My revised philosophy of nursing combines a bit of every single theorist. I enjoyed learning how scholars viewed nursing and tailored it to apply it to my practice. First off, I have never agreed with dictionary definitions that reduce nursing to caring for the sick and ill because inadvertently they reduce my patients to their mental or physical status.

In addition to cognitively distorting the severity and consequences of the stressor, predisposed youth may also experience difficulties finding solutions to the…
The little things that allow for differentiation between twins and siblings fall to individual genes that play the role of personalization in humans and result in unique coloring or patterning in animals. While this is taking place on the micro level the macro evolutionary changes are being handled by HOX genes the master organizers themselves. On the macro level changes to the…
technology at that time seemed appropriate, the treatment that these individuals received was subpar. The clinicians showed little eagerness to go above and beyond and treated the patients as if every one of them was the same. The patients received no personalization in their care and therefore, I felt that they were not receiving the type of commitment that I would expect from the clinicians. There was clearly a lack of care for this underserved community. The treatment of these patients was…

Motivation Measure Measurement scales are generally used in business research to measure conduct, understanding, and attitudes. There is a correlation between attitudes and conduct. The selection of a measurement scale requires the reflection of several factors such as objectives, response type, amount of scale points, etc. (Cooper & Schindler, 2014). A good example of a measurement scale is Motivation Measure. In this assignment we will be examining the questions asked in Motivation Measure. We…
