Question descriptionThe first step of the EBP process is to develop a question from the nursing practice problem of interest.
Select a practice problem of interest to use as the focus of your research.
Start with the patient and identify the clinical problems or issues that arise from clinical care.
Following the PICOT format, write a PICOT statement in your selected practice problem area of interest, which is applicable to your proposed capstone project.
The PICOT statement will provide a framework for your capstone project (the project students must complete during their final course in the RN-BSN program of study).
Conduct a literature search to locate research articles focused on your selected practice problem of interest. This literature search should include both quantitative and qualitative peer-reviewed research articles to support your practice problem.
Select six peer-reviewed research articles which will be utilized through the next 5 weeks as reference sources. Be sure that some of the articles use qualitative research and that some use quantitative research. Create a reference list in which the six articles are listed. Beneath each reference include the article’s abstract. The completed assignment should have a title page and a reference list with abstracts.
Suggestions for locating qualitative and quantitative research articles from credible sources:

1. Use a library database such as CINAHL Complete for your search.
2. Using the advanced search page check the box beside “Research Article” in the “Limit Your Results” section.
3. When setting up the search you can type your topic in the top box, then add quantitative or qualitative as a search term in one of the lower boxes. Research articles often are described as qualitative or quantitative.

To narrow/broaden your search, remove the words qualitative and quantitative and include words that narrow or broaden your main topic. For example: Diabetes and pediatric and dialysis. To determine what research design was used, review the abstract and the methods section of the article. The author will provide a description of data collection using qualitative or quantitative methods.
Prepare this assignment according to the guidelines found in the APA Style Guide, located in the Student Success Center. An abstract is not required.
This assignment uses a rubric. Please review the rubric prior to beginning the assignment to become familiar with the expectations for successful completion.
You are not required to submit this assignment to Turnitin.

ASSIGNMENT INSTRUCTIONS

Using APA format and supporting current (within the last 5 years) sources , answer each of the following questions (formatting them under a discreet heading-DO NOT Number) the following items with substantive responses. Each narrative response should be at least 100 words. Your responses should include citation to a credible source. Your paper will include a title page and reference list. The writing rubric will be utilized to grade the paper. Note: TurnitIn will be utilized to ensure originality of the paper.

1. Many patients use alternative and herbal medications as part of their medication regime, with or without the knowledge of their healthcare provider. Discuss some of the patient safety issues that can arise with the use of these medications or herbal remedies.

1. Adams, Holland & Urban (2014) discuss several specific patient populations in which particular considerations need to be taken into account when considering pharmaceutical interventions. Select two of these (pregnant, lactating, peds, etc.) and indicate what factors the nurse must consider in the pharmaceutical nursing plan.

1. What do you see as some of the ethical issues related to current genomics/genetics research? Discuss these issues and their impact on healthcare and nursing practice.

1. Adams, Holland & Urban (2014) state that “although non-Caucasians comprise more than 25% of the U.S. health population, modern clinical pharmacology has been based largely on research and clinical experiences with Caucasians”. Discuss some of the concerns and patient safety issues related to this fact.

1. ANA Standard of Professional Practice for Genetics XIII states that “the genetics nurse integrates research findings into practice”. What are specific ways that practicing nurses can achieve this standard of practice?

1. Discuss how cultural rituals or practices that are preferred by some patients and their families can impact the care the nurses provide to them at the end of life.

1. Quality of life is one determinant that patients use in making decisions about their care. How would you assist your patients in making these important decisions? What are some of the factors that you would encourage them to consider, etc.?

1. The use of sophisticated technology in healthcare continues to increase. Discuss both the benefits of this, access to new technologies and the issues that arise with its use.

1. Nursing care plans can vary, but there are some essential components that should be included in all of them. Identify these components, why they are significant, and how nurses can use the information to improve care for their patients.
2. There exists an opioid epidemic (prescription and heroin abuse) across the nation. According to the Center for Disease Control (CDC, 2016), deaths from opioid overdoses are on the rise (by an astounding 200% since 2001) and purportedly kill more Americans each year than automobile accidents. Discuss the new legislation addressing the epidemic and the CDC’s and other professional group nation-wide education initiatives (include those from Nursing and other Healthcare professional groups). Summarize the CDC’s and other professional groups plans/recommendations to address this serious problem. Is there one group of the population (gender, ethnicity, age, and/or geographical locations) that is more affected by this epidemic and why?
