Assignment: Conscious Integration
Question Description
Evidence-based practice is defined as the deliberate integration of best research evidence, clinical expertise, and patient values and needs in the delivery of high-quality, low-cost care.
Nurses can use a PICO format to better articulate their clinical questions and search for answers to those questions.
The IOWA model can be used to assist nurses in understanding how to find answers to clinical questions and in searching for those
answers.
Clinical practice guidelines are statements or recommendations that are systematically developed to link research and practice and serve as a guide for practitioners. They serve as a link between practice and research.
Magnet hospitals (or those that have achieved it) incorporate evidence-based practice into nursing care. THE IOWA MODEL MUST BE USED.
A total of four resources must be used.
You should proofread your paper. However, do not rely solely on your computer’s spell-checker and grammar-checker; failure to do so indicates a lack of effort on your part, and your grade will suffer as a result. Papers with a high number of misspelled words and grammatical errors will be penalized. Before submitting your paper, go over it in silence and then aloud, and make any necessary changes. It is often beneficial to have a friend proofread your paper for obvious errors. Uncorrected mistakes are preferable to handwritten corrections.
Use a standard 10 to 12 point typeface (10 to 12 characters per inch). Smaller or compressed type, as well as papers with narrow margins or single spacing, are difficult to read. It is preferable to allow your essay to exceed the recommended number of pages rather than attempting to compress it into fewer pages.
Large type, large margins, large indentations, triple-spacing, increased leading (space between lines), increased kerning (space between letters), and other such attempts at “padding” to increase the length of a paper are also unacceptable, waste trees, and will not fool your professor.
The paper must be neatly formatted, double-spaced, and have a one-inch margin on all four sides of each page. When submitting hard copies, use white paper and print with dark ink. It will be difficult to follow your argument if it is difficult to read your essay.
