The theoretical foundations of qualitative and quantitative methods are very different, but many researchers believe both methods should be used in research studies to increase validity and reliability. 

What advantages or disadvantages do you see in using both types of methods in a nursing study? 

Provide an example of a nursing practice problem that could be studied using a mixed methods approach.

Initial discussion question posts should be a minimum of 200 words and include at least two references cited using APA 7 format

According to the textbook, nurses in various settings are adopting a research-based (or evidence-based) practice that incorporates research findings into their decisions and interactions with patients. 

Analyze the role nurses play in improving health care quality and safety through the use of evidence-based practice (EBP). 

How do you see this role being applied in your workplace? 

What internal stakeholder perspectives would you need to consider, including stakeholder support, in order to successfully implement an EBP project in your workplace?

Initial discussion question posts should be a minimum of 200 words and include at least two references cited using APA 7 format.

Week 6 Discussion NR 507

/in /by

My disease process condition is Peptic Ulcer Disease (PUD)

The purpose of this discussion is to examine an assigned disease process and determine which disease process explored in the discussion Bayani, the client, is experiencing. 

 client scenario:  

 Bayani, a 62-year-old male client, presents to the NP with abdominal pain with his wife. Bayani is mildly confused, and according to his wife, he is normally fully oriented. His abdomen is soft and non-distended, and his wife states he has been urinating and drinking more water than usual. She also states he has had foul-smelling urine and is concerned he also has a urinary tract infection.  

 

Answer all questions/criteria with explanations and detail. 

  1. Discuss the underlying pathophysiological mechanisms of your assigned disease process. Which clinical manifestations observed in Bayani’s case could be explained by the pathophysiological mechanisms? 
  2. Analyze Bayani’s clinical manifestations in the context of your assigned disease process. Do these findings support a diagnosis of your assigned disease process? Why or why not?  
  3. Identify and justify the diagnostic tests (including labs, imaging, or other diagnostic tests) that would be most appropriate for investigating a diagnosis of your assigned disease process in Bayani. What could the results of these tests look like in your assigned disease process? 
  4. Compare and contrast your response with a peer assigned a different condition. Does their condition fit Bayani’s case? Why or why not?

Quality Management and Control

/in /by

Zanderville Healthcare Systems, a regional acute care facility in the foothills of the Appalachians, is committed to delivering quality healthcare to its local and neighboring communities. The population it serves is diverse by gender and ethnicity. The primary payer for healthcare services is CMS. Over the past six months, the acute care facility has experienced a 25 % increase in readmissions from this payer group within the first 30 days of discharge. The economic impact on the health system has been negative, and patients’ satisfaction with their hospital experience has declined. Senior leadership has charged you, the nurse executive, to convene an ad-hoc task force to perform an outcomes audit and propose an intervention. Currently, patients receive a follow-up telephone call about 7 days following discharge. You decide to use an evidence-based practice approach and have the following information for the “working” PICOT:

P: CMS patients readmitted within 30 days of discharge

I: What will we do differently to impact the improved outcome

(State what this is)

C: Follow-up phone call 7 days after discharge

O: Reduce readmission rate of CMS patients from ____ to ____…..

T: Over next six months

If this were happening in your organization, discuss:

Whom will you include in your task force?

What outcomes measures will you audit?

Where will you obtain the data to determine your baseline and goal regarding the percentage of readmissions within 30 days of discharge?

What specific outcome do you want to achieve?

What standard or benchmark will you use for the outcome? What does your organization use as a benchmark for readmissions within 30 days of discharge?

Describe the intervention you will use to achieve your goal.

Then, restate the completed PICOT using the information you have collected related to the intervention and outcomes.  

o Demonstrate application of scholarly resources. 

§ Provide relevant evidence of two scholarly resources in the initial post, clearly stating how the evidence informed or changed professional or academic decisions.

§ One scholarly resource must be from a nursing peer-reviewed journal.

o Demonstrate application of course knowledge. 

§ Demonstrate the ability to analyze, synthesize, and/or apply principles and concepts learned in the course lesson and outside readings and relate them to real-life, professional situations.
