Hi, This assignment is about issues in older people. please follow these steps Step 1: Select a topic which is ( Care of an older person with depression: Assessment and prevention OR Assessment and Management interventions choose one of these topic up to you writer. Step 2: Describe why this topic is a problem for the older person. Step 3: Find and describe 5 pieces of evidence from 5 sources. One source will be available for each topic to get you started so you only have to find 4 sources ( I will upload the file for you ) Step 4: Evaluation evidence i. Describe the level and quality of the evidence using a hierarchy a. Quality: Primary or Secondary and type e.g. A primary Cohort study and Degree of bias- RCT less risk of bias but expert opinion more risk of bias. Tip-The higher up on the hierarchy the less risk of bias. b. Report the level of the evidence from the hierarchy. ii. Describe the relevance of the evidence. e.g is this evidence relevant to older people with delirium iii. How applicable is this evidence to the care of older people in Australia. e.g. is it applicable to all older Australians with delirium. Step 5: Making recommendations Step 5 Make a recommendation for nursing practice from each piece of evidence i. e one piece of evidence = 1 recommendation. For each piece of evidence recommend if the evidence can be used in the nursing care of the older person in: In most situations? In some situations? In no situations? And explain your choice. Why are you making this recommendation? Step 6: Recall a clinical situation you have experienced OR describe a clinical situation from another nurses experience or from literature. If it is your story then you can use I. If it is another persons story then you have to identify this by referencing- (personal communication if the story from another student or a nurse in practice or the author if the story is from the literature). Step 7: Describe how 3 of pieces of evidence could be applied to the clinical situation that has been described in Step 6. For example evidence about a pain assessment tool to use with a person with dementia was found- how would it apply to the situation described. Step 8: Summarize and list the evidence you have found and your recommendations. Present copy of this information to your nursing team (your fellow students and tutor) ( for this step please put it in separate file so that I presented to my teacher ) . Please note: suggests using TRAAP ( Timeliness; Relevance; Authority; Accuracy; Purpose) to find evidence for university work. T: Do not use journal articles older than the year 2000. Do not use textbooks or polices that are older than 2015. Clinical Practice last 5 years R and P: Do not use sources that are not developed for health professionals. Need to access evidence about older people as OLDER People are different. A and A: Only use sources that are peer reviewed.
