Evidence Based Practice Assignment Part II: Article Analysis & Implications for Nursing Practice Analyzing the Evidence The article “Effectiveness and Cost-Effectiveness of an Empowerment-Based Self-care Education Program on Health Outcomes Among Patients with Heart Failure: A Randomized Clinical Trial” by Chinese researchers (Yu et al., 2022), discusses the results of a double-blind randomized clinical trial testing the implementation of a heart failure (HF) education …show more content…
It can be debilitating, painful, and disheartening for those who experience it. This demands significant nursing attention, particularly in patient education. Nurses should be competent in the pathology and progression of HF, as well as demonstrate the ability to educate the patient on this knowledge using effective and therapeutic communication techniques. The nurse should share prioritization with the patient’s priorities and questions, while also ensuring that complete education is provided. Patient education should prioritize common symptoms like fatigue and a mild cough while emphasizing red flag symptoms requiring emergency help: sudden shortness of breath or pink frothy sputum, chest pain, rapid irregular heartbeat, and fainting or severe weakness (Mayo Clinic Staff, 2023). Monitoring and tracking these symptoms is crucial for self-management. HF can be overwhelming, especially if there are unanswered questions and a lack of understanding; nurses can provide empowerment through education. A key aspect of patient education is educating on self-management. Self-management includes diet/medication adherence, physical activity, self-assessment, and other lifestyle modifications. Diet adherence includes order adherence and education on a low-sodium heart healthy diet (DASH). Physical activity will be encouraged and tolerated. Self-assessment includes monitoring signs and symptoms and taking daily weight and blood pressure. A lifestyle modification to highlight is the cessation of smoking. An article by Yu, et al. al, provides a study that demonstrates the use of empowerment strategies to aid in education and self-management of HF. By using the empowerment strategies from the study, such as patient goal setting and enhanced nurse to patient interactions, there was a significant increase in the overall health outcomes of these patients with HF.

Evidence-based management (EBMgt) is the systematized use of the best available evidence to improve management practice. Evidence-based management is about making decisions through the attentive, detailed, and sensible use of four sources of information: practitioner expertise and judgment, evidence from the local context, a critical evaluation of the best available research evidence, and the perspectives of those people who might be affected by the decision (Reay, Berta, & Kohn, 2009). At its

Mentorship plays an integral part in the next generation of practitioners and nursing professionals play a vital role in guiding a process that allows the transference of knowledge, skills and attributes from healthcare professionals to the students they are working with (English National Board and Department of Health 2001). This assignment will critically review the key issues for the preparation of an
Previously there were only 2 nurses but now it has been changed to 3 nurses per shift. The assignment was determined upon the staff nurses’ employment status. If the nurse is a full time employee, she or he will be assigned to a permanent team but if the nurse is per diem or part timer than they would be considered a floater. Assignments were modified when there was shortage of staff by basically dividing the patients under the care of the absent nurse among the other 2 nurses present who then had

(Cooper, 2006) For the purpose of my action research project, homework is recognized as an important component in a student’s education experience. I have recently observed a problem with some of the students in my 3rd grade class not completing and turning in homework assignments. The research topic stems from this classroom observation
This assignment aims to critically analyse a chosen nursing research article “Critical care patients’ experience of the helmet continuous positive airway pressure” by Dimech (2011) and was published in the Journal of Nursing in Critical Care (JNCC). It will examine both the strengths and limitations of the study by weighing various elements of the research undertaken and its value and implication for nursing practice. It will use a critiquing tool by (Ryan, 2007) (see Appendix 1). Evidence based
According to Jones, (2014), an active Scheme of work serves as a guide to handling and preparation for resources as well as permitting adequate time for alterations to be made based on current learner performance with particular reference to delivery models, methods of assessment and appraisal.
