NU310-6: Synthesize research evidence for best practice to improve patient outcomes.

Read this Article

The purpose of this assignment is for you to incorporate research evidence into a clinical model for a practice change. Using the Iowa Model for Evidence Based Practice as a guide, develop a concept map/schematic that shows the pathways necessary for a clinical change that you would like to see implemented in your current practice setting.

The concept map should include the 7 steps below in schematic format:

1. Formulate a clinical problem that is nursing sensitive and patient focused. Develop a PICO statement to articulate a research question>

P=Population (Who is your population of interest to be affected?)

I= Intervention (What intervention will you implement to address the clinical problem?)

C= Comparison (Will you be comparing one intervention with another or an intervention with existing protocols?)

O= Outcome (What is the desired outcome from the intervention?)

T= Time (How long will the change take to implement?)

2. Determine organizational commitment

3. Develop a team to gather and appraise evidence

4. Determine if reasonable evidence exists to implement the clinical change

5. Implement a pilot change to test the feasibility

6. Evaluate the change/plan

7. Disseminate the results.

The schematic/concept map should fit on one page. On a separate page, explain the rationale and process of each step of your model (briefly), incorporating references as cite sources in correct 6th edition APA style and format. You do not need to include a title page for this assignment. Provide your reference list on a separate page, with between 4-5 current scholarly references. The total submission should be no more than 3 pages.

One method that supports the clinical decision making of drug therapy plans for asthmatic patients is the stepwise approach, which you explore in this Assignment.

To Prepare

• Reflect on drugs used to treat asthmatic patients, including long-term control and quick relief treatment options for patients. Think about the impact these drugs might have on patients, including adults and children.
• Consider how you might apply the stepwise approach to address the health needs of a patient in your practice.
• Reflect on how stepwise management assists health care providers and patients in gaining and maintaining control of the disease.

By Day 7 of Week 3

Create a 5- to 6-slide PowerPoint presentation that can be used in a staff development meeting on presenting different approaches for implementing the stepwise approach for asthma treatment. Be sure to address the following:

• Describe long-term control and quick relief treatment options for the asthma patient from your practice as well as the impact these drugs might have on your patient.
• Explain the stepwise approach to asthma treatment and management for your patient.
• Explain how stepwise management assists health care providers and patients in gaining and maintaining control of the disease. Be specific.

Watch the TED talk on Sugar Addiction – Sugar is Not a Treat | Jody Stanislaw | TEDxSunValley. 

Answer the following in 3 pages

1.   Relate the information in the video to drug addiction. Why is it so easy for some to resist addiction and difficult for others? (use your text and other sources).

2.   Explain how sugar triggers the same parts of our brain as other addictive substances such as cocaine and nicotine. Use the text and other sources.

3.   Describe how the main theme resonated with you or what information you learned you previously did not know? How will this information impact your life going forward?

Find an article that discusses the issue of addiction-related to food. Summarize the article and cite your sources. The summary should be 2 pages.

Total 5 pages

Don’t forget to cite your sources. APA or MLA (Make sure they are from reputable sources). Your citations of websites and articles within should be formatted correctly. Include the YouTube video in your references. Go to the LRC website and you will find instructions for citing an article found on a website and citing content found on a website. Do this correctly as it is worth 10pts out of the total.

Your paper should be in the following format:

• Your reference page must include at least 5 sources (you should have the YouTube video and your text should be one of the sources) This page does not count toward the 5 pages.
• 1 inch margins, 12pt font and double spaced.

5 pages total not counting your reference page. You must use your text as one of the references.

 For various reasons, there is a shortage of racial and ethnic diversity in the medical workforce. 

Underrepresentation in the medical profession of racial and ethnic backgrounds means that the perspectives and rich knowledge of people of color do not affect the practice of medicine in a proportionate manner and lead to the creativity and change required to improve patient care.

Proposal Topic: why there is a need for ethnic dermatologist in cultural communities

1. What is your rationale for addressing the problem you have chosen? What contribution will examining this problem make to you professionally as you enter the field? Make sure to utilize quantitative and qualitative data from scholarly sources to support your rationale.
2. What resources will you require to complete your project? Consider, in particular, time required to conduct background research and acquire necessary source documents.
3. To what extent was selection of this project topic and form based upon evidence from the scholarly literature? Please explain.

Length: 4 pages, APA format, scholarly sources required from 2015-2020

Think of an example you’ve seen in practice that exemplifies some of the principles of chaos theory, complexity science or paradexity?  How does the theory explain what happened?
