For this week’s assignment, you are going to request funding for a new project from the executive level of your company. Feel free to be creative with this assignment, but remember your target audience and keep your presentation professional. I would like a PowerPoint presentation describing what you need money for and why (a new product line, upgraded computer system, new chairs for the office, etc.). Keep in mind that your executives are concerned with the financial future of the company, you will need to explain how this expenditure will benefit the company in the long run. Include a budget and a timeline. While the numbers are fictitious, you need to provide valid justifications for your requests, so provide research that supports the idea. The executives of every company have a duty to the stockholders/investors, so your justification will more than likely be passed along in some way to the annual report. Keep this in mind when creating your presentation.

There is no minimum required slide count, the content on the slides is more important than the number of slides. Include notes on each slide with a dialogue of what you would say if you were presenting. You could also choose to dictate each slide if you prefer. This is essential to a complete proposal.

Make sure to include a reference page using APA format!

The first step of the evidence-based practice process is to evaluate a nursing practice environment to identify a nursing problem in the clinical area. When a nursing problem is discovered, the nurse researcher develops a clinical guiding question to address that nursing practice problem.

For this assignment, you will create a clinical guiding question know as a PICOT question. The PICOT question must be relevant to a nursing practice problem. To support your PICOT question, identify six supporting peer-revised research articles, as indicated below. The PICOT question and six peer-reviewed research articles you choose will be utilized for subsequent assignments.

Use the “Literature Evaluation Table” to complete this assignment.

1. Select a nursing practice problem of interest to use as the focus of your research. Start with the patient population and identify a clinical problem or issue that arises from the patient population. In 200–250 words, provide a summary of the clinical issue.
2. Following the PICOT format, write a PICOT question in your selected nursing practice problem area of interest. The PICOT question should be applicable to your proposed capstone project (the project students must complete during their final course in the RN-BSN program of study).
3. The PICOT question will provide a framework for your capstone project. 
4. Conduct a literature search to locate six research articles focused on your selected nursing practice problem of interest. This literature search should include three quantitative and three qualitative peer-reviewed research articles to support your nursing practice problem.

Note: To assist in your search, remove the words qualitative and quantitative and include words that narrow or broaden your main topic. For example: Search for diabetes and pediatric and dialysis. To determine what research design was used in the articles the search produced, review the abstract and the methods section of the article. The author will provide a description of data collection using qualitative or quantitative methods. Systematic Reviews, Literature Reviews, and Metanalysis articles are good resources and provide a strong level of evidence but are not considered primary research articles.  Therefore, they should not be included in this assignment.

While APA style is not required for the body of this assignment, solid academic writing is expected, and documentation of sources should be presented using APA formatting guidelines, which can be found in the APA Style Guide, located in the Student Success Center.
