PICO Question: In patient with cerebrovascular accident (CVA), how will precise CVA treatment regime, with lifestyle changes, and CVA management, affect the overall African American patients’ outcomes living with a CVA?
P (Problem or Patient Population) patient with cerebrovascular accident
I (Intervention) precise CVA treatment regime
C (Comparison) no management; other solution; management
O (Outcome of interest) reduced CVA of African American patients
Development of Best Practice Recommendations/Guidelines
- Each Best Practice statement is to be supported from the literature review; sources are clearly documented following APA format.
- Formulate at least 3 best practice statements. Best practice statements are action-oriented.
- Develop the best practice statement in your own words; through paraphrasing. DO NOT USE QUOTATIONS.
Review of Actual Practice
- Obtain a copy of a policy and procedure concerning the selected issue. Compare the policy with the best practice statements developed.
- Or observe how the selected nursing issue is actually implemented.
- Speak with someone about what is actually happening.
- Use this information in the next step of Analysis/Identification of Gaps.
Gap Analysis
- The analysis phase consists of comparing the best practice to what is actually in place through Policy and Procedure, Observation, or Interview.
- Identify the commonalities and the differences between these three, identifying gaps from best practice.
