- Guidelines for EVIDENCE-BASED PRACTICE PAPER
- Topic: Development of an Evidence-Based Nursing Practice Guideline Scholarly paper about your suggested guideline. Your topic is a nursing focused topic of interest to you that is relevant to your practice setting. Your paper will include sections on
- You will:
- Research and appraise the relevant evidence related to the question for the guideline. You will need additional articles to support your proposed change in additions to the articles you will utilize in developing the APPENDICES. See rubric for more information. Note: You develop the individual Evidence Appendix which requires 2 references for each level of evidence (Dang & Dearholt model).
- Synthesize and discuss the readings and your research findings related to the nursing practice question and the resulting guideline.
- You must address the topics in the grade rubric including the required tables and barriers to implementation in practice. Evidence of synthesis of knowledge gained is expected in the paper.
- Follow APA 7th edition guidelines for paper, citations, references, and appendices.
Appendix A : Individual Evidence Summary
EBP QUESTION: In males with urinary inconsistencies, dementia, an overactive bladder, or even those going through alcohol withdrawal, what is the effect of condom catheterization as compared to the use of Foley catheterization on the prevention of CAUTIs a condition referred to as Catheter-Associated Urinary Tract Infections (CAUTIs)?
