In this assignment, learners are required to write a case report addressing the personal knowledge and skills gained in this course and potentially solving an identified practice problem.

General Guidelines:

Use the following information to ensure successful completion of the assignment:

  • This assignment uses a rubric. Please review the rubric prior to beginning the assignment to become familiar with the expectations for successful completion.
  • Doctoral learners are required to use APA style for their writing assignments. The APA Style Guide is located in the Student Success Center.
  • This assignment requires that at least four additional scholarly research sources related to this topic, and at least one in-text citation from each source be included (use Scholarly article within 5 years).

Directions:

Construct a case report (2,500-3,000 words) that includes a problem or situation consistent with a DNP area of practice.

Requirements:

  1. Use a minimum of any two theories discussed in the course to develop the case report.(select from Middle-range theories. Nursing theories, Ethical theories, and biophysical & Psychosocial theories)
  2. Apply one or more theories to describe understanding of the problem or situation of focus.
  3. Apply one or more theories to the recommended intervention or solution being proposed.
  4. Develop the case report across the entire scenario from the identified clinical or health care problem through proposing an intervention, implementation, and evaluation using an appropriate research instrument.
  5. Describe the evaluation of the selected research instrument in the case report.
  6. Lastly, explain in full the tenets, rationale for selection (empirical evidence), and clear application using the language of the theory within the case report.

In addition, your case report must include the following:

  1. Introduction with a problem statement.
  2. Thesis development and purpose
  3. Brief literature review.
  4. Description of the case/situation/conditions explained from a theoretical perspective.
  5. Discussion that includes a detailed explanation of the synthesized literature findings.
  6. Summary of the case.
  7. Proposed solutions to remedy gaps, inefficiencies, or other issues from a theoretical approach.
  8. Identification of a research instrument to evaluate the proposed solution along with a description of how the instrument could be evaluated.
  9. Conclusion.

Answer preview

Various studies indicate that falls are the major cause of fatal injuries among elderly people. Falls are associated with high levels of non-fatal injuries, especially among senior citizens.  CDC points out that approximately 2.8 million people are treated in the emergence department every year. Out of the total number of falls, 800,000 are hospitalized, and 27,000 people succumb to the fall injuries annually. A high rate of falls in the country presents a considerable burden to the country’s health system. For instance, the total cost associated with falls in 2015 was approximately $50 billion, where the Medicaid and Medicare shouldered 75 percent of the total costs.  Fall in the geriatric population is attributable to numerous factors, including poor vision, structural inabilities, and other comorbidities. Walsh et al. (2018) highlight that geriatric falls are among the major causes of death in the geriatric population.  If the right measures are not put in place, patient falls can present financial difficulties to patients, hospitals, and the country at large.
