Details:

The first step of the EBP process is to develop a question from the nursing practice problem of interest.

Select a practice problem of interest to use as the focus of your research.

Start with the patient and identify the clinical problems or issues that arise from clinical care.

Following the PICOT format, write a PICOT statement in your selected practice problem area of interest, which is applicable to your proposed capstone project.

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

Conduct a literature search to locate research articles focused on your selected practice problem of interest. This literature search should include both quantitative and qualitative peer-reviewed research articles to support your practice problem.

Select six peer-reviewed research articles which will be utilized through the next 5 weeks as reference sources. Be sure that some of the articles use qualitative research and that some use quantitative research. Create a reference list in which the six articles are listed. Beneath each reference include the article’s abstract. The completed assignment should have a title page and a reference list with abstracts.

Suggestions for locating qualitative and quantitative research articles from credible sources:

1. Use a library database such as CINAHL Complete for your search.
2. Using the advanced search page check the box beside “Research Article” in the “Limit Your Results” section.
3. When setting up the search you can type your topic in the top box, then add quantitative or qualitative as a search term in one of the lower boxes. Research articles often are described as qualitative or quantitative.

To narrow/broaden your search, remove the words qualitative and quantitative and include words that narrow or broaden your main topic. For example: Diabetes and pediatric and dialysis. To determine what research design was used, review the abstract and the methods section of the article. The author will provide a description of data collection using qualitative or quantitative methods.

Prepare this assignment according to the guidelines found in the APA Style Guide, located in the Student Success Center. An abstract is not required.

This assignment uses a rubric. Please review the rubric prior to beginning the assignment to become familiar with the expectations for successful completion.

 12 slides- including title and cited apa scholarly reference page

Assignment:

Design a PowerPoint presentation for high school aged students discussing normative aging changes, sexuality, STDs, and prevention.  

**Discuss the normal body changes that happen through puberty into young adult-

Discuss specific STDs, causes, symptoms, complications, and treatment: 

  **You should include a slide or two for each of the following:  

Gonorrhea, Chlamydia, Herpes, HIV, Syphillis, HPV

**ALSO DISCUSS PREGNANCY AND PREVENTION

The assignment should be submitted in PowerPoint format, with at least 10 content slides (in addition to a title slide and reference slide) and include at least two scholarly sources other than provided materials.

 FOLLOW THIS OUTLINE-     Do not write a paper in the PPT – clean, organized and easy to read bullets/graphs/diagrams should be used to get the message across- NO full sentences or paragraphs are to be used in a power point.    Titles on each slide are to be in all capital letters, remaining information such as text info and references are NEVER in all capital letters in a power point.   Citations FOR NON QUOTES are on EACH slide posted in the lower right corner as (author, year). If you use a QUOTE– then use the citation within the sentence/message and don’t forget the author/year/ p. or para. Has to be cited – but using quotes and full sentences is completely avoided if at all possible for class PPTs. Citations are to be in parentheses. I do NOT want you to complete “speaker notes” in your power points!    Enticing background color is welcomed as well as minimal transitions and pictures to add to the message. Usually 3-4 pictures or diagrams are used in a power point. (You do not need to cite sources of pictures or graphics in your power point unless they are copyrighted).    Title slide with title, your name, the date, and school listed   Objectives slide follows the title slide and tells the reader what you will cover. (Just like the introductory paragraph in a paper).   Every slide has a heading in ALL CAPITAL letters- of no more than 3-4 words- no acronyms (such as RN, MD, ICU, etc.) are permitted in headings, all numbers and acronyms have to be spelled out in headings or titles or as the first word of any sentence.    No more than 7-8 bullets or points on a slide   Reference slide compiling ALL references as the last slide in APA format; bulleted or “hanging”   Be sure that the font is large enough to read or you may need to make it larger- sometimes 15-20 are good for references.    There should be several pictures, graphs, or diagrams in each power point. If they are copyrighted material, they must be cited and referenced.   NEVER use all capital letters in text of slides, references, or citations in a power point. Only all capitals are used in titles of slides. 

 

Among the Resources in this module is the Rutherford (2008) article Standardized Nursing Language: What Does It Mean for Nursing Practice? In this article, the author recounts a visit to a local hospital to view the recent implementation of a new coding system.

During the visit, one of the nurses commented to her, “We document our care using standardized nursing languages but we don’t fully understand why we do” (Rutherford, 2008, para. 1).

How would you respond to a comment such as this one?

To Prepare:

• Review the concepts of informatics as presented in the Resources, particularly Rutherford, M. (2008) Standardized Nursing Language: What Does It Mean for Nursing Practice?
• Reflect on the role of a nurse leader as a knowledge worker.
• Consider how knowledge may be informed by data that is collected/accessed.

The Assignment:

In a 2- to 3-page paper, address the following:

• Explain how you would inform this nurse (and others) of the importance of standardized nursing terminologies.
• Describe the benefits and challenges of implementing standardized nursing terminologies in nursing practice. Be specific and provide examples.
• Be sure to support your paper with peer-reviewed research on standardized nursing terminologies that you consulted from the Walden Library.

Disasters come in many forms. There are natural disasters such as hurricanes, tornados or disease outbreaks such as Ebola. There are man-made disasters such as bombings, bioterrorism, or airplane crashes. We expect that someone will provide us with assistance to keep us safe and recover from these disasters. Have you ever thought about who is responsible for this assistance and how it is coordinated? Agencies at all levels: local, state, and federal have a role to play. Choose a government level and investigate what agencies have a role in disaster prevention and assistance. 

Create a PowerPoint presentation no longer than 10 slides (including title and reference slide in APA format) to discuss these agencies and what their role is in a disaster.

You should include a minimum of 3 references. Include a reference slide in APA format.
