2NURSINGOverview of Selected Evidenced-based Practice ProjectThe role of evidence-based practice in the promotion of change with evidence withinclinical settings has been continually pointed out across the literature. Evidence-basedpractice is the unremitting use of current evidence in changing the process of decision makingrelated to patient care to facilitate optimal quality care service delivery. Such practicesintegrate the suitable evidence into nursing care for achieving better patient outcomes (Hall &Roussel, 2016). Research is essential to be conducted in an appropriate manner forhighlighting the best evidence pertaining to the research topic. It is essential that the researchconducted is systematic and it follows a suitable framework, such as the PICO(T) format. Theselected nursing issue for the present evidence-based practice project is postpartum ER visitsfor mother or baby within one week of discharge. The rationale for selecting this issue is thatrecent data indicates that such ER visits have increased considerably in the recent past due tomultifaceted factors. The ultimate result is increased in healthcare costs and inconveniencefor patients. Application to selected MSN Program Specialty TrackThe MSN Program speciality track is Family Nurse Practitioner. If the selectednursing issue is resolved through the proposed project, there would be wide implications foradvanced practice for a family nurse practitioner working within the area of PostpartumPreparedness. Postpartum preparedness refers to the plan of care for the mother as well as thenewborn after the birth in order to reduce the chances of developing complications related tothe childbirth. It is the responsibility of a nurse working in the speciality track of PostpartumPreparedness to ensure that optimal care is delivered overcoming the constraints ofineffective infrastructure, the literacy rate of patients and barriers to access to skilled careworkers (August et al., 2016). With the successful implementation of the proposed program,

Reducingsuch visits would ensure that nurses would not be compelled to take the increased burden andresponsibility of such visits and eventually suffer burnout (DiCenso et al., 2014). Nursing issue and supportive evidence regarding the issueSimilar to prenatal care, the postpartum healthcare care occurs after the childbirth andcontinues until a time on an individual basis. Statistics on postpartum health-care utilizationindicates that diverse challenges are faced while delivering such care and it is not surprisingthat the content and extent of postpartum health care have been extensively critiqued aslimited for effectively meeting needs (Yamashita et al., 2015). As healthcare professionals, itis the responsibility of nurses working in this field to highlight the best evidence by whichchanges can be brought about in this respect so that the arising criticism can be refuted. Asmothers strive to adapt themselves to the significant role changes and new environment,education provided to them at different stages might not be sufficient enough for them. Inaddition, a systematic approach towards postpartum care is also often lacking across hospitals(Meira et al., 2015). The proposed project focuses on the addition of a postpartum checklist along withimpartment of education with the use of additional resources. The checklist is to be providedto all mothers at the time of their discharge. This would ensure that all aspects of care areincluded in the care plan that addresses all the needs of the mother. Such checklists are easierfor the new mothers to follow and chalk out their duties and activities in a timely manner.Following the checklist on a regular manner promotes self-efficiency and places the mothersin a position to care for their child successfully. Secondly, education is to be provided to themothers with the help of additional resources. A comprehensive, informative guidebook is to
