Refining the Theoretical Foundation for Research

1-Your concept is motivation and you were looking at the Expectancy Theory of Motivation by Victor Vroom.

2-Are you using his definition of motivation for your definition in this concept analysis paper?

3-His theory is about decision-making.  Whose decision-making are you interested in exploring in your future research? 

4-His theory is also targeting goals.  Whose goals are you interested in studying?

5-I want to make sure that the theory you may apply aligns with your POI.

scholarly writing

 Using proper APA formatting, cite the peer-reviewed article you selected that pertains to your practice area and is of particular interest to you and identify the database that you used to search for the article. Explain any difficulties you experienced while searching for this article. Would this database be useful to your colleagues? Explain why or why not. Would you recommend this database? Explain why or why not 

Support main post with 3 of more current, credible sources and cite source within content of posting and on a reference list in proper APA.

Where can you find evidence to inform your thoughts and scholarly writing? Throughout your degree program, you will use research literature to explore ideas, guide your thinking, and gain new insights. As you search the research literature, it is important to use resources that are peer-reviewed and from scholarly journals. You may already have some favorite online resources and databases that you use or have found useful in the past. For this Discussion, you explore databases available through the Walden Library.To Prepare:

  • Review the information presented in the Resources for using the Walden Library, searching the databases, and evaluating online resources.
  • Begin searching for a peer-reviewed article that pertains to your practice area and is of particular interest to you.

Module 1: Discussion Question N494

  

Go to the NINR website: https://www.ninr.nih.gov and identify the four current priorities for nursing research under NURSING RESEARCH DEVELOPS KNOWLEDGE TO…. Do you agree with the priorities or would you recommend addition or elimination of some of the priorities? Describe how these research initiatives can be translated into evidence-based practice in your work environment.

Your initial posting should be at least 400 words in length and utilize at least one scholarly source other than the textbook

6/3-2

While the implementation plan prepares students to apply their research to the problem or issue they have identified for their capstone project change proposal, 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 Question 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

Assessment:

ICD 10: N80.9; Endometriosis based in the patient’s symptoms. I order some tests to rule

out other conditions. Chronic inflammatory condition defined by endometrial stroma and glands

found outside of the uterine cavity. The most common sites affected are the pelvic peritoneum

and ovaries. May present incidentally in asymptomatic patients, or more commonly in women of

reproductive age who complain of chronic pelvic pain and/or subfertility. Clinical suspicion is

generally sufficient to initiate therapy, but the diagnosis can only be confirmed by direct

visualization and focused biopsies during laparoscopy.

ICD 10: Z12.4; Encounter for screening for malignant neoplasm of cervix.

Differential diagnosis:

ICD 10: N80.0; Adenomyosis; Symptoms may be identical to those of endometriosis.

Preoperative MRI findings may show diffuse or focal widening of the junctional zone (inner

myometrium), islands of endometrial tissue or cystic dilation of glands or hemorrhage, linear

striations radiating out from the endometrium into the myometrium, mass within the

myometrium (adenomyoma). Laparoscopy may reveal a normal pelvis or concurrent

endometriosis. Histopathologic evaluation of the uterus after hysterectomy shows endometrial

glands/stroma in the myometrium.

ICD 10: N30.10; Interstitial cystitis; Symptoms primarily localized to the bladder, such as

urinary frequency and urgency. Patients complain of pain with a full bladder that is relieved upon

voiding. Diffuse chronic pain and dyspareunia are common and often indistinguishable from

endometriosis.

ICD 10: Ovarian cyst (benign); May be asymptomatic with an incidental pelvic mass or

present with acute rather than chronic pain, such as in the case of hemorrhagic cysts.

Plan

Laboratory Exam:

Ultrasound. To identify cysts associated with endometriosis (endometriomas).

Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). To obtain a detailed information about the location

and size of endometrial implants.

Pharmacological treatment:

Ibuprofen (500 mg) 1 tablet 4 times a day if you feel pain

Elagolix (Orilissa) – 1 tablet taken twice daily

Non-Pharmacologic treatment:

If the pain persists you can try measures at home to relieve the discomfort taking warm

baths and a heating pad, helping relax pelvic muscles and reducing cramping and pain.

Follow-ups/Referrals

Follow up: in 2 weeks to evaluate current treatment.

Referrals No needed at this time.

Ques

On arrival to the emergency department, an EKG revealed new onset atrial fibrillation and right ventricular strain pattern – T wave inversions in the right precordial leads (V1-4) ± the inferior leads (II, III, aVF)
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.
