Briefly explain the model, provide rationale for selection of the model, and provide an example of how the model has been used in advanced nursing practice.

Page 1: Topic: Theoretical Models used in Evidence Based
Practice

Providing quality nursing care is supported by the use of
evidence-based practice (EBP); however, how does a nurse know what the best
evidence is? In particular, how can nurses in advanced nursing roles lead by
using EBP in their work? Several models have been developed to assist nurses in
determining what the best evidence is to guide their practice.

Select one of the theoretical models used to evaluate the
evidence for EBP that will fit into your future advanced nursing role. Briefly
explain the model, provide rationale for selection of the model, and provide an
example of how the model has been used in advanced nursing practice.

Page 2: NP and APN Roles Comparison

Compare and contrast the primary care NP role with other
nursing advanced practice roles and the role of physician assistants. What are
the similarities among the roles and what are the differences? What are some
growing areas of nursing specialization in nursing, and how do you see this
continuing to evolve in the future? For example, informatics and disaster
nursing are a growing area of nursing specialization that grow from specific
needs in healthcare. What do you envision when you consider the roles of
nursing advanced practice in the future?
