The purpose of this discussion is to reflect on your own readiness to practice as a DNP- prepared nurse, to consider what you learned in this course and how this knowledge will impact your practice. Instructions Reflective inquiry allows for the expansion of self-awareness, identification of knowledge gaps, and assessment of learning goals. As you reflect on your own readiness for practice as a DNP-prepared nurse, it is important to consider what you learned in this course. As you review the course outcomes and your experience in this course, address the following:

1. Analyze and evaluate how your thinking was challenged in this course related to translation science; summary, analysis, synthesis; and using an evidence-based intervention in a practice change project to address a practice problem and impact practice outcomes.

2. Considering this new knowledge, examine how this learning prepares you to practice as a DNP-prepared nurse

3. Application of Knowledge 4. a. Address all bullet points in the weekly discussion accurately and thoroughly

with a substantive, in-depth discussion in the initial post 5. Integration of Evidence 6. a. Incorporate three (3) different sources each week: two (2) of the three (3)

should be scholarly. 7. b. The initial response should include at least one peer-reviewed, scholarly

source of evidence. The other two required literature sources may be included in either the initial post or the reply post.

A scholarly source is (a) evidence-based, (b) peer-reviewed, and (c) published in the last five (5) years. Professionalism in Communication a. References are consistent with APA style/formatting with no error patterns; the hanging indent is not required. b. Presents information in an organized manner. c. Uses clear and concise language. d. Communicates with no error patterns in English grammar, spelling, syntax, and punctuation. Writing Requirements (APA style/formatting) · In-text citations · Reference list in correct APA style/formatting · Standard English usage and mechanics · A scholarly source is (a) evidence-based, (b) peer-reviewed, and (c) published in the last five (5) years. · Response post(s) may require a scholarly citation and reference.

Course Outcomes This discussion enables the student to meet the following course outcomes:

1. Evaluate selected statistical methods for the purposes of critiquing the research to complement the critical appraisal of evidence. (PCs 1, 3, 5; POs 3, 5, 7, 9)

2. Analyze research and non-research data for the purposes of critical appraisal and judgement of evidence for translation into practice (PCs 1, 3, 4, 5, 7, 8; POs 1, 3, 5, 7, 9)

3. Justify use of a translation science theory when designing, implementing, and evaluating a practice change project. (PCs 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 8; POs 1, 4, 5, 8, 9)

4. Formulate an emerging practice question focusing on the research-based intervention to influence practice outcomes. (PCs 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 7, 8; POs 1, 3, 4, 5, 9)

5. Synthesize high-level research and non-research evidence relevant to practice problems. (PCs 1, 3, 5, 7, 8; POs 1, 3, 5, 9)
