The guidelines and rubric (explaining how you will be graded) are listed below, as well as in the Documents section of Course Resources. This is a Turnitin assignment that is required for this course.

Purpose of NR 505 Week 5 Assignment:

This assignment allows the student to continue developing an MSN EBP scholarly project that began with the identification of a nursing concern and PICOT/PICo question in Week 2. The purpose of this assignment is to discuss the research-based literature support for the chosen concern, to identify an appropriate research design, to explain the sampling method, and to discuss implementation using a change model.

Welcome to class

Hello class and welcome to the class and I will be your instructor for this course. This is a -week course and requires a lot of time commitment, organization, and a high level of dedication. Please use the class syllabus to guide you through all the assignments required for the course. I have also attached the classroom policies to this announcement to know your expectations for this course. Please review this document carefully and ask me any questions if you do. You could email me at any time or send me a message via the “message” icon in halo if you need to contact me. I check my email regularly, so you should get a response within 24 hours. If you have not heard from me within 24 hours and need to contact me urgently, please send a follow up text to

I strongly encourage that you do not wait until the very last minute to complete your assignments. Your assignments in weeks 4 and 5 require early planning as you would need to present a teaching plan and interview a community health provider. I advise you look at the requirements for these assignments at the beginning of the course and plan accordingly. I have posted the YouTube link that explains all the class assignments in detail. It is required that you watch this 32-minute video as the assignments from week 3 through 5 require that you follow the instructions to the letter to succeed. Failure to complete these assignments according to instructions might lead to a zero. After watching the video, please schedule a one-on-one with me to discuss your topic for your project by the second week of class. Use this link to schedule a 15-minute session. Please, call me at the time of your appointment on my number. Please note that I will NOT call you.

Please, be advised I do NOT accept any assignments by email. If you are having technical issues with uploading an assignment, contact the technical department and inform me of the issue. If you have any issues that would prevent you from getting your assignments to me by the deadline, please inform me to request a possible extension. Note that working fulltime or overtime is no excuse for late assignments. There is a 5%-point deduction for every day your assignment is late. This only applies to approved extensions. Late assignments will not be accepted.

If you think you would be needing accommodations due to any reasons, please contact the appropriate department to request accommodations.

Plagiarism is highly prohibited. Please ensure you are citing your sources correctly using APA 7th edition. All assignments including discussion posts should be formatted in APA with the appropriate spacing, font, margin, and indents. Any papers not well formatted would be returned back to you, hence, I advise you review APA formatting style. I have attached a sample paper in APA format and will also post sample discussion responses in subsequent announcements.

Your initial discussion post should be a minimum of 200 words and response posts should be a minimum of 150 words. Be advised that I grade based on quality and not necessarily the number of words you post. A minimum of TWO references should be used for your initial post. For your response post, you do not need references as personal experiences would count as response posts. If you however cite anything from the literature for your response post, it is required that you cite your reference. You should include a minimum of THREE references for papers in this course. Please note that references should be no more than 5 years old except recommended as a resource for the class. Furthermore, for each discussion board question, you need ONE initial substantive response and TWO substantive responses to either your classmates or your instructor for a total of THREE responses. There are TWO discussion questions each week, hence, you need a total minimum of SIX discussion posts for each week. I usually post a discussion question each week. You could also respond to these as it would count towards your required SIX discussion posts for the week.

I understand this is a lot of information to cover in 5 weeks, however, the Bible says in Philippians 4:13 that we can do all things through Christ that strengthens us. Even in times like this, we are encouraged by God’s word that we have that ability in us to succeed with His strength. I pray that each and every one of you receives strength for this course and life generally as we navigate through this pandemic that is shaking our world today. Relax and enjoy the course!

Requirements for NR 505 Week 5 Assignment

Description of the Assignment: This assignment continues the development of an MSN EBP scholarly project by requiring the student to identify additional process elements. The following elements are required:

Supporting Literature (NOTE: Fifteen research-based references related to the PICOT/PICo question are required).
Sampling Intervention as a Research Approach and Design

Content Evaluation Criteria

Comprehensive research literature support for the identified nursing concern and PCIOT/PICo question is to be provided in this section. There must be a minimum of fifteen (15) research-based references. The use of a systematic review article as a reference is NOT permitted.

A description of the chosen design, as well as the rationale for its selection, must be provided. Furthermore, one advantage and one disadvantage of the chosen design must be identified and discussed. The following information is required:
-Determination of whether the student intends to conduct quantitative or qualitative research.
-Determination of the selected quantitative research design by indicating whether it is experimental, quasi-experimental, or descriptive.
-Identification of the chosen qualitative design by indicating whether it is phenomenological, ethnographic, grounded theory, or historical. -Description of the chosen design.
-The rationale for the chosen design
-Identify one advantage of the chosen design -Identify one disadvantage of the chosen design -Provide scholarly reference(s) to back up information about the chosen research approach/design

Sampling: The student will identify the sampling method to be used in order to obtain the necessary participants for the proposed EBP project in this section. There is also a discussion of the rights of participants as research subjects. The following information is required:
-Describe the intended audience.
-Determine whether the sampling method is probability or nonprobability.
-Include a detailed description of the sampling procedure, such as:
the number of samples

-Utilize each step of the PDSA Change Model to put the proposed practice solution/change into action.
