Create a table in which you propose the calculation and graphs you will need to perform to answer the health question you are investigating. Then explain why you chose these calculations to explore your health question.Health Question: To what extent does age influence length of hospital stay for MI patients? From the following Articles:• Gender-specific characteristics of individuals with depressive symptoms and coronary heart disease.Baseline characteristicsComparisons of variables by genderOf the 1951 patients with CHD with depressive symptoms above community norms, 691 (35.4%) were women. In contrast, among patients without depressive symptoms, 395 (26.9%) were women (P < .001). Sample demographic and clinical characteristics of patients with CHD with and without depressive symptoms are compared by gender inTables I and II. Among those with depressive symptoms, compared with men, women were older, more poorly educated, more likely to be single and not working, and more likely to have government-only or no health insurance. Compared with men with depressive symptoms, women with depressive symptoms were less likely to have a history of MI or revascularization by PCI or bypass surgery, or to have attended cardiac rehabilitation programs. Conversely, women with depressive symptoms were more likely to have angina and hypertension than men with depressive symptoms. With few exceptions, gender comparisons of the 2 samples (with and without depressive symptoms) were similar. The only differences between samples with and without depressive symptoms were for history of MI, angina, or cardiac rehabilitation attendance. In the sample without depressive symptoms, there were no gender differences in these clinical characteristics.Table I.Bivariate comparisons of demographic characteristics in men and women with coronary heart disease with and without depressive symptomsVariable Sample without depressive symptoms (N = 1468)________________________________________ Sample with depressive symptoms (N = 1951)________________________________________Male (N = 1073) Female (N = 1129) P Male (N = 1260) Female (N = 691) PMean (SD) Mean (SD) Mean (SD) Mean (SD)Age y 67.4 (10.1) 69.6 (9.8) <.001 65.5 (11.6) 68.3 (11.5) <.001N (%) N (%) OR (95% CI) N (%) N (%) OR (95% CI)High school education or less 299 (27.9) 172 (43.5) 2.00 (1.57-2.54) <.001 438 (34.8) 379 (54.8) 2.28 (1.89-2.76) <.001Single 197 (18.4) 195 (49.4) 4.34 (3.38-5.57) <.001 276 (21.9) 344 (49.8) 3.53 (2.89-4.32) <.001Uninsured or government-only health insurance 494 (46.0) 639 (56.6) 1.39 (1.10-1.75) .006 610 (48.4) 389 (56.3) 1.37 (1.1-1.65) .001Non-Caucasian 96 (8.9) 39 (9.9) 1.12 (.75-1.65) .586 100 (7.9) 58 (8.4) 1.06 (.7-1.49) .723Not working 716 (66.7) 314 (79.5) 1.93 (1.47-2.55) <.001 840 (66.7) 577 (83.5) 2.53 (2.0-3.19) <.001CI, confidence interval; OR, odds ratio; SD, standard deviation.•Gender Differences in Self-Reported Symptoms of Depression among Patients with Acute Coronary Syndrome.Table 1: Comparison of demographic and clinical health characteristics of acute coronary syndrome patients.

I would like to use this information in my nursing research paper. It needs to be (APA) 10 pages, not including title and reference pages,I. IntroductionThe main points in my guideline are:A. Identify fall risk factors associated in hospital, home healthcare, long-term and hospice facilities.B. Explore safety guidelines established to prevent falls.C. Create or identify a fall risk assessment which will properly alert staff to the patient’s risk for falls.a. Increase education and awareness in fall prevention.My guideline is Fall prevention. In: Evidence-based geriatric nursing protocols for best practice. This guideline was taken from the Hartford Institute for Geriatric Nursing- Academic Institution.Having a family member fall and as a registered nurse in many diverse settings, I have come to realize the importance of assessing patients for fall risks. There are numerous aspects to consider including age, cognition, and medications. Consequences of falls should not be underestimated. Evidence-based research has improved our need to recognize the need for prevention and education. It is crucial to determine individualized risks for a falls in hospitalized and home healthcare patients.II. Theoretical Foundation for the TopicA. The theoretical foundation for the topic is based on Jean Watson�s Caring Theory. The caring moment is the focal point of time in which the nurse cares for another is where human interaction takes place. It consists of the goals and expectations of both the nurse and client or individual being cared for, and the consciousness involved in the caring situation. It requires above all else a conscious presence.B. Watson emphasized that to be highly involved with caring, a nurse must first become conscious and aware of what is taking place in the immediate moment. Prevention and education of falls in hospitalized patients� encompasses greater wholeness in the community and can resonate from the energy established by such practices.III. Review of LiteratureI used the Jacksonville University Swisher Library database, Ovid, to search for related literature. The search terms I used were fall risks in hospitalized and non-hospitalized patients. The years of the articles were 2006 � 2012.Many risk factors can be changed or modified to help prevent falls. Research has identified many conditions that contribute to falling. These are the most common aspects that will be addressed:A. Older adults who survive a fall experience significant morbidity.a. Falls are the most common cause of traumatic brain injuries and wrist, arm, ankle, or hip fractures.B. Certain medications, like blood thinners, can be a serious risk factor.C. Many people who fall, even if they�re not injured, become afraid of falling.D. Direct medical costs for fall injuries are costlyIV. Recommendations for PracticeFalls don’t “just happen.” Simple modifications can help reduce the risk of falling. A number of interventions targeted to individuals have been shown to work, but population-based strategies have not been properly evaluated. These points to the need for monitoring and further evaluation including:A. Administering and providing a determination of risk for falling, based on gender, mental and emotional status, symptoms of dizziness, and known categories of medications increasing risk.B. Addressing fall hazards, such as volunteering information such as information on their states� fall-prevention screenings, referrals, and programs.C. Safety rounding, a nurse would check that all precautions to prevent falls were in place, including fall risk armbands, signs, and bed alarms.D. Having a global electronic health record to alert hospitals, doctor�s offices and home care givers access to the patient�s risks for falls.V. ConclusionFall risk warrants thorough assessment as well as prompt intervention and treatment. There are usually more than one underlying cause or risk factor is involved in a fall. Older adults who have already experienced a fall are at risk for more falls.A. Fall prevention programs can be cost effective, although more research is required.B. Electronic health records with targeted interventions that prompt and alert caregivers to modify and/or reduce specific risk factors present.C. Health and community care organizations need to work together to prioritize fall prevention as part of their overall strategy for promoting a healthy standard of living of advanced years. This helps with post-fall assessments which are essential for evidenced-based approaches to fall risk factor reduction.
