Week 2: Problem Identification and Description Using PICOT Format

i. Identify and describe the problem in clear and concise language. To help you

think about what problem you might choose, keep in mind the health or nursing

problems of the patient population(s) you currently serve, those you encountered

in your clinical courses, or those you plan to work with in the future.

•

• Describe the clinical setting.

• Describe the service area for the clinic and population groups who attend the

clinic services.

• What kinds of problems do you see in the clinic?

ii. Give a clear, explicit statement of the problem and target population, as well as

the background of the specific problem relative to the clinical setting.

•

• Is it broad enough that you can analyze it from many theoretical and conceptual

points of view and make suitable plans to address the problem from a number of

perspectives?

• Is it of enough interest to you that you are willing to spend most of the semester

thinking about it, assessing all its dimensions, planning in detail how to address

it, and designing a detailed intervention and evaluation plan?

iii. Describe the significance of the evidence-based project that could be
implemented in the selected setting to the nursing profession. Ask yourself why it
is important to you. Consider your own clinical interest.

•

• Describe clinical observations that point out the knowledge gap, clinical gap, etc.
• Describe the significant research in the area that has been done that delineates

the gap in our knowledge.

Your paper should be 3–4 pages in length, not including the cover or reference pages.
You must reference a minimum of 3 scholarly sources in your paper.

Use the current APA format to style your paper and to cite your sources.

Nursing M3 Assignment

Assignment topic for Communication:

Under the communication topic is the idea of advanced directives. The  advance directive idea has grown from basic forms that can be found in  the state statutes to very refined documents such as Five Wishes or  POLST or MOLST. But to start this topic we can access the Florida State  statutes and see what the State of Florida has to offer as a advance  directive. Here is the direct link to the Florida State Statute 765.101 https://www.caringinfo.org/planning/advance-directives/by-state/florida/ 

 Links to an external site. 

Scroll down to “Download Florida Advance Directive” This will give  you an idea about the contents of the standard State form using the  Florida one as an example. If you list the main parts it will give you  an idea about the types of choices these forms allow for which are not  exactly detailed or extensive in content. Now if you were to open a Five  Wishes form: https://www.fivewishes.org/five-wishes-sample.pdf 

 Links to an external site. and compare to the earlier State form it becomes obvious the difference. 

As a variation on the same theme there is also the POLST form which  also gives several choices as a type of advance directive form. This  will be our discussion for the communication module.

Assignment: Compare  the two methods of Advanced Directives, that is the State of Florida  form with either the Five Wishes or the POLST form and describe the  following:

a) What are the differences between the forms?

b) Why do you think that there are differences between the forms?

c) What is accomplished by the newer generation of advanced directive (eg. Five Wishes or POLST)?

d) Which form would you rather have as a patient? and why?

Your answer should be at least 300 words and have a reference to it.  You should comply with APA 7th ed guidelines and answer all of the  questions clearly and completely.
