Question Answered step-by-step Introduction to Theoretical FrameworksWhere do I start?First, read the case study and review the model (Figures 2 & 3) and research questions. Then, the assignment will consist of your responses to specific questions submitted to the discussion area.Case StudyA group of nurses working in a hospital observed that some patients with chronic renal insufficiency were less cooperative because of being anxious and unable to think clearly. They also noted that these patients were less likely to ambulate and actively participate in their care unless there was a family member present. Through reviewing the literature, the nurses identified a lack of knowledge about the effects of renal insufficiency on ambulation. The nurses collaborated with an educator with a doctoral degree and developed a proposal for a descriptive, longitudinal study of ambulation and family presence of patients with chronic insufficiency. The framework of the study was synthesized from physiological principles and a theory of family presence and presented as a model (Figure 2). Figure 3 is the same model with the variable names instead of the concepts. Figure 2Renal Function——————–Ambulation———————-Family presence Figure 3 Serum levels of by products of protein metabolism——————–Distance walked————–Family member in Room  The study was designed to answer the following questions:How do renal insufficiency, ambulation, and family presence change over the course of hospitalization?What are the relationships among renal insufficiency, ambulation, and family presence?Questions for DiscussionIn your own words, describe the physiological theory that supports the relationship between renal insufficiency and ambulation.What do the positive signs by the arrows between the concepts mean?Figure 3 displays the variable related to each concept. What are possible operational definitions of the variables? Hint: first, define operational definition.It is required that you support your commentary  discussion with external resources      Health Science Science Nursing NSG 129 Share QuestionEmailCopy link Comments (0)
