Your literature review submission should include more than just  everyone’s article critiques. See below from the EBP Phase 2  requirements. 

1. Conduct a literature search, record key terms and results.
2. Select research articles of the highest level of evidence.
3. Critique the article and submit to the instructor.
4. Highlight the main points and recommendations from each research article.

This means you need to also be submitting a record of your literature  search with the key terms used and results yielded and the main points  and ideas from each article. This would be a paragraph or two of each  article

my question for this article was 

do the nurse work 12 hours shift make more medication error compared to nurses who work 8 hours shifts? 

The field of nursing has changed over time. In a 750‐1,000 word paper, discuss nursing practice today by addressing the following:

1. Explain how nursing practice has changed over time and how this evolution has changed the scope of practice and the approach to treating the individual.
2. Compare and contrast the differentiated practice competencies between an associate and baccalaureate education in nursing. Explain how scope of practice changes between an associate and baccalaureate nurse.
3. Identify a patient care situation and describe how nursing care, or approaches to decision‐making, differ between the BSN‐prepared nurse and the ADN nurse.
4. Discuss the significance of applying evidence‐based practice to nursing care and explain how the academic preparation of the RN‐BSN nurse supports its application.
5. Discuss how nurses today communicate and collaborate with interdisciplinary teams and how this supports safer and more effective patient outcomes.

You will engage with and interview a nurse leader in person. You should begin thinking about this activity as soon as possible and identify how you will identify and gain access to the interview. You may include photos, graphs, or charts.

1. Choose a nurse leader who holds a leadership nursing position in their organization who have direct reports (they supervise other employees). Examples of this include Director of Nursing, Director, Unit Manager. *You may not be employed in the same facility as your interviewee or shadow during personal work hours* (If special accommodations need to be made, approval by your instructor is required first). 
2. Develop an interview guide before conducting the interview. Identify information that you want to know before the interview and plan clarifying questions. You must include at least one question about technology/informatics.
3. Conduct an interview regarding their professional role in the organization, and a current health care issue that is of interest to you (ethics, conflict management, budget, staffing, culture of safety, “just culture”, career advancement, quality improvement, etc.). Identify the name of the organization and use names of all involved (no anonymity).
4. Prepare a written report of the interview.

Nursing standard of practice helps us to define our roles on what can we do or limitation in our professional capacity. Having regulations and standards across all nursing specialties helps to improve outcomes and patient safety. (Grand Canyon, 2018).

The American Nurses Association (ANA) develops the general nursing scope and standards that apply to all nurses. Specialty organizations align with those broad parameters by developing and revising their own specific scope and standards of practice. (Maloney, 2016)

• WHO: All RN’s or APRN’s received education, titled and licensed to provide care.
• WHAT: May perform specific function on promoting wellness, preventing injury and alleviate sufferings.
• WHERE: an organized healthcare system
• WHEN: when RN’s obtain their credentials and educational requirements to perform a specific task.
• WHY: standardized procedure authorizes the RN to exceed the usual scope of RN practice.

The Nursing Practice Act (NPA) is the body of California law that mandates the Board to set out the scope of practice and responsibilities for RNs. The NPA is located in the California Business and Professions Code starting with Section 2700. Regulations which specify the implementation of the law appear in the California Code of Regulations. (California Board of Registered Nurses, n.d.)

Different entities who are involved in developing the standard of practice and promoting positive patient outcomes are: The Joint Commission on Accreditation of Healthcare Organization ( JCAHO), performs evaluation of safety regulations in workplace to promote safety and effective care; National Council of State Board of Nursing ( NCBN), develops nursing licensure standards for credential and Nursing Practice Act or NPA that defines legal scope of nursing practice in different states.

In my unit specialty which is Critical Care, Standard of practice guides us on what life saving measures we can perform independently as a nurse during CODE BLUES. For example, it is not under our scope of practice to intubate a patient regardless if he or she is in respiratory distress. We are not allowed to ask a patient to sign an informed consent for any procedure independently without speaking to their doctors to answer all their questions and concerns. All of these standards protect not only the patient but also the nurses against malpractice or negligence.

 Instructions

The purpose of this assignment is to apply knowledge of reliable and valid information sources to patient education in clinical nursing practice and to evaluate patient educational materials posted on the internet.

The assignment for this week consists of 3-5 page paper evaluating consumer/patient health information on the web. You will be required to find a website that is designed to provide health information to the consumer/patient and analyze it according to the criteria described below. You are required to report your analysis in a formal course paper.

   Choose a health topic/issue in which you want to educate your patient/consumer/family about (diabetes, heart failure, teenage pregnancy, depression, etc…) and briefly describe in your paper :
       An explanation of your health topic/issue and why you selected it (Significance of the topic/issue selected).

   Find an internet source that is designed to provide information/education about your selected health topic/issue and analyze the following:

       describe the website (main title, information)
       describe the overall impression about the design of the website (organization, easiness of finding information, easiness to read, table of content/index, colors, font, does it look professional).
       Who is sponsoring the website?
       How often is the site updated? When was the site created? Was it updated recently?
       Does it state that the content is not medical advice?
       Who is the intended audience? Does the site have a clear target audience? Is the information presented appropriate to the target population?

   How credible are the information presented:

       Is there any evidence that the author of the web information has some authority in the field about which she or he is providing information? Who is responsible for the information? What are the author’s credentials? Is a mechanism in place for you to contact the author?
       Are there clues that the author/s are biased? For example, is he/she selling or promoting a product? Is the author taking a personal stand on a social/political issue or is the author being objective ? Bias is not necessarily “bad,” but the connections should be clear.
       Does the information have a complete list of works cited, which reference credible, authoritative sources? Is the information valid and supported by evidence? Are omissions noted? Is the author’s point of view objective and unbiased?
       Is the information accurate? Any inconsistencies, inaccuracies, errors, false information, etc…
       Are there links that point to additional, valuable resources with minimum effort?

   Adequacy:

       Over all, does the site provide consumer/patient education? is the education adequate or does the consumer have to go somewhere else to find answers about the topic?

   Sophistication of the information:

       Is this source too elementary, too technical, too advanced, or just right?
       Is the purpose of the site clearly stated? Does the site match its purpose? Is the site intended to educate or sell?

   Submit a 3-5 page analysis paper following APA format (include title page, running head, introduction, headings, Summary paragraph, reference page, in-text citation). You need to include at least 5 reliable and current (within the last 5 years) references of which at least 3 journal articles.
