NursingResearchT1Q2

The first step of the evidence-based practice process is to evaluate a nursing practice environment to identify a nursing problem in the clinical area. When a nursing problem is discovered, the nurse researcher develops a clinical guiding question to address that nursing practice problem.

For this discussion question, you will create a clinical guiding question known as a PICOT question. The PICOT question must be relevant to a nursing practice problem (coordination of health care, assessment, education, patient support, trauma prevention, recovery, health screenings, etc.).

After reviewing the relevant topic materials:

  1. Select a nursing practice problem of interest.
  2. Develop a PICOT question using the template and example provided below.
  3. Identify two articles, one qualitative and one quantitative, related to the problem of interest. Provide an APA-formatted reference for each article, and explain how each relates to your PICOT question. Be sure to identify which article is qualitative and which article is quantitative. These articles may be used in this week’s assignment.

PICOT question intervention format:

In_______________(Population), how does _______________ (Intervention) compared to _______________ (Comparison) affect _______________ (Outcome) within______________(Time, optional)?

Example: In critically ill patients in an Intensive Care Unit (ICU) (P), how do daily 2% chlorhexidine cloth baths (I) compared to daily disposable non-antimicrobial cloth baths (C) affect the incidence of health care-associated infections (HAIs) (O)?

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

nursing statistics

 

  • Which graph/chart is most appropriate for percentages? The y-axis should reflect the entire ranges of possible values for a statistic in order to accurately illustrate the relative size of the values from each group. What is the range of possible scores for percentages?
  • What are degrees of freedom (df) related to inferential statistical testing? Why are they important? How are the dfs calculated for chi-square? How are they calculated for t-tests?
  • Cohen’s d is the appropriate statistic when differences in mean values are determined. What is the appropriate statistic to measure the chi-square results in a study/project?
  • How much does it cost to implement telemedicine? To determine this, you can use a previous study that reports the cost, or a website that describes the costs involved in adopting telemedicine, or even a manufacturer’s website that provides costs. Are there any cost savings when a setting adopts telemedicine? Who are patients, geographic areas who cannot use telemedicine?
  • Based on costs and limitations, what effect size do you think is necessary (give a specific number) to justify adopting telemedicine?

Nursing Pharmacology

The field of pharmacology has witnessed significant advancements  in the treatment of endocrine disorders. Among the newer medications,  Mounjaro and Ozempic have gained attention due to their efficacy in  managing conditions such as type 2 diabetes and obesity. Discuss about  similarities, differences, and clinical implications of these two new  drugs.
