This will be your first attempt at writing up a discrepancy, building the argument for the problem, providing your hypothesis, and finally a research question.<\/span><\/div>\n
Choose a simple discrepancy that you have noticed at work.  Things should be like this, but they are like that. Below is an example – please find your own problem from your work.  <\/span><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Big problem:<\/span><\/strong> <\/span>Post-Operative Pneumonia in persons over 65 years of age cause <\/span>disability and can cause death<\/i>. <\/span><\/span><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Current Discrepancy: <\/i><\/span><\/strong>All patients, especially those over 65 at risk for post-op pneumonia should be able to get pre-op teaching that includes proper use of an Incentive Spirometer (IS), but many patients, especially those over 65, do not get proper instructions during pre-operative education on the use of the incentive spirometer.<\/span><\/em> <\/span><\/em><\/span><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Find four facts that help to build the current argument about the problem:<\/span><\/strong> <\/span><\/span><\/div>\n
1) Incentive spirometers (IS) when used properly, increase lung expansion postoperatively (Eltorai et al. 2018). <\/span><\/div>\n
2) IS and patient lung expansion reduces the incidence of postoperative pneumonia (Eltorai et al. 2018). <\/span><\/div>\n
3) Patients over 65 who are undergoing surgery with general anesthesia are at higher risk for post-operative pneumonia (Marshall et al. 2021). <\/span><\/div>\n
4) Routine pre-operative education includes information on the use of IS for post-operative use, <\/span><\/div>\n
However, <\/span><\/span><\/b>n<\/span><\/span>ot all nurses provide the same pre-operative education with instructions for incentive spirometer use.  <\/span>(Current problem) <\/strong><\/span><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Research Question:<\/span><\/strong>  Are all patients who receive pre-operative education taught how to use an incentive spirometer? <\/span><\/span><\/div>\n
OR Are patients who receive pre-operative education on incentive spirometer use less likely to have post-op pneumonia? <\/span><\/div>\n
