OBJECTIVE

The purpose of this kultura PowerPoint presentation is to advocated for practice change and provide Evidenced Based recommendations in relation to computed tomography radiation exposure to children and young adults.

The presentation will include the following:

1.Introduction 2.Practice issue 3.Importance to nurse practitioner practice 4.PICOT question 5.Literature Review 6.Recommendations

INTRODUCTION

Computed tomography(CT) is frequently used worldwide and allows for the early detection and diagnoses of diseases, provides easy visualization of injuries, and it is used as a supportive guidance during surgical procedures. However, studies suggest that CT radiation exposure during childhood may be a risk factor for developing cancer. Safety measures should be implemented to decrease such risks.(Huang, Liu, He,2020).

PRACTICE ISSUE

My chosen area of interest is the relationship between computed tomography radiation exposure and cancer development in children and young adults.

Issue:

The use of computed tomography (CT) has increased dramatically over the past several decades.CT scan parameters are not appropriately adjusted for pediatric patients.
