Preparing the Discussion

Follow these guidelines when completing each component of the discussion. Contact your course faculty if you have questions.

General Instructions

Over the next eight weeks, you will learn more about integrating evidence into practice by designing an evidence-based practice project. This project is comprised of related assignments. This week, you will identify a client-focused clinical problem for which a nurse practitioner (NP) could advocate for an evidence-based practice (EBP) change. You will conduct a literature review to determine what is currently known about the problem so that you will be able to develop a concise question for next week’s assignment.

  2. Describe the scope and impact of the problem. 
  3. Discuss the role of the NP in addressing the problem. 
  4. Explain why the problem is of interest to you.
