The document provides guidance for Assignment 5#1AA, which involves selecting a nursing practice problem, developing a PICOT statement, and identifying relevant research articles. Specifically: The selected practice problem is pressure ulcers among elderly patients in long-term care. A PICOT statement compares the use of honey-based dressings to traditional dressings on wound healing, pain, and satisfaction over six weeks. Six peer-reviewed research articles are referenced and their abstracts summarized. The articles evaluate honey for wound healing, compare pressure ulcer risk scales, and examine treatments like sucralfate and factors like blood clots that influence pressure ulcers.

1. Assignment 5#1AA
The first step of the EBP process is to develop a question from the nursing practice problem
of interest.Select a Practice Problem of interest to use as the focus of your research.Start
with the patient and identify the clinical problems or issues that arise from clinical
care.Following the PICOT format, write a PICOT statement (Put an example of
patientdisease )in your selected practice problem area of interest, which is applicable to
your proposed capstone project.The PICOT statement will provide a framework for your
capstone project (the project students must complete during their final course in the RN-
BSN program of study).Conduct a literature search to locate research articles focused on
your selected practice problem of interest. This literature search should include both
Quantitative and Qualitative peer-reviewed research articles to support your practice
problem.Select six peer-reviewed research articles which will be utilized through the next 5
weeks as reference sources. Be sure that some of the articles use qualitative research and
that some use quantitative research. reference include the article’s abstract. The completed
assignment should have a title Create a reference list in which the six articles are listed.
Beneath each page and reference list with abstracts a.Suggestions for locating qualitative
and quantitative research articles from credible sources:1. Use a library database such as
CINAHL Complete for your search.2. Using the advanced search page check the box beside
“Research Article” in the “Limit Your Results” section.3. When setting up the search you
can type your topic in the top box, then add quantitative or qualitative as a search term in
one of the lower boxes. Research articles often are described as qualitative or
quantitative.To narrow/broaden your search, remove the words qualitative and
quantitative and include words that narrow or broaden your main topic. For example:
Diabetes and pediatric and dialysis. To determine what research design was used, review
the abstract and the methods section of the article. The author will provide a description of
data collection using qualitative or quantitative methods.Prepare this assignment according
to the guidelines found in the APA Style Guide, located in the Student Success Center. An
abstract is not required.This assignment uses a rubric. Please review the rubric prior to
beginning the assignment to become familiar with the expectations for successful
completion.You are nt required to submit this assignment to Turnitin.Expert Solution
PreviewIntroduction: The Evidence-Based Practice (EBP) process involves developing a
question from a nursing practice problem of interest, conducting a literature search to
locate research articles, and analyzing the literature to support the practice problem. In this
assignment, we will select a practice problem, write a PICOT statement, and locate six peer-

ulcers are a common clinical problem among elderly patients in long-term care
facilities.PICOT statement: In elderly patients with pressure ulcers, how does the use of
honey-based dressings compared to traditional dressings affect wound healing, pain
management, and patient satisfaction over a period of six weeks?Reference list:1. Johnson

This systematic review evaluates the efficacy of honey in the management of various oral
lesions, including pressure ulcers. The study found that honey has significant anti-
inflammatory, antimicrobial, and antioxidant properties that promote wound healing.2. Jull

effectiveness of honey as a topical treatment for various types of wounds, including
pressure ulcers. The study found that honey promotes wound healing, reduces pain and

prevention and treatment of blood clots in cancer patients. While the article does not
directly address pressure ulcers, it is relevant to the topic because cancer patients are at
increased risk for pressure ulcers due to immobility and other factors that increase the risk
of blood clots.#Assignment #51AA
