Neonatal care is my selected topic. it is relevant since it enables infants born with complications to survive. Complications can be low birth weight and drug dependency, among others. Infants in neonatal care require specialized care to handle the risks of complications. Some who need specialized care are those with congenital disabilities, genetic conditions, and cardiac problems (Sanchez-Tamayo et al., 2014). Coming up with a picot question is relevant since neonatal intensive care is a complex program associated with dynamic interactions, integrated health systems, and complex systems. Picot question also enables neonatal nurses to realize new best practices alongside neonatal care in caring for and handling an infant with affection (Sanchez-Tamayo et al., 2014). Besides, humanized individualized care can be achieved whenever required for a proper response from the infant and to enable the infant to respond effectively to some behavioral responses. The PICOT question also allows nurses who are affiliated with evidence-based practice to understand how to show love and humane affection to ensure that infants achieve wellness.

PICOT QUESTION:

In preterm or low birth weight, neonates in various healthcare centers (P), skin-to-skin contact that is mainly done immediately after delivery (I) is more effective than conventional care (C) in ensuring that hypothermia is prevented (O)?

Discussion of the PICOT question

Low birth weight infant death has constantly been reduced by following skin-to-skin contact care. Mortality rates for infants born with low birth weight have been reduced by more than one-third with the aid of skin-to-skin care compared to conventional care (Sanchez-Tamayo et al., 2014). However, many cases have shown relevance in subjecting infants born with low birth weight to traditional care since it also effectively reduces hypothermia. For this reason, there is a need to analyze the benefits of skin-to-skin contact and relate them to conventional care to ensure that hypothermia is prevented. With the aid of the ticket question, there will be a proper analysis of best practices associated with traditional care and skin-to-skin contact with infants born with low birth weight.

The topic I selected was diabetes and mental health.

Personally, I chose this topic because I am a type 1 diabetic. That being said, diabetes has always been an interest for me. Additionally, I was diagnosed with diabetes in my teenage years; surprisingly, it was quite hard to cope with my new diagnosis. As a young adult, coping with diabetes is still something I struggle with. After my own experience, I have always wondered if others are struggling too. Diabetes is a physical and financial burden.

Aside from personal reasons, I chose this topic because diabetes and mental health are both evolving issues in the United States today. Approximately 8 out of 10 adults in the United States have prediabetes and are unaware (2020). Further, approximately 1 out of 10 adults in the United States have already developed diabetes (2020). These statistics are especially concerning because the risk for early death is 60% higher for adults with diabetes versus those who are not diabetics (2020). In the same way, mental health statistics are equally appalling: about 50% of Americans will be diagnosed with a mental illness at some point in their lifetime and 1 in 25 Americans live with a serious mental health issue (like schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, or major depression) (2021). Mental health is an important matter to address because untreated mental health leads to suicide and violence. Suicide rates raised 30% between the years 2000 and 2018 (2022). Moreover, there were approximately 45,000 that committed suicide in 2020 alone; that is the equivalent to about one death every 11 minutes (2022). These statistics support the idea that diabetes and mental health are both of significant concern because they lead to premature and preventable death.

PICOT Question

My goal is to determine if diabetes can lead to severe mental health diseases. With that said, I thought it would be best to use the etiology question type. The ultimate goal would be to find some sort of intervention for people with mental illness and diabetes. However, before interventions can be implemented, the totality of the problem needs to be analyzed.

Are young adults who have diabetes compared with those without diabetes at an increased risk for mental health disease over adulthood?

Best Practice recommendation in Nursing

Proper hand washing is one of the best practices in nursing. Hand washing pay an important role in the patient-to-patient transmission of microbial pathogens among health care workers. Proper hand hygiene is the first measure to prevent cross contamination among patients. Constant hand hygiene practice also reduces health care associated infection (HAI). Always use soap and water or alcohol-based ingredient for hand washing. Using soap and water is the best option for hand wash especially when the hand is contaminated with body fluid. Alcohol-based detergent can also use when no body fluid involved and always wash hands with soap after three uses of alcohol. Improper hand hygiene among health care worker can contaminate patient. It is important for nurses and physicians to constantly wash hand before and after patient contact (Sadeghi & Rzavi, 2009).

I am currently working on my BSN through the LPN to BSN program at University. I have been working as LPN in the long-term care, TCU, Assistant living facilities, and home care setting since 2020. I’m also currently working part-time as Remote Telemetry Teach in the hospital at the cardiac unit. I get exposure to many interesting things working in the health care field for over ten years as a PCA, TMA, and pharmacy technician. Helping people in any aspect of their needs in life makes me satisfied; as a nurse, integrity and caring characteristics are my core value.

When it comes to applying knowledge from this course, as a BSN-prepared nurse, the area of nursing that I would like to go to as an RN would be a cardiac unit. Patients seen in this area can be from a young age to geriatric patients. Recognizing lethal rhythms and acting on time can better outcomes for cardiac arrest patients. Ventricular fibrillation is one of the four lethal rhythms caused by either a problem in the heart’s electrical properties or by a disruption of the normal blood supply to the heart muscle. (Taylor, et.al, 2021) Before ventricular fibrillation happens, the Patient might show an early sign of fast heartbeat, chest pain, and dizziness. The best practice recommendation treatment would be early CPR and the use of AED to reverse into the normal heart rhythm in most cases Romer, 2016). Implementing EBP in delivering quality care can help with positive patient outcomes. Getting continued education and applying EBP to your practice helps Patients get better more efficiently. BLS and CPR certification are essential for a nurse or any healthcare provider to facilitate best practices to help save a life.
