While the implementation plan prepares students to apply their research to the problem or issue they have identified for their capstone change proposal project, the literature review enables students to map out and move into the active planning and development stages of the project.  A literature review analyzes how current research supports the PICOT, as well as identifies what is known and what is not known in the evidence. Students will use the information from the earlier PICOT Statement Paper and Literature Evaluation Table assignments to develop a 750-1,000 word review that includes the following sections: 

1.Title page 

2.Introduction section 

3.A comparison of research questions 

4.A comparison of sample populations 

5.A comparison of the limitations of the study 

6.A conclusion section, incorporating recommendations for further research 

 Prepare this assignment according to the guidelines found in the APA Style Guide, located in the Student Success Center. An abstract is not required.  This assignment uses a rubric. Please review the rubric prior to beginning the assignment to become familiar with the expectations for successful completion.  You are required to submit this assignment to Turnitin.

Nursing Case Study –Critical Appraisal

NURS90059: Essay on Critical Appraisal – Nurses Make Clinical Decisions Daily | Nursing Case Study Assessment Answers

Assessment Task 1: Nursing Case Study –Critical Appraisal (Individual)

Assessment Purpose: Nurses make clinical decisions daily. The complexity of those decisions increases with increasing scope of practice and decision-making autonomy. To ensure that their decisions are correct and in the best interest of their patients, nurses must engage in critical appraisal of research evidence. To engage in critical appraisal effectively, nurses must develop critical appraisal skills. Such skills are fundamental to systematically examining research evidence to determine its reliability or trustworthiness, its value and application to practice (i.e. relevance to patients). To fulfil this purpose, this assessment asks the students to critically appraise four (4) published research papers. The published research papers have been selected by the subject coordinator and teaching assistants. All students will critically appraise the SAME PAPERS. This assessment is an opportunity for students to practice and gain confidence in their critical appraisal skills. By practicing critical appraisal skills students will be in better position to appraise the research evidence needed to support their evidencebased group projects.

Assessment Outline: Critical appraisal is the systematic evaluation of clinical research papers using appropriate frameworks such as PICOT to answer the following:

Does this study address a clearly focused question?

Did the study use valid methods to address this question?

Discussion: Diagnosis And Management Of Genitourinary Disorders

Many genitourinary (GU) disorders such as kidney disease begin developing during childhood and adolescence (Johns Hopkins Children’s Center, 2010). This early onset of disease makes it essential for you, as the advanced practice nurse caring for pediatric patients, to identify potential signs and symptoms. Although some pediatric GU disorders require long-term treatment and management, other disorders such as bedwetting or urinary tract infections are more common and frequently require only minor interventions. In your role with pediatric patients, you must evaluate symptoms and determine whether to treat patients or refer them for specialized care. For this Discussion, consider potential diagnoses, treatment, and/or referral options for the patients in the following three case studies.

Case Study 1

You see a 3-year-old with a 2-day history of complaints of dysuria with frequent episodes of enuresis despite potty training about 7 months ago. She is afebrile and denies vomiting. Physical examination is normal. Dipstick voided urine analysis reveals: specific gravity 1.015, Protein 1+ non-hemolyzed blood, 1+ nitrites, 1+ leukocytes, and glucose-negative.

Case Study 2

Mark is a 15-year-old with complaint of acute left scrotal pain with nausea. The pain began approximately 6 hours ago as a dull ache and has gradually worsened to where he can no longer stand without doubling over. He is afebrile and in marked pain. Physical exam is negative except for elevation of the left testicle, diffuse scrotal edema, and the presence of a blue dot sign.

Case Study 3

Maya is a 5-year-old who presents for a well-child visit. She is a healthy child with no complaints. Physical examination is normal. Routine urinalysis indicates 2+ proteinuria; specific gravity 1.020; negative for glucose, blood, leukocytes, and nitrites. Her blood pressure is normal, and she is at the 60th percentile for height and weight.

To prepare:

  • Review “Genitourinary Disorders” in the Burns et al. text.
  • Review and select one of the three provided case studies. Analyze the patient information.
  • Consider a differential diagnosis for the patient in the case study you selected. Think about the most likely diagnosis for the patient.
  • Think about a treatment and management plan for the patient. Be sure to consider appropriate dosages for any recommended pharmacologic and/or non-pharmacologic treatments.
  • Consider strategies for educating patients and families on the treatment and management of the genitourinary disorder.

By Day 3

Post an explanation of the differential diagnosis for the patient in the case study you selected. Explain which is the most likely diagnosis for the patient and why. Include an explanation of unique characteristics of the disorder you identified as the primary diagnosis. Then, explain a treatment and management plan for the patient, including appropriate dosages for any recommended treatments. Finally, explain strategies for educating patients and families on the treatment and management of the genitourinary disorder.

JUSTIFY WHY SOCIAL MARKETING IS NEEDED IN TODAY’S SOCIETY TO PROMOTE HEALTH INITIATIVES.

Social Marketing and Healthcare
The past decade has seen an enormous surge in social marketing to convey various messages. Social marketing has also been established as an essential health communications tool to promote health initiatives. Social marketing should not be the only tool to communicate information to the general public, but to complement the existing practices in place.
This week, you will examine the use of social marketing as a communication channel in healthcare. Review the following website article:

Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. (2012). Gateway to health communication & social marketing practice. Retrieved from http://www.cdc.gov/healthcommunication/

Using the readings for the week, the South University Online Library, and the Internet, create a 15- to 20-slide Microsoft PowerPoint presentation with a separate title and reference slide. Include the following:

Justify why social marketing is needed in today’s society to promote health initiatives.
List the numerous communication channels that are used in developing a health campaign.
Describe the process used to identify the population segment that can benefit from a specific health behavior.
Explain how you will evaluate the effectiveness of your communications campaign.
Provide a specific example of how social marketing was used in a health campaign.

DESCRIBE THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN HEALTH LITERACY AND POPULATION HEALTH OUTCOMES.

     Competency 2 Assessment
Instructions: This Competency Assessment will allow you to apply concepts of population-based practice and community as partners.
For this course Competency Assessment, you will need to conduct a community assessment using assessment and evaluation tools, identify principles of community-based participatory research, and describe data sources using mixed methods for evaluation in a particular community context.
Many of you have traveled and participated in international/global immersion experiences, or a local practice where you may be an outsider (not a member of the community for whom you are caring). Others of you may aspire to practice in international settings. Also, in this unit, you have been introduced to the idea of genetics/genomic risks.
For this assignment, submit your assignment in which you do the following:
1. State two issues that may be of concern among vulnerable populations and possible solutions to combat such issues. 
Please Note! 
My 2 Vulnerable Populations are: 
a. Children of low-income families 
b. The Mentally disabled 
Emphasis should be focused on the following topics:
· Increase school dropout.
· Use of Drugs.
· Low quality of health/Poor health outcomes/Inadequate healthcare/ poor healthcare
· Increase risk of chronic health conditions such as diabetes.
· Increase mental health needs
2. Succinctly describe the relationship between health literacy and population health outcomes. 
3. What has been your experiences understanding 1) and 2).  
4. As you process some of the ethical issues and concerns about ethical engagement highlighted in the readings and media offerings for this unit
Please identify how you will ensure your engagement is helpful rather than well intended but ineffective (or worse).
· Submit your reflection by the last day of this unit.
(min. 5 pages- not including cover page or references)

 
Studies of parenting find that low family income and maternal hardship hamper children’s cognitive and social competence. 14 Moreover, parents in poor living environments have difficulty nurturing and protecting their children, increasing the likelihood that children will gravitate into activities and peer associations leading to school dropout, premature sexual experience, use of drugs, and other deviant behavior. 15 Family deprivations also increase the probability of abuse and neglect of children, who then seek to escape the household early, associate with inappropriate peers, form tenuous sexual partnerships, have early pregnancies, and often replicate the pattern of inadequate parenting they experienced as children. 16
Recommendation
Payments to health plans and providers should promote quality health care and improved health and functional status for all patients, including vulnerable populations. Adjusting payments for differences in health or functional status is especially important for Medicare, Medicaid, and other payers that have significant enrollment of individuals with chronic illness or disability so that health plans and providers have an incentive for developing innovative models of care that best serve these individuals
Additional investment should be provided for developing, evaluating, and supporting effective health care delivery models designed to meet the specific needs of vulnerable populations. The lack of evidence of effective approaches to enhance the health and functional status of persons with chronic illness or disabilities suggests the need for significant additional investment in research and innovation for health care and rehabilitation programs serving these patients. In addition, telemedicine and similar innovations, incentives for health care professionals to practice in underserved areas, and enhanced availability of prehospital emergency services should be assessed as approaches for improving the access to care of those facing geographic barriers to appropriate care.
