Evidence Based Practice and the APN role
Research and application of evidence-based practice is important to the various roles of the advanced practice nurse (APN). Your readings have described specific outcomes that have been enhanced and which are demonstrated through research findings surrounding the APN role.
In the advance practice area that you are planning to enter (FNP, CRNA, NNP, etc.), or have an interest in, find ONE research article in the literature of the APN role applying evidence-based practice to improve patient or clinical outcomes. The article MUST have been published in the last 10 years. This article, and its identified evidence-based practice will be the primary focus of this assignment.
Articles that are not considered appropriate include any integrative or systematic review, articles written by DNP or PhD students, case study or commentary.
In this summative paper, consider what you have learned about the role of the APN in this course. As you read the article consider the following questions below. You will then be required to fully discuss all questions and support your discussions with evidence from the literature. You may use your text book, articles from the course or additional resources related to your topic. Please do not use websites, this is a scholarly writing piece.
1. Identify ONE chosen article and describe the problem that the APN recognized as a gap/disparity where improvement in quality/outcomes was necessary. What attributes made the APN a good fit to recognize/address the problem? Please use the heading, Description of the problem, for this section. 15 points
2. What was the intervention? What was the direct role of the APN? What attributes helped the APN successfully implement the intervention? Please use the heading, Intervention, for this section. 15 points
3. Discuss challenges that were disclosed in the article. What specific challenges might the APN have encountered in his/her role? How do they relate to challenges discussed in your text/course articles that the APN faces? Are there organizations that support the role? If so, how? Please use the heading, Challenges, for this section. 15 points
4. How were the findings disseminated? Describe where this evidence-based practice led to a model of care or paved the way for further investigation/research. Can you find other articles or presentations that cite the findings of the article? Please use the heading, Dissemination, for this heading. 15 points
5. Scholarly presentation and synthesis throughout paper (this includes grammar, spelling and sentence structure). 15 points
6. Formatting: the paper will be approximately 10 pages (Title page=1, Content= 6-7 pages, References=1-2 pages) 5 points
7. References were published within 10 years, unless a White paper or seminal article on the topic. 10 points
8. Correct use APA in body of paper and in references (7th edition), student version. 5 points
9. Appropriate selection of an article for the assignment. 5 points
Examples of articles to look for when searching the literature:
For example, if you are interested in the role of or enrolled in the Adult Gerontology program the article, Supporting cardiovascular risk reduction in overweight and obese hypertensive patients through DASH diet and lifestyle education by primary care nurse practitioners, authored by Jarl, J., Tolentino, J., James, K., Clark, M., & Ryan, M. (2014). Journal of the American Association of Nurse Practitioners, 26(9), 498-503. doi: 10.1002/2327-6924.12124, describes an intervention utilized among overweight and obese hypertensive patients that encourages Dietary Approaches to Stop Hypertension (DASH) diet and lifestyle changes, designed and led by a primary care nurse practitioner (NP). The article discusses how the NP‐led primary care intervention on diet and lifestyle showed early success in improving the health of overweight and obese hypertensive patients. The article concludes with a discussion regarding how an investment in NP‐led diet and lifestyle counseling should be considered among high‐risk patients in the primary care setting.
Another example, if you are interested in the role of the Family Nurse Practitioner or enrolled in the FNP program the article, Nurse practitioner home-based primary care program improves patient outcomes. Trilla, F., Decastro, T., Harrison, N., Mowry, D., Croke, A., Bicket, M., & Buechner, J. (2018). The Journal for Nurse Practitioners,14(9), e185–e188. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.nurpra.2018.08.003, describes a nurse practitioner-led program that successfully provides primary care in-home. The article discusses trend analyses of 2 cohorts of Medicaid patients that show positive program impact and an immediate and sustained reduction in inpatient admissions and emergency department visits. The intervention also demonstrated a total medical expense per member per month savings beginning in the intervention year and an opportunity to expand to other high-risk fragile populations.

You may use your text book, articles from the course or additional resources related to your topic. Please do not use websites, this is a scholarly writing piece.
1. Identify ONE chosen article and describe the problem that the APN recognized as a gap/disparity where improvement in quality/outcomes was necessary. What attributes made the APN a good fit to recognize/address the problem? Please use the heading, Description of the problem, for this section. 15 points
2. What was the intervention? What was the direct role of the APN? What attributes helped the APN successfully implement the intervention? Please use the heading, Intervention, for this section. 15 points
3. Discuss challenges that were disclosed in the article. What specific challenges might the APN have encountered in his/her role? How do they relate to challenges discussed in your text/course articles that the APN faces? Are there organizations that support the role? If so, how? Please use the heading, Challenges, for this section. 15 points
4. How were the findings disseminated? Describe where this evidence-based practice led to a model of care or paved the way for further investigation/research. Can you find other articles or presentations that cite the findings of the article? Please use the heading, Dissemination, for this heading. 15 points
5. Scholarly presentation and synthesis throughout paper (this includes grammar, spelling and sentence structure). 15 points
6. Formatting: the paper will be approximately 10 pages (Title page=1, Content= 6-7 pages, References=1-2 pages) 5 points
7. References were published within 10 years, unless a White paper or seminal article on the topic. 10 points
8. Correct use APA in body of paper and in references (7th edition), student version. 5 points
9. Appropriate selection of an article for the assignment. 5 points
Examples of articles to look for when searching the literature:
For example, if you are interested in the role of or enrolled in the Adult Gerontology program the article, Supporting cardiovascular risk reduction in overweight and obese hypertensive patients through DASH diet and lifestyle education by primary care nurse practitioners, authored by Jarl, J., Tolentino, J., James, K., Clark, M., & Ryan, M. (2014). Journal of the American Association of Nurse Practitioners, 26(9), 498-503. doi: 10.1002/2327-6924.12124, describes an intervention utilized among overweight and obese hypertensive patients that encourages Dietary Approaches to Stop Hypertension (DASH) diet and lifestyle changes, designed and led by a primary care nurse practitioner (NP). The article discusses how the NP‐led primary care intervention on diet and lifestyle showed early success in improving the health of overweight and obese hypertensive patients. The article concludes with a discussion regarding how an investment in NP‐led diet and lifestyle counseling should be considered among high‐risk patients in the primary care setting.
Another example, if you are interested in the role of the Family Nurse Practitioner or enrolled in the FNP program the article, Nurse practitioner home-based primary care program improves patient outcomes. Trilla, F., Decastro, T., Harrison, N., Mowry, D., Croke, A., Bicket, M., & Buechner, J. (2018). The Journal for Nurse Practitioners,14(9), e185–e188. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.nurpra.2018.08.003, describes a nurse practitioner-led program that successfully provides primary care in-home. The article discusses trend analyses of 2 cohorts of Medicaid patients that show positive program impact and an immediate and sustained reduction in inpatient admissions and emergency department visits. The intervention also demonstrated a total medical expense per member per month savings beginning in the intervention year and an opportunity to expand to other high-risk fragile populations.
Evidence Based Practice and the APN role
Research and application of evidence-based practice is important to the various roles of the advanced practice nurse (APN). Your readings have described specific outcomes that have been enhanced and which are demonstrated through research findings surrounding the APN role.
In the advance practice area that you are planning to enter (FNP, CRNA, NNP, etc.), or have an interest in, find ONE research article in the literature of the APN role applying evidence-based practice to improve patient or clinical outcomes. The article MUST have been published in the last 10 years. This article, and its identified evidence-based practice will be the primary focus of this assignment.
Articles that are not considered appropriate include any integrative or systematic review, articles written by DNP or PhD students, case study or commentary.

Examples of articles to look for when searching the literature:
For example, if you are interested in the role of or enrolled in the Adult Gerontology program the article, Supporting cardiovascular risk reduction in overweight and obese hypertensive patients through DASH diet and lifestyle education by primary care nurse practitioners, authored by Jarl, J., Tolentino, J., James, K., Clark, M., & Ryan, M. (2014). Journal of the American Association of Nurse Practitioners, 26(9), 498-503. doi: 10.1002/2327-6924.12124, describes an intervention utilized among overweight and obese hypertensive patients that encourages Dietary Approaches to Stop Hypertension (DASH) diet and lifestyle changes, designed and led by a primary care nurse practitioner (NP). The article discusses how the NP‐led primary care intervention on diet and lifestyle showed early success in improving the health of overweight and obese hypertensive patients. The article concludes with a discussion regarding how an investment in NP‐led diet and lifestyle counseling should be considered among high‐risk patients in the primary care setting.
Another example, if you are interested in the role of the Family Nurse Practitioner or enrolled in the FNP program the article, Nurse practitioner home-based primary care program improves patient outcomes. Trilla, F., Decastro, T., Harrison, N., Mowry, D., Croke, A., Bicket, M., & Buechner, J. (2018). The Journal for Nurse Practitioners,14(9), e185–e188. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.nurpra.2018.08.003, describes a nurse practitioner-led program that successfully provides primary care in-home. The article discusses trend analyses of 2 cohorts of Medicaid patients that show positive program impact and an immediate and sustained reduction in inpatient admissions and emergency department visits. The intervention also demonstrated a total medical expense per member per month savings beginning in the intervention year and an opportunity to expand to other high-risk fragile populations.
Evidence Based Practice and the APN role
Research and application of evidence-based practice is important to the various roles of the advanced practice nurse (APN). Your readings have described specific outcomes that have been enhanced and which are demonstrated through research findings surrounding the APN role.
In the advance practice area that you are planning to enter (FNP, CRNA, NNP, etc.), or have an interest in, find ONE research article in the literature of the APN role applying evidence-based practice to improve patient or clinical outcomes. The article MUST have been published in the last 10 years. This article, and its identified evidence-based practice will be the primary focus of this assignment.
Articles that are not considered appropriate include any integrative or systematic review, articles written by DNP or PhD students, case study or commentary.
In this summative paper, consider what you have learned about the role of the APN in this course. As you read the article consider the following questions below. You will then be required to fully discuss all questions and support your discussions with evidence from the literature. You may use your text book, articles from the course or additional resources related to your topic. Please do not use websites, this is a scholarly writing piece.
1. Identify ONE chosen article and describe the problem that the APN recognized as a gap/disparity where improvement in quality/outcomes was necessary. What attributes made the APN a good fit to recognize/address the problem? Please use the heading, Description of the problem, for this section. 15 points
2. What was the intervention? What was the direct role of the APN? What attributes helped the APN successfully implement the intervention? Please use the heading, Intervention, for this section. 15 points
3. Discuss challenges that were disclosed in the article. What specific challenges might the APN have encountered in his/her role?
