Document Summary

Focus on evidence for climate change and the consequences for us. It will be based on the past so we will look at historical evidence on what the earth has done since life began. Many of you want to be medical doctors or engineers but this phenomenon will affect you. We have a real problem and it will come with a vengeance. It will be evidence based and the field is evolving so we don"t know the answers. This is the first time this course has been taught but i have taught similar courses. The field is moving quickly in terms of the evidence. Your perception is the world that you have grown up in but that is not the world, it is much larger. My parents immigrated because they didn"t want to see another war with russia. You all have a different heritage but we all come from the human heritage.

The final capstone project is a culmination of the writtenresearch-based assignments completed throughout the course. Eachwritten assignment contributes to the final Evidenced-BasedProposal paper. This is the first written assignment.

Think about what you have learned with regard to the fivecritical steps of evidence-based practice. In a formal paper of500-750 words, address the following:

Part 1: Defining the Problem

Identify and describe one topic that may resolve apatient-care-quality problem or issue.

Draft a possible problem statement.

Describe a problem. Explain why it is a problem, and why it issignificant to your discipline. Use the literature you gathered assupport for why this is a problem in relation to your practice. Theproblem should focus on the resolution of an issue significant toimproving patient care.

Draft a purpose statement in relation to your problem statementthat states what you hope to accomplish if you implemented thisproject.

Part 2: Defining a Searchable, AnswerableQuestion

From what you wrote about your problem and purpose, developsearchable questions using the PICOT format that will be the basisfor your implementation plan. Word count is not relative in thissection. Include evidence-based resources.

QUESTION 9

  1. Match the following components of the evidence-based publichealth approach to the description that follows:

    Sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS) is the most common cause ofdeath between age 1 month and one year. Twenty years ago itresulted in over 5,000 deaths per year.

    The guidance for having infant sleep on their back to reduce theincidence of SIDS has a grade of A.

    Case-control studies were important in establishing a cause andeffect relationship between having infants sleep prone and SuddenInfant Death Syndrome.

    The Back-to-Sleep campaign directed information at parents andcaregivers with the involvement of clinicians, crib manufacturers,and the media. The mortality from SIDS fell by approximately 50%within several years of the beginning of the Back-to-Sleepcampaign

    Recommendations

Suppose a family friend has recently given birth to a boy. Through neonatal metabolic screening, the baby has been diagnosed with medium chain acyl-CoA dehydrogenase deficiency (MCADD). Neither parent has this disorder. The doctor explained MCADD to your friend, but she was upset by the diagnosis and found it hard to concentrate during the doctor’s explanation. Knowing that you’re studying biochemistry, your friend has asked you a few questions about her child’s disorder:

1. What causes this disorder?

2. The doctor said we should not let the baby go for a long time without feeding. why? What happens if he doesn't feed fo a long time?

3. If we have another baby, what are the chances that our second child will also have the disorder?

Write answers to these questions that briefly explain in layman’s terms the genetic cause of MCADD and the biochemical consequences of a fast in individuals with this disorder. When considering the biochemical consequences, focus on metabolic pathways discussed in this course. Go into only as much detail as needed to answer the mother’s questions, and remember to use language that a non-scientist can understand.
