HOW TO WORK ON THIS ASSIGNMENT (EXAMPLE ESSAY / DRAFT)
Introduction: The purpose of this assignment is to prepare nursing students to disseminate evidence and advocate for practice change in relation to an area of interest to NP practice. The assignment aims to integrate evidence-based practice and research to advance holistic nursing care in diverse healthcare settings. Through this assignment, students will meet the following Course Outcomes: CO1, CO2, CO3, CO4, and CO5.
Nursing Practice Issue/Problem: The selected nursing practice issue/problem is hypertension management among older adults. This issue is important to nurse practitioner practice as hypertension is a prevalent chronic condition that affects older adults and is associated with adverse health outcomes, such as cardiovascular disease, stroke, and kidney disease. Evidence-based interventions, such as lifestyle modifications, can effectively manage hypertension and improve health outcomes.
PICOT Question: P: Older adults with hypertension I: Lifestyle modifications (diet and exercise) C: No intervention or usual care O: Decreased blood pressure within six months T: Six to twelve months
Literature Review: The literature review identified the importance of lifestyle modifications, such as the Dietary Approaches to Stop Hypertension (DASH) diet and physical activity, in managing hypertension among older adults. The review also highlighted the challenges in implementing lifestyle modifications in older adults, such as physical limitations and lack of social support.
Recommendations: Based on the literature review, an evidence-based recommendation for the identified practice change is to implement a DASH diet and physical activity intervention for older adults with hypertension. The key stakeholders impacted by the recommended change are older adults, their families, and healthcare providers. The recommendation is fit, feasible, and appropriate as it is supported by the literature and addresses the challenges in implementing lifestyle modifications in older adults.
Conclusion: The presentation has discussed the importance of hypertension management among older adults and the effectiveness of lifestyle modifications in improving health outcomes. An evidence-based recommendation for implementing lifestyle modifications has been provided along with its fit, feasibility, and appropriateness. The conclusion reiterates the importance of evidence-based practice and research in advancing holistic nursing care.
