Assignment - Collaboration Café - Reflection on Learning and Implications for Practice

Description - During the NR 505 course, you identified a practice issue of interest and proposed an intervention to address the problem.

1. Please state your PICOT statement and label each element in your sentence.

2. Describe at least two aspects of the course that you feel enhanced your knowledge and skills regarding nursing research and your practice issue.

3. Please share your favorite aspect of the course and discuss why you chose this.

My PICOT question was:

P-The population is the sample of subjects affected by the nursing practice problem. In medication errors, the population affected ranges across all patient characteristics and ages. This includes children, adolescents, and the elderly of any gender.

I-Interventions refer to the practices, treatments, and strategies that can reduce the ensuing nursing problem. Medication errors can be reduced by using computerized data entry systems to lower prescription errors by pharmacists.

C-The comparison illustrates the existing strategies that can act as a reference to assess the effectiveness of the suggested intervention. The comparative strategy for this problem would be the training of pharmacists. While training programs help create patient safety awareness, they can be used to evaluate the effectiveness of computerized data entry systems in lowering prescription errors.

O-Outcome refers to the expected results that define the effectiveness of the suggested intervention. Medication errors can be reduced by increased patient safety and lower rates of prescription errors.
