Commend on this 

     Good article. Okay, sounds like your assessment on quasi-experimental is logical. There were different comparison groups without  random assignment. The intervention was the use of numbers to document pain ratings. Was this the numerical pain scale? I would assume so. The tool is the intervention and the data collection were the EBP pain rating tools. So there was a patient side and a provider side to this study in terms of assessment it sounds like. The second part, the provider part, sounds like qualitative in terms of collecting data on experiences of providers managing palliative pain. No random assignment either, since 2 teams were used. So they were designated groups. Yes, then this is also non-probability sampling because the researcher wants to only look at a certain population. They consisted of 9 teams from a population of 125 employees, have I got this right? 

     Again, non-probability is easier to use since you have the set population at hand, but there can be bias too as well as questionable population representation. 

Great discussion,

Caring for Patients Utilizing Complementary and Alternative Therapies

/in /by

 

Complementary and alternative therapies are often used in combination with traditional medical practices to provide enhanced treatment. This is known as Integrative Medicine. Other times these therapies are used alone in place of traditional medicine. Choose a complementary or alternative therapy that interests you and research how it is used alone or in combination with traditional medicine.

Write a 1-2 page paper (not including title page and reference page) that describes following: Describe the complementary/alternative therapy and how it is used in practice.
Discuss your personal and professional opinion about this therapy and how it will influence your care for a client using this therapy.

You should include a minimum of 3 references. Include a title page, in-text citations, and a reference page in APA format.

QUESTION

Why is understanding the health care system at the local level   important to consider when planning an EBP implementation? Conduct   research and solicit anecdotal evidence from your course mentor that   you will take into consideration for your own change project

ANSWER

When making an evidence-based practice change, it is important to consider what is offered locally before implementing changes. Understanding your resources and what is available within the local community will allow the researcher to know where the change needs to be made and in what way a change could make things better. Knowing your community and what its needs are, should be the first step to making a change. While some communities may want to focus on diabetes because that has the highest prevalence in their area, others may want to focus on heart disease. What area of change would make the most impact and what services are already being offered within the community (Ockene et al., 2019)? These are important questions to ask prior to planning an EBP implementation.

After talking with my mentor, she brought up a few good points regarding my research on lead education. She mentioned that timing was important and that now is the time for promoting lead education and prevention within our county. She had mentioned many stakeholders are recognizing the importance focusing on lead right now and that there is a big push within our local community to begin with lead awareness. She also said there are many community leaders who are looking at lead and willing to fund projects involving this topic (V. Mouser, personal communication, August 20, 2019).

Exercise Programming for individual activity prescription

/in /by

Instructions      You are the Director of Coordinated School Health for a large school district. Michelle is a teacher who  is anxious to develop a healthy lifestyle by starting an activity program. She has completed her health assessment and has received clearance from her physician to begin an activity program. She has come to you to get recommendations on how to proceed. Results from her fitness assessment and physical are below.    You will develop an Individual Activity Plan that includes a Summary of her Health History and Identification of health risks based on outcomes of each of the assessments. You will calculate, present and explain BMI, Waist-to-Hip ratio, Heart Rate Training Zone and Ideal Body Weight –be sure to show the calculation for each. You will then develop an activity plan (using the FITT principle) that encourages both Cardiorespiratory and Muscular Strength/Endurance. Finally, you will identify possible barriers and supports for the activity plan and identify strategies that will help lead to success.
