Create a 2-4 page resource that will describe databases that are relevant to EBP

Create a 2-4 page resource that will describe databases that are relevant to EBP around the diagnoses provided and could be used to help a new hire nurse better engage in EBP. 
Diagnosis : Deep Vein Thrombosis (DVT): A blood clot that forms in a deep vein, usually in the legs.
o Interventions: Anticoagulant therapy, compression stockings, leg elevation, and patient education on mobility.
o Keywords: Venous thromboembolism, pulmonary embolism, clotting factors, INR monitoring, heparin
Scenario: 
You are supervising three nurses working on the medical-surgical floor of a local teaching hospital. This hospital is nationally recognized as a leader in education and has a computer lab with an online library where staff has access to medical research databases (that is, CINAHL, PubMed, Medline, and Cochrane library) and online sources of all hospital policies, procedures, and guidelines, and computers at nurse workstations that also have access to these resources. You have given the nurses their patient assignments and you have all participated in shift report. A new nurse who just completed orientation and training a week ago approaches you and tells you that one of the assigned patients has a diagnosis he or she is very unfamiliar with. Knowing that patient-centered care based on best practices is imperative to positive patient outcomes, you want to assist this nurse to find research that can be utilized to provide the best care for this patient. Describe how you would communicate with this nurse to encourage him or her to research the diagnosis. Assume you will assist in the quest to locate evidence, then describe where you would go within the facility and what resources you would look for. These resources may include websites, journals, facility policies or guidelines, or any other sources of online information.
Create a list of at least five sources that could be used to find evidence, with the best source listed first, and explain why the sources you chose are best to find evidence for the diagnosis you chose and the clinical scenario. You are only evaluating the sources of evidence (database, website, policy database or website, journal article, et cetera). You are not actually completing a search and selecting evidence. Consider the following examples: a nursing journal in CINAHL may not be the best source of evidence for information on how to administer medications through a central-venous catheter, whereas a hospital policy database found on a website may not be the best source of information on caring for a patient with a rare chromosomal abnormality.
The purpose of this assessment is to understand where to find evidence that can be applied to clinical scenarios and to learn effective communication and collaboration with clinical staff during the process of evidence location. As a baccalaureate-prepared nurse, you will not only use research for self-improvement in your clinical role, but you will also serve as a mentor to supervised nursing staff. Therefore, you will need to be able to communicate and collaborate effectively to guide them toward resources to find research, as well as support them through the initial evidence location process. In doing so, nurses can gain access to evidence that can be analyzed and utilized to stay current on best practices. This allows them to provide safe, patient-centered care and improve patient outcomes.
For this assessment:
Describe your role as a baccalaureate-prepared nurse supervising clinical staff nurses with regard to communication and collaboration in locating evidence for application to a nursing practice scenario.
Compile a list of five online databases or other online sources (that is, websites, journals, facility policies or guidelines, et cetera) that can be used to research evidence to apply to the diagnosis in this scenario and describe to which of these you would direct a nurse colleague to search for evidence.
Describe where you might go in the work place to complete this research and how you would access the desired, relevant research within research databases or other online sources.
Be sure to address the following in this assessment, which correspond to the grading criteria in the scoring guide. Please study the scoring guide carefully so that you will know what is needed for a distinguished score.
Describe communication strategies to encourage nurses to research the diagnosis/practice issue, as well as strategies to collaborate with the nurses to access resources.
Describe the best places to complete research and what types of resources you would want to access to find pertinent information for the diagnosis/health care issue within the context of a specific health care setting.
Identify five sources of online information (medical journal databases, websites, hospital policy databases, et cetera) that could be used to locate evidence for a clinical diagnosis/practice issue.
Explain why the sources of online information selected should provide the best evidence for the chosen diagnosis/health care issue.
Communicate using writing that is clear, logical, and professional with correct grammar and spelling using current APA style.
Note: While you are not selecting and evaluating specific evidence to help with the clinical diagnosis/practice issue, you should still be citing the literature and best practices to support your description of your communication and collaboration approach. Additionally, it is appropriate to cite best practices related to EBP and evaluating databases to support your explanation as to why you selected the five sources of online information that you did.
Length of submission: 2-4 pages (not including the title page or the reference page) description of communication, collaboration, and evidence location process, including a list of databases or other sources with description of why they are appropriate for clinical scenario diagnosis/health care issue (that is, something that would be useable in professional practice for other nurses). Be sure to include an APA-formatted reference page at the end of your submission.
Number of references: Cite a minimum of three sources of scholarly or professional evidence that supports your findings and considerations. Resources should be no more than five years old.
APA formatting: References and citations are formatted according to current APA style.
Competencies Measured
By successfully completing this assessment, you will demonstrate your proficiency in the course competencies through the following assessment scoring guide criteria:
Competency 1: Interpret findings from scholarly quantitative, qualitative, and outcomes research articles and studies.
Explain why the sources selected should provide the best evidence for the chosen diagnosis/health care issue.
Competency 2: Analyze the relevance and potential effectiveness of evidence when making a decision within the context of a specific health care setting.
Describe the best places to complete research within the workplace environment and what types of resources one would want to access to find pertinent information for the diagnosis/health care issue.
Competency 4: Plan care based on the best available evidence.
Identify five sources of online information (medical journal databases, websites, hospital policy databases, et cetera) that could be used to locate evidence for a diagnosis/health care issue and three out of five should be specific to the diagnosis/health care issue.
Competency 5: Apply professional, scholarly communication strategies to lead practice changes based on evidence.
Describe communication strategies to encourage nurses to research a diagnosis/health care issue, as well as strategies to collaborate with the nurses to access resources.

THIS IS THE POST TO REPLY TO:
When I think of the term health parity and the role it plays in the health field, inclusion and fair treatment is what instantly comes to mind. The idea of treating all patients equally and providing exceptional care despite their socioeconomic status, and potential barriers is vital for all healthcare professionals to respect. Chelak & Chakole (2023), discuss that health disparities have become evident due to a patient’s educational level, social class and geographical location. It is further examined that the best way to combat this dilemma is to create solutions that work around these barriers and ultimately dissipate any inequalities. It has been suggested that the first step is for medical staff to become more aware of the hardships patients face. By doing this, it encourages staff to dedicate more time to the patient and provide resources such as increase in staff numbers, insurance opportunities and payment plans, and new policies and procedures that require equal care to be provided to promote better healthcare outcomes for all (Chelak & Chakole (2023).
One cultural practice that could impact a patient’s health is Jehovah Witnesses’ beliefs on blood product refusal. Within this religion there is an overall understanding that if a member of the Jehovah witness accepts blood products, it is considered to be sinful, would cause them to be shunned by the group and considered an outcast (Radovanović et al., 2021). This raises concerns for medical staff when a patient is in critical condition and to prolong or potentially save someone’s life, giving blood products is vital to their care. I personally experienced this moral dilemma when I was a nurse working in the endoscopy unit at my hospital. We were caring for a patient with gastrointestinal bleed who was admitted with a critical hematocrit and hemoglobin level. The standard procedure would be to administer a rapid blood transfusion protocol that would play a crucial role in the patient’s survival, and in this situation, it was more crucial to respect the patient’s religion and autonomy.
The National Institutes of Health (2023) gives several examples on how to be culturally sensitive when caring for those within diverse populations. The first example that is so simple, yet so effective is getting to know your patient by asking things like how they like to be addressed, their religious and cultural preferences, and any language barriers. Next, requires you to be more in touch with nonverbal cues, such as the patient not making eye contact, shaking your hand, any physical touch, and the tone and volume of their voice, once you discover this, it is important to reciprocate. Lastly it is also stressed how important it is for you to recognize your own beliefs and practices, how culturally competent you are, and understand how that might differ from others (National Institutes of Health, 2023). It is evident that being sensitive to differing cultures and continuing education on the topic in a diverse population needs to be prominent when caring for members of any community.
