QUESTION YOUR THOUGT ON MD VS NP

TO BE RESPONDED

When I am working in the ED, I have lots of questions during patients’ care that why physicians order those diagnostic tests. When I asked some questions, physicians answered the rationals. Many times I realized that I don’t learn those things at the nursing school. The 11years medical school versus 6 to 7 years NP education’s curriculum and training level is different from the beginning because the nursing focus patients care than medical diagnostic orders. However, throughout RN experience and bedside care, NP can obtain knowledge about communication and emotional support and medical expertise at the same time. NPs can be more sensitive to patient care and listening to them. I want to be a professional patients care NP and, at the same time, perform good collaboration with physicians to build trust with patients. However, Norful stated that policymakers, and the public, have supported the expansion of nurse practitioners into primary care, yet the comanagement relationship between nurse practitioners and physicians remains poorly defined. Gaining NPs’ independent practice will be a prolonged assignment to all.

A group of nurses wishes to address the opioid crisis in the community by taking an EB approach to understanding the problem. The team is curious about the impact of an opioid addicted parent on their child’s perception of drug use. They decide to explore the literature on this topic. They create a PICOT question, use the key words identified from the PICOT question to search multiple sources and secure articles. They then begin appraising the literature. The bulk of the articles are from qualitative research. Some members feel the evidence is weak because it is qualitative research.

What are your thoughts on the value of qualitative research versus quantitative research in relation to what each brings to a body of evidence? How might you handle this situation?

TO BE RESPONDED

The scientifically proven practice should always be approach and considered because this type of research produces positive results. Both qualitative and quantitative research is extremely necessary for patients care. Quantitative data is information about quantities, and therefore numbers, and qualitative data is descriptive, and regards phenomenon which can be observed but not measured, such as language. (Mcleod, 2019) I think a quantitative research would bring more body of evidence regarding the need to address the opioid crisis in the community and because quantitative research produces numerical data or information that can be converted in number this would be the best approach. With this approach, we would find out how many people in the community is using opioid and would better able to handle the crisis. We would measure the proportion of persons using opioids and the different types of opioid drugs. The quantitative data could also examine the relationship between death and opioid use along with drug-related hospitalization.
