Based on your learning activities, respond to the following prompts. Be sure to support your answers with references when needed.
Identify a cultural model or theory that can be used to guide your proposal. You may use the Purnell Model for Cultural Competence (in the Learning & Assessment Activities) or another model you may already be working with in your specialty track, like Madeline Leininger or Josepha Campinha-Bacote (Links to an external site.). Examine how you will apply the concept(s) from that theory/model to your proposal (1-2 paragraphs).

Discuss the range of evidence you will use to implement your EBP proposal. Include a brief analysis of the applicability of the external evidence you have found thus far, and whether clinical guidelines (discussed on pp. 233 – 247 in Melnyk & Fineout-Overholt, 2019) will be used to manage your practice change. Explain how you will incorporate cultural considerations, contextual factors, patient values, and patient preferences in your proposal (1-2 paragraphs).
Typically, in academic writing, you will not simply paraphrase a single sentence; instead, you will often summarize information from more than one sentence – you will read a section of text, such as a part of a paragraph, a whole paragraph, or even more than one paragraph, and you will extract and synthesize information from what you have read. This means you will summarize that information and cite it.
Paraphrase/summarize the evidence and then include a citation with the following information (A more detailed explanation of documentation, including citations, can be found in the Documentation unit of this course reader):EXCELSIOR – NUR513 RESEARCH AND EVIDENCE-BASED PRACTICE Module 5 Discussion
