How are research and EBP different and how does research support EBP?

/in /by

Purpose
This week’s graded topics relate to the following Course Outcomes (COs).
CO 3: Identify ethical issues common to research involving human subjects. (PO 6)
CO 5: Recognize the role of research findings in evidence-based practice. (PO 7 & 8)
Discussion
We begin our journey into discovering the new world of research and evidence-based practice (EBP) by exploring our past. After completing the required readings and lesson, answer the following:
Explain how research has evolved since the Florence Nightingale era.
Discuss how research and EBP are different; include how you believe research supports EBP for nursing.
Describe one past/historical unethical breach of research conduct; then, share how you would ensure care of a study participant using one ethical or legal research consideration (guideline/principle)
Hello Class,
Why should nurses incorporate research? How could it (or does it?) impact your nursing practice? Think about these questions as you complete the assigned readings this week. Our profession was founded by Florence Nightingale, who was not just our nursing pioneer, but a researcher, too. In the last few years, we have seen many trends pushing nurses to have a professional practice based on evidence. With that as our beginning, consider our week’s discussion:
1. How has research evolved since Florence Nightingale?
2. How are research and EBP different and how does research support EBP?
3. Unfortunately, despite the positive impact research and EBP has, there have been major cases of research misconduct. Please choose one historical case and how you would engage in ethical treatment of a research participant.
Professor’s comment: This week, we will meet the following course outcomes:
Identify ethical issues common to research involving human subjects.
Recognize the role of research findings in evidence-based practice.
You may begin posting in this thread no sooner than the first Sunday of week one. Posts prior to this time will not receive credit. I look forward to your thoughts! Dr. Smailes

Disease Model Versus Positive Psychology Worksheet
Read the scenario and answer the questions in no less than 200 words each. Support your responses with detail from this week’s assigned video and reading. Include APA-formatted citations and references.
William is a 44-year old project manager for a large commercial construction firm. He started out as a gifted carpenter who greatly enjoyed designing and building custom furniture. However, after several promotions, he focuses on bringing in new business. He spends many work hours at his computer or on the telephone. He is divorced and rarely sees his two daughters. In recent years, he has gained weight and is displeased with his appearance, but has no interest in or energy for exercise. He does not sleep well because he worries about business problems at night. He was recently diagnosed with high blood pressure. Although he is financially secure, he rarely takes vacations or socializes outside of the office. He has begun to feel that his life is pointless.

Discuss William’s situation from the perspective of traditional psychology. What information would be most important? What conclusions and recommendations might be made by a psychologist working from the disease model?
Discuss William’s situation from the perspective of positive psychology. What information would be most important? What conclusions and recommendations might be made by a psychologist working from the positive psychology model?

How would the EHR team ensure that all order sets are part of the new record?

/in /by

This benchmark assignment assesses the following programmatic competencies:
2.3: Develop leadership skills to collaborate on interprofessional teams in the provision of evidence-based, patient-centered care.
5.2: Apply professional, ethical, and regulatory standards of practice in the provision of safe, effective health care.
One way informatics can be especially valuable is in capturing data to inspire improvements and quality change in practice. The Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ) collects data related to adverse events and safety concerns. If you are working within a practice setting to implement a new electronic health record (EHR) system, this is just one of the many considerations your team would need to plan for during the rollout process.
In a paper of 1,250-1,500 words, address the following questions related to the advanced registered nurse’s role during this type of scenario:
What key information would be needed in the database that would allow you to track opportunities for care improvement?
What role does informatics play in the ability to capture this data?
Which systems and staff members would need to be involved in the design and implementation process and team?
What professional, ethical, and regulatory standards must be incorporated into the design and implementation of the system?
How would the EHR team ensure that all order sets are part of the new record?
How would you communicate the changes, including any kind of transition plan?
What measures and steps would you take to evaluate the success of the EHR implementation from a staff, setting, and patient perspective?
What leadership skills and theories would facilitate collaboration with the interprofessional team and provide evidence-based, patient-centered care?
You are required to cite five to 10 sources to complete this assignment. Sources must be published within the last 5 years and appropriate for the assignment criteria and nursing content.
Prepare this assignment according to the guidelines found in the APA Style Guide, located in the Student Success Center. An abstract is not required.

Discuss the factors that influence the formation of kidney stones.

/in /by

The disorder I chose is Nephrolithiasis (kidney stones). “Kidney stones, or calculi, form in the kidneys as a result of precipitation of urinary constituents and may develop in one or both of the kidneys” (Cunningham, Noble, Al-Modhefer, & Walsh, 2016, p.1112). I personally know a good many people who have had kidney stones in the past or even suffer from chronic kidney stones. I know a patient who suffered with chronic kidney stones for several years in a row and it seemed like nothing fixed her problem. The doctors said she was keeping them due to her drinking sweet tea. She quit drinking tea and still had them. Here recently she has randomly quit getting them as much even though she has not changed her diet except still not drinking sweet tea. She has had lithotripsy 4 times in the years that she had chronic kidney stones. “The first line treatment choice for upper urinary tract calculi is currently shock wave lithotripsy (SWL)” (Yamashita et al., 2018, p.1).
Kidney stones cause extreme amounts of pain. The patient I know, when she gets kidney stones, also has nausea and vomiting due to the pain caused by kidney stones. Treatment of kidney stones include treating the pain, helping the stone to pass or removing them, and preventing new stones from forming. Symptoms of kidney stones include flank pain and blood in the urine.
“The prevalence of stones in the United States is approximately 7% in women and 10% in men” (Huether &McCance, 2017, p.748). Before doing my research on kidney stones, I thought they were more prevalent in women, but men have a 3% higher chance of getting them than women. “The risk of urinary calculi formation is influenced by a number of factors, including age, sex, race, geographic location, seasonal factors, fluid intake, diet, and occupation. Most persons develop their first stone before age 50 years” (Huether &McCance, 2017, p.748).
There are many factors that influence the formations of kidney stones. People who are more active and drink plenty of water are at a decreased risk of forming kidney stones. There are also multiple types of kidney stones like calcium stones, struvite stones, and uric acid stones. Everything that happens in our bodies can be brought back to cellular function.
Huether & McCanee, 2017, p.749, stated:
Human urine contains many ions capable of precipitating from solution and forming a variety of salts. The salts from crystals that are retained grow into stones. Crystallization is the process by which crystals grow from a small nidus of nucleus to larger stones in the presence of supersaturated urine.
If doctors can pinpoint what type of kidney stone a patient is forming, they can most likely fix the problem.
Discuss the factors that influence the formation of kidney stones.

Explain at least three (3) of the most common reasons why all Americans don’t have access to health care

/in /by

Paper, Order, or Assignment Requirements Few would argue against the notion that health care is a service most Americans need. After the rollout of the Affordable Care Act (ACA), one central question that came up for national debate was whether access to health care was a fundamental right or whether it was a privilege. In a 1-2 page paper, written in APA format, address the following:
• Explain at least three (3) of the most common reasons why all Americans don’t have access to health care in the United States even after the ACA.
• Express your opinion about whether you think access to health care is a right or privilege. Explain your reasoning and provide references as needed to support your opinion.
