Application 1: Identification of a Practice Issue for the Evidence-Based Practice (EBP) Project

In many of the courses in the DNP program, you have been asked to analyze research literature when exploring issues in health care. Reflect now on an issue in your practice area that has different outcomes from what is supported by the literature. For example, the literature evidence notes that nosocomial infections are reduced when procedures such as hand washing, glove use, and isolation strategies are implemented. In your clinical area, you have implemented these strategies and you are not seeing a reduction in nosocomial infections.

For Application 1, you select an issue that will serve as the launching point for your Evidence-Based Practice (EBP) Project.

Before you proceed with this assignment, you may wish to review the overview of the full EBP Project assignment. (see attached file)

To prepare for Application 1:

• Consider      the specifics of your practicum setting, as well as practice-related      challenges in your specialty area that interest you. Brainstorm practice      issues in which an outcome is different from what would be expected      according to the research literature (based      on the PIICOT Question previously formulated).
• Select      one issue to focus on for this assignment (based on the PIICOT Question previously formulated).
• .      This will be your issue for the entire EBP Project, so be sure it is one      that will enable you to fulfill the project requirements (e.g., you can      develop new approaches to practice). You may wish to speak with your      Practicum Mentor about your selection.
• Explore      the research literature on this issue.

To complete: In a 2-page paper, in APA format and at least 3 references, address the following as numbered below:

1) Introduction ending with a purpose statement (e.g. the purpose of this paper is…)

2) Provide a summary of the selected practice issue in which the outcome is different from what would be expected according to the research literature. (Note: The issue you select must be suitable for completing the entire EBP Project.)

3) Conclusion

PIICOT Statement

In patients in extended intensive care within an urban acute care facility in Eastern United States, how does early mobilization as recommended by National Institute of Health and Care Excellence clinical guidelines on rehabilitation of patients after critical illness impact early transfers from intensive care as measured 6 months post-implementation when compared to the current standard of care including minimal mobilization of patients?

P: Adult patients 

I: in extended intensive care within an urban acute care facility

I: increased mobilization of the patients 

C: minimal mobilization of the patients

To students: In addition to the Learning Resources and facilitated discussions provided each week, you are expected to integrate articles from peer-reviewed journals to inform and support your positions and conclusions in the Application Assignments. Graduate-level scholarship provides the foundation for your work and requires a higher level of evidence than lay references, such as the dictionary, Wikipedia, general Internet sites, nursing newspapers, expert opinion, and the like. 

Must include at least 1 reference from the list of provided Required Readings and at least 2 references from scholarly articles from peer-reviewed journals

This assignment is due on Wednesday 09/05/18

Write a 750-1000 word analysis of “Case Study: Fetal Abnormality.” Be sure to address the following questions:

1. Which theory or theories are being used by Jessica, Marco, Maria, and Dr. Wilson to determine the moral status of the fetus? Explain.
2. How does the theory determine or influence each of their recommendation for action?
3. What theory do you agree with? How would that theory determine or influence the recommendation for action?

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.

You are required to submit this assignment to Turnitin. Please refer to the directions in the Student Success Center.

 

Question 1: Renaissance and Baroque Sculpture in Italy

The biblical hero David was a popular subject for sculpture and painting throughout the Renaissance and into the Baroque period. By studying, comparing, and contrasting sculptures of David created in the fifteenth, sixteenth, and seventeenth centuries, you can begin to see the stylistic changes that occurred across these centuries. In a minimum of 3 well-developed paragraphs, compare and contrast the following 3 sculptures of David:

1. Early Renaissance: Donatello. David. 1446-1460.
2. High Renaissance: Michelangelo. David. 1501-1504.
3. Baroque. Gianlorenzo Bernini. David. 1623.

In your comparison, discuss:

• What specific visual similarities do you observe in these three sculptures?
• What specific differences do you see? Consider the representation of the figure, additional objects portrayed, and the role of the viewer for each sculpture
• How has the attitude of David changed between these three representations?
• How is each sculpture representative of the time period and style in which it was created?

Be sure to explain your ideas clearly and support them by discussing specific works of art that you have read about this week, talking about how they illustrate and support your ideas.

Question 2: Dutch Baroque Painting

As we learned this week, Dutch Baroque art showed the influence of Protestantism and the middle-class merchants and traders who served as patrons. Dutch Baroque artists created portraits, still lifes, landscapes, and genre scenes of domestic life.

In a minimum of 2 well developed paragraphs, discuss how the following paintings reflect the social and historical context of sixteenth-century Holland. Consider the influence of religion, commerce, social structure, and/or patrons of the art in your response. Offer specific examples of how the subject of each painting reflects the society and culture in which it was created.

1. Frans Hals, Officers of the Haarlem Militia Company of Saint Adrian, c. 1627
2. Rembrandt van Rijn, The Anatomy Lesson of Dr. Tulp, 1632
3. Johannes Vermeer, Woman Holding a Balance, c. 1664

Be sure to explain your ideas clearly and support them by discussing specific works of art that you have read about this week, talking about how they illustrate and support your ideas.

Respond to both questions as thoroughly as possible, making sure to use information from the readings and the lectures. All responses should be in complete sentence form, using proper spelling and grammar.
