Review this weeks readings and provide your response in 150 words or less:
State your practice question in PICOT format. In adult patients diagnosed with type 2 diabetes at a primary care clinic, does implementing the CDC Diabetes Prevention Program, compared to current practice, impact fasting blood glucose over 8-10 weeks?
Summarize your project implementation plan in Weeks 2-9 to include your activities as the DNP project leader (including observational formative evaluation).
Explain any changes you have made to the implementation plan, with rationale for the changes, since your arrival in NR705.
Response to Practice Question and Implementation Plan
In addressing the PICOT question, I aim to evaluate the effectiveness of the CDC Diabetes Prevention Program on fasting blood glucose levels in adults with type 2 diabetes over an 8-10 week period. My implementation plan for Weeks 2-9 includes recruiting participants, conducting baseline assessments, and initiating the program while facilitating weekly educational sessions. As the DNP project leader, I will oversee data collection and perform observational formative evaluations to monitor participant engagement and program fidelity.
Since starting NR705, I have adjusted the timeline for participant recruitment to allow for more comprehensive outreach efforts. This change was made to ensure a diverse participant demographic, thereby enhancing the generalizability of the results. The rationale for this adjustment stems from initial feedback on the need for inclusivity in the study population to better reflect community health disparities.
