Course grades in NURS 732 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 732 Week 7 method, step by step

  1. Start from the need

    Define the need the Quality Improvement Plan Part II answers: who it is for, what gap exists, and how you know. A plan without an assessed need has nothing to measure against.

  2. Write measurable objectives

    Write objectives that name the audience, the behavior or outcome, the level and the time frame.

  3. Choose methods that fit the objectives

    Select the strategies, content or interventions that fit each objective, and say why they fit, citing evidence (At least 4 to 5 references in addition to the course textbooks and the Bible).

  4. Plan the resources and timeline

    List what the plan needs (people, time, materials, cost) and the order of steps. Graders look for plans that could be carried out.

  5. Plan the evaluation

    Tie each objective to a measure and a time point. Evaluation is where most plans are thinnest.

  6. Format and length

    Follow the required template or headings and check length (5 to 7 pages, excluding title and reference pages) and APA.

A structure for NURS 732 Week 7 Quality Improvement Plan Part II

Word targets are planning numbers for about 1,500 words of body text, set by the length in the guide; the rubric decides where to spend more.

SectionWhat it must doTarget
RecapThe aim and causes from Part I.~150 words
Change ideasInterventions matched to the root causes.~390 words
PDSA cyclesThe first tests of change, small and fast.~390 words
MeasuresOutcome, process and balancing measures.~360 words
CommunicationHow staff and leaders will be kept informed.~210 words

A topic angle that works

Name all three kinds of measure: an outcome measure (the aim), a process measure (are staff doing the change?) and a balancing measure (is something else getting worse?). The balancing measure is the one most plans forget.

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.

NURS 732 Week 7, sample measures paragraph

The outcome measure is the pressure injury rate per 1,000 patient days. The process measure is the share of patients with a documented skin assessment and turning schedule each shift, audited weekly from the EHR.1 The balancing measure is nursing time: if two-hourly turning adds work, missed care elsewhere could rise, so the team will track missed-care reports on the unit.2 Together the three show whether the change works, whether it is done, and what it costs.3

  1. Names all three measure types.
  2. Gives the data source and frequency.
  3. Explains the balancing measure's purpose.
