identify and analyze credible evidence that could be used as the basis for applying EBP to the issue.
Develop a 2-4 page scholarly paper in which you describe a quality or safety issue, or a chosen diagnosis, and then identify and analyze credible evidence that could be used as the basis for applying EBP to the issue.IntroductionThe 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 weve always done it this way. However, this is no longer acceptable in todays 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 health care 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 and makes a resource credible, as this is crucial when deciding if the research is valid and reliable for implementation into health care settings. The nurse will need to incorporate the use of evidence-based practice 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.It would be an excellent choice to complete the Vila Health Determining the Credibility of Evidence activity prior to developing the report. The activity is a media simulation that offers an opportunity to review a scenario and work on determining the credibility of presented evidence. These skills will be necessary to complete Assessment 2 successfully. This media simulation is one potential source of context on which to base your assessment submission. This will take just a few minutes of your time and is not graded.Professional ContextAs a baccalaureate-prepared nurse, you will be responsible for locating and identifying credible and scholarly resources to incorporate the best available evidence for the purposes of enhancing clinical reasoning and judgement skills. When reliable and relevant evidence-based findings are utilized, patients, health care systems, and nursing practice outcomes are positively impacted.ScenarioFor this assessment, you may choose from the following options as the context for the quality or safety issue or chosen diagnosis/health issue for researching and completing this assessment:The specific diagnosis/health issue you identified in your previous assessment.The simulation Vila Health: Determining the Credibility of Evidence.A personal practice experience in which a sentinel event occurred.InstructionsThe purpose of this analysis is to better understand what constitutes credibility of journal articles as well as websites. The role of the baccalaureate-prepared nurse in incorporating evidence-based research continues to growth in clinical practice. As quality improvement (QI) measures to reduce safety risks continue to be emphasized, the need for evidence-based models and evidence-based templates is growing. This type of systematic approach to incorporating evidence-based findings allows nurses to make clinical and operational decisions based upon the best available evidence. When the most up-to-date evidence-based findings are utilized, patient-centered care improves outcomes and enhances the patient experience.Below is a quick review table of several well-known Evidence-Based Practice Models used to guide exploration:Evidence-Based Practice ModelsIowa Model of Evidence-Based PracticeStetler ModelOttawa ModelPARiHS (Promoting Action on Research Implementation in Health Services) ModelACE (Academic Center for Evidence-Based Practice) Star ModelARCC (Advancing Research and Clinical Practice Through Close Collaboration) ModeJohn Hopkins ModelKTA (Knowledge-to-Action) ModelFor this assessment:Explain the criteria that should be used when determining the credibility of journal articles as well as websites.Support your explanations with references to the literature or research articles that describe criteria that should be used to determine credibility.Your identification and determination of credibility should be done within the context of your chosen scenario for this assessment. For example, if you choose to use the provided Vila Health scenario, your initial identification of resources should be of resources that will best help address the presented issue. However, if you are locating resources to help provide evidence-based care for the diagnosis/health care issue you identified in the first assessment, you may want to begin your literature and evidence search from the databases that were identified.

CHAPTERS 4 8 AND 9 MUST BE COMPLETED USING THIS FORMATFORMAT for Reading ResponseText Chapter(s) and/or Article TitleAbstract:A very brief summary of what you understand as the main ideas of the articles/chapters. *You may synthesize multiple readings, or respond to them separately.Respond to the main idea of the chapter/article/videos and synthesize:Each response must have meaningful & relevant connections to the coursework.Personal and/or professional experience.Respond to the question, How does this new information inform or guide your (future) work as a teacher working with young children with special needs and their families.Develop a discussion question in connection with the reading, post question along with your reading response.This format must be used for each chapter individually so each chapter should look like the example below:Chapter 3:Abstract: This chapter went over the process and information that goes into an Individualized intervention plan as well as the programs used to monitor the progress made under these plans. The main idea of this article to me at least was the part that went over individualized family service plans (IFSP). In this section they went into great detail on what IFSP are and how they are implemented. An IFSP is used for children anywhere from birth to 3 years old. It is a plan that looks at the concerns of the family for the child and helps provide resources that will allow for family directed intervention. Within these plans the families input is most important since the family is crucial to the success of these plans.Synthesize: In order for an IFSP to occur there is a team put into place with trained individuals who can observe the progress of the child. There are annual reviews to the plan to be sure it is working properly so that the family has the resources needed for the plan. The way they go about assessing the child for these plans was quite interesting to me. In order to assess a child for an IFSP it is done in a setting that the child is in on a regular basis. These evaluations are done in the childs natural setting to build trust between the child, his/her family and the person who is doing the evaluation. This is important because then you are able to assess the childs growth. They develop short term and long term goals for the child and are in constant contact with the families of the child to make sure everyone is satisfied with the progress.Personal/Professional Experience: I have never had experiences with an IFSP plan however I have had experiences with IEPs. These two plans defer in the sense that an IFSP is family based while an IEP is child based. However, after reading about IFSP I believe that IEPs should also allow for family involvement. A child spends a lot of time in school but even more time with his/her family and they play a huge role in the childs academic progress as well in later years not just from birth to age 3. By allowing the family to be involved you can create better connections and see greater progress in the childs development.Future: I plan to become a special education teacher and so knowing about IFSP plans will allow me to participate in these meetings for my future students.Discussion question: Do you think that if more parents knew about IFSP they would be more willing to be involved in their childs special needs services and allow it to be provided to their children ?
