After completing the required readings and lesson, answer the following: • Explain how research has evolved since the Florence Nightingale era. • Discuss how research and EBP are different; include how you believe research supports EBP for nursing. • Describe one past/historical unethical breach of research conduct; then, share how you would ensure care of a study participant using one ethical or legal research consideration (guideline/principle). NR 439 Week 2 Discussion Question: Research, Practice Problems, and Questions Professional nurses rely on research findings to inform practice decisions; they use critical thinking to apply research directly to specific patient care situations. Think about an independent nursing practice problem you care passionately about and would be interested in searching for evidence. The below problems should not be used: *medical/doctor/physician problems such as medications, or medications administration or effects, diagnostics such as EKGs, labs, cardiac catherizations. *staffing, nurse-to-patient ratios, workforce issues are organizational/system /political/administrative/multi-stakeholder problems which nursing cannot solve independently. • Describe a significant nursing clinical issue, topic of interest, or practice problem that is important to you. Describe why you chose the problem/topic. • Write your clinical question in the PICO(T) format for your nursing practice problem. • Share why you care about this nursing practice problem and why you believe the problem would benefit from finding the best evidence. NR 439 Week 3 Discussion: The Literature Review and Searching for Evidence Discussion Questions You must access the following article to answer the questions: Baker, N., Taggart, H., Nivens, A. & Tillman, P. (2015). Delirium: Why are nurses confused? MedSurg Nursing, 24(1), 15-22. permalink (Links to an external site.) • Locate the literature review section. Summarize using your own words from one of the study/literature findings. Be sure to identify which study you are summarizing. • Discuss how the author’s review of literature (studies) supported the research purpose/problem. Share something that was interesting to you as you read through the literature review section. • Describe one strategy that you learned that would help you create a strong literature review/search for evidence.
