The presentation must also include the following elements of the proposal:

State the project problem and explain the role of the database in the organization.

Identify database users : Who are they? What are their competencies and background? What training might the database end users need to utilize the database?

Explain which dissemination strategies you would be least inclined to use and explain why. Identify at least two barriers you might encounter when using the dissemination strategies you are most inclined to use.

As your EBP skills grow, you may be called upon to share your expertise with others. While EBP practice is often conducted with unique outcomes in mind, EBP practitioners who share their results can both add to the general body of knowledge and serve as an advocate for the application of EBP.
In this Discussion, you will explore strategies for disseminating EBP within your organization, community, or industry.

To Prepare:
Review the Resources and reflect on the various strategies presented throughout the course that may be helpful in disseminating effective and widely cited EBP.
This may include: unit-level or organizational-level presentations, poster presentations, and podium presentations at organizational, local, regional, state, and national levels, as well as publication in peer-reviewed journals.
Reflect on which type of dissemination strategy you might use to communicate EBP.

Post at least two dissemination strategies you would be most inclined to use and explain why. Explain which dissemination strategies you would be least inclined to use and explain why. Identify at least two barriers you might encounter when using the dissemination strategies you are most inclined to use. Be specific and provide examples. Explain how you might overcome the barriers you identified.

Explain how all four terms in your example work together to form the basis for a testable theory.

Theoretical Foundations

For example, falls in clinical practice is a phenomenon you encounter. The idea that patients with dementia are at greater risk for falls is a related concept. The related proposition is that dementia is related to falling in some way. An underlying assumption is that patients with dementia do not intend to fall.

Another example is the phenomena of death and dying by Dr. Elizabeth Kubler-Ross. Dr. Kubler-Ross identified the concept of death and dying and formalized five stages from the phenomena she observed when interviewing patients and family members.

⦁ Present your example from day-to-day life or your practice experience that includes all four terms.
⦁ Explain how all four terms in your example work together to form the basis for a testable theory.
⦁ Identify a second nursing theory and provide a general overview of the theory.
⦁ Explain how that theory is applied in your current clinical practice.

KUB shows distended loops of bowel + gas patterns, and a moderate rectal fecal mass, but no evidence of free air. She is started on intravenous fluids and a BM protocol with minimal improvement in her symptoms.

Discuss the following:

1. Give 3-5 Differential Diagnoses for this patient

2. What further testing would you perform to obtain your “working” diagnosis?

3. What is your final “working” diagnosis with a complete Management plan

4.What alternative or complementary techniques may benefit this patient both in acute care and for future prevention?
