SLIDE 1: Title Slide Content Requirements:
• NR 505 Week 7 Assignment: Evidence-Based Practice Change PowerPoint
Presentation
• Topic: Diabetes Mellitus
• Student Name, Chamberlain University
• Course: NR505 Advanced Research Methods & Evidence-Based Practice
• Date
• Faculty Name (placeholder) Speaker Notes: Welcome to this comprehensive
evidence-based practice presentation on diabetes mellitus. This presentation
synthesizes current research, clinical guidelines, and implementation science to
propose a practice change that improves glycemic outcomes for adults with type
2 diabetes. As advanced practice nursing students, we must master the EBP
process—from PICOT formulation through sustainability planning—to drive
meaningful clinical improvements. This presentation demonstrates rigorous
application of the Iowa Model and ACE Star Model frameworks. Evidence to

SLIDE 2: Introduction & Background Content Requirements:
• Definition of diabetes mellitus as a chronic metabolic disorder characterized by
hyperglycemia resulting from defects in insulin secretion, insulin action, or both
• Overview of Type 1, Type 2, and gestational diabetes pathophysiology
• Current gap between evidence-based guidelines and clinical practice in diabetes
management
,2
• Rationale for selecting diabetes as the EBP focus: high prevalence, significant
morbidity/mortality, and robust evidence base for interventions
• NR505 relevance: Application of advanced research methods to solve real-world
clinical problems Speaker Notes: Diabetes mellitus represents one of the most
significant public health challenges of the 21st century. Despite decades of
research establishing effective management strategies, a substantial evidence-
practice gap persists. Many patients do not achieve recommended glycemic
targets, receive inadequate diabetes self-management education, or lack access
to continuous glucose monitoring technology. This presentation addresses these
gaps by proposing an evidence-based practice change focused on structured
diabetes self-management education and support (DSMES) integrated with
technology-enabled monitoring. The selection of diabetes aligns with NR505's
emphasis on translating high-quality research into sustainable clinical
improvements. Evidence to Cite: American Diabetes Association Professional

SLIDE 3: PICOT Question Content Requirements:
• Population: Adults aged 18–65 years with Type 2 diabetes mellitus (HbA1c
≥7.5%) in primary care settings
• Intervention: Structured Diabetes Self-Management Education and Support
(DSMES) program (≥10 contact hours) combined with continuous glucose
monitoring (CGM) feedback and telehealth follow-up
• Comparison: Standard diabetes care (routine provider visits and basic
education)
• Outcome: Primary: Reduction in HbA1c by ≥0.5% at 6 months; Secondary:
Improved time-in-range (TIR >70%), diabetes distress scores, and medication
adherence
• Time: 6-month intervention period with 12-month follow-up evaluation
• PICOT formatted as a single, searchable clinical question Speaker Notes: The
PICOT question serves as the foundation for this EBP project: "In adults with
, 3
Type 2 diabetes and suboptimal glycemic control, does a structured DSMES
program with CGM feedback and telehealth follow-up, compared to standard
care, result in greater HbA1c reduction and improved glycemic outcomes over
six months?" This question is specific, measurable, and answerable through
systematic literature review. The population parameters reflect the ADA 2026
recommendation that adults with HbA1c above individualized targets benefit
from intensified self-management support. The intervention combines three
evidence-based components: structured education (≥10 hours per ADA
standards), real-time glucose data from CGM, and ongoing telehealth
reinforcement. The 0.5% HbA1c reduction target is clinically meaningful and
aligns with meta-analytic evidence showing DSMES achieves mean reductions of
0.34–0.61%. Evidence to Cite: Melnyk, B. M., & Fineout-Overholt, E. (2023).

SLIDE 4: Significance of the Problem Content Requirements:
• Diabetes is the 7th leading cause of death in the U.S., with >95,000 direct deaths
annually and nearly 400,000 indirect deaths
• Uncontrolled diabetes leads to microvascular complications (retinopathy,
nephropathy, neuropathy) and macrovascular complications (CVD, stroke)
• Economic burden: Estimated $412.9 billion in total diabetes costs annually
(direct medical: $306.6 billion; indirect: $106.3 billion)
• Only 50–60% of adults with diabetes achieve HbA1c <7% nationally
• Quality gap: Disparities in diabetes outcomes by race/ethnicity, socioeconomic
status, and geographic location
• Nursing implication: Advanced practice nurses are positioned to lead DSMES
implementation and bridge the evidence-practice gap Speaker Notes: The
significance of suboptimal diabetes management extends far beyond individual
patient suffering. Diabetes imposes an enormous economic burden on the U.S.
healthcare system, with costs exceeding $400 billion annually. More critically,
persistent hyperglycemia causes progressive end-organ damage that is largely
