Unit 4 Discussion 2 Evidence Based Practice The trend towards evidence based practice (EBP) has increased with the implementation of the chronic disease management performed by nurses. Laughlin and Beisel (2010) reported the results of a pilot study regarding the evolution of the nurse role in a primary care setting as a member of the treatment team for chronic illness. Laughlin and Beisel (2010) focused attention on the skill sets nurses provided in care of chronic conditions emphasizing that nurses are uniquely qualified to assess the needs of patients with chronic illness and to formulate a plan for and coordination of care (p. 414). Barriers to EBP were acceptance of nurses in the role as members of the care team and lack of education…
At Challenger K8 I am the internal coach for the Positive Behavior Intervention Support initiative. As celebrations for nine grade level become expensive I wanted to incorporate a fundraiser for the next year events; however, after speaking with my principal she had asked me to work on a fund raiser for a marquee that cost $6,000.

The type of intervention approach most appropriate for the homelessness issue in Baltimore City is a preventative targeted intervention. This approach has been selected since, a portion of homeless individuals are showing signs and symptoms of substance abuse (Roe-Sepowtiz, Bedard, & Thyer, 2005). Although there are great efforts in Baltimore City’s intervention plans, there are too many gaps that leave out individuals who are suffering from substance abuse (Baltimore City Jurisdictional Plan, 2009). Every plan has the same goal of moving the homeless with substance abuse problems into a healthier lifestyle, however change has been a slow and ineffective process (Baltimore City Jurisdictional Plan, 2009). The preventative targeted intervention…
Translation of evidence-based intervention into practice sometimes comes with defy due to human factors and issues with system management. Edwards and Furlan, (2010) noted a lack of motivation to change, the cost of training, poor knowledge, misperception, misinterpretation of the need for change and poor execution are some of the barriers to implementation of evidence-based medication safety. They emphasized that organization the utilizes blame trap or where a culture of blame ensued, have difficulty recognizing the significance of safety data and lack the understanding to the root cause of failure process. In addition, shift responsibility onto individuals, thereby making it hard for acceptance of new change.…

The objective of this session with the client was to research an agency that would help Susan, as well suggest an appropriate evidence based intervention based on the services that are provided at that specific agency.

Scientific Research Based Interventions have a positive effect on students’ reading performance when used consistently and for at least 25 to 30 minutes a day. After implementing SRBI lessons, I was able to demonstrate their effectiveness based on the improvement in the children’s reading level. When students are confronted with the appropriate interventions, and their progress is monitored, they are able to make progress on their reading performance.…
The goals and objectives were clearly identifiable? The goals and objectives are not clearly stated but it became very clear that the objectives include: engagement with each other and initiating conversation. The clinician successfully achieves these goals by providing an activity for the children to engage in but still allowing them to take initiation. The clinician reacts to almost every comment the children make in order to promote engagement between the two clients.…
My goal for the behavior change project was to lose ten pounds by the cutoff date. My three short-term goals were losing two pounds, five pounds, and eight pounds. Looking back on these goals, I wish that I would have chosen better dates for these to be completed by. My original long-term goal was to lose twenty pounds, which now seems almost impossible due to me not being able to lose ten pounds in a few months. I was also unable to meet my three short term goals.…
The topic that I selected is increasing the evidence based practice use. Evidence based practice (EBP) is one of the popular topics in nursing today. It is defined as a “problem-solving approach to clinical decision making within a healthcare organization that integrates the best available scientific evidence with the best available experiential evidence” (Hain & Kear, 2015, p. 2). Applying evidence based practice into our daily nursing practice can improve the quality of care of the patients.…

Behavior therapy has evolved and developed, it has increasingly overlapped in some ways with other psychotherapeutic approaches (Wilson, 2011).…
