I have attatch the directions to the assigment. Potential Issues related to Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, and Social Injustice and one reference are missing please just add it.

March 21, 2010, was not EBPs date of birth, but it may be the date the approach grew up and left home to take on the world.

When the Affordable Care Act was passed, it came with a requirement of empirical evidence. Research on EBP increased significantly. Application of EBP spread to allied health professions, education, healthcare technology, and more. Health organizations began to adopt and promote EBP.

In this Discussion, you will consider this adoption. You will examine healthcare organization websites and analyze to what extent these organizations use EBP.

To Prepare:

• Review the Resources and reflect on the definition and goal of EBP.
• Choose a professional healthcare organizations website (e.g., a reimbursing body, an accredited body, or a national initiative).
• Explore the website to determine where and to what extent EBP is evident.

Post a description of the healthcare organization website you reviewed. Describe where, if at all, EBP appears (e.g., the mission, vision, philosophy, and/or goals of the healthcare organization, or in other locations on the website). Then, explain whether this healthcare organizations work is grounded in EBP and why or why not. Finally, explain whether the information you discovered on the healthcare organizations website has changed your perception of the healthcare organization. Be specific and provide examples.I look forward to your Week 1 discussion. Post a description of the healthcare organization website you reviewed. Describe where, if at all, EBP appears (e.g., the mission, vision, philosophy, and/or goals of the healthcare organization, or in other locations on the website). Then, explain whether this healthcare organizations work is grounded in EBP and why or why not. Finally, explain whether the information you discovered on the healthcare organizations website has changed your perception of the healthcare organization. Be specific and provide examples.

Directions: Below is an example of the Patent Case Study that should be derived from a patient you have cared for related to your PICO question.

Guideline Categories:

Use the following pattern as your Guideline Categories for your Patient Case Study Exemplar is based on Septic Shock Abbreviated, (Harding et al., 2020):

1. Patient Profile A.M. is an 81-year-old man who was brought to the emergency department (ED) via an ambulance from a local nursing home. He was found by the nurse on their 6:00 AM rounds to be very confused, restless, and hypotensive.
2. Past Medical History A.M. has type 1 diabetes and a history of prostate cancer, myocardial infarction, and heart failure. He has been a resident of the nursing home for 2 years. His wife had to place him because she could no longer take care of him at home. He has had an indwelling urinary catheter in place for 5 days because of difficulty voiding. Until today, A. M. has been well-oriented and cooperative. His current medications include metoprolol (Lopressor) lisinopril (Zestril) hydrochlorothiazide isosorbide (isordil) and insulin.
3. Subjective Data: Denise any pain or discomfort (but patient is confused, and this information may be unreliable)
4. Objective Data:

• Neurologic: Lethargic, confused to place and time, easily aroused, does not follow commands; moves all extremities in response to stimuli
• Cardiovascular: B/P 80/60; HR112 bpm and regular.; Temp 103 F (40 C) axillary; heart sounds normal without murmurs or S3, S4; peripheral pulses weak and thread
• Skin: warm, dry, flushed
• Respiratory: RR 34 and shallow; breath sounds audible in all lobes with crackles bilaterally in the bases
• GI/GU: Abdomen soft with hypoactive bowel sounds; urinary catheter in place draining scant, purulent urine

1. Interprofessional Care

In the ED, 2 16-gauge IVs were inserted, and 700 ml of normal saline was given over the first hour. The patient was placed on 40% oxygen, via face mask. The patient was started on IV antibiotics and transferred to the intensive care unit (ICU) with a diagnosis of septic shock resulting from gram-negative sepsis.

1. Laboratory Data
2. Outcome Status

A.M.s BP continued to drop despite several liters of crystalloids. In addition to more fluid administration, norepinephrine was started and titrated up as needed to try to maintain the patients BP. Despite all efforts including intubation and mechanical ventilation, A.m., Died on the sixth hospital day. Cause of death was MODS caused by gram=negative sepsis.

1. Develop at least 3 critical questions that relate to your patient cases study. Below are some examples of critical thinking questions.
2. What risk factors for septic shock were present in A.M>?
3. What preventive measures could have been taken by the nursing home staff in regard to A.M.?
4. What are the major pathophysiological changes associated with sepsis?
5. Discuss the mechanism for hypotension in the patient with septic shock.
6. Explain the causes for assessment findings in this patient and any nursing interventions that can improve the patients condition.
7. What are the overall goals for this patient on admission?
8. Why was a pulmonary artery catheter indicated for A.M.?
9. Analyze the results of the ABGs.
10. Describe the changes in the hemodynamic pressure that would be expected as A.M.s condition worsened.
11. Explain the reason for fluid therapy and the use of norepinephrine.
12. Priority Decision: …what collaborative problems are present?
13. Write one critical thinking test question related to your patient case study.

PICOT Question it is based on: In patients presenting with acute cough, does the use of nebulized albuterol, compared to oral bronchodilators, improve symptom relief and reduce the need for follow-ups in a 24 to 48 hour turnaround?

Directions: Your problem statement will focus on presenting information related to the problem-intervention-comparison-outcome-time (PICOT) approach to nursing research. You will also present a brief literature review that supports the need you identified in your problem statement and the appropriateness of your broad intervention approach. Provide enough detail so that the faculty member assessing your problem statement will be able to provide substantive feedback that you will be able to incorporate into the other project components in this course, as well as into the final draft of your project.
