    Case Study Scenario
    Chief Complaint
    A.C., is a 61-year old male with complaints of shortness of breath.
    History of Present Illness
    A.C. was seen in the emergency room 1 week ago for an acute onset of mid-sternal chest pain. The event was preceded with complaints of fatigue and increasing dyspnea for 3 months, for which he did not seek care. He was evaluated by cardiology and underwent a successful and uneventful angioplasty prior to discharge. Despite the intervention, the shortness of breath has not improved. Since starting cardiac rehabilitation, he feels that his breathlessness is worse. The cardiologist has requested that you, his primary care provider, evaluate him for further work-up. Prior to today, his last visit with your practice was 3 years ago when he was seen for acute bronchitis and smoking cessation counseling.

  • Title: Disseminating Evidence-Based Practice: Strategies and Barriers

    *********PLEASE MAKE SURE THERE ARE IN TEXT CITATIONS IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LATEST APA FORMAT AND ABSOLUTLY NI AI USE TURNIT IN WILL DETECT IT WHICH WILL RESULT IN TERMINATION FROM THE UNIVERITY*****
    As your EBP skills grow, you may be called upon to share your expertise with others. While EBP practice is often conducted with unique outcomes in mind, EBP practitioners who share their results can both add to the general body of knowledge and serve as an advocate for the application of EBP.
    In this Discussion, you will explore strategies for disseminating EBP within your organization, community, or industry. To Prepare:
    Review the Resources and reflect on the various strategies presented throughout the course that may be helpful in disseminating effective and widely cited EBP.This may include: unit-level or organizational-level presentations, poster presentations, and podium presentations at organizational, local, regional, state, and national levels, as well as publication in peer-reviewed journals.
    Reflect on which type of dissemination strategy you might use to communicate EBP.
