Jamie is a 3-month-old female who presents with her mother for evaluation of “throwing up.” Mom reports that Jamie has been throwing up pretty much all the time since she was born. Jamie does not seem to be sick. In fact, she drinks her formula vigorously and often acts hungry. Jamie has normal soft brown bowel movements every day and, overall, seems like a happy and contented baby. She smiles readily and does not cry often. Other than the fact that she often throws up after drinking a bottle, she seems to be a very healthy, happy infant. A more precise history suggests that Jamie does not exactly throw up—she does not heave or act unwell—but rather it just seems that almost every time she drinks a bottle she regurgitates a milky substance. Mom thought that she might be allergic to her formula and switched her to a hypoallergenic formula. It didn’t appear to help at all, and now Mom is very concerned.

Cases like these are not uncommon. The mother was concerned and thinking her daughter may have an allergy; she changed to a different formula. However, sometimes babies have immature GI tracts that can lead to physiology reflux as they adapt to normal life outside the uterus. Parents often do not consider this possibility, prompting them to change formulas rather than seeking medical care. As in the case study above, GI alterations can often be difficult to identify because many cause similar symptoms. This same issue also arises with adults—adults may present with symptoms that have various potential causes. When evaluating patients, it is important for the advanced practice nurse to know the types of questions he or she needs to ask to obtain the appropriate information for diagnosis. For this reason, you must have an understanding of common GI disorders such as gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), peptic ulcer disease (PUD), and gastritis.

To Prepare

• Review this week’s media presentation on the gastrointestinal system.
• Review Chapter 35 in the Huether and McCance text. Identify the normal pathophysiology of gastric acid stimulation and production.
• Review Chapter 37 in the Huether and McCance text. Consider the pathophysiology of gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), peptic ulcer disease (PUD), and gastritis. Think about how these disorders are similar and different.
• Select a patient factor different from the one you selected in this week’s Discussion: genetics, gender, ethnicity, age, or behavior. Consider how the factor you selected might impact the pathophysiology of GERD, PUD, and gastritis. Reflect on how you would diagnose and prescribe treatment of these disorders for a patient based on this factor.
• Review the “Mind Maps—Dementia, Endocarditis, and Gastro-oesophageal Reflux Disease (GERD)” media in the Week 2 Learning Resources. Use the examples in the media as a guide to construct a mind map for gastritis. Consider the epidemiology and clinical presentation of gastritis.

To Complete

Write a 2- to 3-page paper that addresses the following:

• Describe the normal pathophysiology of gastric acid stimulation and production. Explain the changes that occur to gastric acid stimulation and production with GERD, PUD, and gastritis disorders.
• Explain how the factor you selected might impact the pathophysiology of GERD, PUD, and gastritis. Describe how you would diagnose and prescribe treatment of these disorders for a patient based on the factor you selected.
• Construct a mind map for gastritis. Include the epidemiology, pathophysiology, and clinical presentation, as well as the diagnosis and treatment you explained in your paper.

Evidence based practice plays a major role in nursing, EBN is any practice that relies on scientific evidence for guidance and decision making. Organizations with forthcoming leadership reinforce staff will boost the use of evidence based practice. Informal and formal leadership is necessary across all organizational levels and nursing roles when implementing evidence based practice (Huber, 2018). Nurse Managers can ease and support EBP work in ways like setting up unit expectations, discussing the importance of EBP, promote staff questioning, track progress and much more. Encouraging nurse to attend project work conferences will promote the use of evidence based practice. Economics do affect nursing practice

 We all agree that finding a large amount of research support Evidence based practice ameliorate quality and safety of health care which amplify health outcomes and decreased variation I care and reduces costs. A lot of money is spent on healthcare in the United States than any western country. Nurse’s work 12 hours shift, patient are awaken every 2-4 hours for vitals, patient with indwelling catheter ends up with infection. In the United States EBP has been the Triple Aim in healthcare. EBP has been found to license clinicians and result in higher job satisfaction. Although it has brought many positives outcomes it is not used throughout the United States or the rest of the world due to multiple barriers that have continued to persist over the past decades. Study shows there is a gap between the research evidence available and the implementation of it in clinical practice. The reason for that is because clinicians can overwhelmed with information or lack skills to assess information , sometimes it is reviewed but not apply to clinical decision-making (Stephen-Haynes,2014). Not having many research evidence available, nurses tend to make decisions based what was already available and not any updated information. While sometimes it provides positive outcomes, sometimes it ends on costing the facility when the effects are not so positive. Patients are concerned about achieving better outcomes while controlling the cost of medications and treatment. It can cause patient not to seek help until it’s too late. The more research we find the more we can implement into our practice and the more it can decreased cost for patients and also the hospitals.

In summary we talked how evidence-based practice (EBP) improves healthcare quality, patient outcomes, and cost reductions, and abundance barriers persist in healthcare settings that need to be rapidly overcome. We talk about how the cost of treatment affects nursing care and how clinicians sometimes may not review any new research due to being burn out.

How was the “Family Systems Theory and Obesity Treatment: Applications for Clinicians” theory used? How do the research findings either support or refute the use of the theory in practice?

In childhood obesity it is important to involve the family.  What other areas of practice would you especially want to involve caregivers or family members as a practicing NP?
