 This week our objectives and content focus on evidence synthesis – research and non-research evidence – in the articulation of a practice problem. This articulation emphasizes significance, prevalence, and economic ramification of the practice problem at the national and local levels.  

How does understanding the three key features of a synthesis, as identified in this week’s lesson, influence your practice readiness as a DNP-prepared nurse leading the design, implementation, evaluation, and dissemination of findings in a practice change project?

Each week students should also explain how they met a course competency or course objective(s).

In each week’s entry, students should reflect on the personal knowledge and skills gained throughout the course. Journal entries should address one or more of the areas stated below.  In the Topic 10 graded submission, each of the areas below should be addressed as part of the summary submission.
