Updated

Discussion 1, Due August 31 MEDSCAPE SCAVENGER HUNT As a future Nurse Practitioner, you will frequently use clinical resources to locate evidence-based information for patient care. This activity is designed to help you become familiar with Medscape and the resources available through the platform. Be sure to review the Learning Resources before completing this activity. To Prepare: Download the Medscape app or access Medscape.com and navigate to the “Drugs & Diseases” section. Use Medscape to “Hunt” for the answers to the multiple-choice questions in the Medscape Scavenger Hunt document found in the Learning Resources. In your initial post: Upload your completed quiz document. Write a brief reflection (1–2 paragraphs) on your experience using Medscape. Consider: What did you learn about navigating Medscape? Which feature or resource did you find most useful? How do you anticipate using Medscape during practicum and future NP practice? Respond to at least two classmates by comparing answers, discussing clinical relevance, and identifying one new resource or feature you learned from their post. Discussion 2, Due September 1. Please don't be late WHERE IN THE WORLD IS EVIDENCE-BASED PRACTICE? March 21, 2010, was not EBP’s date of birth, but it may be the date the approach “grew up” and left home to take on the world. When the Affordable Care Act was passed, it came with a requirement of empirical evidence. Research on EBP increased significantly. Application of EBP spread to allied health professions, education, healthcare technology, and more. Health organizations began to adopt and promote EBP. In this Discussion, you will consider this adoption. You will examine healthcare organization websites and analyze to what extent these organizations use EBP. Be sure to review the Learning Resources before completing this activity. To Prepare: Review the Resources and reflect on the definition and goal of EBP. Choose a professional healthcare organization’s website (e.g., a reimbursing body, an accredited body, or a national initiative). Explore the website to determine where and to what extent EBP is evident. Post a description of the healthcare organization website you reviewed. Describe where, if at all, EBP appears (e.g., the mission, vision, philosophy, and/or goals of the healthcare organization, or in other locations on the website). Then, explain whether this healthcare organization’s work is grounded in EBP and why or why not. Finally, explain whether the information you discovered on the healthcare organization’s website has changed your perception of the healthcare organization. Be specific and provide examples. Respond to at least two of your colleagues on two different days by visiting the websites they shared and offering additional examples of EBP or alternative views/interpretations to those shared in your colleagues’ posts
