Homework: EBP/Best Practices
In this homework, you will refer back to homework you completed in previous weeks, as this homework will build upon it. You'll be providing a solution to a clinical problem using the EBP process.
For this homework, you will create a 13 to 16 slides PowerPoint, excluding the title and reference slides, covering the items below. This should be a high-level overview of what you've already discussed in your papers. Be sure to summarize your information (do not simply copy and paste).
1) Describe the select EBP problem
2) List the created PICOT question
3) Provide a high-level overview of the articles you found, organizing them by design (i.e.; qualitative, quantitative, mixed methods)
4) Summarize the search strategy you used to locate the articles.
5) Discuss what changes could be made as a result of these findings
6) Describe strategies and resources you would use to implement a change based on these findings
7) Describe areas of opportunity for future research and EBP related to your topic
8) Provide a conclusion and discussion of next steps
This should be a high-level overview of what you've already discussed in your papers. Be sure to summarize your information (do not simply copy and paste from previous papers). Your PowerPoint slides should be bullet points and/or images and not paragraphs of text. Descriptions and explanations will be written in the "speaker notes" section of the PowerPoint slides. In other words, use the "notes" section to write out what you would say if you were presenting the slides to a live audience.
You will be graded on presentation and layout. Be sure to not overcrowd your slides (follow the 7x7 Rule- No more than 7 bullet points per slide and no more than 7 words per bullet point). Finally, your background should be consistent throughout, and ensure your slides are readable. Do not use too many graphics either.
Format your homework according to the following formatting requirements:
(1) The answer should be typed, double spaced, using Times New Roman font (size 12), with one-inch margins on all sides.
(2) The response also includes a cover page containing the title of the homework, the student's name, the course title, and the date. The cover page is not included in the required page length.
(3) Also include a reference page. The Citations and references should follow APA format. The reference page is not included in the required page length.
