Module 1 Discussion: Outcome Assessment
Module 1 Discussion: Outcome Assessment
1. Read the article titled Measuring and Recording Outcome by P.J. Murphy listed in module 1. Consider your potential DNP project topic. It may be as global as infection control, patient satisfaction, quality improvement, or as specific as reducing postoperative pain using a new non-opioid drug. Reflect on the main concepts of the article and draw conclusions on what you could use as outcomes to measure and assess for your project. If you cannot measure it, you cannot assess it, therefore, you cannot know if it worked or if it was effective.

You must proofread your paper. But do not strictly rely on your computer’s spell-checker and grammar-checker; failure to do so indicates a lack of effort on your part and you can expect your grade to suffer accordingly. Papers with numerous misspelled words and grammatical mistakes will be penalized. Read over your paper – in silence and then aloud – before handing it in and make corrections as necessary. Often it is advantageous to have a friend proofread your paper for obvious errors. Handwritten corrections are preferable to uncorrected mistakes.
Use a standard 10 to 12 point (10 to 12 characters per inch) typeface. Smaller or compressed type and papers with small margins or single-spacing are hard to read. It is better to let your essay run over the recommended number of pages than to try to compress it into fewer pages.
Likewise, large type, large margins, large indentations, triple-spacing, increased leading (space between lines), increased kerning (space between letters), and any other such attempts at “padding” to increase the length of a paper are unacceptable, wasteful of trees, and will not fool your professor.
The paper must be neatly formatted, double-spaced with a one-inch margin on the top, bottom, and sides of each page. When submitting hard copy, be sure to use white paper and print out using dark ink. If it is hard to read your essay, it will also be hard to follow your argument.
