Chronic disease is any condition that lasts a year or more and it requires ongoing medical care or it limits the patient’s ADLs or both. Some of the chronic diseases that are the leading cause of death in the United States are cancer, heart disease, and cancer.

I live in Savannah, Ga. In my community, the two most prevalent chronic disease is diabetes and COPD. 23.7% of residents are diagnosed with diabetes. According to the CDC, more than 34 million people have diabetes in the US. There are people who don’t even know that they have. Having diabetes can increase a person’s risk of having a stroke or heart disease or other serious complications. The second chronic disease is COPD. 11 percent of savannah residents have COPD. Almost 15.7% of Americans have been diagnosed with COPD. COPD is the third leading cause of death for women.

 Michigan’s communities differ widely. There is a large portion of Michigan that is well-educated, generally healthy, and economically doing well. However, there are areas that live in poverty, In this research i have found areas with high racial segregation within the state where morbidity and mortality are substantially higher than the state average. For example, an analysis of 2010 Census data found that the Flint metropolitan area has a black-white dissimilarity index of 67, making it the 14th most segregated city in the nation. Within the state of Michigan (MI), Genesee County (the county that contains Flint) is ranked 81st of 82 counties for health outcomes in the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation County Rankings, and ranked 76th of 82 for health factors. Chronic lung disease and heart disease are the two biggest issues in my population at tis time.

Evaluation of my education change project involves questionnaires before and after administration of the education pamphlet to those in the community that are currently needing education on postpartum frequently asked questions. The independent variable that need to be collected within this evaluation includes utilization of education pamphlet and administration of the education instructions. The education will be supplemental and a method that can enhance prior knowledge and reinforce answers to question that can be had during the postpartum period. The dependent variable that will be collected is retention and understanding of knowledge which can be difficult to collect. However, parents verbalizing understanding and decrease number of calls to the clinic will be the method of evaluation of the independent variable. These variables are collected to determine how the education pamphlet influences the community and what retention and knowledge comes from this education. Evaluation of this is important to see if the project has been effective for the community and clinic.

In this assignment, you will write a paper that analyzes a scenario and explains the purpose of hypotheses and research questions.

Step 1: Read the following scenario.

You are a nurse on 5 West who has concerns about visiting hours in the Critical Care Unit. The unit currently has a visiting-hours policy that allows patients to rest and the staff to provide care in an environment that protects patient privacy and modesty. However, many nurses now feel that family presence improves patient outcomes. You and other nurses on your unit have noted that vital signs are improved and patients are more responsive when family is present. You are considering whether to use a quantitative or qualitative study to research this topic.

Step 2: Consider the following questions:

• What is the purpose of hypotheses and research questions?
• Why is it important to develop workable hypotheses and research questions in conducting research?
• What type of research—qualitative or quantitative—would be most conducive to the scenario in Step 1? Why?
• Which would be more appropriate given the scenario in Step 1: the development of a hypothesis or a research question or both? Why?

Step 3: Write a two-four page paper.

Write a paper that describes the purpose of hypotheses and research questions. Articulate the importance of developing workable hypotheses and research questions in conducting research. Based on the provided scenario, describe whether a qualitative or quantitative research study would be most appropriate and why. Explain whether, and why, you would develop a hypothesis or a central research question for this scenario.

Construct your paper and cite any sources in APA format.

Case study:

45-year-old woman presents with chief complaint of 3-day duration of shortness of breath, cough with thick green sputum production, and fevers. Patient has history of COPD with chronic cough but states the cough has gotten much worse and is interfering with her sleep. Sputum is thicker and harder for her to expectorate. CXR reveals flattened diaphragm and increased AP diameter. Auscultation demonstrates hyper resonance and coarse rales and rhonchi throughout all lung fields.

An understanding of the cardiovascular and respiratory systems is a critically important component of disease diagnosis and treatment. This importance is magnified by the fact that these two systems work so closely together. A variety of factors and circumstances that impact the emergence and severity of issues in one system can have a role in the performance of the other.

Effective disease analysis often requires an understanding that goes beyond these systems and their capacity to work together. The impact of patient characteristics, as well as racial and ethnic variables, can also have an important impact.

An understanding of the symptoms of alterations in cardiovascular and respiratory systems is a critical step in diagnosis and treatment of many diseases. For APRNs this understanding can also help educate patients and guide them through their treatment plans.

In this Assignment, you examine a case study and analyze the symptoms presented. You identify the elements that may be factors in the diagnosis, and you explain the implications to patient health.

Assignment (1- to 2-page case study analysis)

In your Case Study Analysis related to the scenario provided, explain the following

• The cardiovascular and cardiopulmonary pathophysiologic processes that result in the patient presenting these symptoms.
• Any racial/ethnic variables that may impact physiological functioning.
• How these processes interact to affect the patient.

MY CAPSTONE TOPIC IS : (Fall prevention strategies in hospitals.)

 Sustaining change can be difficult, as there are many variables that can affect implementation. One critical component of EBP is to ensure that practice change is part of an organization’s culture so it will continue to impact outcomes over time. Name two potential barriers that may prevent your EBP change proposal from continuing to obtain the same desired results 6 months to a year from now, and your strategies for overcoming these barriers.
