The team has reviewed several research studies regarding treatment of pancreatitis in older adult women. One intervention is found to be particularly effective, but it requires a specific piece of expensive equipment and complex provider training
In which part of the FAME framework does this intervention score poorly? 1. F
2. A
3. M
4. E
1
Explanation: 1. "F" stands for feasibility and determines if the evidence is immediately practicable or if it requires extensive training and resources. Some evidence is also found to be impracticable. The evidence in this scenario falls in the middle to lower range.
2. "A" stands for appropriateness. Appropriateness concerns the ethics of using the evidence or intervention. There is no information to suggest that this intervention is not ethical.
3. "M" stands for meaningfulness. The standard ranges from evidence that provides a rationale for practice development to evidence that is unlikely to make sense to practitioners. This intervention is effective and there is no evidence that the rationale for using it is not clear.
4. "E" stands for effectiveness. The standard ranges from extensive validation with limited contradictory findings to concepts that need development. There is no indication that this intervention would score poorly on this rating.
