Develop a 2-4 page scholarly paper in which you describe the diagnosis you researched
for the previous assessment, and then identify and analyze credible evidence that could
be used as the basis for applying EBP to the issue.

Introduction
The goal of using evidence-based research findings is to enhance safety and quality of
patient care and ensure optimal outcomes are achieved. It is not uncommon to hear a
nurse say, “why change it as we’ve always done it this way.” However, this is no longer
acceptable in today’s practice environment. The profession of nursing has evolved, and
the expectation is that the professional nurse has a scientific foundation to support the
care that is provided. As the profession of nursing continues to evolve and engage in
health care transformation, baccalaureate-prepared nurses are expanding taking on
leadership roles that include incorporating EBPs. To be able to do this, the nurse needs
to understand the criteria and makes a resource credible, as this is crucial when
deciding if the research is valid and reliable for implementation into health care settings.
The nurse will need to incorporate the use of evidence-based practice models. EBP
models are designed to assist the nurse in developing a plan to gather evidence to
answer a practice problem or question. It is a systematic approach to direct the user to
incorporate scholarly findings into current practice. These EBP models lead the nurse
through the decision-making process of evaluating the literature to determine the best
practice evidence for the practice issue or question.

It would be an excellent choice to complete the Vila Health Determining the Credibility of
Evidence activity prior to developing the report. The activity is a media simulation that
offers an opportunity to review a scenario and work on determining the credibility of
presented evidence. These skills will be necessary to complete Assessment 2
successfully. This media simulation is one potential source of context on which to base
your assessment submission. This will take just a few minutes of your time and is not
graded.
Professional Context
As a baccalaureate-prepared nurse, you will be responsible for locating and identifying
credible and scholarly resources to incorporate the best available evidence for the
purposes of enhancing clinical reasoning and judgement skills. When reliable and
relevant evidence-based findings are utilized, patients, health care systems, and
nursing practice outcomes are positively impacted.
Scenario
For this assessment, use the specific diagnosis/health issue you selected for the first
assessment.
Instructions
The purpose of this analysis is to better understand what constitutes credibility of journal
articles as well as websites. The role of the baccalaureate-prepared nurse in
incorporating evidence-based research continues to growth in clinical practice. As
quality improvement (QI) measures to reduce safety risks continue to be emphasized,
the need for evidence-based models and evidence-based templates is growing. This
3
type of systematic approach to incorporating evidence-based findings allows nurses to
make clinical and operational decisions based upon the best available evidence. When
the most up-to-date evidence-based findings are utilized, patient-centered care
improves outcomes and enhances the patient experience.
Below is a quick review table of several well-known Evidence-Based Practice Models
used to guide exploration:
Iowa Model of Evidence-Based Practice
Stetler Model
Ottawa Model
PARiHS (Promoting Action on Research Implementation in
Health Services) Model
ACE (Academic Center for Evidence-Based Practice) Star Model
ARCC (Advancing Research and Clinical Practice Through Close
Collaboration) Mode
John Hopkins Model
KTA (Knowledge-to-Action) Model
For this assessment:
4
● Explain the criteria that should be used when determining the credibility of
journal articles as well as websites.
● Support your explanations with references to the literature or research articles
that describe criteria that should be used to determine credibility.
○ Your identification and determination of credibility should be done
within the context of your chosen diagnosis for this assessment.
Your initial identification of resources should be of resources that
will best help address the presented diagnosis you selected. Since
you are locating resources to help provide evidence-based care for
the diagnosis/health care issue you identified in the first
assessment, you may want to begin your literature and evidence
search from the databases that were identified.
Be sure to address the following in this assessment, which correspond to the grading
criteria in the scoring guide. Please study the scoring guide carefully so that you will
know what is needed for a distinguished score.
● Describe a chosen diagnosis that could benefit from an evidence-based
approach.
● Explain criteria that should be considered when determining credibility of
resources such as journal articles and websites.
● Analyze the credibility and relevance of evidence and resources within the
context of a chosen diagnosis.
○ This is where you are selecting the specific resources to help
address the diagnosis you selected for the first assessment.
5
● Identify the Evidence-Based Practice model and explain the importance of
incorporating credible evidence into the EBP model used to address a chosen
diagnosis. Review the literature below and choose the appropriate model for
your diagnosis.
○ Selecting a model for evidence-based practice changes. [PDF] and
Evidence-Based Practice Models help explain the various
evidence-based nursing models.
● Communicate using writing that is clear, logical, and professional with correct
grammar and spelling using current APA style.
Additional Requirements
Your assessment should meet the following requirements:
● Length of submission: 2-4-page scholarly paper, this does not include the

from a historical perspective as it relates to nursing in the
educational and practice domains. The concept of evidence-based
practice is defined, and the similarities and differences to
evidence-based medicine discussed. It is crucial that registered
nurses be proactive in their quest for research knowledge, so the

technological advances are all ways in which nursing can move
forward as a well-informed discipline.
