Your Chief Nurse Executive (CNE) recognizes you are pursuing your BSN and has asked you to be a member
of the nursing evidence-based practice (NEBP) committee. She has advised the members that the purpose is
to conduct nursing research studies involving clinical practice problems. Increasing nurses' awareness of
quality and safety concerns will help develop an attitude of inquiry and asking questions (Sherwood &
Barnsteiner, 2017). Baccalaureate nurses "collaborate in problem identification, participate in the process of
search, retrieval, and documentation of evidence, and integrate evidence using credible databases and internet
resources" (AACN, 2008, pp. 16-17).
The CNE has advised all members of the following areas of quality and safety clinical practice that each
committee member needs to consider and choose only one as a priority area for conducting a research study.
Sources of research problems come from nursing clinical practice (Houser, 2018): Your CNE has requested
that you select ONLY one topic area and complete the PPE Worksheet using only one topic area. The
committee will collaborate and decide as a team which nursing clinical problem area will be the priority focus of
their next research study. Thank you for your valuable contributions to this important NEBP committee.
