I need help with the following discussion question:

In NR 500, you developed a PICOT question.  Select a nursing theory that you find useful in nursing practice.  Discuss each of the following selected elements of the PICOT format by applying your selected nursing theory to the element. Be sure to include a scholarly reference.

• Population/ Patient Problem:  Consider how your selected nursing theory may guide you in selecting the population and/or patient problem
• Intervention:  Does your selected nursing theory identify a possible intervention?  If not, how is your selected intervention consist with your selected nursing theory?
• Outcome:  How would the outcome of your PICOT study contribute to your selected nursing theory?  Would it add new information?  Would it confirm some part of the theory?

 

The purpose of my PICO (T) question is to determine if implementing pressure ulcer interventions such as turn and position every 2 hours, keeping skin clean and dry from bodily fluids, and reducing friction and shearing will reduce the patients chance of developing HAPUs. 

P = Adult non-ambulatory patients in the emergency department 

I = Initiating pressure ulcer prevention treatments (keeping skin clean and dry from bodily fluids, reducing friction and shearing during transfers, providing adequate hydration and nutrition, and positioning for proper body alignment) upon arrival to the emergency department 

C = Not using pressure ulcer prevention 

O = Decrease in-patient hospital acquired pressure ulcers that could've been prevented at the start of the emergency room visit 

T = not applicable 

Researchable question: Do adult non-ambulatory patients who are admitted to the ER have fewer pressure ulcers if early prevention measures (keeping skin clean and dry from bodily fluids, reducing friction and shearing during transfers, providing adequate hydration and nutrition, and positioning for proper body alignment) are implemented during the ER visit versus after in-patient admission? 

 

 The nursing theory I have utilized through out this class consistently is Nola Pender's Health Promotion class. I would like to apply this to the PICO(T) question answering the discussion question. If there is another nursing theory that is applicable, please feel free to use.
