Instructions

You have been working on a group project with several other students. The project has generally been going well, but one person on the project has not been pulling his or her weight, relying on everyone else in the group to complete the project. The group has discussed this problem, and you have elected as the person to communicate with the student who has not been helping on the project.

Using Microsoft Word or a similar program, draft an email to your fellow student discussing the issue and what you think can or should be done to resolve it. You will want to communicate carefully, being clear on the problem as you see it without being aggressive or angry. Proper language and tone will be extremely important.

On the same document, in 2-3 paragraphs, discuss how you came to the solution for this issue. In this discussion, including what would constitute a good resolution for the problem in your opinion and what actions (or non-action) by the offending student would cause you to contact the instructor for additional help in resolving the problem.

 

As part of continuing your work on your EBP proposal, you create a demographics tool that you use to capture data on participants who will be part of your EBP project. Here is a Demographics Questionnaire (Word) example of a demographics tool section. Keep in mind that you should include only information that is important to include in data analysis and write-up. Asking extraneous questions is burdensome for participants; thus, your demographics questions need to be meaningful, relevant, and as brief as possible.

Assignment Instructions

Using a Word document, create a demographics tool that has a minimum of eight questions but a maximum of 20 questions.

Support your ideas with at least one (1) source using citations in your essay. Make sure to cite using the APA writing style for the essay. The cover page and reference page are required. Review the rubric criteria for this assignment.

Conduct a literature search to select a quantitative research study related to the problem identified in Module 1 and conduct an initial critical appraisal. Respond to the overview questions for the critical appraisal of quantitative studies, including:

• Is this quantitative research report a case study, case control study, cohort study, randomized control trial or systematic review?
• Where does the study fall in the hierarchy of evidence in terms of reliability and risk of bias?
• Why was the study done? (Define the problem and purpose.)
• Were the steps of the study clearly identified?
• What was the sample size?
• Are the measurements of major variables reliable and valid? Explain.
• How were the data analyzed?
• Were there any untoward events during the conduct of the study?
• How do the results fit with previous research in the area? (This may be reflected in the literature review.)
• What does this research mean to clinical practice?

Additionally, be sure to include the rapid appraisal questions for the specific research design of the quantitative study that you have chosen. These can be found in Chapter 5 of the textbook (Melnyk and Fineout-Overholt, 2015).

This critical appraisal should be written in complete sentences (not just a numbered list) using APA format.

Provide a reference for the article according to APA format and a copy of the article.

Make sure to include speaker notes at the bottom of your slide to explain the content of your slide.

Patients fall in a hospital facility is one of the metrics used for measuring the quality of nursing practice or health service. Patients’ fall leads to other complication that can land the healthcare facility into trouble and ultimately unplanned expenses. According to the healthcare laws, any injury that occurs to the patient during their stay in a healthcare facility as a result of carelessness of the healthcare facility or a healthcare officer resulting in an incurring expense then that particular healthcare facility will incur that particular expense.

I chose the patient falls for the clinical problem because of the increase in the rate of falls among the patients admitted to hospitals. The issue has resulted in further complication to patients which prolong their stay in hospital (Straus et al., 2018). Some of the causes of falls are linked to the faulty equipment in the hospital, and the most affected population are individuals aged sixty years and up who are not able to act with speed in case of the fall happening.

The PICOT questions can be used to find the pieces of evidence for the research. Here we can use it to find pieces of evidence for patients fall of a particular age, e.g. sixty in the health facility. After finding the pieces of evidence, we can then use the results to correct the issue not in only a particular health facility but also in other healthcare facilities. We can come up with PICOT questions that will lead to understanding the issue in-depth (Elias et al., 2015). The following is the PICOT question for this problem.

PICOT Question

In patients of 60 years and over who are victim’s healthcare falls, how do their fall incidences compared to those who do not get fall incidences influence their treatment and their overall health for the remaining time of their lives?

Patients who are victims of falls are likely to face the psychological effects of the incidences as they complicate their entire treatment, which reduces their chances of recovering from their illness. Most patients die as a result of complications arising from the fall incidence, which happens within the shortest time (Straus et al., 2018).

Integration of evidences

The pieces of evidence of these falls can be integrated into healthcare facilities to enhance the equipment and care of the patients who are advanced in terms of age. First, many causes of falls are linked to the faulty equipment used in the hospital facility (Stephenson et al.,2016). Consequently, healthcare organizations should ensure that their pieces of equipment are always in good condition. Also, the equipment should be regularly assessed to find outfalls and correct in advance. 

The second reason for fall happens as healthcare negligence. This cause is linked to the nurses who do not take their work seriously or who are overworked in healthcare settings. For this reason, healthcare should monitor their nurses to ensure that they are always keen and ready to prevent the fall incidences that are likely to happen to patients as are the result of health conditions making their body system vulnerable to fall (Stephenson et al.,2016).

Evaluation

The healthcare should always keep records of rates of falls in the hospital to find out the changes that might have been impacted by the incorporation of the methods discussed. Each method should be evaluated for a given period and assed to find out if there are changes and to identify areas of improvement that might be required.

Conclusion

Falls in the healthcare system as fatal, especially when the patients involved are suffering from a serious health condition or if they are of advanced ages. The formulation of the PICOT question helped for finding the real issue and suggesting the needed correction in advance. The question leads to discovering that fall cases are caused by faulty health equipment and healthcare personnel negligence.
