvement) plan thataddresses limitations of current practice evidence.

Activity Learning Outcomes

  1. Integrate evidence-based practice and research to support advancement of holistic nursing care in diverse healthcare settings (CO1)
  2. Integrate knowledge related to evidence-based practice and person-centered care to improve healthcare outcomes (CO2)
  3. Develop knowledge related to research and evidence-based practice as a basis for designing and critiquingresearch studies (CO4)

Due Date:

  • Sundayby11:59pmMT at the end ofWEEK 6
  • Part 1 and 2 should be submitted as the final paper

Students are expected to submit assignments by the time they are due. Assignments submitted after the due date and time will receive a deduction of 10% of the total points possible for that assignment for each day the assignment is late. Assignments will be accepted, with penalty as described, up to a maximum of three days late, after which point a zero will be recorded for the assignment. Quizzes and discussions are not considered assignments and are not part of the late assignment policy.
