The next steps in the design of your research plan is to choose an evidence-based change in practice or intervention to address the identified problem which is: The Evidence-based change in practice to address the identified problem of postpartum pain management chosen is the implementation of a multimodal pain management approach. write a research question, write a hypothesis, and choose a theory that can be used to guide your project. In this activity you are asked to discuss the evidence-based change in practice or intervention you plan to use to address the identified problem, write your planned project’s research question, write your planned project’s hypothesis, and discuss and choose a theory that may be used to guide your project.
When choosing the theory that will guide a project remember the tenets of the theory must align with the planned evidence-based change in practice or intervention. The evidence-based change or intervention is used as a solution to address the problem that has been identified. For this activity you will discuss at least two potential theories, the tenets of each theory, the alignment of the theory with the evidence-based change or intervention, and the rationale for choosing the one theory you will use to guide your project plan.
You may choose a nursing, leadership, informatics, or educational theorist, remember chose the theory whose tenets align best with the project’s planned evidence-based change in practice or intervention.

Introduction:
In this task, you will identify a healthcare problem, develop an evidence-based practice (EBP) question, and review selected research-based and non-research-based evidence to find answers to that question.
Note that while you will be analyzing only one research-based and one non-research-based article in this task, an actual evidence-based practice change would require the support of many high-quality research studies.

E1: Explain how you would involve three key stakeholders in supporting the practice change recommendation.
E2: Discuss one specific barrier you may encounter when implementing the practice change recommendation.
E3: Identify one strategy that could be used to overcome the barrier discussed in E2.
E4: Identify one outcome (the O component in PICO) from your EBP question that can be used to measure the recommended practice change. F: Acknowledge sources, using in-text citations and references, for content that is quoted, paraphrased, or summarized.
