A short literature review is included in the background section of the article, and it is relevant to the study. It provides information about the expenses related to readmission and the need of developing the interventions to reduce readmission rates. Poor communication, gaps in follow-up care, discharging patients with pending tests results, and inadequate patient education and discharge instructions have impacted the readmission rate. However, the authors of the article did not include any information about previous studies regarding the benefits of the NP’s involvement in patient care.

According to LoBiondo-Wood and Haber (2014), the situation specific theories “are narrow in scope, explain a small aspect of phenomena and processes of interest to nurses, and are usually limited to specific populations or field of practice (p. 82). The research and practice are closely connected in the situation-specific theory. In addition, I think that it would be appropriate to apply a broader framework to this presented article such as the Promoting Action on Research Implementation in Health Services Framework (PARIHS). The theory of the PARIHS framework is that the success of evidence implementation depends on three necessary elements: evidence, context, and facilitation. Ullrich, Sahay, and Stetler (2014) stated that “successful implementation is most likely to occur when (a) scientific evidence is viewed as aligning with professional and patient beliefs, (b) healthcare context is receptive to implementation, including supportive leadership, culture and evaluation systems, and (c) mechanisms are in place to facilitate implementation” (p.
