She states that she has never had anything like this before, and the pain is subsiding a little now.

• What should be included in the physical examination at this visit?
• What are the possible differential diagnoses at this time?
• What tests should you order and why?
• How should this patient be managed?

Evidence-Based Practice Proposal

In week 2, you submitted the introduction to your EBP proposal, which included the research question or statement and the background and clinical significance of your EBP project. The introduction is the first section of your EBP project proposal. You will be submitting the corrected introduction of your EBP proposal as part of this assignment (your introduction re-write based upon the instructor’s feedback from Week 2’s
assignment).
In addition, you will be building upon the introduction by submitting the second section of your proposal: the nursing (or other discipline’s) theory that provides a framework for your EBP proposal and the preliminary literature review on the research topic that you have chosen. You may need to pull out the theory book that was used in the course NUR502 to refresh your knowledge on nursing theories. Your readings from Week 2 are directly related to how theory informs research and the significance of the literature review.
“The goal of searching the literature to discover what is known about your topic” (Tappen, 2011, p.11). During your literature review on your EBP topic, you may be able identify gaps in the literature, you may find that there has not been a recent study on the topic that you have chosen, or you may find rich, detailed nursing articles on the topic, that lead you on the path of discovery.
Using the information that you have gleaned from your readings, please follow the assignment guidelines as outlined below.
1. Complete all of the required readings with particular attention paid to the readings that cover the literature review and theory. You may want to review the PowerPoint from week 1, “How to Write a Research Proposal.”
2. Submit the corrected introduction from Week 2’s assignment along with the remaining assignment components as outlined below.
3. Identify and describe a theory from nursing or from another discipline that provides the framework for your EBP proposal. Explain your rationale for picking this theory. You are encouraged to consult with your instructor to get guidance on this piece of the assignment.
4. Conduct a literature review on the topic that you have chosen and summarize the knowledge on your topic using a minimum of 5 and a maximum of 10 different and current nursing articles, textbooks or websites (current within 5 years).
4. Follow APA format including cover page, header, in-text citations, and reference list.
5. Use correct grammar, spelling and punctuation that adhere to the Master’s Level writing requirements.
