Discussion Prompts(choose one to answer)

  • Scholarship in Nursing serves as the scientific foundation for creating, applying, and sharing nursing knowledge. Research endeavors aim to progress nursing understanding and inform evidence-based practices. Reflect on your recent clinical or simulation day and choose a specific nursing task you executed and a clinical decision you made that day. Delve into the reasons behind your actions. Offer evidence-based reasoning that underpins both the chosen nursing task and decision.
  • Nursing interventions and problem-solving are grounded in evidence-based practice.  Reflecting on your clinical or simulation day, consider the challenges encountered. Identify any processes or procedures that did not unfold smoothly. Propose potential enhancements for the identified areas. Discuss the criteria for determining the necessary steps for improvement. Outline how evidence could be integrated into the improvement plan.
