Revise the Week 4 analytical essay by doing the following:  Consider how you want to incorporate the ideas and arguments from the outside source you located for your Week 5 scholarly article discussion. Include at least one quotation from the source in your final draft. Be sure to use APA style to cite it appropriately in the body of the essay and in the references section. Consider the feedback you received on your rough draft from your instructor, peers, and Smarthinking (if submitted for review), and determine what changes you want to make. Do you need a more engaging opener or a stronger thesis? Do you need to reinforce your arguments and add more supporting evidence? Do you have areas to develop or clarify? Are you satisfied with your conclusion? Once you have revised the essay, review it for editing issues. Run the spell checker and grammar checker in Word, and then proofread, looking for typos the checkers might have missed. Read it out loud to listen for awkward places and fine tune the flow. Make sure you have applied APA rules of style to source citations as well as the overall formatting of your essay.  Submit the essay to the Submissions Area when you are happy with your finished product. 

Provide a 3-4 sentence reply to the below discussion question answer in apa format with in-text citations and references

Answer: In last weeks discussion question, I had mentioned that the culture of the institution can be a barrier, and in addition to this,the lack of leadership support, education and time can compound the problem. It takes support from management as well as from fellow personnel (nurses, ancillary staff) to initiate, promote and maintain EBP in an organization. According to Polit & Beck, (2018),”Although many organizations support the idea of EBP in theory, they do not always provide the necessary supports in terms of staff release time and provisions of resources”. There are ways to address this particular barrier:

Organizing a staff meeting and explaining the value of implementing the EBP method

Explanations (posters on walls in break room, bathrooms,pamphlets) on how this new EBP method will bring quality care to the patient or improve a system within the organization helps staff become more receptive to new information.The staff has to see EBP as valuable and feasible.

Schedule monthly forums or meetings, enlist the aid of different staff members(on a rotation basis) and make them accountable to finish the task (making it count towards the annual evaluation). At my organization, extra duty tasks are included as favorable in the yearly evaluation. The incentive is pay increases, bonuses, time off awards.

Encourage online research. In the hospital that I work at there is a library (in the basement) but it is underutilized by everyone.Keep the staff informed as to when the library is open and provide administrative time off the floor for continued education, (Jennifer, 2017).  

Original Question: Consider an obstacle or barrier to the implementation of evidence-based practice you identified in last week’s discussion. What are two ways to address this problem?

topic:  st. jude’s hospital

1. Cover Page, Project Title, Students Name, & Course Name

2. Introduction and overview of the organization selected.

3. What are the mission, vision and values of the organization?

4. Conduct a SWOT (Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities, and Threats) analysis of the organization.

Research for information on the organization.

5. Identify Three areas for improvement based on the SWOT analysis and develop three strategic goals

6. Outline short term/long terms objectives and what steps and procedures would be necessary for

achieving these objectives? How you will evaluate/control each strategy (and thus each objective) in

your plan. How will you know whether your strategy/objective is on target? Who will be

responsible?

7. Keep in mind that resources may be scarce or limited. If you plan to do something, make sure that

you are considering costs/expenses and also how you will finance such activities.

8. Describe two approaches to marketing or promoting these goals within the organization or to the

community/service area.

Grading Rubric Advice and Sample Table for This Discussion Question

Class after completing all of the assigned readings answer the following question:

For the middle-aged adult, exercise can reduce the risk of various health problems. Choose two at-risk health issues that regular physical exercise and activity can help prevent and manage. Discuss the prevalence of each of these health problems in society today. Describe measures that you would take as a nurse to assist clients with health promotion measures to incorporate exercise and physical activity into their lives. Include the kind of activities you would recommend, the amount of exercise, and the approach you would use to gain cooperation from the client. Support your response with evidence-based literature.

Your post should illustrate that you completed the readings and be well related to the unit’s objectives. Please do not use consumer web sites like Mayo.org as the information is summarized and simplified for the consumer. Your post should illustrate knowledge much deeper than a consumers.

The intro determines the scope of the paper, is long enough, and takes the reader 

gradually to the thesis. 

Thesis is debatable (persuasive, expresses an opinion about the piece of 

 literature), precise, related to the topic, and clearly stated as the last sentence of 

the intro; no more than two sentences. It’s not an announcement: “In this paper 

I’m going to…” or “This paper is about…”; it’s not a question either.  

There is coherence and unity (topic sentence refers to thesis) within each 

individual body paragraph (see thesis) and between paragraphs. Paragraphs 

develop and support thesis with evidence, examples from the text (not from real 

life), show analytical ability.  

Direct quotes and paraphrasing are introduced, explained, and enough, relevant to support thesis and coherently integrated in the paper. 

Paper is formatted and presented with accurate MLA documentation (in-text 

citations for run-in and long quotations). 

 

Length (3 to 5 pages) and title of paper

The topic is a reflection/analysis of an aspect of a piece of literature covered in

Class.
