    NSG6999 Graduate Project in Nursing Week 5 Discussion

    We will be reviewing a “keeper study” this week—evaluate an article by working through the following 7 question

    Again, keeper studies can be identified using handy Rapid Critical Appraisal checklists consisting of a set of simple but important questions. Below are sample questions developed for use with quantitative studies that are applicable to most appraisal situations (it’s important to note that qualitative evidence, if it’s relevant to the clinical question, should not be dismissed): NSG6999 Graduate Project in Nursing.

    Why was the study done?
     Make sure the study is directly relevant to the clinical question.

    What is the sample size?
     Size can and should vary according to the nature of the study. Since determining a valid minimum sample size in a single study can be difficult, taking into account multiple studies is beneficial.The answer to this question alone should not remove a study from the appraisal process.

    Are instruments of the variables in the study clearly defined and reliable?
     Make sure the variables were consistently applied throughout the study and that they measured what the researchers said they were going to measure. NSG6999 Graduate Project in Nursing.

    How was the data analyzed?
    Make sure that any statistics are relevant to the clinical question.

    Were there any unusual events during the study?
     If the sample size changed, for example, determine whether that has ramifications if you wish to replicate the study.

    How do the results fit in with previous research in this area?
     Make sure the study builds on other studies of a similar nature.

    What are the implications of the research for clinical practice? 
    Ask whether the study addresses a relevant and important clinical issue.

    Indication

    First in class, or not first in class

    Common side effects profile

    Known contradictions

    Make sure you explain the special considerations that your chosen drug has on the unique populations/client groups listed below. Special considerations should include absorption, clearance/elimination, distribution, metabolism half-life, loading dose, route of drug administration, and steady state. Byvalson Medication Paper.

    Pediatric Patients

    Pediatric patients are not little adults. There are special pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamics variations in this patient group. Their reaction to medication can be very unpredictable. Accurate dosing is the key due to their limited body mass.

    Geriatric Patients

    Geriatric patients have altered pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamics responses to medication. The process of aging and disease will change how the body responds to drug therapy. Memory limitations and increased sensitivity to drug therapy may cause unique problems with this population. Byvalson Medication Paper.

    Patients With Renal Dysfunction

    Many medications are excreted through the renal glands or metabolized and excreted renally. Dosage adjustment is the key in this population. Many agents may cause nephrotoxicity.

    Patients With Liver Dysfunction

    Liver disease produces alterations in the physiology of the drugs’ pharmacokinetics in the body. Special attention should be given to all drugs used in this client population. Byvalson Medication Paper.

    Obese Patients

    Obese patients have alterations in their pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic response to medication. Many comorbidities and altered nutritional status can be seen as responses to taking these medications. Accurate dosing is paramount.

    Pregnancy/Lactation

    Pregnancy and lactation can be challenging. Concerns of effects to the unborn fetus must be considered. Will treating the mother harm the unborn fetus or nursing infant? Byvalson Medication Paper

  • Musculoskeletal Case study

    Musculoskeletal

    Case study

    Part 1: Presentation

    Patient admission

    A 22-year-old female was admitted to the emergency

    department after being involved in a motorcycle

    accident. On presentation she was unable to weight

    bear and there was slight knee effusion without

    ecchymosis or deformity. On physical examination,

    she was keeping her knee in slight flexion and knee

    range of motion was painful and grossly restricted.

    Further detailed physical examination could not be

    performed due to intentional guarding, pain and

    muscle spasm. X-rays and computed tomography

    (CT) scans were performed.

    Note: At this time you only have access to the X-rays.

    Patient presentation (Task 1)

    The elbow dislocation and the hand fractures are

    obvious to observe, however you are not sure about

    the knee. You ask the attending physician to help

    clarify it for you.

    The elbow dislocation and the hand fractures are

    (Click here for the interactive version of the markedup

    x-rays that the physician made for you. Once you

    have done that return to this page)

    You return to the physician a couple of minutes later,

    after having studied the X-ray over a cup of coffee.

    You are ready you say, and you feel confident identify

    the landmarks. Give you a big smile the physician

    wipes the pen marks off and asks you a question.

    (This has been recorded and saved below for as long as the internet

    survives).

    Physician: So you are feeling confident are you. Let’s test you out then.

    Can you point to the lateral

    condyle, the medial condyle, and the intercondyle

    eminance?

    (Click here for an interactive version of the X-ray so

    you can point out the correct features for the

    physician. Once you have done that return to this

    page)

    Patient presentation (Task 2)

    The physician seeing that you have correctly identify

    the appropriate landmarks on the normal knee bones

    holds up the two X-rays and gets you to compare

    them (below).

    Fig. 1. Knee radiographs of the patient before and

    after the accident. Left image is an X-ray from a

    previous admission (courtesy of Mr Andrew Murphy,

    Radiopaedia.org), where no issues were observed.

    Right image is an X-ray of the knee at the time of

    admission following the accident (courtesy of Gerry

    Gardney, Radiopaedia.org)

    As part of your “training” with the physician you are

    asked to answer the following three questions.

    Which bone of the knee do you think was fractured

    in the motorcycle accident?

    How would you describe the location of the fracture

    (Hint: Use directional terms)

    Do you think there might be other structures within

    the knee joint that could have been affected by the

    accident and if so, why?

    Part 2: Family arrives

    Questions from the family

    The immediate family of the patient have arrived and

    the consulting surgeon has explained the injury to

    them, however he was brief and used a lot of medical

    terminology. (It has been recorded below for clarity)

    Surgeon: Your daughter has suffered a lateral

    tibial plateau fracture. This will require surgery

    and most likely some screws. She has also

    sustained an elbow joint dislocation, and

    multiple fractures to her phalanges.

    The patient and the family all node and say “right, ok,

    cool”. And before the surgeon can explain what it all

    means he is called away to consult on a critical patient

    who just arrived by helicopter. As he leaves the

    patients keeps repeating the word cool. (e.g “Cool cool

    cool cool cool cooooool.”)

    Once the surgeon has left the patients mother turns to

    you and states:

    Mother: I have no idea what that doctor said. I

    don’t know what a lateral blah blah blah is. Can

    you please explain what has happened to my

    daughter’s leg?

    Practical Assessment Task –

    Part 1

    Write a script for how you would explain the injury to the patient and

    the mother.

    Remember to use terms that they would understand, but also make sure

    you explain

    the medical terms the doctor used.

    Rehabilitation

    Following surgery the patient has

    been transferred to the ward where

    she will continue to receive treatment

    relating to her motorcycle accident.

    Due to the significant damage that

    was sustained by her left knee she

    has been informed that it will take

    time to recover the majority of her

    range of movement, and that it may

    not fully return.

    She is also told that while her knee is

    recovering, she will not be able to

    move her leg or foot much, and that

    when she starts physiotherapy she

    may experience tightness and a

    severe limit to her range of motion.

    Time passes

    The patient is to be released from

    hospital today and will be going

    home to continue her rehabilitation.

    You help her pack her things ready to

    leave, then are called away by the

    nurse unit manager.

    You are brought into a meeting and

    notice one very important person

    whom you have only met on a

    handful of occasions (usually staff

    end of year celebrations), the chief

    nursing officer. They indicate for you

    to take a seat and then introduce you

    to two other people behind the table.

    The chief medical officer and the

    executive director operations.

    They inform you that they would like

    you to become part of a new team of

    health staff that will assist with

    intensive home-care for

    physiotherapy patients. More is

    discussed during the meeting, but as

    you leave they make sure to impress

    the importance of what you need to

    do next.

    Chief nursing officer:

    Remember, before you start

    with the first patient next week

    you need to make sure you

    understand their situation. This

    will require you to familiarise

    yourself with the case. The chief

    physiotherapist has asked that

    you present to him a short

    summary of the muscles you

    believe would be affected and

    the reasoning for your decisions

    before the end of this week .

    You nod, and thank them for

    choosing you.

    Chief nursing office: Also

    remember that this is a new

    appointment and the first time

    this type of team has been put

    together and we want it to

    work. You have been identified

    by your nursing unit manager

    as the prime candidate for this

    position, don’t let them down.

    Have a good weekend.

    Practical Assessment Task –

    Part 2

    Based on the case you will need to create a document that

    outlines the muscles you believe would be affected directly

    by the damage to the knee and also provide your reasoning

    as to why they are affected. (You may use diagrams or

    drawings to help you explain your reasoning).

    Hint: Looking at the muscles that attach to the

    affected area would be a good place to start.

    Part 4 – Rehabilitation

    The patient has been undertaking physical therapy for a

    period of time, however her progression has plateaued. The

    physical therapist reports to the health team that the patient

    is able to walk, but requires a cane in order to walk any

    significant distance. In fact, one of the tests used to assess

    the patient’s walking ability was the 6-minute walk test. The

    results from the test showed the patient was only able to

    walk 45m.

    Further tests are discussed at the meeting and the therapist

    concludes her report:

    Physical Therapist: The patient experiences

    dorsiflexion weakness in her left foot, a result of atrophy

    of the tibialis anterior muscles that occurred during the

    post-operative period. I suggest that we trial the use of

    functional electrical stimulation to strengthen the muscle.

    This should aid in helping the patient move past the

    progression plateau.

    The team agrees that this is a good direction for the patient’s

    rehabilitation. At the meeting it is also determined that at

    her next visit the PT will discuss the option with the patient.

    It is also decided that you will have training relating to

    transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation, and the

    functional electrical stimulation protocol.

    You spend a day with other nurses learning about the basics

    of the TENS units, and experimenting with different

    settings. You particularly find it fascinating that you were

    able to induce a tetanic contraction in your lab partner’s

    hand by increasing the frequency of stimulation

    continuously higher.

    Part 5 – Questions from

    the patient

    The patient has been undergoing the

    FES trial for a couple of weeks now

    and is able to now apply the

    electrodes herself, and also program

    the unit to deliver the appropriate

    treatment protocol. While you are

    visiting she asks you a couple of

    questions.

    Patient: Ummm… I feel silly

    asking this but I just want to

    double check that I understand

    what this machine is doing and

    how it is supposed to be helping

    me.

    You look at the patient and smile.

    You: Don’t feel silly. Please ask

    any questions you have.

    Patient: Well if I understand

    correctly the electrodes

    stimulate electrical sensors in

    my muscle, where I place the

    electrodes… the tibia muscle…

    or something. But, the

    electricity is detected by sensors

    in my muscle and then my

    muscle sends a signal to my

    brain that tells my brain to send

    a signal back down to my

    muscle telling it to contract. Is

    that right?

    But before you can answer the

    patient continues.

    Patient: Then because my

    muscle contracts it means that it

    learns how to contract again,

    you know, because it didn’t

    know how to contract before. So

    it learns and once it has learnt

    how to contract again, then I

    will be able to walk properly

    because at the moment every

    time I try to walk my foot just

    droops.

    She takes a deep breath and

    continues quickly on.

    Patient: So what I’m saying is

    the machine electrocutes my leg,

    which causes my brain to tell

    my muscle how to contract and

    then it will get better walking

    and I’ll be able to walk.

    It is your turn to speak.

    Your task is to write a script explaining to the patient what is

    actually happening between the machine and her muscles.

    You should also make sure to kindly explain where she is

    incorrect about how the machine works. You should also

    explain which muscle is affected, and why it is important in

    walking. (Hint: remember what the PT said in her report

    about the patient. It would also be good to explain what

    dorsiflexion weakness is and why it is a problem for

    walking). Musculoskeletal Case study

You would like to develop a proposal for establishing a process that would allow nurses and other health care professionals to secure time off to work with a specific worldwide organization, to provide health care services during global events. As part of the proposal, you would need to provide background research to support your request.

    Conduct background research on either one of the following to support the proposal you would develop:

    Choose one worldwide epidemic, such as the 2009 flu pandemic, 2009 mumps outbreak, 2012 Middle East respiratory syndrome coronavirus outbreak, the recent Ebola virus epidemic, or another epidemic. Research articles that focus on how the initial outbreak was handled; the role of social attitudes and issues of race, class, and gender in responding to the outbreak; barriers to people receiving proper health care; and the role of nursing in providing health care services related to the epidemic.

    Choose one natural disaster, such as the earthquakes in Haiti, Pakistan, or Nepal; Cyclone Nargis in Myanmar; the Indian Ocean earthquake and tsunami, or any other natural disaster that brought a worldwide response. Research articles that focus on the initial response to the disaster; the role of social attitudes and issues of race, class, and gender in responding to the disaster; barriers to survivors receiving health care; and the role of nursing in providing health care services related to the disaster. Health care services related to global healthcare events essay assessment report.

    Explain how social attitudes, as well as issues of race, class, gender, or other factors may have influenced the response to the event. Be sure you consider not only the response of the home country, but the global response as well. Health care services related to global healthcare events essay assessment report.

    Describe barriers to health care services for the people impacted by the event. Some barriers may be obvious, and other barriers less obvious; try to consider multiple aspects.

    Explain the role of international health organizations and altruistic organizations in providing health care services related to the global event.
