power, and status" (Guth & Marsh, 2012, p. 179). Meaning that they must examine a situation objectively and through a lens that covers all points of view, which will help them to become "a member of one of the affected publics instead of the decision maker" (Guth & Marsh, 2012, p. 179). The second of these theories is to correct social injustice, in that, "the most disadvantaged publics in a situation should receive the most consideration" (Guth & Marsh, 2012, p. 179). When it comes to these…

Morrison, T. (2012). Qualitative analysis of central and midline care in the medical/surgical setting. Clinical Nurse Specialist, 26(6), 323-328. In 2012 a clinical nurse specialist from Naples Florida did a qualitative study that focused on nurses from a 400-600-bed community hospital with regards to CLABSI’s. The NCH Healthcare System Foundation funded to the cost of in-service production and telephone interviews (Morrison, T., 2012). The purpose of the study was to examine the experience and…

collections. (Walters, 2012) However, the current trend of shrinking library budgets has led to staff and collection budget cuts. With the increasing proliferation of publishing – especially electronic publishing – it is not possible for librarians to create fully comprehensive collections foreseeing patrons’ needs. (Weir, 2012, p. 41) Some academic libraries are using patron-driven acquisition (PDA) of electronic resources to develop relevant, “just-in-time” collections. (Dahl, 2012) The…

on their math and reading tests. A study by Howe, Lawlor, and Propper (2012) revealed that females showed the greatest differences in health and behaviors when measured against the mother’s educational status. Higher maternal education resulted in taller height and lower body mass index (Howe, 2012). Higher maternal education was associated with lower behavior problems. However, Howe, Lawlor, and Propper (2012) found that there was no difference between socioeconomic inequalities and…

as are men because historically women have not been given the same business opportunities as men (Gottschalk, 2012). Therefore, women do not commit as many white collar crimes as men due to lack of opportunity.…

in no need of God. The pursuit of wealth can easily lead to pride which contradicts the fundamental Christian belief of “Reality of God (Cafferky, 2012, p. 522).” This is because, as Cafferky mentions, “When the person pursuing wealth…believes that God has no effect on our ability to obtain wealth, that person is denying God’s existence (Cafferky, 2012, p. 527).” When a person relies on money rather than God makes money an idol and as it says in Exodus 20:3, “Thou shalt have no other gods before…

after fertilization (Simmons & Szedlmayer, 2012). However, it is not known whether this behaviour is territorialism or parental care (Simmons & Szedlmayer, 2012). Intriguingly the male not only chases other fish away but visits the female on the nest and is the only fish the female will allow near the eggs (Fig 3) (Simmons & Szedlmayer, 2012). While both males and females chase their chasing patterns are distinctly different (Simmons & Szedlmayer, 2012). Females only make short rapid attacks…

listening can help to learn about another’s culture. Active listening is necessary in order to extrapolate the necessary information regarding cultural customs, beliefs, and boundaries so a provider can accommodate patients accordingly (Drench et al., 2012). In the book, Dr. Alvord walked into an exam room to tend to a sick patient to find both the patient’s mother and grandmother beside her. Immediately, judging based on non-verbal cues and knowledge of cultural customs, Dr. Alvord knew that…

even higher, 13% and 30% respectively (Winner et al., 2012). In comparison, to short acting reversible contraceptives such as oral contraceptive pills, the patch, and the ring, LARCs are not user-dependent, which accounts for the lower failure rates (Winner et al., 2012). In countries such as France and the United Kingdom that have a higher rate of usage of LARCs, they have fewer unplanned pregnancies than the United States (Winner et al., 2012). Intrauterine devices are usually offered to women…

suicide (Sanders & Buchanan, 2012). The first nurse who speaks is an “active supporter,” her name is Karen (Sanders & Buchanan, 2012. p. 8). First she explains ‘The Commission on Assisted Dying’, what it includes and who it applies to (Sanders & Buchanan, 2012). It is about setting specific safeguards in place in terms of eligibility for assisted suicide (Sanders & Buchanan, 2012). Karen goes on to talk about three of her concerns around assisted dying (Sanders & Buchanan, 2012). The first being…
