The student will review assigned readings and/or textbooks and then discuss the Doctor of Nursing Practice (DNP) Project clinical practice problem or problem identified that can be addressed through an evidence-based practice project. Students should consider theories provided in assigned readings and any additional resource readings, to determine how a theoretical framework can be applied to the clinical practice problem.
Assignment Criteria:
Develop a scholarly paper that addresses the following criteria:
1. Select two theories (one nursing and another theory or two nursing theories) that can support the underpinnings of the
identified DNP clinical problem.
a. For this assignment only, may use references older than five years old.
2. Summarize the two selected theories.
3. Describe the DNP clinical problem.
4. Select the best theoretical framework to support the clinical practice problem.
a. It is important to select a theory applicable to the DNP project of interest.
b. Chapter 1 of the DNP project will require a clear and logical application of a theoretical framework.
5. Discuss why the selected theory was chosen.
6. Apply the theory directly to the DNP clinical practice problem.
7. Discuss how the theory will guide or support the theoretical framework of the clinical practice problem.
a. Consider the components/variables of the theory and how they will be applied to the DNP clinical practice problem.
b. Be specific. This section will be used as the DNP project’s basic underpinning for Chapter 1 theoretical discussion.
8. The scholarly paper should be in narrative format, 4 to 6 pages in length, excluding the title and reference page.
9. Include an introductory paragraph, purpose statement, and a conclusion.
10. Include level 1 and 2 headings to organize the paper.
11. Write the paper in third person, not first person (meaning do not use ‘we’ or ‘I’) and in a scholarly manner. To clarify: I, we,
you, me, our may not be used. In addition, describing yourself as the researcher or the author should not be used.
12. Include at least five professional peer-reviewed scholarly journal references to support the paper (review in Ulrich Periodical
Directory). Sources older than five (5) years old are acceptable for this assignment only.
13. APA format required (attention to spelling/grammar, a title page, a reference page, and in-text citations).
14. Submit the assignment to Turnitin prior to the final submission, review the originality report, and make any needed changes.
15. Submit by the posted due date.

The student will evaluate specified readings and/or textbooks before discussing the clinical practice problem or challenge identified for a DNP Project. Theoretical frameworks should be applied to clinical practice problems using theories from assigned readings and extra resource readings.
The following requirements must be addressed in the assignment:
1. Choose two theories (one nursing and another nursing theory or two nursing theories) to support the DNP clinical problem.
a. Only use sources older than five years for this project.
Describe the two theories.
3. State the DNP clinical issue.
Choose the optimal theoretical framework for the clinical practice issue.
a. Pick a theory that applies to your DNP project.
b. Chapter 1 of the DNP project requires a theoretical framework to be applied logically.
5. Explain the chosen theory.

7. Explain how the theory will guide or support the clinical practice problem.
a. Examine the theory’s components/variables and how they relate to the DNP clinical practice dilemma.
b. Specify. This section will serve as the theoretical foundation for Chapter 1 of the DNP project.
It should be 4 to 6 pages long, excluding the title and reference pages.
9. Include an introduction, a goal, and a conclusion.
10. Use level 1 and 2 headings to organize.
11. Write in third person, not first (no ‘we’ or ‘I’) and scholarly. No use of I, we, you, me, or our. Also, do not refer to yourself as a researcher or author.
Twelve professional peer-reviewed scholarly journal references are required (see Ulrich Periodical Directory). Only sources older than five (5) years are acceptable.
A title page, a reference page, and in-text citations are necessary.
Send the assignment to Turnitin before submitting it, check the originality report, and make revisions if needed.
15. Submit by the deadline.
