To complete this week, after reading chapter two in Melnyk and reviewing the lectures you submit a 2-3 page paper that explores the background of your issue. For this paper #1 you will be defining this issue or disease using the literature. It will end with the PICOT question. The parts of your paper should include:
- Introduction
- Definition
- Epidemiology
- Clinical Presentation
- Complications
- Diagnosis
- Conclusion with PICOT Question
PICOT Question: In hospitalized geriatric patients (P), does incorporating educational strategies into the patient’s plan of care and use of medicated urinary catheters (I), compared to use of a medicated urinary catheters alone (C), decrease incidence of inpatient catheter associated urinary tract infections (CAUTI’s) (O) over a three-month period (T).
All references must be in APA format and no older than 2013. References must contain a DOI or weblink to where it was found. Must use in-text citations as well. Please use proper grammar, capitalization, and punctuation. Below I have posted a few references that I have been using along the way for my research.
