Case Study
Chapter 26 – Working with the Homeless
Sally Anne, aged 19, brought two children into the
emergency room. The 6-month-old boy’s complaints are
a cold with mild fever, fatigue, vomiting with dry
coughing spells, decreased intake of cola (2 ounces
every 3 hours—her version of clear liquids), one
scraped diaper per 12 hours— the diaper is not soaked
so Mom recycles it after scrapping off the solids. The
child’s cry is weak, red eyes, sneezing moves thick
mucus, prolonged cough, high-pitched noise during
intake. The child’s condition did not improve over the
last 24 hours.
The family of three lives in the family sedan parked
behind a service station due to Mom’s
fear of lack of shelter safety. Turk, the 3-year-old, sports
bruises on arms and legs, and a knot on his forehead.
He appears semiconscious (responds to light pain),
coughs when disturbed, refuses fluids and food, and
pulls away from touch. Mother states that he has been
sick for more than a week, but she is concerned that he
has not been as fussy the last 24 hours. His skin tents
when pinched. Sally Anne believes he lost weight but
has not used a scale. Turk does not look adults in
the eye or follow a finger point. He moans but has not
communicated with words. He appears to fantasize, and
finger plays violently. His fingers seem to attack each
other. He does not seem to listen nor does he respond

to questions. Both children are wearing dirty clothing.
Mom is exhausted and asks for help with formula and
diapers.
Treatment: Both children kept overnight for assessment
in a room with a bathroom and couch. Mother permitted
to bath and wash children’s clothing after their baths.
Cooling mist tent ordered. Children placed next to each
other for convenience and for precautions. Social
worker involved for discharge planning. The boys are
placed on IVs for hydration and given clear fluids for
drinking. Antibiotics are placed in the IV.

Assignment Instructions: Complete the following steps to begin your Policy Advocacy Letter for this week’s checkpoint assignment. You will submit your responses in an APA-formatted paper (approximately 200 words in length) with in-text citations and references for any cited resources used to support your proposal.
Identify a pending healthcare bill that needs improvement or propose a new bill recommendation relevant to your current practice, community health needs, or personal interests. Submit a link or a PDF of the bill with your paper for this assignment. Note: Navigate to Congress.gov and view the following video on how to search for legislation.
Explain why that bill or recommendation is important. You must specify the exact piece of legislation in your paper and refer to its appropriate title – e.g., “Title VIII funding, H. R. 952”.
Identify a leader or change agent (local, state, and national leader/legislator) who is appropriate to advocate for this policy change or adoption. Briefly justify why that leader is an appropriate choice for this policy change or adoption. Note: To determine your representatives, navigate to org.
Identify the official mailing or email address of this leader. Note: Your elected officials’ email and physical addresses are available on their websites. You can find out who represents you on the House and Senate Additional notes:
You are advocating for pending legislation. You cannot choose something that has already passed because if that is the case, no advocacy is necessary.
Always refer to your selected piece of legislation by its appropriate title – e.g., “Title VIII funding, H. R. 952”.
The elected official you contact must have the authority to vote for the proposed legislation. The mayor, governor, or assemblyman (woman) of a city would have no legislative authority and therefore would not be appropriate. You are most likely going to contact a state or federal member of Congress (House or Senate).

Introduction
Evidence-based practice (EBP) integrates the best evidence available to guide optimal nursing care, with a goal to enhance safety and quality. EBP is crucial to nursing practice because it incorporates the best evidence from current literature, along with the expertise of the practicing nurse. The concern for quality care that flows from EBP generates a desired outcome. Without these factors, a nurse cannot be an effective leader. It is important to lead not only from this position but from knowledge and expertise. To gain the knowledge, you require a good understanding of how to search for scholarly resources, as well as identify which databases and websites are credible for the purposes of implementing evidence-based changes in practice.
Your Online e-Portfolio
Creating an ePortfolio is not required in the BSN program, but you may find it helpful to create one to attach to your professional resume while job hunting. Online ePortfolios serve two key purposes: 1) to support learning and reflection, and 2) to be used as a showcase tool. Your learning journey can be documented, and ePortfolios contribute to lifelong learning and growth through reflection and sharing. Online ePortfolios can also be shared with employers and peers to present artifacts that demonstrate your accomplishments at Capella.
Professional Context
As a baccalaureate-prepared nurse, you will be responsible for providing patient-centered, competent care based on current evidence-based best practices. You will be required to do research, analysis, and dissemination of best evidence to stay abreast of these best practices. Understanding where to go to find credible sources and locate evidence, as well as which search terms to use, is the foundation of incorporation of best practices.
Scenario
You are supervising three nurses working on the medical-surgical floor of a local teaching hospital. This hospital is nationally recognized as a leader in education and has a computer lab with an online library where staff has access to medical research databases (that is, CINAHL, PubMed, Medline, and Cochrane library) and online sources of all hospital policies, procedures, and guidelines, and computers at nurse workstations that also have access to these resources. (For this scenario, use the Capella University Library to simulate the hospital’s online library.) You have given the nurses their patient assignments and you have all participated in shift report. A new nurse who just completed orientation and training a week ago approaches you and tells you that one of the assigned patients has a diagnosis he or she is very unfamiliar with. Knowing that patient-centered care based on best practices is imperative to positive patient outcomes, you want to assist this nurse to find research that can be utilized to provide the best care for this patient. Describe how you would communicate with this nurse to encourage him or her to research the diagnosis. Assume you will assist in the quest to locate evidence, then describe where you would go within the facility and what resources you would look for. These resources may include websites, journals, facility policies or guidelines, or any other sources of online information.
To select the diagnosis for the patient in this scenario, review the three diagnoses presented in the Assessment 01 Supplement: Locating Credible Databases and Research [PDF]  Download Assessment 01 Supplement: Locating Credible Databases and Research [PDF]resource and select one. You will use this same diagnosis to complete the next two assessments.
Create a list of at least five sources that could be used to find evidence, with the best source listed first, and explain why the sources you chose are best to find evidence for the diagnosis you chose and the clinical scenario. You are only evaluating the sources of evidence (database, website, policy database or website, journal article, et cetera). You are not actually completing a search and selecting evidence. Consider the following examples: a nursing journal in CINAHL may not be the best source of evidence for information on how to administer medications through a central-venous catheter, whereas a hospital policy database found on a website may not be the best source of information on caring for a patient with a rare chromosomal abnormality.
Preparation
To help ensure you are prepared to complete this assessment, review the following resources related to the Capella library. These resources will provide you an overview of the types of tools, resources, and guides available in the library. This may be useful in forming a better understanding of the library to apply to the hypothetical situation laid out in the scenario of this assessment.
BSN Program Library Research Guide.
Evidence-Based Practice in Nursing & Health Sciences.
Databases A-Z: Nursing & Health Sciences.
Get Critical Search Skills.
Remember, it is also appropriate to look toward databases and resources outside of the Capella library, such as organizational policies, professional organizations, and government health care resources.
You are encouraged to complete the Evaluating the Credibility of Evidence activity. This activity offers an opportunity to practice evaluating the credibility of evidence. These skills will be necessary to complete Assessment 1 successfully and is for your own practice and self-assessment. Completing this activity is also a way to demonstrate course engagement.
Instructions
The purpose of this assessment is to understand where to find evidence that can be applied to clinical scenarios and to learn effective communication and collaboration with clinical staff during the process of evidence location. As a baccalaureate-prepared nurse, you will not only use research for self-improvement in your clinical role, but you will also serve as a mentor to supervised nursing staff. Therefore, you will need to be able to communicate and collaborate effectively to guide them toward resources to find research, as well as support them through the initial evidence location process. In doing so, nurses can gain access to evidence that can be analyzed and utilized to stay current on best practices. This allows them to provide safe, patient-centered care and improve patient outcomes.
For this assessment:
Describe your role as a baccalaureate-prepared nurse supervising clinical staff nurses with regard to communication and collaboration in locating evidence for application to a nursing practice scenario.
Compile a list of five online databases or other online sources (that is, websites, journals, facility policies or guidelines, et cetera) that can be used to research evidence to apply to the diagnosis in this scenario and describe to which of these you would direct a nurse colleague to search for evidence.
Describe where you might go in the work place to complete this research and how you would access the desired, relevant research within research databases or other online sources.
Be sure to address the following in this assessment, which correspond to the grading criteria in the scoring guide. Please study the scoring guide carefully so that you will know what is needed for a distinguished score.
Describe communication strategies to encourage nurses to research the diagnosis/practice issue, as well as strategies to collaborate with the nurses to access resources.
Describe the best places to complete research and what types of resources you would want to access to find pertinent information for the diagnosis/health care issue within the context of a specific health care setting.
Identify five sources of online information (medical journal databases, websites, hospital policy databases, et cetera) that could be used to locate evidence for a clinical diagnosis/practice issue.
Explain why the sources of online information selected should provide the best evidence for the chosen diagnosis/health care issue.
Communicate using writing that is clear, logical, and professional with correct grammar and spelling using current APA style.
Note: While you are not selecting and evaluating specific evidence to help with the clinical diagnosis/practice issue, you should still be citing the literature and best practices to support your description of your communication and collaboration approach. Additionally, it is appropriate to cite best practices related to EBP and evaluating databases to support your explanation as to why you selected the five sources of online information that you did.
Example Assessment: You may use the following to give you an idea of what a Proficient or higher rating on the scoring guide would look like:
