Description

This Assignment is helpful in developing the groundwork for understanding and integrating evidence-based practice in healthcare throughout the rest of the course. In this Assignment you will have the chance to see how the research you look for can be applied in the work you do in your practice.

Overview:

You will select a topic relevant to your practice area, post the topic to Discussion Board 2 for feedback, research the topic, and write a scholarly paper.

From the chapter readings and discussion, formulate a 3–5 page scholarly paper in APA format, providing an overview of the terms and function of EPB. An introduction, discussion and conclusion is expected in the overview on this topic

Directions:

  1. Formulate the question.
  2. Using the Cochrane database, research the question using the PICOT model and key words.
  3. Post your topic and a short summary of results for feedback from your instructor and peers by Day 5.
  4. Write a 3–5 page paper, reviewing evidence-based practice, as it relates to your practice question and integrate feedback from the instructor and/or peers.
  5. Include a minimum of three evidence-based references.

MY PICOT question: What is the effectiveness of the Patient Controlled Analgesia (PCA) and intermittent nurse administered injections in helping reduce the postoperative complications as compared to using intermittent nurse administered injections within the healing duration after surgery?

In the United States, more than 70 million people undergo surgery every year. Studies
have established that among those who undergo the surgical operations, 80 percent experience
acute postoperative pain, and 20 percent of the population experience severe pain. Inadequate
pain relief management have both long and short-term consequences that may increase the length
of hospital stay, delay surgical recovery, reduce patient satisfaction, increase chances of
readmissions, and also increase the cost related to health care. Studies have also established that
most of the drug addicts in the world who have undergone surgical operations tend to experience
postoperative complications.
The essence of this paper is to examine the effectiveness of Patient Controlled Analgesia
(PCA) as compared to the use of intermittent analgesia dosing or intravenous injections which
are normally administered by nurses to the patients. To establish the effectiveness of PCA,
relying on the existing case studies and randomized control design will be employed. It is
important to understand that PCA is different from intermittent nurse administered injections
because it gives full auto...
