How NURS 716 Week 8 Assignment 5 Evidence-Based Practice Proposal Part 2 is graded

That is about 20% of the course's 1,010 points. Read the rubric first. Each row is a criterion, and the wording of the highest column is the closest thing you have to a model answer.
Course grades in NURS 716 use Liberty's point scale: an A is 940 to 1010 points of the course total. Missing the length or source minimum usually costs points on several rows at once, which is why the checklist below starts with them.
Timing in the published guide: Each course module/week begins on Monday morning at 12:00 a.m. (ET) and ends on Sunday night at 11:59 p.m. (ET). The final module/week ends at 11:59 p.m. (ET) on Friday. Check the due dates in your Canvas section, which govern.
The NURS 716 Week 8 method, step by step
Read this part against the whole
Before drafting Assignment 5 Evidence-Based Practice Proposal Part 2, read ahead to the later parts. Each part builds on the last, and a decision that looks fine now can box you in two weeks later.
Lock the topic and the question early
Pick a problem you can carry for the rest of the course and phrase the question so it can actually be answered. A vague question makes every later section harder to write.
Write to the headings the part names
Use the headings in the part's instructions as your section headings, in the same order. Graders check for each element, and a missing heading is the easiest way to lose points.
Support every claim with current evidence
Keep the evidence current and relevant (The proposal's literature and scholarly sources on implementation and evaluation). Each source should support a specific statement in this part, and the set should show why the problem is worth studying.
Keep the draft consistent with earlier parts
Reuse the same terms, population and question you used before, and fix anything your instructor flagged in feedback on the previous part. Graders notice when a proposal changes its question halfway through.
Check length and APA before submitting
Check the part against its share of the total length (Not set in the guide; follow the DNP Handbook's proposal sections) and apply current APA throughout. A part that runs far over its share usually contains material that belongs in a later section.
A structure for NURS 716 Week 8 Assignment 5 Evidence-Based Practice Proposal Part 2
Word targets are planning numbers for about 1,600 words of body text, set by the length in the guide; the rubric decides where to spend more.
| Section | What it must do | Target |
|---|---|---|
| Revised Part 1 summary | The problem, PICO and evidence in brief. | ~160 words |
| Setting and population | Where the project runs and with whom. | ~220 words |
| Implementation plan | Steps, timeline, team and resources. | ~420 words |
| Evaluation plan | Measures, data collection and analysis. | ~380 words |
| Ethical considerations and dissemination | Protection of participants and how results will be shared. | ~260 words |
| Conclusion | The expected impact. | ~160 words |
A topic angle that works
Make the evaluation plan answer the PICO outcome exactly: if the outcome is CAUTI rate, define it (CAUTIs per 1,000 catheter days), name the data source and the comparison period. Chapter 22 deals with dissemination, so close with a specific plan to share results.
Model paragraph with notes
An original paragraph written by our desk to show the register that earns full rubric credit. It is study material: learn the moves, then write your own.
The primary outcome is the CAUTI rate per 1,000 catheter days, taken from the infection prevention department's surveillance data, compared for the three months before and three months after implementation.1 The secondary outcome is catheter days per patient, from the EHR, which shows whether the protocol works through the mechanism the literature predicts.2 Results will be analyzed with descriptive statistics and a run chart, and shared at the nursing research council and as a poster at a regional conference.3
- Defines the outcome precisely.
- Adds a mechanism measure.
- Plans analysis and dissemination.
Mistakes that cost points on NURS 716 Week 8
