Discuss why the quantitative method is the best method based on your project questions and data. Choose three potential designs that you could use for your project. Based on the three potential designs, determine potential analysis methods and why?

Clinical/PICOT Questions:
Do elderly patients in long-term care (P) that have a urinary Foley catheter that is placed on a Prevention Strategy Urinary Catheter Protocol (I) experience reduced chances of acquiring catheter-associated urinary infections (O) compared to those without (C) within 4 weeks of implementation?

The quality improvement will be based on a perspective that will be carried out on elderly patients in medical/surgical/telemetry. The setting for the study is West Covina, CA 76-bed hospital. The hospital provides care for patients in West Covina and the surrounding communities. The quality improvement project will also be supported by the hospital’s management at all levels. The quality improvement will involve of patients 65 years and older.

A 57-year-old male construction worker comes to the clinic with a chief complaint of pain in his right hip. The pain has progressively gotten worse over the last 2 months and he has been having trouble sleeping. There is little pain in the morning, but he is a bit stiff.

There is no history of past trauma or infection in the joint. Past medical history noncontributory. Social history without history of alcohol, tobacco, or illicit drug use. A physical exam is remarkable for decreased range of motion of the right hip.

BMI 34 kg/radiographs in the office demonstrated asymmetrical joint space narrowing of the right hip with osteophyte formation. Several areas of the hip showed bone-on-bone contact with loss of the articular cartilage. The APRN tells the patient he has osteoarthritis (OA) and refers the patient to an orthopedist for evaluation of his need for a total hip replacement.

Question:

Describe how osteoarthritis develops and forms and distinguishes primary osteoarthritis from secondary arthritis.
