EBP Project: Will Every Two Hour Turning and Positioning Decrease Pressure Ulcers in the Eldery Bed Bound Population in Nursing Homes?
Practicum: Clinical rotations with preceptor; serving patients with acute, chronic and new medical issues.
One of the things I have discovered during my recent experiences with both academic and clinical education and an EBP project is that there are numerous and effective ways of learning, presenting, and communicating. Each method, however, has one critical thing in common -- it must be a two-way path and none are effective unless there is clear communicative understanding on the part of the receipient, patient, family or colleague. Aristotle, for instance, once commented that "For the things we have to learn before we can do them, we learn by doing them." Experiential learning targets certain brain chemicals and allows a more personal approach to the individual's own particular brain chemistry. Because the individual is participating in the experience, more initiative and evaluative cognition responses are necessary (Beard, et.al., 2006). Reflective learning, too, is conceptual in nature. The gist of this theme is both for the student and instructor to reflect upon their own approaches to learning and then, in turn, using what works best in a given situation. For the learning process, reflection not only improves learning from experience throughout one's life, but is a way to promote more autonomy, outside-the-box thinking, and stimulation -- all with the encouragement of a clear analysis of feelings, emotions, thoughts, experiences, and conclusions...
Nursing and Scholarship Will Two-Hour Turning and Positioning Decrease Pressure Ulcers in the Elderly Population in Nursing Homes? In order for a modern nurse to be both clinically and practically qualified to give exemplary patient care, they must be able to assimilate knowledge quickly and preserve the tenets of nursing while still excelling at the science of the field. . Within the subject of nursing, there are often times in which different
Practice Issue Evidence-Based Practice (EBP) Project in courses DNP program, asked The practice issue I have chosen to explore is whether or not q2 hourly turning and positioning actually decreases the incidence of pressure ulcers in the elderly bed bound population in nursing homes. The conception that turning does help to relieve the pressure associated with these types of ulcers has been longstanding. Specifically, there is clinical evidence to indicate
Preventing Pressure Ulcers in Postoperative Patients this is a nursing research evidence-based practice project paper. THIS IS A NURSING PROJECT. SINGLE SPACE. 6 PAGES FOR THE PROJECT, 2 PAGES FOR THE LISTED INFO Directions: 1. You developed EVIDENCE-BASED NURSING PRACICE PROJECT (EBP). What are the best practices to prevent pressure ulcers in postoperative patients? This project aims at implementing evidence-based prevention strategies for pressure ulcers in postoperative patients. There are many risk factors associated
Mobility Evidence-based Practice Progressive Mobility Protocol This paper is a project based on PICO. The clinical question that serves as the foundation for this data-based design is; for immobile critical care patients, does the use of a nurse driven progressive mobility protocol reduce ICU LOS compared to every hour of repositioning? In this paper, the adult patients admitted to an ICU represent the population (P) of interest. The nurse driven progressive mobility
Obesity, Prevention and Control in Teens Obesity refers to accumulation of harmful body fat levels, with excessive loose connective adipose tissues relative to lean body mass (Donatelle, 2002). One of the causes of obesity is high calorie consumption and the individual's inability to burn up the consumed calories. Obesity is said to be the outcome of imbalance of food consumed with energy expended (Venes, 2005). However, there are also considerable studies
