Evidence-based Care Plan for Vila Health Patients NURS FPX 4030 Assessment 4 Remote Collaboration and Evidence Based Care

The presented scenario is a straightforward guide for healthcare specialists to improve patient outcomes through evidence-based knowledge exchange, telemedicine, and optimizing healthcare delivery in a time when distant healthcare is becoming increasingly important. With the help of the following evidence-based research articles, I would like to present an Evidence-based care plan for Caitlynn to help her cystic fibrosis achieve the desired healthcare outcomes. These guidelines of the care plan are:

• Infection control
• Learn airway clearance technique and maintaining sufficient oxygenation
• Adequate proper nutrition
•  A pediatric-focused care team  
• Management of medication

Because of the patient’s young age, it is especially crucial to emphasize family involvement to promote successful long-term self-management. Controlling infections is crucial to treating CF. Caitlynn’s risk of respiratory infections will be reduced by hand cleanliness, and she will obtain all advised vaccinations and screening (Barben et al., 2021). Secondly, educating her family about the airway clearance technique and observing her oxygen level is essential. A study by Terlizzi et al. (2021) explains that due to the risk of respiratory infections, it is important for CF patients to have an airway without any secretions.

Thus, suctioning and giving adequate oxygen support is necessary. Next, I will discuss the importance of nutrition for CF patients. A specific meal plan for Caitlynn will be developed as part of our treatment strategy in close collaboration with a nutritionist. With the help of this strategy, she will be able to manage the difficulties caused by CF-related malabsorption while receiving the nutrients she needs for growth and development (Bailey et al., 2022). Further in our care plan, Caitlynn will have access to a local dedicated pediatric-focused care team, including a pediatric pulmonologist, respiratory therapist, dietitian, and social worker with experience treating cystic fibrosis children.

Pediatric experts will help develop individualized care plans based on the patient’s needs and preferences. Lastly, the pediatric-focused care team will regularly monitor Caitlynn’s medication schedule. This entails seeing to it that she takes her prescription drugs as directed, checking on their efficacy, and making necessary modifications (Pinto et al., 2019).

Integration of Evidence-based Care Model

  As the presentation goes on, I will discuss the evidence-based care model that is, Iowa model that was applied to creating this care plan. The IOWA model is a well-established model that leads nurses through the EBP process, integration of professional knowledge, experiences, and preferences; assessment of clinical practice needs and available research; selection, implementation, and evaluation of evidence-based therapies; benchmarking and re-assessment when necessary (Chiwaula et al., 2021).

With the help of the IOWA model, I started with a thorough assessment to develop an efficient care plan for Caitlynn with cystic fibrosis. I started the process by thoroughly analyzing the state of the research, assessing the needs for CF control, and identifying specific challenges. Based on the assessment, I chose and implemented evidence-based therapies designed explicitly for CF control. Being able to continuously assess the efficacy of my efforts to control CF. I ensured that my care plan aligned with Caitlynn’s parents’ beliefs, preferences, and treatment objectives by incorporating them into the decision-making process.

Collaboration has been at the core of my approach. I worked closely with a multidisciplinary CF care team comprising experts from various fields to ensure that their clinical expertise and real-world experiences were seamlessly integrated into our CF control strategies. We set measurable outcomes to evaluate our CF control strategies’ effectiveness. I have been able to alter care as needed based on treatment that considers the patient’s status and adherence to the care plan (Pinto et al., 2019). Given the complexity of the condition, the collaboration spirit among healthcare professionals from several disciplines has been fostered. It ensures a comprehensive and coordinated approach to CF management.

I considerably improved Caitlynn’s outcomes, provided high-quality, evidence-based treatment to people with cystic fibrosis. It increased the effectiveness of our CF control efforts by carefully integrating these tactics within the IOWA Model framework. In addition to telehealth, several evi
