Case Study: Frameworks for nursing Research

A group of nurses working in a hospital observed that some patients with chronic renal insufficiency were less cooperative due to being anxious and unable to think clearly. They also noted that these patients were less likely to ambulate and actively participate in their care, unless there was a family member present. Through reviewing the literature, the nurses identified a lack of knowledge about the effects of renal insufficiency on ambulation. The nurses collaborated with an educator with a doctoral degree and developed a proposal for a descriptive, longitudinal study of ambulation and family presence of patients with chronic insufficiency. The framework of the study was synthesized from physiological principles and a theory of family presence and presented as a model.

The study was designed to answer the following questions:

a. How do renal insufficiency, ambulation, and family presence change over the course of hospitalization?

· b. What are the relationships among renal insufficiency, ambulation, and family presence?

Question 1

In your own words, describe the physiological theory that supports the relationship between renal insufficiency and ambulation.

Question 2

The second research question elicits information about relationships, what type of statistical analysis will be done if the data meets the assumptions for a parametric test?

1)

Submit care plans on the care of the patient during  :

            Pregnancy

            Labor and Delivery

            Post-partum

Submit 1 care plans for each. 

Format should have: 

    Assessment

    nursing Diagnosis

    Planning

    Implementation

    Evaluation

It should be typewritten. 

2).

Identify OUTREACH ( Government agencies) in your community ( area where you live) Indianapolis, that provide free health care for services for pregnant women and newborns.

Programs such as:Prenatal Clinic and or  Family Planning Centers e.g  WIC Clinics, etc. 

Write a  paper relating the services that they provide.  

Please include health education teachings for the pregnant women in your community that also includes  educating them about the services that is available within your community. 

1. Please describe a COVID-19 pandemic related clinical practice problem (please discuss students not being able to come in person to learn and practice nursing skills)

2. Discuss a change that was implemented in the school setting to promote positive student outcomes (please discuss allowing more students in the classroom and class activities

3. Discuss why it is so important to analyze the effectiveness of changes in practice (AACN; 2006) DNP Essentials.

  • Express opinions clearly and logically, in a professional manner
• Use the rubric on this page as you compose your answers.
• Scholarly sources are NOT required for this reflection
• Best Practices include: 
  • Participation early in the week is encouraged to stimulate meaningful discussion among classmates and instructor.
  • Enter the reflection often during the week to read and learn from posts.
  • Select different classmates for your reply each week.

Reflection Question   

Catherine McAuley’s philosophy of careful nursing was applicable in pre-Nightingale times and is still applicable today. Select one of  the 10 key concepts of careful nursing. Reflect on how that concept  might have been applied in McAuley’s time and how it is applied in your professional nursing practice today.
