Throughout this course you have focused on practice problems to address in applying nursing and interdisciplinary theories, and in the A cell structure application of evidence-based practice for quality improvement. This week you begin exploring the components of evidence-based practice by framing a practice problem as a critical question. You will begin a search of the literature for evidence to answer the question and inform a practice change for quality improvement.
Identify the practice problem as the focus of your Discussion post.
Cast your practice problem as a critical question.
Search 2–3 scholarly articles that address your critical question.
Analyze the articles to identify evidence that would guide quality improvement.
Post a brief explanation of your critical question. Then, summarize the 2–3 articles you identified that address your critical question. Using the same language you would use with stakeholders, explain the critical question and the value of addressing it as a quality improvement initiative. Be specific. Cite the scholarly articles and other resources to support your post.
