Prepare this assignment as a 1,500-1,750 word paper using the instructor feedback from the previous course assignments and the guidelines below.

PICOT Question  

Revise the PICOT question you wrote in the Topic 1 assignment using the feedback you received from your instructor.

The final PICOT question will provide a framework for your capstone project (the project students must complete during their final course in the RN-BSN program of study).

Research Critiques

In the Topic 2 and Topic 3 assignments, you completed a qualitative and quantitative research critique on two articles for each type of study (4 articles total). Use the feedback you received from your instructor on these assignments to finalize the critical analysis of each study by making appropriate revisions.

The completed analysis should connect to your identified practice problem of interest that is the basis for your PICOT question.

Refer to “Research Critiques and PICOT Guidelines – Final Draft.” Questions under each heading should be addressed as a narrative in the structure of a formal paper.

Proposed Evidence-Based Practice Change

Discuss the link between the PICOT question, the research articles, and the nursing practice problem you identified. Include relevant details and supporting explanation and use that information to propose evidence-based practice changes.

Thank you.  

Do you believe you have the traits to be an effective leader? Perhaps you are already in a supervisory role, but as has been discussed previously, appointment does not guarantee leadership skills.

How can you evaluate your own leadership skills and behaviors? You can start by analyzing your performance in specific areas of leadership. In this Discussion, you will complete Gallup’s StrengthsFinder assessment. This assessment will identify your personal strengths, which have been shown to improve motivation, engagement, and academic self-conference. Through this assessment, you will discover your top five themes—which you can reflect upon and use to leverage your talents for optimal success, and examine how the results relate to your leadership traits.

To Prepare:

Complete the StrengthsFinder assessment instrument, per the instructions found in this Module’s Learning Resources.

Please Note: This Assessment will take roughly 30 minutes to complete.

• Once you have completed your assessment, you will receive your “Top 5 Signature Themes of Talent” on your screen.
• Click the Download button below Signature Theme Report, and then print and save the report. We also encourage you to select the Apply tab to review action items.

NOTE: Please keep your report. You will need your results for future courses. 

• Reflect on the results of your Assessment, and consider how the results relate to your leadership traits.
• Download your Signature Theme Report to submit for this Discussion.

Post a brief description of your results from the StrengthsFinder assessment. Then, briefly describe two core values, two strengths, and two characteristics that you would like to strengthen based on the results of your StrengthsFinder assessment. Be specific. Note: Be sure to attach your Signature Theme Report to your Discussion post.

Your quest to purchase a new car begins with an identification of the factors important to you. As you conduct a search of cars that rate high on those factors, you collect evidence and try to understand the extent of that evidence. A report that suggests a certain make and model of automobile has high mileage is encouraging. But who produced that report? How valid is it? How was the data collected, and what was the sample size?

In this Assignment, you will delve deeper into clinical inquiry by closely examining your PICO(T) question. You also begin to analyze the evidence you have collected.

To Prepare:

• Review the Resources and identify a clinical issue of interest that can form the basis of a clinical inquiry.
• Develop a PICO(T) question to address the clinical issue of interest you identified in Module 2 for the Assignment. This PICOT question will remain the same for the entire course.
• Use the key words from the PICO(T) question you developed and search at least four different databases in the Walden Library. Identify at least four relevant systematic reviews or other filtered high-level evidence, which includes meta-analyses, critically-appraised topics (evidence syntheses), critically-appraised individual articles (article synopses). The evidence will not necessarily address all the elements of your PICO(T) question, so select the most important concepts to search and find the best evidence available.
• Reflect on the process of creating a PICO(T) question and searching for peer-reviewed research.

The Assignment (Evidence-Based Project)

Part 2: Advanced Levels of Clinical Inquiry and Systematic Reviews

Create a 6- to 7-slide PowerPoint presentation in which you do the following:

• Identify and briefly describe your chosen clinical issue of interest.
• Describe how you developed a PICO(T) question focused on your chosen clinical issue of interest.
• Identify the four research databases that you used to conduct your search for the peer-reviewed articles you selected.
• Provide APA citations of the four relevant peer-reviewed articles at the systematic-reviews level related to your research question. If there are no systematic review level articles or meta-analysis on your topic, then use the highest level of evidence peer reviewed article.
• Describe the levels of evidence in each of the four peer-reviewed articles you selected, including an explanation of the strengths of using systematic reviews for clinical research.  Be specific and provide examples.

Imago Dei is one of the foundations for nursing and humankind in general. Being created in the image of God reminds us that we are made like Him-his image, not to look like him, per se, but that our ways and character should be like God, one of loving one another despite differences and looking to improve and support one another’s lives, not to destroy or undermine each other (White, 2020). This is to serve as a reminder that we, as humans, all have worth and nobody is more important than anyone else, we are all in His image and are important.

When providing care to our patients, there is no time to consider if this person is worthy to save, heal or provide excellent care to. We are all in His image, imago Dei, and He loves us all equally. Our self-worth or that of our patients does not lie in our demographics or bank account. All should be treated as if we are always treating the Holy One. The cross was for us all and there should never be a hesitancy in our practice to impart care due for any patient. Doing good and helping others should form the basis for our interactions with our patients and mankind in general if we are truly to embrace imago Dei. As all of us are worthy of respect; our interventions should show our love and respect for anyone we are serving. “Serving” is a word that is used in the Bible over and over, it encompasses what our occupation is about and what our God meant when he created us for communion with him.

The Christian concept of imago Dei explains that human beings are created in God’s image and likeness. Therefore human life is more valuable and unique compared to all other living forms. This concept is relevant to the aspects of humanity. In the healthcare context, imago Dei is an exceptionally essential and fundamental understanding. With this understanding in mind, healthcare providers and caregivers should continue with their duties and make sure to attend to all people regardless of their beliefs and religions (Peterson, 2016).

Human life is a gift. Therefore each life is important and meaningful, and each deserves respect, kindness, empathy, and dignity. An individual’s dignity and worth are not determined by their health status, bodily functions, and medical prognosis. Healthcare providers should always ensure that every patient receives treatment to uphold the truth and always honor a patient’s right to understand (Szczerba, 2020). Concern should be the standard of care regardless of the patient’s medical decisions and whether they oppose the health worker’s personal opinion.

The belief in imago Dei is relevant since if we all believed in its existence, then there would be moral consequences when we choose to treat human beings the same as all other gods’ creations. Our responsibility is to help the sick and treat them and help them hope for better outcomes in their illnesses.

CAT D

All:

Each week, I will ask everyone to complete a specific Classroom Assessment Tool (CAT) that helps me gauge how well you are learning a key component of that week’s new information. You may complete the CAT within this DQ, and it will count as a participation post. You do still need to answer the DQ directly, of course, for points.

Here is this week’s CAT:

The Christian view of Imago Dei has implications during each stage of a person’s life. Please briefly describe in one or two sentences what the “sacredness of human life made in the image of God” means in the case of:

• The unborn child
• The disabled infant
• The troubled teenager
• The addicted adult
• The mentally limited, incontinent, very old person
