Capstone Evidence-Based Practice Paper
In this assignment, students are expected to analyze their performance on the integrated comprehensive assessments and reflect on areas of opportunity and strategies to promote NCLEX-RN success and transition into practice.

Social Determinates of Health

Refer back to the interview and evaluation you conducted. Family Health Assessment. Identify the social determinates of health (SDOH) contributing to the family’s health status. In a 750-1,000 word paper, create a plan of action to incorporate health promotion strategies for this family. Include the following:

Describe the SDOH that affect the family health status. What is the impact of these SDOH on the family? Discuss why these factors are prevalent for this family. (The SDOH directly affecting family health status are relevant, accurately identified and thoroughly described. The direct impact to the family, and why the factors are prevalent to the family, are discussed in detail. The discussion is well supported and illustrates insight into SDOH and their effect on family health status.)

Based on the information gathered through the family health assessment, recommend age-appropriate screenings for each family member. Provide support and rationale for your suggestions. (Screenings presented for each family member are age appropriate and highly relevant. Screenings correlate to the information gathered through family health assessment. Strong rationale and support is presented.)

Choose a health model to assist in creating a plan of action. Describe the model selected. Discuss the reasons why this health model is the best choice for this family. Provide rationale for your reasoning. (A health model is selected and thoroughly described. A detailed discussion of how the model will assist in creating a plan of action is presented. Reasons for why it is best for this family are clearly outlined. Strong rationale and support are provided to support reasoning.)

Using the model, outline the steps for a family-centered health promotion. Include strategies for communication. The health model is used to create a relevant and viable family-centered health promotion. The steps to achieve the desired outcome are described in detail.

Appropriate strategies for communication with the family are clearly presented. The health promotion is well-designed and demonstrates an ability to assimilate findings and appropriately apply theoretical knowledge to achieve desired outcomes.)

Cite at least three peer-reviewed or scholarly sources to complete this assignment. Sources should be published within the last 5 years and appropriate for the assignment criteria.

 

Why is it important to develop workable hypotheses and research questions in conducting research?

/in /by

You are a nurse on 5 West who has concerns about visiting hours in the Critical Care Unit. The unit currently has a visiting-hours policy that allows patients to rest and the staff to provide care in an environment that protects patient privacy and modesty.

However, many nurses now feel that family presence improves patient outcomes. You and other nurses on your unit have noted that vital signs are improved and patients are more responsive when family is present.

You are considering whether to use a quantitative or qualitative study to research this topic.

Step 2: Consider the following questions:

What is the purpose of hypotheses and research questions?

Why is it important to develop workable hypotheses and research questions in conducting research?

What type of research—qualitative or quantitative—would be most conducive to the scenario in Step 1? Why?

Which would be more appropriate given the scenario in Step 1: the development of a hypothesis or a research question or both? Why?
