Week 7: Applying and Sharing Evidence

This week’s graded topics relate to the following Course Outcomes (COs).

• CO 1: Examine the sources of evidence that contribute to professional nursing practice. (PO 7)
• CO 2: Apply research principles to the interpretation of the content of published research studies. (POs 4 & 8)

CO 4: Evaluate published nursing research for credibility and significance related to evidence-based practice. (POs 4 & 8)

Application and implications for practice come from the interpretation of meaning from research findings. Communicating and using research evidence is an expectation of a BSN graduate.

• Select and describe one of the conclusions from the required article from the Week 6 assignment that you found interesting and applicable to practice. Describe how you would apply the evidence to improve nursing practice. Explain your answer.

Discuss ways you would disseminate research-based evidence; how would you share with your peers? Include your thoughts on why it is important for you to be involved in communicating and applying nursing research evidence.
