I need help putting together a change theories presentation addressing self-care for nurses.   
Nurses are trained caregivers, yet they sometimes forget about themselves. Self-care is a planned activity for our physical, mental, and spiritual well-being. Lack of self-care can lead to errors, fatigue, and burnout, which comes at a high cost to patients, nurses, and the healthcare organization. The stress of the pandemic and the increased workloads have made many nurses put self-care even further on the back burner. During times of increased stress, self-care should increase, not decrease. As more research and data come out about the physical and mental strain of nursing, healthcare leaders worldwide are taking the initiative to acknowledge and treat self-care as an actual responsibility. It’s time for nurses and the facilities they work for to make self-care a top priority. Self-care can look different for every nurse and should be centered on their specific needs. A self-care plan should be specific, measurable, achievable, action-oriented, and time-sensitive. You have been tasked with creating a self-care program for your bedside nurses.

Question: Does my patient have significant aortic stenosis?
A 72 year-old woman with a history of CHF presents with several weeks of gradually progressive dyspnea on exertion (DOE). At her baseline, she is able to walk several blocks, but now feels winded. She denies chest pain, palpitations, syncope/near syncope, cough, orthopnea, or PND. She states she is compliant with her medications and diet. She has had a recent functional study that showed minimal ischemia.

Questions are the driving force behind EBP.  If there were no questions, EBP would be unnecessary. Using the identified clinical problem in discussion #3.
Formulate a PICOT question by identifying:

P – Patient or Problem: Who is the patient? What are the most important characteristics of the patient? What is the primary problem, disease, or co-existing condition?
I – Intervention: What is the main intervention being considered?
C – Comparison: What is the main comparison intervention? (optional)
O – Outcome: What are the anticipated measures, improvements, or effects?

Convert this PICOT to a clinical question.

Discussion Prompt: Lifestyle Changes for Disease Prevention and Management
Overview: Lifestyle modifications play a crucial role in preventing and managing chronic diseases such as cardiovascular disease, diabetes, and obesity. For this discussion, you will explore how lifestyle changes—such as nutrition, physical activity, stress management, and avoiding harmful behaviors—can prevent or modify disease processes and promote restoration of health. (CSLO #4)
Instructions:
1. Choose a Disease Process: Select a specific disease process (e.g., hypertension, Type 2 diabetes, coronary artery disease, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease).
2. Discuss Lifestyle Changes: Describe at least two lifestyle changes that can prevent, modify, or restore health in relation to your selected disease. Use evidence-based practice (EBP) to support your discussion.
o Include specific examples of dietary changes, physical activity, smoking cessation, or stress management techniques.
3. Explain the Impact: Discuss how these lifestyle changes influence the disease process. Explain the physiological or behavioral changes that occur as a result.
4. Relate to Nursing Practice: Identify the nurse’s role in educating and promoting these lifestyle modifications. How can nurses empower patients to adopt and sustain these changes?
5. Support with Evidence: Integrate at least two peer-reviewed scholarly sources published within the last five years. Use APA format for in-text citations and your reference list.
