Evidence-based practice (EBP) refers to making decisions about patient care that are based on the best evidence produced by well-designed clinical research. Numerous studies have suggested evidence-based care of patients can reduce patient complications and decrease healthcare costs by as much as 30{0e601fc7fe3603dc36f9ca2f49ef4cd268b5950ef1bbcf1f795cc00e94cdd119}. Obstacles to incorporating changes such as those consistent with EBP are present within every organization. Resistance from nursing leaders and other barriers prevent nurses from implementing EBP that improve patient outcomes. Please consider an institution where you are currently employed or one that you have worked with in the past. What obstacles are present? What can you do to confront and overcome these obstacles?

theory. You are allowed to use other resources or the suggested
textbook found in the syllabus. What are the components of this
theory? Major concepts of theory Philosophical basis/underpinnings;
worldview Conceptual model (if available) Identify an area of your
practice where this theory could be applied. The area may be used
to theory test, theory generate, etc. What is the question that the
theory will help to answer? Describe the area of interest in
relationship to the theory/theoretical model. Why or how is it
appropriate to use this theory. Discuss the use of theory in
pursuing this area of interest. What are the steps /methods that
you might use?Nursing Theory Critique

The assessment tasks requires you to:
1. Identify and discuss two (2) signs or symptoms of clinical deterioration associated with the presenting problem, from chosen case study. This discussion should consider the potential impact of case study data (e.g. pathology results, past medical history) on the health status of the patient in the chosen case.
2. Following on from your presented discussion associated with point one (1), develop a clinical plan of care which identifies:

Discuss three (3) nursing interventions that directly address the identified clinical priority. The discussion should refer to relevant clinical assessments. Measurable outcome parameters for each intervention will be discussed to justify the intervention and evaluate its efficacy. Discussion is to be supported with contemporary research.

Characteristics of Good Interviewers and Disparate Treatment

/in /by

“Recruitment Methods”  Please respond to the following:
· Develop a brief plan to recruit for 20 nursing positions for your organization, using both internal and external recruiting sources. Justify the different resources you will use for this plan. Provide specific examples to support your rationale.
· Analyze two ethical and legal considerations in using standardized interviews or employment tests that assess aptitude, attitude, honesty, and personality during the selection process. Provide specific examples to support your rationale.

4a. “Characteristics of Good Interviewers and Disparate Treatment”  Please respond to the following:
· Compile two examples of the worst interviews you ever had. Determine key factors that made these interviews stand out negatively compared to other interviews you have had. Next, recommend three best practices for interviewers to avoid interviewing mistakes.
· A health care organization wants to hire 100 medical technicians, and of the 250 applicants that apply, 125 are male and 125 are female—all equally qualified. The organization hires 80 of the male applicants and 20 of the female applicants. Using Table 4.8, analyze whether or not disparate treatment exists in this hypothetical organization. Provide examples to support your rationale.

4b. “Health Care Professionals and Allied Health Professionals”  Please respond to the following:
· Analyze two career options in the health care industry, in terms of the educational requirements, job responsibilities, and average salaries.
· From the e-Activity, discuss two differences between health care professionals and allied health care professionals. Provide specific examples to support your rationale.

4b. “Nursing Shortages”  Please respond to the following:
· Suggest two factors that are contributing to the current state of the nursing industry in the U.S. Focus on both internal and external influences. Provide specific examples to support your rationale.
· Analyze two issues that contribute to the current nursing shortage in the U.S., and propose a strategy to rectify this employment issue.
