I. Clinical Question II. Citation: III. Study Characteristics Patients included (Population and sample): Interventions compared: None. Outcomes Monitored: Does the study focus on a significant problem in clinical practice? IV. Methodology/Design Methodology used: i Design: Setting: Data sources:

Subject selection: Has the original study been replicated? Yes What were the benefits of the nursing action/interventions tested in the study?

V. Results of the study

VI. Authors conclusions/recommendations What contribution to client health status does the nursing action/intervention make?

What overall contribution to nursing knowledge does the study make? VII. Applicability Does the study provide a direct enough answer to your clinical question in terms of type of patients, intervention and outcomes? Yes, the study is able to answer our clinical questions. Children with cerebral palsy are the target population of the clinical question and it wants to know if changes in the body position would affect the upper extremity function of a child with cerebral palsy. Is it feasible to carry out the nursing action in the real world? Yes, the intervention can be carried out in the real world but it seems that only those who can afford to have the special chair will benefit from this study. VIII. Reviewers conclusion/commentary

IX. Evaluating Nursing Practice 1. Safety The intervention is safe for patients with cerebral palsy. Cushions and footplate were added to the specialized chair for the patients safety and also, professionals with seating expertise, such as an occupational therapist were
included in the intervention.

2. Competence of the care provider The intervention included professionals with seating expertise, such as an occupational therapist. Moreover, other professional members of the AAC
team (e.g., speechlanguage pathologists) require basic knowledge of seating to address simple issues for people with mild motor impairments and to identify the need for expert involvement for those with greater impairments. Vigilance in ensuring a functional seated position were accomplished through regular seating analyses and modifications as demonstrated in this study and education of the individual, his or her family, and caregivers.

3. Acceptability 4. Effectiveness

5. Appropriateness The study is appropriate for helping children with cerebral palsy wherein their upper extremity functions are limited because of their condition. Especially for the said participant who is quadriplegic and has compromised motor functions, the intervention helps on promoting upper-extremity movement through simple modifications to the participants
typical seating.

6. Efficiency The intervention was efficacious in improving the upper extremity functions for a child with cerebral palsy. 7. Accessibility The study used a special chair designed to support the body of a patient with cerebral palsy. Putting the patient in the specified position is not enough but it needs support to sustain the said position for a longer time. This is the reason why the study is not that applicable especially those people who dont have enough resources to avail the specialized chair.
