Preparation
Your intervention and implementation plan should be carried out in an interprofessional context, aligned to your topic, and based on the work you did in the first assessment. You should find collaborators as soon as possible so you can solicit their feedback about intervention and implementation plans to inform your approach.
Instructions
Having identified a health problem relevant to your current or future nursing practice and reviewed the literature to support nursing standards, decision making, and improvement strategies, you should now plan an intervention to address the chosen health problem based on the research you conducted.
Construct a plausible plan that leverages the best practices and research collected to date as well as additional research into similar projects that you find in the literature. Be sure to frame your plan within the context of the health care setting in which you are completing your practicum hours. Incorporate relevant site-specific processes and policies into your implementation plan.
