CLINICAL PRACTICE PROJECT GOALS AND OBJECTIVES

M1 A1 WA: INSTRUCTIONS – CLINICAL PRACTICE PROJECT GOALS AND OBJECTIVES

Overview

 The Clinical  Practice Project is the culminating academic endeavor of nursing students who earn a baccalaureate degree in nursing from Ohio University. The clinical practice project provides students with the opportunity to explore a problem or issue of particular personal or professional interest that is somehow related to one of the following nursing competencies: patient-centered care, teamwork/collaboration, evidence based practice, quality improvement, safety or informatics (QSEN: http://www.qsen.org)-Please use the Graduate Competencies to complete your assignment.

The project must demonstrate your ability to synthesize and apply the knowledge and skills acquired through this academic program to real-world nursing issues and problems. This final project will affirm your ability to think critically and creatively, to solve practical problems related to nursing practice or the facilitation of patient-centered care, to make reasoned and ethical decisions, and to communicate effectively orally and in writing.  Remember, your project is to be actually implemented during the five weeks of this course.

NOTE: This is slightly different than the form that you submitted for approval in NRSE_4600_Pre-course.

Introduction
Opioid abuse in the world is on the rise and it has significant social and economic implications. Opioid addiction is characterized by behaviors including compulsive use, craving, continued use despite harm and impaired control over drug use. Pain is more prevalent in patients with opioid addiction for physiologic and psychological reasons. Studies indicate that 61 percent of patients receiving methadone maintenance for instance report chronic pain while 37 percent report severe chronic pain.
