Summary of Clinical Issue (200-250 words):

Hypertension can be defined as a situation where the blood exerts too much pressure against the arterial walls. It is described as having a blood pressure of more than 140/90 and severe if it is higher than 180/120 (Yang et al., 2017). Overweight is a weight higher than what is deemed acceptable, as indicated by the body mass index (BMI). 

Lifestyle modification is changing long-term behaviors, such as eating or exercising and sticking to the new routine. Obesity and hypertension are some of the diseases that can be managed effectively through lifestyle changes.

According to Alsinani et al. (2018), factors that increase and complicate hypertension are mostly linked to poor lifestyle behaviors, such as a sedentary lifestyle and unhealthy eating habits. For example, a sedentary lifestyle where the food consumed has a lot of fat and lack of exercise predisposes one to hypertension. A simple modification of these factors can potentially alleviate suffering in hypertensive patients.

Interventions such as engaging in aerobic exercises lead to weight loss as the exercise helps burn excess fat deposited in blood vessel lumens. This increases the lumen size, thus reducing blood pressure. Diet changes also lead to blood pressure control.

Reduced salt and fat intake play a significant role in controlling blood pressure (Mahmood et al., 2019). Other modifiable risk factors include the limitation of alcohol intake and stress management. These interventions are vital in controlling blood pressure in addition to taking antihypertensive.

PICOT Question: In middle-aged hypertensive and overweight adults, does lifestyle modification in the form of exercise and diet changes result in weight loss and reduced blood pressure within 12 months?

The first step of the evidence-based practice process is to evaluate a nursing practice environment to identify a nursing problem in the clinical area. When a nursing problem is discovered, the nurse researcher develops a clinical guiding question to address that nursing practice problem.

For this assignment, you will create a clinical guiding question known as a PICOT question. The PICOT question must be relevant to a nursing practice problem. To support your PICOT question, identify six supporting peer-reviewed research articles, as indicated below. The PICOT question and six peer-reviewed research articles you choose will be utilized for subsequent assignments.

Use the “Literature Evaluation Table” to complete this assignment.

Summary of Clinical Issue (200-250 words):

PICOT Question:

Select a nursing practice problem of interest to use as the focus of your research. Start with the patient population and identify a clinical problem or issue that arises from the patient population. In 200–250 words, provide a summary of the clinical issue.

Following the PICOT format, write a PICOT question in your selected nursing practice problem area of interest. The PICOT question should be applicable to your proposed capstone project (the project students must complete during their final course in the RN-BSN program of study).

The PICOT question will provide a framework for your capstone project.

Conduct a literature search to locate six research articles focused on your selected nursing practice problem of interest. This literature search should include three quantitative and three qualitative peer-reviewed research articles to support your nursing practice problem.

Note: To assist in your search, remove the words qualitative and quantitative and include words that narrow or broaden your main topic. For example: Search for diabetes and pediatric and dialysis. To determine what research design was used in the articles the search produced, review the abstract and the methods section of the article. The author will provide a description of data collection using qualitative or quantitative methods. 

Systematic Reviews, Literature Reviews, and Meta Analysis articles are good resources and provide a strong level of evidence but are not considered primary research articles. Therefore, they should not be included in this assignment.

While APA style is not required for the body of this assignment, solid academic writing is expected, and documentation of sources should be presented using APA formatting guidelines, which can be found in the APA Style Guide, located in the Student Success Center.

This assignment uses a rubric. Please review the rubric prior to beginning the assignment to become familiar with the expectations for successful completion.

Re: Topic 2 DQ 1 NRS433V GCU PICOT Question And Literature Search Homework

Qualitative data has been described as voluminous and sometimes overwhelming to the researcher. One strategy that would help a researcher manage and organize the data is by using the American Nurses Association’s (ANA) Code of Ethics as a framework. There are 9 different provisions that allow nurses to navigate through complex situations and ethical problems (Grand Canyon University, 2018). Each of the provisions deal with a different area involving patient care:

• Provisions
• Patient’s dignity
• Primacy of patient’s interest
• Promotion of patient’s safety
• Nurses accountability and responsibility
• Nurse’s self-integrity
• Influence of environment
• Continuing education
• Global perspective
• Profession association (Reid, n.d.)

Using the framework as a guide to organize data for qualitative research, enables the nurse to design a moral basis to deliver exceptional care to the patient.

Another strategy that can be used when compiling data for qualitative nursing research is the Foundational Ethical Principles; autonomy, beneficence, nonmaleficence, justice, veracity, fidelity, and confidentiality (GCU, 2018). Nurses should use these as guiding standards when researching, especially in areas that we might not personally agree with. The profession of nursing must always be one built in trust- where every person is treated with dignity & respect. Nurses have the responsibility to make sure their nursing research is safe, ethical and never causes undue harm. Keeping these principles in mind while researching, will help nurses abide by them.
