Prepare this assignment as a 1,500-1,750 word paper using the instructor feedback from the Topic 1, 2, and 3 assignments and the guidelines below.
PICOT Statement
use the PICOT statement in the Topic 1 assignment. add 2 more relevant research articles on the specific PICOT topic.
Research Critiques
In the Topic 2 and Topic 3 assignments you completed a qualitative and quantitative research critique. Use the feedback you received from your instructor on these assignments to finalize the critical analysis of the study by making appropriate revisions.
The completed analysis should connect to your identified practice problem of interest that is the basis for your PICOT statement.
Refer to “Research Critique Guidelines.” Questions under each heading should be addressed as a narrative in the structure of a formal paper.
Proposed Evidence-Based Practice Change
Discuss the link between the PICOT statement, the research articles, and the nursing practice problem you identified. Include relevant details and supporting explanation and use that information to propose evidence-based practice changes.
Prepare this assignment according to the APA guidelines found in the APA Style Guide, located in the Student Success Center. An abstract is not required.

1. Write a five to seven page paper. The paper should include basic information about the research article you have chosen to investigate.
2. Format your paper consistent with APA guidelines. Within your paper, please include a minimum of three references (your text may be used as a reference).
1. Identification of the research study: independent and dependent variables
2. Identification of the research study: sample characteristics
3. Identification of the data collection procedures
4. Discuss the results of the study. What was the statistical significance? Were the results meaningful?
5. Identify the study implications. What are the implications of this study for nursing practice, education, or administration? What further questions were raised by this study?
6. Include your own evaluation of the study. In your opinion, was this study done well, and was this an important study for nursing? How could the study have been improved? What are the implications of this study for your practice area?

Identify the impact of this legislation on your nursing practice by choosing two key nursing provisions outlined in the American Nurses Association “Key Provisions Related to Nursing”

The Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (PPACA) was passed into legislation in March of 2010. Identify the impact of this legislation on your nursing practice by choosing two key nursing provisions outlined in the American Nurses Association “Key Provisions Related to Nursing” summary at http://www.rnaction.org/site/DocServer/KeyProvisions_Nursing-PublicLaw.pdf?docID=1241&verID=1. Discuss how these two provisions have impacted, or will impact, your current practice of nursing.

Assignment: Application: Using the Data/Information/Knowledge/Wisdom Continuum Have you ever gone online to search for a journal article on a specific topic? It is amazing to see the large number of journals that are available in the health care field. When you view the library in its entirety, you are viewing untapped data. Until you actually research for your particular topic, there is little structure. Once you have narrowed it down, you have information and once you apply the information, you have knowledge. Eventually, after thoughtful research and diligent practice, you reach the level of wisdom—knowledge applied in meaningful ways. Are there areas in your practice that you believe should be more fully explored? The central aims of nursing informatics are to manage and communicate data, information, knowledge, and wisdom. This continuum represents the overarching structure of nursing informatics. In this Assignment, you develop a research question relevant to your practice area and relate how you would work through the progression from data to information, knowledge, and wisdom. To prepare: 1. Review the information in Figure 6–2 in Nursing Informatics and the Foundation of Knowledge. 2. Develop a clinical question related to your area of practice that you would like to explore. 3. Consider what you currently know about this topic. What additional information would you need to answer the question? 4. Using the continuum of data, information, knowledge, and wisdom, determine how you would go about researching your question.

a. Explore the available databases in the Walden Library. Identify which of these databases you would use to find the information or data you need. b. Once you have identified useful databases, how would you go about finding the most relevant articles and information? c. Consider how you would extract the relevant information from the articles. d. How would you take the information and organize it in a way that was useful? How could you take the step from simply having useful knowledge to gaining wisdom?

Write a 3- to 4-page paper that addresses the following:

1. Summarize the question you developed, and then relate how you would work through the four steps of the data, information, knowledge, wisdom continuum. Be specific. a. Identify the databases and search words you would use. b. Relate how you would take the information gleaned and turn it into usable knowledge. 2. Can informatics be used to gain wisdom? Describe how you would progress from simply having useful knowledge to the wisdom to make decisions about the information you have found during your database search.
