CASE STUDY: 79 year old female with a past medical history of hypertension, hyperlipidemia, and coronary artery disease presents with her daughter who is complaining of progressive confusion that has been worsening over the past 6 months. She is experiencing cognitive and memory issues with behavioral and emotional changes. She has been having issues with performing ADLs and personal hygiene.

For this exercise, first write about how evidence-based practice (EBP) is/was used in your work site or your clinical practice area as a student. Discuss any meetings with nurses that incorporate EBP or other ways that research studies or best practices are utilized.
Then write about one item that you notice in your nursing practice area that you think needs to be backed by evidence (clinical or research evidence) so that nurses are following a standard of practice. Explain the item and then describe how people are doing it differently and not following a standard of practice.
Search for one example of a nursing research study published in the last 5 years on this topic as evidence of the way it should be. Describe the major findings of this study in a paragraph (what was done, number of people in study, conclusion) and how you see those findings being applicable to practice. Paraphrase what you find in the article. Be careful that you do not use a Quality Improvement (QI) project report or a literature review article.

Acute Kidney Injury and Chronic Kidney DiseaseWill is a 68-year-old male with a history of hypertension. Eight months ago, he started regular dialysis therapy for ESRD. Before that, his physician was closely monitoring his condition because he had polyuria and nocturia. Soon it became difficult to manage his hypertension. He also lost his appetite, became weak, easily fatigued, and had edema around his ankles. Will debated with his physician about starting dialysis, but she insisted, before the signs and symptoms of uremia increased, the treatment was absolutely necessary (Chapter 34, Learning Objectives 1 to 4).
What is the difference between azotemia and uremia?
Two years ago, Will’s physician told him to decrease his protein intake. In spite of what the physician ordered, Will could not stop having chicken, beef, pork, or eggs at least once a day. Why did his physician warn him about his diet?
Will’s feelings of weakness and fatigue are symptoms of anemia. Why is he anemic?
Knowing what you do about Will’s history, why is left ventricular dysfunction a concern for his physician?

CASE STUDY: Family Member with Alzheimer’s Disease:
Mark and Jacqueline Mark and Jacqueline have been married for 30 years. They have grown children who live in another state. Jacqueline’s mother has moved in with the couple because she has Alzheimer’s disease. Jacqueline is an only child and always promised her mother that she would care for her in her old age. Her mother is unaware of her surroundings and often calls out for her daughter Jackie when Jacqueline is in the room. Jacqueline reassures her mother that she is there to help, but to no avail. Jacqueline is unable to visit her children on holidays because she must attend to her mother’s daily needs. She is reluctant to visit friends or even go out to a movie because of her mother’s care needs or because she is too tired. Even though she has eliminated most leisure activities with Mark, Jacqueline goes to bed at night with many of her caregiving tasks unfinished. She tries to visit with her mother during the day, but her mother rejects any contact with her daughter. Planning for the upcoming holidays seems impossible to Mark, because of his wife’s inability to focus on anything except her mother’s care.
Jacqueline has difficulty sleeping at night and is unable to discuss plans even a few days in advance. She is unable to visit friends and is reluctant to have friends visit because of the unpredictable behavior of her mother and her need to attend to the daily care.
Reflective Questions

2. How do you think that Jacqueline may be contributing to her own health
