Assignment task:
Make a succinct summary of the information in the current (no more than 5 years since date of publication) literature (maximum of 25 scholarly sources) relevant to timely discontinuation of indwelling catheter prior to patient discharge at inpatient rehabilitation hospital. This will include a synthesis of research studies and an overview of any theoretical frameworks being used for timely discontinuation of indwelling catheter prior to patient discharge at inpatient rehabilitation hospital. (Refer to the How to Synthesize Information content in the course to assist you with this assignment.) At a minimum, you should have:
1. Explain the search strategies you used (1 brief paragraph on method, keyword searches, databases, date range, and description of sources/organizations).
2. Synthesize and summarize previous studies (five paragraphs) including key findings and best practices that are related to the problem associated with timely discontinuation of indwelling catheter prior to patient discharge at inpatient rehabilitation hospital using sources published within the last five years or seminal work or that may include the following:
- Peer-reviewed, scholarly articles from nursing-specific journals
- Publications from nursing-specific professional organizations
- Publications from health-related government (for example: Healthy People, AHRQ), civic, or community organizations
3. Describe the theoretical framework(s) selected for use in the project intervention. At a minimum, at least one theory must be identified and described including details explaining how the theory is applicable to timely discontinuation of indwelling catheter prior to patient discharge at inpatient rehabilitation hospital. Support the description of the theory with scholarly sources. (This is part of the Rationale section in the Final Project Plan.) Want Online Help?
4. Review Galen's Compassionate Care Model. Identify concepts that align with the timely discontinuation of indwelling catheter prior to patient discharge at inpatient rehabilitation hospital intervention. State the concepts and explain how each concept identified aligns with the project specifically.
