Week 7: Applying and Sharing Evidence to Practice After the data have been analyzed, conclusions are made regarding what the findings mean. Then, this information must be shared with your healthcare team. 1. Choose one of the articles from the Week 5 RRL assignment, and discuss the findings.

Review information you found y...

Week 5: Data Collection and Measurement Professor and Class, Secondary data is data that has already been collected from other sources (Houser, 2018). Acquiring secondary data for research is generally much easier, it saves time and money. It can also help make primary data collection more specific since it can help us make out what gaps or deficiencies there are and what additional information is still needed. I think the data in the ANA fast facts present information to help nurses perhaps ...

Week 1: Role of Research and the Importance of the Searchable Clinical Question Professor and Class, To fully implement evidence-based practice, nurses need to have both a spirit of inquiry and a culture that supports it. “Nursing research strives to understand phenomena that impact health, seeks solutions to problems, tests approaches to improving nursing care, and generates new knowledge to further our profession (CCN, 2018).” Asking questions is so important to continue...

Week 6: Data Results and Analysis Professor and Class, It is important to understand how to interpret research results, I think this can be a little tricky sometimes and it does take some time to learn.
