Today, when returning from lunch, you observed that an experienced nurse was suctioning your patient. His secretions were thick, and you observed that the nurse was instilling saline into the patient’s endotracheal tube as she was suctioning him. The patient turned red and began coughing, and it was obvious he was in distress.
Develop a plan to address nursing theory gaps in this scenario, including how theory, research, and practice interact to create positive patient outcomes.
Define the theory-practice gap and describe how this potential gap can impact nursing practice and patient care.
Format your assumptions and findings of the theory-practice gap in a concept map. Show alignment of nursing theory and its relation to the nursing process (including alignment with critical thinking and clinical decision-making) for an improved nursing care plan.

Nursing Question
An understanding of the neurological and musculoskeletal systems is a critically important component of disease and disorder diagnosis and treatment. This importance is magnified by the impact that that these two systems can have on each other. A variety of factors and circumstances affecting the emergence and severity of issues in one system can also have a role in the performance of the other. Effective analysis often requires an understanding that goes beyond these systems and their mutual impact. For example, patient characteristics such as, racial and ethnic variables can play a role.An understanding of the symptoms of alterations in neurological and musculoskeletal systems is a critical step in diagnosis and treatment. For APRNs this understanding can also help educate patients and guide them through their treatment plans.
In this Assignment, you examine a case study and analyze the symptoms presented. You identify the elements that may be factors in the diagnosis, and you explain the implications to patient health.
Assignment (1- to 2-page case study analysis)
In your Case Study Analysis related to the scenario provided, explain the following:
Both the neurological and musculoskeletal pathophysiologic processes that would account for the patient presenting these symptoms.
Any racial/ethnic variables that may impact physiological functioning.
How these processes interact to affect the patient
Scenario 4: A 67-year-old man presents to the HCP with chief complaint of tremors in his arms. He also has noticed some tremors in his leg as well. The patient is accompanied by his son, who says that his father has become “stiff” and it takes him much longer to perform simple tasks. The son also relates that his father needs help rising from his chair. Physical exam demonstrates tremors in the hands at rest and fingers exhibit “pill rolling” movement. The patient’s face is not mobile and exhibits a mask-like appearance. His gait is uneven, and he shuffles when he walks and his head/neck, hips, and knees are flexed forward. He exhibits jerky or cogwheeling movement. The patient states that he has episodes of extreme sweating and flushing not associated with activity. Laboratory data unremarkable and the HCP has diagnosed the patient with Parkinson’s Disease.Please do a 1 to 2-page case study analysis. In your Case Study Analysis related to the scenario provided, explain the following:
Both the neurological and musculoskeletal pathophysiologic processes that would account for the patient presenting these symptoms.
Any racial/ethnic variables that may impact physiological functioning.
How these processes interact to affect the patient.

In observational studies, researchers identify groups with and without an existing exposure and collect data to identify any relationship between the exposure and a particular disease or health outcome (Dicker, et al., 2006). There are three main types of observational studies: cohort studies, case-control studies, and cross-sectional studies. In a cohort study, researchers identify those in the community with a particular exposure and follow-up with participants to see whether a particular outcome occurs (Dicker, et al., 2006). A case control study is more retrospective, in that researchers recruit participants with and without a disease and collect data on those participants to identify a common prior exposure among the affected group that is occurs less commonly or not at all in the non-affected group (Dicker, et al., 2006). Finally, in cross-sectional studies, researchers enroll participants in various stages of a particular disease and track their exposure and health outcomes simultaneously (Dicker, et al., 2006). The results of the latter tend to be less reliable than that the first two, since it can be difficult to determine what factors increase or decrease the risk of a disease when they are all tracked simultaneously (Dicker, et al., 2006).
