Current best evidence-based practice for Rheumatoid arthritis
Rheumatoid Arthritis has been subject of numerous studies and researches in the look for a better understanding of how it effects the individuals diagnosed with it. There is a higher incident of females diagnosed with RA than male as well as a relationship with genetic and environmental factors involved. Around one percent of the world population is affected by RA; therefore, diverse studies have been performed to understand how the lives of the diagnosed patients can be impacted by the disease. For example, how RA affects the mobility, safety and activities of daily living in general as well as the development of interventions to better approach RA. On

Therefore health literacy policy can aid our older community with a better understanding of rheumatoid arthritis by to be able to get access to the numerous resources available to patients diagnosed with the disease. Sixty years and older population is highly affected by RA and it is especially this age population that normally battle health literacy due to the limited access to media and computers. Interventions to contra rest health literacy should be focus on this population and their priorities. For example, different setting will need to be assess at the time of educating our population about the signs and symptoms of rheumatoid arthritis as well as possible ways to approach it, in order to implement interventions that will counteract the painful and negative effects of RA. Even when RA can affect the independency of the people affected by it, it is clear than many of our older adults want to keep their independency and live alone therefore access to resources available and early diagnosis could stop the disease for rapidly progressing and debilitating our older affected population. The fact that the effects of RA can make it difficult for anyone to even perform activities of daily living a soon approach to the disease can help to decrease the painful inflammation by introducing assisting devices early on life.
What are the major ethical issues related to working with this older population?
Due to the complexity of rheumatoid
In order to develop nursing knowledge and establish evidence-based practice (EBP) in nursing, there needs to be a "concept model, one or more theories and one or more empirical indicators" (Fawcett & DeSanto-Madeya, 2013, p. 26). The theoretical framework can be advantageous in guiding and supporting the design and execution of an EBP change. Using a conceptual model (C) theory (T) and empirical research (E) provides the foundation for an intervention to an identified clinical problem. Known as C-T-E structure, the application of this system in nursing practice involves an elevated level of critical reasoning, which assists in knowing what data is important and how it relates to practice change (Chinn & Kramer, 2011; Fawcett & DeSanto-Madeya, 2013; Mazurek Melnyk & Fineout-Overholt, 2015). The doctoral level of nursing necessitates the need to combine the understanding and knowledge gained from using the C-T-E structure, and then integrate the concepts and theories into daily practice.

Evidence-based practice is extremely important in health care. It is not only important to know how to perform a certain skill, but why it should be done. There needs to be a standard of care and providers need to know the best way of doing things based on evidence. The article mentions that in the 20th century, many medial decisions were made on doctor assessment and preference (Brower, 2017). Many physicians were practicing dramatically different when compared with one another, which led to the realization that changes needed to be made and Evidence-based practice began to develop. Even though Evidence-based practices have been in play for a while, there is a gap between understanding and applying evidence-based
Within this essay Evidence based Practice will be identified and the significant effect it has on the nursing profession, barriers will also be explored in the implementation of Evidence Based Practice.

This piece of work will be exploring the different forms of research and their significance in the evidence-based practice.
Evidenced Based Practice (EBP) is essential to enable all nurses to provide the most current up to date practises for their patients. This process involves research, systematic review of current practises, critical thinking skills, evaluation and application to the clinical setting. In addition to this, the nurse must take into account the patients’ preferences. For nurses to have professional autonomy they must be able to justify their actions and demonstrate an understanding of why they perform the tasks they do. This defines them as unique professionals judged by their knowledge and not simply by their hands on skills.
EBIs to reduce disruptive behavior and increase academic achievement can include trainings and implementation support at the school, class-wide, and individual student-level, and are often either academic or behavioral in nature. Overall, implementation of both universal (i.e. class-wide) and targeted (i.e. student-level) interventions have demonstrated positive impacts on decreasing disruptive behaviors and increasing student academic achievement (Flower, McKenna, Bunuan, Muething, & Vega, 2014; Vannest, Davis, Davis, Mason, & Burke, 2010).Ross, Romer, and Horner (2012) also found that teachers in schools implementing Positive Behavioral Interventions and Supports with high fidelity

Evidence-based instruction includes reliable and valuable data obtained from your classroom. When you apply basil tests, unit tests, exit slips, and acuity assessments you need to collect the data from your classroom to organize your classroom groups. You should also use this data to decide who needs AIS or tiered interventions for certain areas. Instructional practices include the previously mentioned assessments. Pretests for all units of instruction can also help you understand what your students already know and who is weak in certain areas. For example, a unit on main idea and details using passages can be difficult for some students. Running records will help to determine what reading level your students are on. From this
Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a heterogeneous autoimmune disease that is chronic and acute, most likely to affect women and those between 35-50 years of age. The process of RA begins as an inflammation episode in the synovium, causes it to thicken and become edematous. Synovial inflammation results in joints that are swollen, tender, and stiff. The patient with RA may manifest symptoms of pain, morning stiffness, fatigue, weight loss, anxiety, and depression. (Chen, & Wang, 2007) Self-care abilities are affected by the clinical manifestations related to the disease process of RA.
In general Arthritis describes that inflammation that occurs in the joints which can be warmth, redness, pain and/or selling. RA is an ongoing type of arthritis, the symmetric involvements of joints differentiates RA from other arthritis types. normally when one side is effected the other side most likely is also effected such as both knees, hand or/and wrists. Patients with rheumatoid arthritis suffer from Joint pain, stiffness, fatigue etc which can effect their quality of life. In addition to medications clinicians must educate patients on Non-pharmacologic approaches to aid in relief such as the following
Disease Overview. Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA) is considered the most common autoimmune inflammatory arthritis disease diagnosed in adult patients and affects quality of life and leads to increased mortality rates. It is defined as a chronic, inflammatory, systemic autoimmune disorder characterized by symmetric, erosive synovitis that often leads to joint destruction, deformity, and disability. If left untreated, progression of RA could lead to irreversible joint damage, systemic effects including damage to the heart, lungs, & GI system. Early diagnosis and treatment can prevent long term complications and increase odds of remission.
There are many different types of arthritis and they affect many people. Rheumatoid Arthritis, also known as RA, is a common disease found in my family. Rheumatoid arthritis is a disease that causes inflammation of the joints. According to, Maripat Corr in the article “Introduction” Rheumatoid Arthritis can lead to deformities and structural damage that can lead to people suffering socially and economically. According to Mayo Clinic Staff in the article “Diseases and Conditions” Rheumatoid Arthritis is an “autoimmune disorder” and occurs when your immune system attacks the tissues of your body. Rheumatoid Arthritis can affect more than your joints. It can also affect the skin, eyes, lungs and blood vessels. Rheumatoid Arthritis is a
Background: Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA) is a chronic autoimmune and inflammatory disease featuring progressive joint damage leading to functional impairment and disability (1). RA is classified as a progressive systemic disease due to the extra-articular manifestations involving the lungs and eyes but beginning and principally affecting the synovial joints (1). RA patients present with a wide array of joint functional impairment with persistent disease activity (1). RA affects approximately 0.8% of the general population with a peak onset between 40-70 years and affects females 3 times more than males (2). Additionally, due to the disabling nature of RA, it imposes a reduced and disabling quality of life whilst also posing a huge economic burden on the individual, the community and society (3).
