Nurse asked open questions which daughter could respond to, the nurse gained consent by asking patient if she was ok to be questioned prior to admission. Informed consent of her daughter presence as she came in with her and was is holding hands.
A baby averages 5 diapers per day for 30 months. About 90% of mothers use disposable diapers. This number of mothers using disposable diapers is expected to fall about .5% annually over the next 3 years. Number of US Births 2006 3,959,400 2007 4,058,800 2008 4,025,900 2009 4,021,700 2010 4,089,950 P&G’s focus group research in Cincinnati and Topeka suggests that 15% of mothers using disposable diapers would try Sesame Street Pampers. Sesame Street Pampers are expected to sell on the premium end of the market.
The first career we will be looking at is Midwifery. If you have no previous experience working in healthcare, you will have to do a three or four year degree course that leads to registration with the Nursing and Midwifery Council (NMC). The training covers biological sciences, applied sociology, psychology and professional practice. Study hours tend to be split equally between theory at a university and hands-on clinical practice. During the practical part of the course you will have direct contact with women and their families in hospitals, community clinics and in their homes.
The purposive sampling strategy was chosen to maximize demonstration of participants by geographical location and race. The majority of participants were spouses and daughter/daughter-in-laws who were well educated, not employed, and white. Researchers met with groups of caregivers in the Chicago metropolitan area in addition to two rural areas (Farran, Loukissa, Perraud, Paun, 2004). During the interventions, they met after the first six months then again six months after. Each of these group meetings lasted 2.5-hours.
Five-hundred-and-seventy-two of 894 women (64%) completed the second questionnaire. Forty-two of 179 symptomatic women (23%) took part in an interview. Findings: 55% of women received some form of instruction in pelvic £oor exercises by 34 weeks of pregnancy. Eighty-six per cent received instruction following birth.The way the information was given varied, ranging from a brief reminder, to exercising in a class with an instructor.The information was provided by a range of health professionals, and no single profession appeared to undertake responsibility for the service. As a result, the views of the service varied.
It basically consists of five steps. Originally, Ms. Orlando had four, but through practical revisions over the past 40 years, one step divided into two and now there are five. Here are the five steps: • Assessment • Diagnosis • Planning • Implementation • Evaluation Clinical Reasoned Judgment and the Nursing Process Introduction: Every student who enters a nursing program in the United States is taught the nursing process during the first semester. The nursing process is a conceptual framework that enables the student or the practicing nurse to think systematically and process pertinent information about the patient. This article states there are six steps of the nursing process, which are like a container with six chambers that are constant, six way interactions with one another.
Role Transitions of Registered Nurses: A Literature Review Joshua ÓFloinn RN, CCRN Fort Hays State University A literature search for articles that specifically address the transition between nursing practice with the associate degree to practice with the bachelor degree did not produce many results. I did find one interesting article, titled “There really is a difference: Nurses’ experiences transitioning from RNs to BSNs.” The authors utilized descriptive phenomenology to “explore and describe nurses’ experiences with their transition as RNs to BSN’s from the participants’ perspectives” (Delaney & Piscopo, 2007, p.169). This was accomplished by interviewing 12 nurses who had completed RN to BSN programs 4 months to 5 years prior to the study. The transcripts of the interviews were reviewed for significant statements, which were “transposed into formulated meanings and later collapsed into theme clusters” (Delaney & Piscopo, 2007, p.169). The role transition experiences of the nurses were distilled into eight major themes: love of learning as a primary motivator for pursuing the BSN, a tentative beginning to the RN to BSN coursework, knowledge growth fueled particularly by research and leadership coursework, empowerment resulting from a shift in perspective prompted by knowledge growth, leadership and advocacy skills manifesting from empowerment, realization of the ability to confront and conquer challenges despite adversity, consciousness of the larger context surrounding their nursing practice, and an awareness of a difference in the way they approach patient care (Delaney & Piscopo, 2007).
Critical Analysis of Quantitative Study Titled “Quantitative Bone Ultrasound Measurements in Young Females 14-23 Years of Age” Grand Canyon University NRS 433V – Introduction to Nursing Research Research Critique Part 2: Critical Analysis of Quantitative Study Titled “Quantitative Bone Ultrasound Measurements in Young Females 14 – 23 Years of Age” Panagiota Klentrou and Izabella Ludwa; two Canadian researchers from Brock University, Ontario conducted a study (the study) to examine how the peripheral Quantitative Ultrasound (QUS) measurements differs in young females of ages 14 to 23 and if their body composition and behavioral factors of physical activity, Oral Contraceptive (OC) use, and calcium intake influence the QUS measurements. This is a critical analysis of the research article published in the Journal of Women’s Health in May 2011(Klentrou & Ludwa, 2011). This author intends to analyze the study in four distinct criteria: (a) Protection of Human Participants of the study; (b) Data Collection; (c) Data Management and Analysis; and Study Findings and its Interpretations. Protection of Human Participants The National Commission for the Protection of Human Subjects of Biomedical and Behavioral Research guidelines – commonly called ‘the Belmont Report’ - are the standards that researchers follow worldwide to comply with ethical principles governing protection of humans subjected to medical research (Belmont Report. 1979).
Our research findings showed that maternal education level in the district is low as 75% of mothers had never attended school. Mothers of primary, JHS/Middle school and SHS background formed 10.5%, 6.0% and 4.0% respectively of our sampled mothers. Tertiary education and informal education formed 1.0% and 3.5% respectively of the population of our study mothers. Malnutrition situation in children (0-48 months) was found to be high as 39.0% for underweight and 57.5% for stunting whilst 11.5% were found to be wasted. Mothers in the district were noticed to have access to nutritional information and health personnel were also acclaimed to be the major source through which this information is distributed.
For my PhD which is ongoing, I am exploring the concept of safe motherhood as experienced and understood by women, midwives, and traditional birth attendants in Southeast Nigeria. Abstract Background and context: The current global estimates for maternal deaths (MDs) by the World Health Organisation indicate that approximately 350,000 women die each year. Whilst 99% of cases occur in poorly-resourced countries, 10% take place in Nigeria alone. The global safe motherhood initiative (SMI), launched in 1987 by the UN agencies, aimed to reduce the number of pregnancy-related deaths by half by the year 2000. The number at that time was 529,000.
