Problem/PICOT/Evidence Search (PPE) Worksheet (Based on Wk. 2 Check-In PICOT)
Criteria The quality priority area identified is discharge instruction or teaching (educational intervention) for newly diagnosed middle-aged adults with hypertension.

This issue is most important because it determines medication compliance as well as compliance with lifestyle measures such as exercise and diet (Kaplan, 2016; MacDonald & Pescatello, 2018). NR439 Guide for Writing PICOT Questions and Examples Essay

The rationale for choosing this problem is that hypertension in the middle-aged is an epidemic that is responsible for adverse health outcomes such as heart cardiovascular disease.

PICOT Question

 

Using the NR439 Guide for Writing PICOT Questions and Examples located in the assignment guidelines, write out your PICOT question. Include the PICOT letters in your question. Use the instructor feedback from the Week 2 Check-In to develop your question.

In middle aged adults with a new diagnosis of hypertension (P), does thorough discharge teaching (I) compared to common practice (C) decrease the rate of readmission (O) within 30 days (T)?

 

 

Define PICOT Elements

 

Define each of the PICOT elements from your question above.

Use the instructor feedback from the Week 2 Check-In. NR439 Guide for Writing PICOT Questions and Examples Essay

P– (Patient population/patients of interest):  Middle-aged adults newly diagnosed with hypertension.

 

I– (Intervention): Thorough discharge teaching (educational intervention).

 

C– (Comparison): Common or usual practice of discharging patients with hasty instructions.

 

O– (Measurable outcome): Rate of readmission.

 

T– (Time frame in months): Thirty (30) days.

Evidence Retrieval Process and Summary

 

Using only the Chamberlain University Library:

(1) Locate evidence that is relevant to your chosen nursing practice problem.  Explain how you believe the evidence is relevant to your chosen nursing practice problem.

(2) Explain why you chose the evidence

(3) Provides a complete APA reference to the evidence (must include authors, year, title of the evidence, title of the resource)

(4) Evidence must be published within the last 10 years

(5) Provides the permalink

 

The evidence below has been chosen because it is relevant to the PICOT question. It has been chosen because it addresses the PICOT elements.

Implications of the Evidence

Summarize what you learned from the evidence. Summarize why you believe the nursing evidence-based practice committee should focus their next research project on the nursing practice problem.

The evidence from literature indicates that comprehensive patient teaching with clear discharge instructions and the importance of medications and other interventions to newly diagnosed hypertension patients is effective. It is effective in reducing readmission rates due to exacerbation of the hypertension. Reasons for this exacerbation include noncompliance to medications, diet, and exercise prescriptions.

The EBP committee should focus on this practice problem because the initiative will improve the quality of care.
