Use the rubric on this page as you compose your answers.
Best Practices include:
Participation early in the week is encouraged to stimulate meaningful discussion among classmates and instructor.
Enter the discussion often during the week to read and learn from posts.
Select different classmates for your reply each week.
Discussion Questions

Application and implications for practice come from the interpretation of meaning from research findings. Communicating and using research evidence is an expectation of a BSN graduate.

Select and describe one of the Discussions or Conclusions from the required article from the Week 6 assignment that you found interesting and applicable to practice. Describe how you would apply the evidence to improve nursing practice. Explain your answer.
Discuss ways you would disseminate research-based evidence; how would you share with your peers? Include your thoughts on why it is important for you to be involved in communicating and applying nursing research evidence.

When given research results, how can one determine if the findings are applicable to clinical practice? What tools are available to clinicians in order to determine if statistically significant findings can be used in everyday practice? What are some of the challenges in determining this information? What do you feel are the most important considerations? Choose one of the discussions or conclusions from your week 6 assignment and discuss the finding. Would you apply the evidence found to your practice? Explain your answer.
