  • Who was the focus of the resource (e.g., first graders? parents? etc.)?
  • What was the resource discussing? What did it suggest? What were the findings?
  • Where was the context (classroom? grade level? home? etc.)?
  • Why is this important to the field of early childhood education? Be specific in explaining the connections of your resource to the course materials and topic for this week.
  • How will it help you as an early childhood educator in the classroom? List at least two things you will do in the classroom as a result of the information you learned from the resource.

Discussion: Searching Databases

When you decide to purchase a new car, you first decide what is important to you. If mileage and dependability are the important factors, you will search for data focused more on these factors and less on color options and sound systems.

The same holds true when searching for research evidence to guide your clinical inquiry and professional decisions. Developing a formula for an answerable, researchable question that addresses your need will make the search process much more effective. One such formula is the PICO(T) format.

In this Discussion, you will transform a clinical inquiry into a searchable question in PICO(T) format, so you can search the electronic databases more effectively and efficiently. You will share this PICO(T) question and examine strategies you might use to increase the rigor and effectiveness of a database search on your PICO(T) question.

To Prepare:

  • Review the materials offering guidance on using databases, performing keyword searches, and developing PICO(T) questions provided in the Resources.
  • Review the Resources for guidance and develop a PICO(T) question of interest to you for further study.

Post your PICO(T) question, the search terms used, and the names of at least two databases used for your PICO(T) question. Then, describe your search results in terms of the number of articles returned on original research and how this changed as you added search terms using your Boolean operators. Finally, explain strategies you might make to increase the rigor and effectiveness of a database search on your PICO(T) question. Be specific and provide examples.

Urinary Obstruction Case Studies

The 57-year-old patient noted urinary hesitancy and a decrease in the force of his urinary stream for several months. Both had progressively become worse. His physical examination was essentially negative except for an enlarged prostate, which was bulky and soft.

Studies

Results

Routine laboratory studies

Within normal limits (WNL)

Intravenous pyelogram (IVP)

Mild indentation of the interior aspect of the bladder, indicating an enlarged prostate

Uroflowmetry with total voided flow of 225 mL

8 mL/sec (normal: >12 mL/sec)

Cystometry

Resting bladder pressure: 35 cm H2O (normal: <40 cm H2O)

Peak bladder pressure: 50 cm H2O (normal: 40-90 cm H2O)

Electromyography of the pelvic sphincter muscle

Normal resting bladder with a positive tonus limb

Cystoscopy

Benign prostatic hypertrophy (BPH)

Prostatic acid phosphatase (PAP)

0.5 units/L (normal: 0.11-0.60 units/L)

Prostate specific antigen (PSA)

1.0 ng/mL (normal: <4 ng/mL)

Prostate ultrasound

Diffusely enlarged prostate; no localized tumor

Diagnostic Analysis

Because of the patient’s symptoms, bladder outlet obstruction was highly suspected. Physical examination indicated an enlarged prostate. IVP studies corroborated that finding. The reduced urine flow rate indicated an obstruction distal to the urinary bladder. Because the patient was found to have a normal total voided volume, one could not say that the reduced flow rate was the result of an inadequately distended bladder. Rather, the bladder was appropriately distended, yet the flow rate was decreased. This indicated outlet obstruction. The cystogram indicated that the bladder was capable of mounting an effective pressure and was not an atonic bladder compatible with neurologic disease. The tonus limb again indicated the bladder was able to contract. The peak bladder pressure of 50 cm H2O was normal, again indicating appropriate muscular function of the bladder. Based on these studies, the patient was diagnosed with a urinary outlet obstruction. The PAP and PSA indicated benign prostatic hypertrophy (BPH). The ultrasound supported that diagnosis. Cystoscopy documented that finding, and the patient was appropriately treated by transurethral resection of the prostate (TURP). This patient did well postoperatively and had no major problems.

Critical Thinking Questions

  1. Does BPH predispose this patient to cancer?
  2. Why are patients with BPH at increased risk for urinary tract infections?
  3. What would you expect the patient’s PSA level to be after surgery?
  4. What is the recommended screening guidelines and treatment for BPH?
  5. What are some alternative treatments / natural homeopathic options for treatment?

a. Discuss what you, the nurse, can do to address this aspect of nursing.
