Nursing 2120 Evidence Based Research Paper  

Total points: 20  

Purpose: The purpose of this assignment is twofold: 1) To provide an opportunity for students to research a patient’s  disease process, concurrent medical history, and coping strategies; and 2) To develop a scholarly paper.    

Objectives: In the student's own words, the student will:  

1. Describe the pathophysiology of a selected patient’s disease process.  

2. Discuss a selected patient’s physical assessment and relate it to the pathophysiology of the disease process.    

3. Describe ways in which the selected disease process may alter the selected patient’s developmental process.    

4. Review the selected patient’s medical history, concurrent disease processes, and medication history.    

5. Discuss three professional nursing journal articles that relate to the disease process.    

6. Discuss one out-patient/community resource appropriate for the selected patient.  

7. Plan long term nursing care for the selected patient.  

General Guidelines for the Evidenced-Based Research Paper  

The selected patient should have a disease related to the concepts in this course (Gas Exchange, Perfusion, Evidence,  Acid-base balance, Glucose Regulation, Inflammation.)  

• The paper should be in a formal writing style, using APA format, double-spaced, correct margins, 12-font, etc.  (See APA criteria, 7th edition)  
• There is a two-point deduction for papers not submitted on the due date; additional one-point deductions each  day thereafter. This paper is a course requirement and must be submitted within seven days of the due date or an  “F” course grade will be recorded.  
• Submit the evidence-based research paper, data sheets (working copies of patient care), and a copy of each of the  three professional nursing journal articles discussed in the paper. At least two of the professional nursing journal  articles should be research focused. All three articles should be no older than five years.  
• In order to respect patient privacy, refer to the patient by using the initials only.  
• See Nursing Handbook and College of DuPage Catalog regarding plagiarism.  
• The paper should be submitted by the due date. The student must submit a paper copy to the clinical instructor. • Portfolio Research Assignment: Each student has the responsibility of placing an ungraded copy of their  research paper in their electronic portfolio. 
• Students must post a reflection on this portfolio project. It should be posted to the “Assignments” content area in  Blackboard (see rubric). The due date for the Portfolio Research Assignment can be found on the course  calendar. Both the completed research paper and reflection need to be posted to the student portfolio by the day  of the final exam.
