School of Nursing QEP Writing Prompts
NUR 1211L (Medical-Surgical Nursing Clinical)
Health promotion is the act of empowering clients to take control over and achieve their optimal
level of health. Utilizing the topics listed below and evidence-based practice, you will write a
scholarly paper on health promotion including the following:
• Introduction to the topic (select one of the topics below)
• Description of the disease process (topic) selected
• Implement 4 health promotion measures involved in the prevention and care of
client with the disease process (topic) selected from the textbook, nursing journal
articles, and evidence-based practice, including complementary therapies.
• Analyze how health promotion can improve the client’s overall health and avoid
complications (include modifiable and non-modifiable factors such as age,
gender, ethnicity, and lifestyle). Be sure to compare/contrast what happens to
patients if they implement health promotion strategies and what could happen if
these activities are not implemented.
• Reflection on what you learned from the assignment and how it will impact your
practice in the future

Summary
Reflection
Introduce your QEP topic.
Include age, ethnic background (if relevant to the topic), gender, acuity level within hospital
(step down, floor, ICU), or if in a nursing home (assisted living facility, rehabilitation, or
skilled nursing), relevant medical history, diagnosis, reasons for admission, length of stay, etc.
Please be mindful of HIPPA.
Read and insert literature relevant to the topic:
• What kind of care is the patient receiving?
• How is the nursing staff currently addressing the patient’s health concerns?
• Why are the current nursing interventions important for the patient’s overall health?
• How do these interventions contribute to improving the patient’s health?
Read and insert literature which is relevant to the topic:
• How does the care the patient is currently receiving compare/contrast to evidence-
based practice?
• If the care provided differs from suggested practice, why did the nurse or student
nurse choose to deviate?
• If there is limited information available on patient care, what kind of care MIGHT the
patient receive for their current ailment(s) according to evidence-based practice?
Summarize most important points from paper. Draw any final conclusions about topic.
In this section, you may now begin to write in first person (I, me, my). Address these
questions in this section in a narrative fashion:
• What did you learn from the assignment?
• How does this new information compare to your prior knowledge?
• How do you feel about it?
• How did it change you?
• What new skills can you now apply?

Mobility
Mobility involves physical movement of the body, and its existence dictates the level of
independence and freedom a person holds. Mobility is a spectrum, with full mobility lying on
one end, immobility on the other, and varying degrees of mobility lying somewhere in between.
Mobility “requires sufficient muscle strength and energy, along with adequate skeletal stability,
joint function, and neuromuscular synchronization” (Crawford & Harris, 2016. p. 40). Disturbances in
mobility are caused by postural and muscular abnormalities, central nervous system damage, and
trauma to the musculoskeletal and nervous system (Potter et al., 2017). Acute or chronic pain are
also deterrents. Additionally, long periods of immobility can negatively affect the body systems
and may cause impaired tissue perfusion, deconditioning of the muscles, orthostatic hypotension,
thrombus formation, pneumonia, pressure ulcers, contractures, constipation, and psychosocial
complications amongst other health issues (Crawford & Harris, 2016). To this end, improving
and preserving the degree of mobility that a person possesses is essential to their well-being. This
fact especially rings true in the nursing home setting where the preservation of mobility can have
a huge impact on a patient’s quality of life and autonomy. Therefore, to prevent decline,
evidence-based practice and interventions must be used to resolve the causative factors of the
patient’s mobility impairment.
Patient Description
F.G. is an 82-year-old woman residing in the long-term care of a nursing home. She has
been a resident there for 10 months. Her current medical diagnoses include Parkinson’s disease,
scoliosis, anxiety, major depressive disorder, arthritis, ischemic stroke, and dementia. These
disease processes cause her to experience dysphagia, bradykinesia, muscle weakness, fatigue,
3
pain, mental decline, and tremors. She exhibits great difficulty ambulating and is mostly
wheelchair bound.
Patient Care
F.G. requires full assistance with basic Activities of Daily Living (ADLs) and needs help
with grooming, bathing, and toileting. She also needs help with ambulation and moving from her
bed to her wheelchair. Moreover, the nursing staff encourages her to participate in her self-care
as much as possible. She can brush her teeth on her own and feeds herself without help. F.G.
only requires the help of one nurse at

Hypertension
Hypertension is one of the most common cardiovascular conditions in the United
States and worldwide. So severe is this disease that it may result in premature death, stroke,
chronic kidney failure, coronary artery disease, and myocardial infarction if untreated.
Statistics indicate that 25% of adults in western nations are hypertensive (Oparil et al., 2018).
However, most of them are unaware of having this problem. Hypertension refers to elevated
blood pressure levels. Current criteria for diagnosing hypertension include having systolic
blood pressure readings of more than 130mmHg and diastolic blood pressures of higher than
80mmHg at more than two reproducible measurements. Additionally, systolic blood
pressures of
