Gastric Bypass Surgery

Introduction

  1. (Paragraph 1) Select a problem you are interested in studying (Gastric Bypass Surgery) that has applications relevant to evidence-based nursing practice (for most of you, it will be the same one you wrote about in Discussion Forum). Start with a general or broad statement or question, then become more specific. Include at least two statistics about the nursing problem or issue and cite the sources in APA format (Author, Year).
  2. (Paragraph 2) In a new paragraph, describe briefly a new approach to the problem, possible solution, or a bundle of interventions that is being used or proposed. Define terms if necessary. Cite at least one source for the intervention you want to research.
  3. (Paragraph 3) Start a new paragraph and clearly state the purpose of your paper. Examples: The purpose of this paper is to review the literature on (Gastric Bypass Surgery)…. and to determine the best practices for (Gastric Bypass Surgery) ….. OR The focus of this paper is to search for the best evidence related to (Gastric Bypass Surgery)…… Explain why you chose this problem and how it is important to nursing.
  4. Avoid using personal pronouns (I, me, my) in a professional paper like this. Use passive tense and generalizations like “This topic was chosen because nurses play an important role in preventing …”. OR “This is an important topic to research because some nurses have seen….”
  5. Start reference list alphabetically in APA format. All citations in text should be in reference list and all items in reference list should be cited somewhere in the paper (including secondary sources). All citations in text should be in (Author, Year) format, per APA manual. Do NOT put the full article title or journal name in the sentences or paragraphs.

Tie points from my PICOT Questions into the introduction (My PICOT Question is listed below) Gastric Bypass Surgery vs. Gastric Sleeve Surgery

PICOT, Search Strategy, and Articles (major heading left flush). (Find two articles related to my PICOT question). Include articles in references. (I will submit another assignment for you regarding the two article critiques after this introduction is completed)

  1. In the paper, state the PICOT Question which you will be using to guide your literature search, in this format (including the initials and parentheses (P) (I) (C) (O) (T) after each segment): In ___________ (P), how does ____________ (I) compared to __________(C) affect ___________ (O) within ______________ (T)?

My PICOT Question: Are patients who have gastric bypass surgery (P) at an increased risk for bowel obstruction, malnutrition, and major organ complications (I) compared to gastric sleeve procedure patients (C) affect the patient overall health (O) over three years (T)?
