Nursing practice is always evolving as new evidence is brought forward in research studies.  Evidence-based practice is the use of the best evidence in making clinical decisions based on an integration of the best available evidence, most often from disciplined research, with clinical expertise and patient preferences (Polit & Beck, 2018). Nursing adopts EBP based on appraised and synthesized evidence determined to be relevant depending on clinical expertise and patient preferences.  EBP affects clinical practice and results in decisions that are clinically appropriate, cost-effective, and result in positive patient outcomes (Polit & Beck, 2018).  EBP is a process that involves asking an answerable clinical question (PICOT), searching for relevant research-based evidence, appraising and synthesizing the evidence, integrating the evidence with clinical expertise and patient preferences, and assessing the effectiveness of actions (Polit & Beck, 2018).  The effects must always be assessed for the actual outcome and if adjustments need to be made for a given population or location.  According to Polit & Beck (2018), a study by Shah and colleagues (2016) regarding the implementation of 2% chlorhexidine gluconate (CHG) bathing for intensive care unit (ICU) patients to prevent central line-associated bloodstream infections (CLABSI) EBP concluded that this implementation was effective in prevention.  Therefore, the nursing practice adopted HCG bathing for all patients with central lines as a proven EBP measure to prevent CLABSI (Polit & Beck, 2018).  However, EBP takes an average of 17 years to transfer from evidence to practice, in an effort to reduce translation time, translation and implementation science have been developed to aid in the more timely implementation of new knowledge into practice (Tucker, 2019).  The faster the translation time the more beneficial the implementation can be when applied at the bedside. 

 
Topic 1 DQ 1

I have decided in enroll in the BSN program at this time because I have big dreams and high goals. I plan on getting my S.A.N.E certificate, or Sexual Assault Nurse Examiner certificate, after completing my degree. It is not required, but I want to be more secure in my nursing career before I start down that path. After my BSN is obtained, and my S.A.N.E certificate is done, I plan on going back to school for my Master’s in Forensic Nursing. I am a determined person, and know I will complete this task, but it does not come with reservations. Going back to school will prove to be difficult, because I am working full time and a single mother of two little boys. My support system where I live is small, but it is strong. Time management and starting assignments in plenty of time will be essential for me.

1. An introduction that explains the focus of the article.
2. A summary of key points of the article.
3. A list of the steps taken by nursing to develop and implement an EBP.
4. Application of the learned information to a practice setting where the student either identifies an EBP that has been applied to your setting or a practice problem that would benefit from the implementation of an EBP.
5. A clear and concise conclusion.

Healthy People 2020

The Affordable Care Act was signed into law in  the spring of 2010 and was followed later in the year by the launch of a  10-year agenda for improving the Nation’s health: Healthy People 2020.  According to the Office of Disease Prevention and Health Promotion, a  department of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, the  initiative is intended, in part, to help identify national health  improvement priorities, strengthen policies and improve practices,  achieve health equity and improve the health of all groups  (https://www.healthypeople.gov/2020/About-Healthy-People).  

Information available at the following links will be used in the preparation of this assignment:

• 2020 Leading Health Indicator Topics https://www.healthypeople.gov/2020/leading-health-indicators/2020-LHI-Topics 
• Who’s Leading the Leading Health Indicators? https://www.healthypeople.gov/2020/LHI/whosleading.aspx 
• Public Health 3.0 https://www.healthypeople.gov/2020/tools-resources/public-health-3 
• County Health Rankings & Roadmaps website located at http://www.countyhealthrankings.org/ 

Select your state on the County Health Rankings & Roadmaps website:

• Review the most recent state Summary Report (Downloads tab)  
• Review the Health Gaps Report for your state, paying close attention to the Highlighted Health Gaps section that are considered to be meaningful gaps that policymakers and leaders may want to examine more closely.

Prepare a report discussing the meaningful health gaps in your state  and how health policies supporting community and national health can  help close those gaps. Your report should also include a discussion of  differences in health outcomes and health factors between the county  ranked #1 in your state and the one ranked the lowest, suggesting county  health policies that could help improve the ranking of the latter.  Finally, your report should conclude with a summary of how public  policies support community and national health.
 

The body of the  report should be 3-4 pages, excluding the title page and references  page. The County Health Rankings and the Health Gaps Report must be  listed on the references page along with any other references you use in  preparing the report. Use the following format for these required  references:
