Grand Canyon University NRS-490 Professional Capstone and Practicum Assessment 3: Evidence-Based Practice Proposal<\/h1>\n

Course Overview<\/h2>\n

This assessment forms part of the NRS-490 course at Grand Canyon University, focusing on integrating nursing knowledge through a capstone project. Students apply evidence-based practice to address real-world healthcare challenges in nursing settings.<\/p>\n

Assignment Instructions<\/h2>\n

In this assessment, develop a proposal for an evidence-based practice change in a nursing or healthcare setting. Identify a clinical problem observed during practicum hours, review relevant literature, and propose an intervention supported by data. Ensure the proposal aligns with ethical standards and promotes patient safety.<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Select a clinical issue related to patient care, such as medication errors, infection control, or patient education in a healthcare facility.<\/li>\n
  2. Conduct a literature review using at least five peer-reviewed sources published within the last five years.<\/li>\n
  3. Outline the proposed change, including implementation steps, expected outcomes, and evaluation methods.<\/li>\n
  4. Incorporate interprofessional collaboration and consider cultural factors impacting the proposal.<\/li>\n
  5. Submit the proposal as a formatted document, including an abstract, introduction, body, conclusion, and references.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Length Requirements<\/h3>\n

    The proposal must be 1,050 to 1,400 words, excluding references and appendices. Use APA style for formatting, citations, and references.<\/p>\n

    Submission Guidelines<\/h3>\n

    Upload the completed proposal to the course dropbox by the due date. Late submissions incur penalties per university policy. Include a title page and ensure originality through LopesWrite check.<\/p>\n

    Grading Rubric<\/h2>\n
      \n
    • Problem Identification (20%)<\/strong>: Clearly defines the clinical issue with supporting data.<\/li>\n
    • Literature Review (25%)<\/strong>: Analyzes relevant sources and synthesizes evidence effectively.<\/li>\n
    • Proposal Development (30%)<\/strong>: Details intervention, implementation, and evaluation with feasibility.<\/li>\n
    • Ethical and Cultural Considerations (15%)<\/strong>: Integrates ethics, collaboration, and cultural sensitivity.<\/li>\n
    • Writing and APA Style (10%)<\/strong>: Demonstrates clear writing, proper formatting, and error-free mechanics.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

      Total: 100%. A minimum score of 76% is required to pass; remediation may apply for lower scores.<\/p>\n

      \u00a0Nurses often encounter high rates of hospital-acquired infections in acute care settings, which can extend patient stays and increase costs. One effective intervention involves implementing a bundle of practices, such as hand hygiene protocols and environmental cleaning checklists, backed by studies showing a 30% reduction in infections. Evaluating this change through pre- and post-implementation audits ensures sustained improvements in patient outcomes. Collaboration with infection control teams strengthens the proposal’s impact on overall healthcare quality.<\/p>\n
