Identify a quality improvement opportunity in your organization or practice. In a 1,250-1,500 word paper, describe the problem or issue and propose a quality improvement initiative based on evidence-based practice.

Include the following:

1. Provide an overview of the problem and the setting in which the problem or issue occurs.
2. Explain why a quality improvement initiative is needed in this area and the expected outcome.
3. Discuss how the results of previous research demonstrate support for the quality improvement initiative and its projected outcomes. Include a minimum of three peer-reviewed sources published within the last 5 years, not included in the course materials or textbook, that establish evidence in support of the quality improvement proposed.
4. Discuss steps necessary to implement the quality improvement initiative. Provide evidence and rationale to support your answer.
5. Explain how the quality improvement initiative will be evaluated to determine whether there was improvement.
6. Support your explanation by identifying the variables, hypothesis test, and statistical test that you would need to prove that the quality improvement initiative succeeded.

A young woman is concerned about a 1-cm difference in the length of her legs. What is the best response to give this patient?

Which test is used to detect a torn medial or lateral meniscus?

A 12-year-old boy has injured his right leg in an automobile accident. If the epiphysis is damaged, what can eventually occur?

JB is a 43-year-old patient who presents to the office with complaints of back pain. She states that the pain started a few months ago as a dull ache, and now she feels that it has progressed to her hands, feet, and hips. The patient is obese and has a family history of joint pain. You have diagnosed her with osteoarthritis.

1- Describe the etiology of osteoarthritis.

2- Differentiate between signs and symptoms of osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis.

3- Because JB is having pain in her back, describe an indicator of a weakened muscle group.

Case study # 3

20-year-old athlete who developed a life-threatening reaction to anesthesia during a simple elective surgical procedure. His response was unexpected, but not unusual for individuals who possess an inherited skeletal muscle disorder leading to a condition called malignant hyperthermia because the symptoms only appear in the presence of certain anesthetics.

Objectives:

Understand the sequence of events that leads to skeletal muscle contraction and relaxation.
