Assignment Prompt & Instructions

As a practicing nurse, your work environment provides you with an opportunity to utilize evidence to change your practice and/or the practice in your clinical situation. Reliable evidence is generated through research, and new discoveries can be used in clinical decision-making or to improve the delivery of care.

In this assignment, you will explore a concern you have noted at your workplace, design a problem statement, and locate research evidence that provides a solution to that problem. You will locate a research article that addresses the problem statement, summarize the evidence, and explain how it relates to and possibly solves the problem. This is a tangible skill that, once acquired, you can use within your current practice.

**Identify** a clinical problem or a gap in practice. This may be the problem identified in this week’s discussion or a different one that you have experienced in your workplace.

**Locate** at least 1 peer-reviewed article related to the clinical problem or practice gap you identified.

**Write** a 400-word summary of the research article. In your summary:

– Include the title and an APA-formatted reference for the article.
– Write the problem statement.
– Summarize the evidence.
– Explain how the recommendations and evidence from the study provide best practices for your problem statement.

**Cite** all sources used to support your problem statement and best practice recommendation.

**Format** all citations and references according to APA guidelines.
