Non-targeted research, quantitative Among those disorders are diabetes, high cholesterol and hypertension. The last of those three has been and will continue to be the focus of the author of this brief summary in this report. Just as with the PICOT question done before, the sources consulted in this report pertain in whole or in part to the prevalence and incidence of high blood pressure in males. While there are always exceptions and outliers, it is clear that both the interventions and correlations (if not causalities) related to hypertension are quite easy to see and are proven in study after study.
996 males
Kruskal-Wallis H Test
Obstructive sleep apnea correlated with males (but not females) with hypertension
None stated
Scheers-Anderson et al., 2015
Secondary Research/Literature Review

Quantitative and Cross-Sectional
Data collected from bus drivers (exercise, tobacco use, etc.)
179 bus drivers aged 21 to 60 years old

Analysis
A total of five studies were consulted for the table that is listed above and those same sources are cited in APA format at the end of this document. All five of the sources related to the antecedents, comorbidities and confluences that commonly exist with hypertension and the interventions and patterns that are seen in preventing or at least limiting the same. One example would be BMI, which is short for body mass index. It is an imperfect measure in that people that are of abnormal body type or that are overly muscular as compared to the rest of the people in the same group will show BMI numbers that appear to be unhealthy but such a moniker does not really apply to…

PICOT Question Development and Literature Review The Modeling and Role Modeling Theory of nursing developed by Erickson provides a useful means of analyzing and presenting options for solutions of my research area. The theory is based on the concept that nurses must appropriately use models to guide patients to better health decisions. In the theory, modeling is the process by which the nurse seeks to know and understand the patient's personal

Patients in hospitals often complain of pain regardless of the diagnosis. Several activities in a patient's life contribute to pain. Some of the activities include amount of sleep, daily chores and quality of life (Alaloul, Williams, Myers, Jones, & Logdson, 2015). While health care expenses have increased significantly over the years, there have been great improvements in increasing both family and patient involvement in medical care. Hourly care is one
