Abide by Chamberlain University's academic integrity policy. Include the following sections:

Practice Problem

Using the practice problem identified in the Week 1 discussion, summarize your practice problem in 2-3 sentences. Explain why the issue/concern is important to advanced nursing practice. Provide at least one in-text citation from a scholarly source.

PICOT Components

Discuss each of the following PICOT components in one or two sentences:

  1. P - Population and problem – What is the nursing practice concern or problem, and whom does it affect?
  2. I – Intervention – What evidence-based solution for the problem would you like to apply?
  3. C – Comparison – What is another solution for the problem? This is typically the current practice, an alternative solution, or no intervention.
  4. O – Outcome – How will you know the intervention worked? How you will measure the outcome.
  5. T – Timeframe – What is the timeframe or the target completion date?

  4. O =
  5. T =

All work must be original, follow APA guidelines, and include at least three scholarly references with proper citations to support your PICOT. Complete the assignment using the provided template, ensuring all sections are thoroughly addressed.

Paper For Above instruction

The process of formulating a PICOT question is fundamental in guiding evidence-based nursing practice, as it helps nurses identify the most effective interventions for specific patient populations. For this assignment, I have selected a practice problem related to managing hypertension in adult patients, which is a prevalent concern affecting cardiovascular health and overall well-being. Hypertension remains a leading risk factor for heart disease and stroke, making it a significant issue requiring effective management strategies in nursing practice.

This problem’s importance to advanced nursing practice lies in the critical role nurses play in early detection, patient education, and implementing evidence-based interventions to control blood pressure levels. An effective intervention can reduce complications, hospital readmissions, and improve patient quality of life. Research indicates that nurse-led interventions, such as patient education and regular monitoring, significantly improve hypertension management outcomes (Jones et al., 2020).

PICOT Components

The population (P) consists of adult patients diagnosed with hypertension who are receiving outpatient care. The concern affects both the patients' cardiovascular health and their capacity to adhere to treatment regimens. The intervention (I) I propose is a nurse-led patient education and self-management program that emphasizes lifestyle modifications and medication adherence, based on current evidence supporting education's role in blood pressure control. The comparison (C) involves the standard care approach, which typically includes routine follow-up without a structured education program. The outcome (O) will be measured by the reduction in systolic and diastolic blood pressures over a three-month period, indicating improved disease management and patient adherence. The timeframe (T) for this intervention and data collection is three months, aligning with typical follow-up periods in clinical practice.

Practice Question

In adult patients with hypertension (P), how does a nurse-led patient education and self-management program (I) compared to standard care (C) affect blood pressure control (O) within three months (T)?

Keywords

  1. P = adult hypertension patients, hypertensive adults, outpatient hypertension
  2. I = nurse-led education, patient self-management, hypertension education program
  3. C = standard care, routine follow-up, usual care
  4. O = blood pressure reduction, BP control, hypertension management outcomes
  5. T = three months, 12-week period, short-term follow-up
