NURS 8114 Components of Evidence-Based Practice: Grading the Evidence<\/span><\/h2>\n

Sample Answer for NURS 8114 Components of Evidence-Based Practice: Grading the Evidence Included After Question<\/strong><\/h2>\n

What grade would you require of evidence to justify a practice change? Must it be an A or a solid 100? Would B+ or, say, 90, be enough? How would you attach a grading equivalent to the evidence you have appraised?<\/p>\n

This final component of evidence-based practice<\/a> does not require literally assigning a grade. However, it does involve evaluating what level of evidence in quantity and quality can justify a particular practice change, and the time, effort, and expense of a quality improvement initiative. Each situation and grading scale may be different depending on the specific practice problem, the potential outcomes, the urgency of the problem, and the attitudes\u2014encouraging or uncompromising\u2014of the stakeholders.<\/p>\n

This week you complete this module with a critical assessment of the evidence from your literature review. Both in your Discussion with colleagues and your module Assignment, the strength and substance of what links your practice problem, evidence to address it, and the need for a practice change initiative, will be yours to explain and grade.<\/p>\n
