Generative Artificial Intelligence (AI) technology landed on the scene in the late 1950s and continues to rapidly evolve (Salesforce, n.d.). Generative AI offers a range of applications to the field of nursing. Generative AI is impactful in patient care and providing nursing training. From nursing experience, simulation training provides realistic experiences in patient scenarios to enhance experience and build skills. A randomized control study on nursing students compared virtual reality simulation training for sepsis with an AI-powered provider versus a human-controlled (Leung et al., 2023). The virtual reality simulation was in place to address concerns about communication between nurses and providers during sepsis scenarios (Leung et al., 2023). The study found that AI-powered doctors were non-inferior to human-controlled virtual reality simulations (Leung et al., 2023). The articles offer that nursing training and simulation can be beneficial through AI technology.
Beyond nursing practice, generative AI technology is considerably influential in prompting a consumer empowerment trend in the current Knowledge era (McGonigle & Mastrian, 2025). AI technology significantly enhances patient education and empowers the patient. The study by Marey et al. (2023) suggests that in patients with cardiovascular disease, generative AI offers tailored educational material to patients through generative AI models like natural language processing and vision-based models. The utilization of generative AI, especially as generative AI evolves, can tailor patient educational materials to the patient’s level and learning needs.
Though the power and future of generative AI in nursing and patient education are mighty, some factors of the technology make it unique. Generative AI is intriguing in many ways, but one of the most intriguing aspects is that on a different day, the same question can produce different results. The unpredictability of generative AI is classified as randomness (Ugander & Epstein, 2024). The article by Ugander and Epstein (2024) stresses that AI in creative contexts depends on efficiency and human randomness.
Generative AI in nursing, patient education, and the randomness of AI are important in various ways and impact the nurse administrator role. As Leung et al. (2023) stated, generative AI offers healthcare staff training and development. Generative AI in providing more tailored patient education can improve patient engagement in care and patient satisfaction. Nurse administrators can apply generative AI to assess the quality of care for specific metrics like patient-sustained falls or central line-associated bloodstream infections. In identifying these metrics, nurse administrators can again utilize generative AI to provide staff with more directed education and training.

The “refreeze” stage is the final phase in Lewin’s change management model, and

The “refreeze” stage is the final phase in Lewin’s change management model, and it is crucial for stabilizing the changes that have been implemented in an organization. 
In the “refreeze” stage, the focus is on solidifying the changes that have been made during the “change” stage as well as on evaluating those changes. The main goal is to ensure that the changes become a permanent part of the organizational culture and that they are sustained over time. This phase involves not only evaluating the changes, but also reinforcing the new behaviors, processes, and structures that were introduced during the change stage. 
In this course, you are not expected to implement all components of the change plan, including the “refreeze” part; however, this week, you are asked to consider how this stage of the plan would look if you did have the time and opportunity to implement this last stage of the plan at your healthcare organization.  
For this Assignment, you develop approaches to the evaluation of practice change related to quality and safety or population health in nursing practice. You also develop strategies to evaluate an improvement in practice related to quality and safety or population health in nursing practice.

Details:
Last week, you identified a few quantitative research studies to help answer your PICOT question. In this two-week assignment, you will critically appraise three of the studies to evaluate the evidence they offer. At least one study must be a randomized clinical trial (RCT). Examples of rapid critical appraisal checklists that can be used for different types of quantitative studies are linked at the bottom of this assignment. Each critical appraisal will address the (1) validity, (2) reliability, and (3) applicability of the study.
After appraising the three studies, write a paper addressing each study’s validity, reliability, and applicability. Use APA formatting and include an introduction and conclusion. Be sure to include a reference page and appendix with copies of the completed critical appraisal checklists for each of the three studies.
This assignment should be no more than 6-8 pages (not including the title or references pages) and include the following components: 
Title Page
Introduction: include a summary of the primary intent of your paper

Mr. Jones is a 67 year old male that is accompanied by his wife to your clinic.

Mr. Jones is a 67 year old male that is accompanied by his wife to your clinic. He is following up after an ER visit for a fall at home that resulted in 6 stitches to his forehead. His CT of the brain was negative during his emergency department visit and his sutures were removed 5 days following the visit. He has not other complaints other than was told by the ER to follow up with his primary care, and admits it has been a little while, several years, since he has been in to see his primary care provider. He admits that he had a few drinks that night before tripping over his dog. His wife adds that he has “a few drinks” every night. 
How will you proceed with Mr. Jones? What diagnostics and screening will you perform? What will potentially be part of your treatment plan? What specific resources in your own community (city or region) will you refer him to?
Utilize high-level scholarly resources and links to specific regional resources to support your discussion. Avoid point-of-care references.
