evidence-based nursing practice

anyone can come up with some good answers to these questions?

What are you asking? I don't think anyone here is going to do your homework for you...

I am asking for different ways a nurse would handle these cases in reality.

These are senarios I made up

Sure looks like a homework assignment to me.

I'm sorry but it's not a good idea to post one's assignments here because there are a lot of nursing instructors here and some object to a student asking someone to do his/her homework or even giving the appearance of asking for someone to do it.

If you are smart enough to come up with these scenarios, you are certainly smart enough to answer the questions on your own.

The best suggestion I can give you is to contact your instructor if you're having trouble with the assignment or contact your school's librarian for help conducting a search of the literature.

Exactly lol...

To ensure ultimate learning outcome, each participant is encouraged to prepare for the following prior to attending the presentation on Evidence-Based Nursing Practice(EBNP).

Familiarize with the listed 3 topics and conduct a general search for best evidence to accomplish the desired goal.

For each scenario, answer these six questions and be prepared to discuss the answers in our presentation.

1. What is the desired outcome?

2. How many options does a nurse have?

3. What supporting evidence can a nurse come up with for each option?

4. What is the nurse’s decision as to which option to practice and the rationale for it?

5. What resources does the nurse search for?

6. How does applying EBNP affect the patient care outcome in these scenarios?

Scenario 1: What is the best evidence on the methods used to confirm the placement of NGT (nasogastric tubes)?

Scenario 2: What is the evidence on assessment of pain in cognitively impaired elderly?

Scenario 3: How do I find qualitative studies dealing adult survivors of childhood sexual abuse?

I'm sorry, but this material is obviously written in textbook language.

You'll find that AN members are happy to help students who post specific questions and share what they have already done to find the answers for themselves. When students share their thoughts on the material they're struggling with, we can focus on where their chain of thought breaks down or point them to care plan sites or other helpful information to guide their learning.

On the flip side, when people post what is clearly a homework assignment or they ask us to spoon-feed them large amounts of material with no evidence that they have done the preliminary work themselves, the reaction is what you're seeing here.

We don't want to rob you (or your future patients) of the benefits of doing the work these assignments require. We're happy to clarify, give direction, sort out confusion, etc., but to post three scenarios with six questions that apply to each (without any input from you!) is not the same thing.

I suggest that you take one scenario and answer the six questions to the best of your ability. Read your textbook. Google. Confer with your classmates. Then post what you have found and any further questions you might have. You'll get all kinds of help and encouragement at that point because we won't be worried that we're enabling a student to slide through homework that is meant to equip them to pass NCLEX and be a good nurse down the road.

In addition to everything stated above, I surely don't want to do anyone's homework especially when it would involve alot of time and WORK for me. I'm not here to work, I'm here to help some and to spend time in an interesting way.

I am a nursing instructor. If I recognized you from your posting, you'd be in deep doo-doo right now. If you got responses and turned them in, do the words plagiarism mean anything to you?

grrrr....

...stepping off of soapbox

Honestly, these texts are formulated by me and I am doing a research on the extent to which nurses use EBNP in their work. If they really do as the text books suggested, there should be answers flooding to my posting.

Again this is not a homework, but I am just being creative to find out what the real work situation is out there.

The way the text read out to be textbook language, I have no control. This is to my best English proficiency. I am not a native speaker!!!

I do not mean to insult you, but the posted material is proper, formal, academic-type language that is far different from your posting style. It is more "perfect" than most of us native-speakers can come up with. So forgive me if I still believe that it comes from another source. Let me add that you might have come up with the scenarios but the questions themselves appear to be from an academic source.

Also, the objectives of the questions have little to do with assessing "the real work situation out there." They appear to be designed to assess whether the person answering the question understands the concept of EBNP and how to implement this kind of approach and evaluate the results.

If you truly want to find out the real work situation regarding EBNP, I suggest you ask for the information you seek in simple, conversational language.
