Assignment: Professional Nurses
NOW FOR AN ORIGINAL PAPER ASSIGNMENT:Assignment: Professional Nurses
In all healthcare settings, ethical and legal precepts guide research conduct to protect the rights of patients eligible for, or participating in, investigations. Professional nurses safeguard patient rights, including those of the most vulnerable patients, in situations where an actual or potential conflict of interest, misconduct, or the potential for harm are identified.
The baccalaureate program prepares the graduate to:
1. Explain the interrelationships among theory, practice, and research.
2. Demonstrate an understanding of the basic elements of the research process and models for applying evidence to clinical practice.
3. Advocate for the protection of human subjects in the conduct of research.
4. Evaluate the credibility of sources of information, including but not limited to databases and Internet resources.
5. Participate in the process of retrieval, appraisal, and synthesis of evidence in collaboration with other members of the healthcare team to improve patient outcomes.
6. Integrate evidence, clinical judgment, interprofessional perspectives, and patient preferences in planning, implementing, and evaluating outcomes of care.
7. Collaborate in the collection, documentation, and dissemination of evidence.
8. Acquire an understanding of the process for how nursing and related healthcare quality and safety measures are developed, validated, and endorsed.
9. Describe mechanisms to resolve identified practice discrepancies between identified standards and practice that may adversely impact patient outcomes.
