Purpose Collaborative identification and interpretation of practice problems is a requirement of professional practice (AACN, 2008).  Locating and summarizing findings using credible online databases is necessary for evidence-based nursing (AACN, 2008; QSEN, 2018).   This assignment provides a learning activity for students to experience a practice-based scenario and apply a process worksheet designed to assist in the identification of an independent nursing problem or concern, develop a PICOT clinical question, and search  for evidence using credible online databases/sources. This assignment enables the student to meet the following Course Outcomes. 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 & 8) CO4: Evaluate published nursing research for credibility and significance related to evidence-based practice. (POs 4 & 8) CO5: Recognize the role of research findings in evidence-based practice. (POs 7 & 8) Your Chief Nurse Executive (CNE) recognizes you are pursuing your BSN and has asked you to be a member of the nursing evidence-based practice (NEBP) committee. She has advised the members that the purpose is to conduct nursing research studies involving  clinical practice problems. Increasing nurses’ awareness of quality and safety concerns will develop an attitude of inquiry and asking questions (Sherwood & Barnsteiner, 2017). Baccalaureate nurses “collaborate in problem identification, participate in  the process of search, retrieval, and documentation of evidence, and integrate evidence using credible databases and internet resources” (AACN, 2008, pp. 16-17). The CNE has advised all members of the following areas of and clinical practice that each committee member needs to consider and choose as a priority area for conducting a research study. Sources of research problems come from nursing clinical practice (Houser, 2018): Errors. Examples include: Healthcare Associated Infections (HAIs).    Examples include: Your CNE has requested that you select and complete the PPE Worksheet using only topic area. The committee will collaborate and decide as a team which nursing clinical problem area will be the priority  focus of their next research study. you for your valuable contributions to this important NEBP committee.
