This study implemented and evaluated a community-based fall prevention program based on goal attainment theory that targeted older adults with osteoarthritis. The program included education, exercise, and one-on-one counseling during which the participant and the provider set individual fall prevention goals. This study used a nonequivalent control group pre-/posttest design. Participants were older adults in senior centers with lower extremity osteoarthritis.

Gabapentin for Pain Management in Total Joint Arthroplasty: An Evidence-Based Practice Project
Gabapentin is routinely used in preoperative multimodal anesthesia to reduce pain following total joint arthroplasty (TJA) surgery. Evolving evidence has shown it is ineffective in reducing postoperative pain and should be used cautiously in this patient population due to its adverse effects. The purpose of this work was to implement an evidence-based practice (EBP) change in a small preadmission testing center. Utilizing the Melnyk EBP model, implementation occurred over 30 days. Pharmacy reports were used to determine the number of doses of gabapentin 300 mg dispensed from the ASU Phase II Omnicell 30 days before impleme...

Improving Hourly Rounding on an Orthopaedic/Trauma Unit
Hourly rounding impacts multiple patient care outcomes. The task of rounding has several obstacles and is made more time-consuming by donning and doffing protective personal equipment kits, especially in the setting of the COVID-19 pandemic. To improve the frequency of hourly rounding performance on the unit, nurses and unlicensed assistive personnel on an orthopaedic/trauma unit at an academic hospital in the Midwest United States were introduced to potential interventions in several PDSA (Plan-Do-Study-Act) cycles using quality improvement methodology. Methods included chart auditing, repetitive interventions designed by...
