This same societal oppression that led to the feeling of inferiority, in the pre-civil rights time, was reproduced in Richard Wright’s novel…
I think that the findings of the presented study can be relevant to the nursing science. Palos (2014) states that “the science of nursing is a combination of performance, skills, knowledge, and attitudes” (p. 247). The results of the presented study show a possible improvement of the “performance” resulting in the lower readmission rate. In the discussion section of the presented article, the authors state that the previous study concluded that an addition of the NP in the process of transition…

This is thought to be because stimulating music causes an increase in motivation, arousal and perception of energy (Dalton & Behm, 2007)…
