Nr439 Week 7: Applying and Sharing Evidence to Practice

This week’s graded discussion topic relates to the following Course Outcomes (COs).

• CO1 Examine the sources of evidence that contribute to professional nursing practice. (PO 7)
• CO2 Apply research principles to the interpretation of the content of published research studies. (POs 4 and 8)
• CO4 Evaluate published nursing research for credibility and lab significance related to evidence-based practice. (POs 4 and 8)
• CO5 Recognize the role of research findings in evidence-based practice. (POs 7 and 8)

After the data have been analyzed, conclusions are made regarding what the findings mean. Then, this information must be shared with your healthcare team.

1. Choose one of the articles from the Week 5 RRL assignment, and discuss the findings. Would you apply the evidence found to your practice? Explain your answer.
2. Translating research into practice is the final and most important step in the research process. Review information you found your nursing clinical issue and explain ways in which you would share the research-based evidence with your peers.
