Course Outcomes

This assignment enables the student to meet the following Course Outcome.

CO #8: Discuss the value of best evidence as a driving force to institute change in delivery of nursing care. (PO #8)

Directions

A. Use Microsoft PowerPoint to create four slides, which will be the basis of the guide or handout. You are encouraged to cite your source(s) as it relates to your criteria slide. Other citations are permitted, but this is not a requirement for the assignment.

1) Scenario Slide: This slide should include your name. Next, outline a brief scenario, then identify a patient who is seeking information about a specific disease process or diagnosis. Be sure to include the nurse’s assessment of learning needs and the patient or family member’s readiness to learn. Be specific.

Example:

Scenario for Mr. Jones

Jane Doe (your name here)

· Mr. Jones is a 54-year-old male recently diagnosed with pancreatic cancer.

· His wife has accompanied him to the oncologist’s office.

· Both have a high school education.

· Mr. Jones has no interest in his diagnosis; his father died at an early age from pancreatic cancer, and he thinks nothing can be done.

· Mrs. Jones is greatly interested in any treatment; she has been searching on the Internet for alternative cures.

· Mrs. Jones has asked the nurse for help on how to determine whether a website is credible.

2) Criteria Slide: This slide should address at least four criteria used to evaluate websites. View Evaluating Internet Health Information: A Tutorial from the National Library of Medicine at http://www.nlm.nih.gov/medlineplus/webeval/webeval_start.html, your text, and other references. The task is to explain how to determine the credibility of websites and teach it to the patient and/or caregiver described in the Scenario Slide. Concentrate on evaluation of information, not how to search. Assume that the patient or caregiver has basic Internet searching skills, a computer in the home, and can enter words in the query box in a search engine, such as Google, Bing, Yahoo, and so forth. The idea is to teach your patients how to evaluate websites (suspect and credible) as they relate to a specific disease process or diagnosis.

The format of the criteria should be logical and easy to read, for example, a table, checklist, or Q & A. Be creative! Language should be appropriate for the educational level of the audience, in other words, the patient and/or caregiver as described in the Scenario Slide. Note: This is the only slide that requires a citation.

Review the resources that this search yields in order to gather information on possible countries where the company could expand. Compare the information you locate from GlobalTrade.net against the Market Research Database from U.S. Commercial Services located at http://www.buyusa.gov/ (Copy/Paste this link to your browser- Be sure to use Google Chrome or Firefox as your browser).
