problem solving in that research is a systematic process by which new knowledge is discovered through the gathering of data and information from different sources(Fain, 2013). In addition, research is also done to support knowledge that already exists based on a theory to build on or improve the information that already exists. This can be knowledge that is directly applied to our practice or knowledge that needs further validation before application (Fitzpatrick, 2016). On the other hand,…

Introduction: It is commonly known that patients, particularly the older patient population, decondition rapidly while admitted inpatient to the hospital. This is a result of multiple factors including lack of mobility and disease processes. In the ICU, patients are especially at risk due to the critical nature of their adverse health event and the stress it causes their body. When that patient is intubated and sedated, the toll their hospital stay has on their body worsens. While today many…

WAD stands for whiplash associated disorder. WAD is a neck injury resulting from rapid acceleration followed by deceleration, and is commonly caused by traffic accidents. The actual pathology is a bit abstruse and lacks a thorough understanding, because the exact cause of the symptoms are controversial. WAD symptoms are subjective, yet highly prevalent.1 Although the pathology is controversial, there are four widely used grades of classification developed by the Quebec Task Force.2…

1. Introduction Issues of evolution and gender were popularized through the nineteenth-century feminists, followed by the debate of “women question”: what roles should women be afforded in Anglo-American society? (Montgomery 2012). Darwin’s Descent of Man, and Selection in Relation (1871) was significantly influenced by the social discussion on evolution and gender in the Age of Victoria, and the theory of sexual selection originated from the book is widely employed by both antifeminists and…

population in 1990 to 42 percent in 1997 (Saeed SA, 2007 Aug 15).” Kava has been the most popular CAM with the effectiveness being based on multiple RCTs. It has been safely used in clinical trials on a short term basis. “A Cochrane systematic review identified 12 RCTs of effects of kava on patients with GAD; the meta-analysis included seven trials that met quality criteria (n = 380);…

Lord of the Flies One may believe that William Golding’s Lord of the Flies could be based off of the English philosopher Thomas Hobbes who believed that human nature is essentially evil and that government, laws, and rules are necessary to protect humans from lapsing into society. You then can see how the slaughters, accomplished or planned of Simon, Piggy, and Ralph In Golding’s Lord of the Flies proves that the further humans wander from society’s rule the more uncivil savage like they…

Hospital. This experience was my first encounter with the world of research and evidence-based process. I was intrigued considering that it was uncharted territory and was ecstatic when I learned that I had become a published author in 2012 because of my contributions to the project. This pleasant feeling was ignited once more when I began taking this research class, and as a result, my knowledge of evidence-based research has improved tremendously.…

Methodology: The inquiry begins with the term Tai Chi, and 506,657 articles were initially produced. A scanning of several databases were implemented and included the following; PubMed, Medline, The Cumulative Index of Nursing and Allied Health Literature (CINAHL), COCHRANE database with Systemic Reviews, and the National Guidelines Clearinghouse, and the American Health Reseach Quality (AHRQ). A brief scanning of these databases were done and viewed for medical practices that were associated…

The first report that is going to be discussed in this section is a systemic review. The objectives of the systemic review were to look at the effects of aromatherapy for pain management (Smith et al., 2011). There were three hypotheses that were presented in this systematic review. The hypothesis are as stated by Smith, Collins, and Crowther (2011) “(1) An effective means of pain management in labour as measured by decreases in women’s rating of labour pain: a reduced need for…

should provide to patients. In this essay I will be discussing what evidence is in the form of infection control in relation to the case study of Marjorie Templeton and how it is relevant to the care that is provided to her. The three main evidence based practices that I will be discussing are healthcare-associated infections (HAIs), intra venous infections in relation…
