PICOT Question

According to a report by CDC, approximately 3 million people develop pressure injuries each year. Pressure ulcers reduce the quality of quality of life. Each year a considerably large number of people are diagnosed with pressure injuries. Various ways can be used to prevent the progression of this phenomenon. This paper evaluates the most effective option that can be applied to prevent pressure injuries. It is framed on the basis of the PICOT statement, “In patients with severe pressure injuries (P), is the surgical removal of ulcers (I), compared with the administration of antibiotics (C) more effective in treatment of pressure injuries (O), in the short-term medical plan (T)?”

This study explicitly analyzes prevention as well as treatment actions that should be taken by nurses who carry the burden of reducing this phenomenon. The study is a qualitative study, in the sense that it does not involve an analysis of data both mathematically and graphically.

The authors use published information to support their arguments hence it is a peer-reviewed secondary study.

After evaluation, the study confirms that nurses should conduct preventative measures to reduce the effects of pressure injuries. This can be achieved by involving various types of treatment and nursing interventions to mention a few.

This study describes how health practitioners especially nurses performance reflect on the overall agenda of preventing ulcer pressure. The study is descriptive in the sense that it does not involve mathematical interpretation of data.

The study concluded that nurses who play an important role in health care paid little attention to ulcer patients. This affected the overall healthcare objective of preventing pressure ulcers. Nurses delegated their responsibility to their juniors.

This study examines factors that contribute to EBP pressure ulcer and would prevention. This is s primary study because authors conducted a research analyzing real events. Simply, the study mathematically analysis data.
