Locate a scholarly, research article in the database and complete the three summary sections. Locate an internet website using a popular search engine. Evaluate the credibility of the information provided. Determine strategies to incorporate these resources into patient and /or community education. Both the scholarly article and the website should be on the same health topic. Topic : _ Peripheral Artery Disease _ 1. Using the Database : locate a scholarly article in this database on your topic. Limit the article to the last 5 years . ATTACH a copy of this article to the worksheet . Title of article: _ Disparities in peripheral artery disease care: A review and call for action _ Author(s), last name first: Demsas, Falen, Joiner, Malachi, Telma, Kate, Flores, Alyssa, Teklu, Semhar, Gyang-Ross, Elsie _ Title of publication/journal: _ Elsevier/Seminars in Vascular Surgery __ Date of publication: __ June 2022 ___ Vol/Issue: ___ Volume 35, Issue 2 _ Page #(s): 141-154 _ DOI# if available: _ N/A _ Database name: _ Science Direct __ Date retrieved: __ 09/13/2023 _ Purpose of the article (including a nursing diagnosis): The purpose of this article is to educate the public about the seriousness of peripheral artery disease, as well as educate the public about the warning signs of this disease, medical interventions, and the statistics of the individuals in the United States that have PAD. Finally, this article is intended to express the differences in the statistics on how PAD affects different races. Nursing Diagnosis: Ineffective Tissue Perfusion (peripheral) related to reduced arterial blood flow due to atherosclerosis, secondary to peripheral artery disease, as evidenced by pain, diminished pulses, swelling, and fatigue.

Nursing 150 Library Project Supporting Ideas (Author’s main point and the patient care process): The author’s main point is to educate the public on the differences in peripheral artery disease between men and women as well as different racial and ethnic disparities. Another main point by the author states that men statistically are more likely to develop peripheral artery disease than women. The author also says that women who develop peripheral artery disease are more likely to be asymptomatic. In conclusion, the author states that the women who do develop PAD and are symptomatic are more likely to have more symptoms than men who have symptomatic PAD. Women’s ambulation is slow and unsteady compared to that of men, and women are more than likely to develop later in life onsets than men. Regarding racial and ethnic disparities, approximately 30% of Africa Americans will develop peripheral artery disease in their lifetime and they are more than likely to develop the disease in their early 60s. Diversely, 20% of Caucasian individuals will develop the disease in their lifetime at the age of 70. The author also shares in the article that African Americans are 1.5 times more likely to have peripheral artery disease than non-Hispanic white individuals due to having strong family histories of hypertension, diabetes, smoking, etc. Patient Care Process: Revascularization, exercise therapy, claudication, percutaneous transluminal angioplasty, arterial reconstruction. Conclusions (Author’s results, conclusions and/or recommendations): The author’s results at the end of the article state how providers should aim to improve their diagnosing and care when it comes to peripheral artery disease. The author believes that providers should be aware of the differences in sex, race, and ethnicity that have significant impacts on disease prevention. The author also expresses at the end of the article that providers should provide comprehensive care with primary care practitioners to address unique patient circumstances. To conclude, the author states that providers should be willing to develop new technological tools that can bridge the gap between patients to improve vascular outcomes across all patient subgroups.

Comprehensiveness: Does the information provided include hyperlinks to other websites and/or sources of information? Do they work? How objective are they? Yes, the information provided included other sources of information. I am unsure if they worked or not because I did not click on the hyperlink, due to the information not being pertinent to my search of PAD. I believe the sources are objective, The information did not pertain to my topic of choice, but they were legitimate articles. F. Intended purpose and intended audience: How would this site benefit a professional nurse? I believe this site is beneficial to a professional nurse because it is easy to find. The website is also user friendly and can be accessed at work. If a nurse is questioned by the patient about something they may not be familiar with, if the doctor is not available to answer questions, this website could be a great resource and can be educational for patient and professional nurse. Any other health professionals? This can be resourceful for other professionals such as Health Care Providers, Nurses, therapist, professionals in a radiology department. This website covers all of the facts and points regarding PAD. How would this site benefit health care consumers? This could be beneficial when implementing the nursing care plan. This website was full of trustworthy sources, as well as facts and statistics. I believe consumes could greatly benefit from this resource.

Nursing 150 Library Project 3. Write a paragraph evaluating the credibility of the information found on the website and comparing and contrasting it to the information found in the professional journal. Attach extra paper if needed. I believe the credibility of this professional journal and from the website journal have some similarities and differences. I feel as though the professional journal was straight forward with limited detail. While the website had a great deal of detail and information within the content. Both sources were pertinent and credible when it comes the information, facts, statistics, and tips regarding the topic I chose. Both resources stated all facts and no opinions about Peripheral Artery Disease. 4. Describe several strategies to incorporate these resources into patient and/or community education. Give details and attach extra paper if needed. These resources could be incorporated into patient and/or community education in numerous ways. One way is to simply print the resources and hand them to the patient at the time of discharge. A health care provider could also review the information with the patient and address the important facts. Another way these resources could be incorporated is to create a support group with individuals in the community who have PAD. Additionally, these resources could be utilized by creating a flyer with important citations, and putting them in doctor’s clinics, and wellness centers, where a patient and caregivers can review the information while awaiting their appointments. These resources can promote awareness and help the patient and family to better understand the disease process, prevention and management.
