In this assignment Aveyard (2010) defines critical appraisal as a structured process that scrutinises a piece of research, determining its strengths and weaknesses, thus enabling an unbiased literature review. Learning this skill is paramount to nurses, as Horsley et al (2011) suggests; that by having critical appraisal skills, it empowers nurses, by giving them a greater knowledge of research designs as well as assisting them to recognise the validity and relevance of the research and whether this should influence the care they give their patients. There are numerous appraisal tools available that have been developed to assist healthcare professionals to assess the applicability, validity and trustworthiness of a published research paper. In order to achieve an unbiased critical appraisal of the chosen article, two appraisal tools were compared, the Critical Appraisal Skill Programme (CASP) and Long et al (2002). The Long et al (2002) evaluation tool consists of six sections with 44 questions; it was found that this tool is extremely complex and very difficult to understand and therefore not suitable for critiquing the research paper.
Your poem needs to be at least sixteen lines. It does not have to rhyme, but it may.

You can use the binary system as a reference, where the available digit values are 0 and 1 and the first four digits are 1, 2, 4, and 8. The available digit values in a base 5 numbering system are 1s and 0s. But we only use 5 bits of the 8 bits on the binary system. For example, you are using 16 8 4 2 1 instead of 128 64 32 16 8 4 2 1. 4.
In this paper I will discuss the importance of a framework of praxis, it’s application to the APN, what influences the framework and employing the framework into context. Praxis Overview Praxis has been defined in a number of ways for different disciplines. For the discipline of nursing it has been described as the art of the coming together of science and practice and linking practice and theory (Kilpatrick, 2008). Praxis can arise at an individual or a group level. At the individual level it is recognizing and reflecting on an issue that restricts one’s abilities and experiences, then taking action to change the issue for themselves and others affected (Chinn & Kramer, 2011).
The purpose of this paper is to select and analyze one of the many nursing theories that exist. The focus of the theory and its history will be explored. In addition, the motivational factor behind the development of the theory and the creator’s philosophical beliefs and values will also be discussed. Then, concepts of the selected theory will be compared to the nursing metaparadigm. The nursing theory that will be discussed in this paper is the Interpersonal Relations theory, created by Hildegard E. Peplau.
200). “Grounded theory was used to illuminate the social and technical process of a multidisciplinary health care team and the members’ interactions in order to explain the subjective aspects of team-based care delivery and participating as an individual on the team” (Leach & Mayo, 2013, p. 200). A framework was developed from the study findings. This framework could guide future studies. Five categories were identified to be important when the RRT effectiveness is being described.

Works Cited entries begin at the left margin. The first line is not indented, but every subsequent line is indented ½ an inch or 5 spaces (one tab). Works Cited entries are listed alphabetically according to the author’s last name or the article title if there is no author. You need to consult A Writer’s Reference to see what types of information is needed for each type of source. For example, the information needed for an anthology (the Bedford text) is different than information needed for a book or web pages.
The methodology used will be described and the rationale for this choice. The recommended sampling, data collection and analysis will be discussed and an explanation of the approaches adopted. Trustworthiness and rigour of the study and ethical issues and considerations will be referred to within context of the proposal. Finally it will be concluded as to how the proposed piece of research would add to the knowledge of nurses and the benefit it would have on their practice as well as discussing the impact it could have on patient safety and the quality improvement of care. Literature review A literature review is undertaking to summarise all current literature on a selected topic.
Determine three patient safety issues that are being addressed by your health care organization. Identify the actions the organization is taking or identify three issues that you think need to be addressed by health care organizations. Make suggestion for actions to be taken. Support your responses with two peer-reviewed references. HLT 308V Week 4 DQ 2 The Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA), the Centers for Medicaid and Medicare Services (CMS), and The Joint Commission (TJC) have identified the necessity for health care organizations to have a risk management program to address infection control.
