DNP-prepared nurse, there is likelihood of encountering several different methods of disseminating the findings and implications of an evidence-based project. The existence of varying methods for presentation of findings and implications of an evident-based project is fueled by the unique benefits of each method. Therefore, the DNP-nurse should be careful when choosing his/her method of presenting findings and implications through thorough analysis and consideration of the unique benefits of

Over the course of the practicum, I hope to enhance my knowledge, the first level of Bloom’s Taxonomy of knowledge (1999), of how to communicate with patients from different cultural contexts in a more effective fashion. As noted in the DNP essential regarding the scientific underpinnings of practice, biological, psychological, and social factors must all be integrated into evidence-based analysis. Specific patient groups, according to the scientific literature, may face

DNP PROJECT Final Project PlanThe proposed project seeks to address the high incidence of medication errors at the clinical site by implementing a mandatory medication safety education for clinical staff. The incidence of medication errors at the facility has risen significantly over the past year, resulting in preventable injury, death, and reputational issues. This text presents the final translation action plan to start off the implementation phase. It outlines the
