Please see attached pdf with all the instructions
Scenario
For this assessment, you may choose from the following options as the context for the quality or safety issue or
chosen diagnosis for researching and completing this assessment:
The specific diagnosis you identified in your previous assessment.
The simulation Vila Health: Determining the Credibility of Evidence.
A personal practice experience in which a sentinel event occurred.
Instructions
The purpose of this analysis is to better understand what constitutes credibility of journal articles as well as
websites. The role of the baccalaureate-prepared nurse in incorporating evidence-based research continues to
growth in clinical practice. As quality improvement (QI) measures to reduce safety risks continue to be emphasized,
the need for evidence-based models and evidence-based templates is growing. This type of systematic approach to
incorporating evidence-based findings allows nurses to make clinical and operational decisions based upon the best
available evidence. When the most up-to-date evidence-based findings are utilized, patient-centered care improves
outcomes and enhances the patient experience.
For this assessment:
Explain the criteria that should be used when determining the credibility of journal articles as well as websites.
Support your explanations with references to the literature or research articles that describe criteria that
should be used to determine credibility.
Your identification and determination of credibility should be done within the context of your chosen
scenario for this assessment. For example, if you choose to use the provided Vila Health scenario, your
initial identification of resources should be of resources that will best help address the presented issue.
However, if you are locating resources to help provide evidence-based care for the diagnosis you

databases that identified. Any of the three scenario options are acceptable. So, pick the one that most
interests you.
