- Practice Problem (Completed in Week 1)=
In hospice, one of the goals is to have skilled nurse visits at least 3 days prior to death and at least 3-6 days prior to death. If we track ESAS it is supposed to help indicate who we can expect to pass away based on changes reported and then be able to increase nursing visits-however to be effective the data has to be accurate. Are we asking the patient or caregivers the 10 symptoms or just guessing based on our assessment
my wk one is totally different because I had to change topicsm so information will need to be added to this section.
Please include information from discussions and everything below. In the literature review, you don’t have to worry about the bottom 5 that are not relatated to the ESAS but my help and can use it.
I answered the questions above a little and will attach the graphs that should be included
- State the practice problem in measurable terms.
- State the data that suggests a practice problem exists
- Include a purpose statement.

Identify research, clinical guidelines, expert opinions, and other relevant information. You must include two-three research studies in your analysis. Using your own words synthesize the evidence that supports your identified practice problem. There should be no quotes or personal opinions included in this section.
