article by Alta Charo titled, “Body of research- Ownership and Use of Human Tissue” she states that there are two key questions that researchers need to focus on that is: First, could a 1-time general consent to all future research be used? It is not clear if this type of consent would comport with Health Insurance Portability and Accountability. The HIPAA requires specific information for use of the patient's protected health information in research, unless the IRB has made a specific…

Overview Research is important to the professional nurse’s practice; this fact is substantiated in numerous textbooks, websites, and articles. Nurses are challenged to provide the highest quality care for their patients on a daily basis; the processes and tools of evidence-based practice can help nurses respond to these challenges (Prevost, 2014, p. 20). Kearney-Nunnery (2012) posits that involvement in research in any form adds to our knowledge base, enhances our practice, promotes improved…

Type of Quantitative Research Question I would use a comparative research question and an experimental design for my research study. I would use a comparative research question because I am comparing two different groups and have only one dependent variable. I would use a true experimental design because I am using one control group and one experimental group. My research question is how does receiving subcutaneous injections of insulin compare to receiving insulin through an insulin pump in…

BC, animals have been used to develop life-saving medical treatments, analyze certain medications, ensure the safety of products intended for human use, and various other biomedical uses. Animal testing has allowed humans to extensively develop numerous treatments as well as medications, and is essential towards the advancement of modern medicine. Despite this, in recent years (that is, relative to the existence of animal testing), such research has received significant amounts of criticism,…

and the ethical principles that support the human subject’s rights in the research study. This document consists of two historical unethical studies that had impact in U.S. history. In addition, this paper provides information explaining how the issues are currently addressed in research and potential/ real impact on the subjects and the researchers. Overall, this paper addresses the significant changes in biomedical research that focused on protecting unethical issues and to respect the human…

The first op/ed written by Rosecrans Baldwin suggests having boredom can be a valuable experience. The second op/ed is written by David B. Agus who claims that keeping patients’ records electronically can improve future medical treatment. The last op/ed by Jeffrey H. Tony discusses about whether using antibiotics in agriculture industry would result in antibiotic resistance of humans. All three articles are from people who have significant authority in writing. Baldwin is a writer, and the other…

Perceived Awareness of the Research Hypothesis Scale (PARH). The parameters of the current study provoke a number of variables to consider. In that respect, one of the variables in the Hawthorne Effect is that the participant becomes aware of the researchers observing their behaviors and adapts their behaviors to satisfy the researcher. In disclosing my research to the participant, allowing the participant to be aware of the preinstalled application on her smartphone that would be recording data…

Through attending a neuroscience program called Camp Neuro at the New York Medical College and taking AP psychology, I have been able to apply my knowledge in myriad classes. My understanding of the biopsychosocial approach to psychology helps me analyze texts in English and moral situations in ethics. The interdisciplinary seminar Modes of Being would serve as a way to continue this intellectual exploration that I am already pursuing in conjunction with my major in psychology. I find that…

that the DNA sequence that it is intended for the medical practice can also when placed in the wrong hands be the stepping stone for building pathogens from scratch. Which in many ways all together might not be the intentions from the start, scientists need to account for such possibilities when such high precision information is released to the public. Especially in the case that intended to use weapons that meant to cause harm. This type of research is usually backed up by government, the…

The population used in this journal article is clearly described and involved the recruitment of registered nurses from a large academic medical center. Differences in fatigue levels have been demonstrated based on the RN’s years of experience (Barker and Nussbaum, 2011b). Nurses with more work experience may have a distinctive outlook and perspective on coping with fatigue versus a nurse with limited experience. Thus, RNs who were recruited involved nurses with less than two years of experience…
