Abstract

Ventilator-associated pneumonia (VAP) is an infection which often develops as a result of poor handling of mechanical ventilation. Such as, poor nursing practice in caring for patients with difficulty in breathing can lead to microorganisms entering patient’s body through a tube inserted especially via mouth and nose of the patient. When these microorganisms get into the respiratory system they cause lung infection which is referred to as ventilator-associated pneumonia (VAP). In preventing this infection, it is important that nurses adopt best practices to reduce the incidence of VAP and provide quality care that is aimed at improving the ...

Literature review

Section 1: Background
Context and rationale for research priorities
Lens handling intensifies the incidence of lens contamination. When lens are aseptically removed from the eye, they still have a high probability of harboring microorganisms. During storage, the frequency of positive microbial bioburden remains high than 50%. The presence or movement of microorganisms from the lens to the ocular surface is a route factor for contact lenses related microbial keratitis and inflammation. There is need to priotise research in this area because the results of the studies help people to understand the factors concomitant to infectious and inflammatory complications. When ...

Introduction and background

Depression is a global health problem but which can be contained using non-pharmacological and pharmacological approaches (Dhingra and Parle, 2011). It is the leading cause of mental disability in the whole world and it remains one of the most undertreated health issues in old age (Barry, et al, 2012).

According to Dhingra, in 2011, depression was the fourth most costly disease ...

Q1: For the chi-square test, independent t-test, ANOVA, repeated measures ANOVA, and correlation, describe the inferential statistics and what levels of measurement are needed.

Chi-square test: This inferential statistic can be used both as a baseline measure in determining the success of the randomization procedure in the sample assignment and in analyzing the sample attrition level during the study implementation between the baseline point and the study endpoint, which, in the Jemmott, Jemmott, and Fong (1998) study, experienced a small (below 10%) attrition over the period of 3 to 12 months. The level of measurement for the independent and dependent ...

I. Title
At a word count of 17 words, the title is rather long for an average title length. Moreover, it skipped on important information that will let the readers know the jurisdictional or geographical limit of the study by not mentioning “North Carolina” in the main title. However, it does encapsulate the main variable (“brain health knowledge”) and the principal aim “establish baseline information” and rationale (“interventions to promote adaptation and successful aging”) of the study. Although, the part of the rationale (“promote adaptation and successful aging”) provides a clear declaration of the content of the study, it increased ...

who have had an ischemic stroke

BACKGROUND

Prolonged lowering of a patient’s blood pressure after a stroke occurs has been observed to reduce the risk of recurrent stroke. Additionally, the inhibition of the renin-angiotensin system in with regard to high-risk patients has also managed to reduce the rate of subsequent cardio vascular events, which includes stroke related complications. However, the effect of lowering a patient’s blood pressure using a renin-angiotestin system inhibitor such as Telmisartan, soon after an ischemic stroke has occurred has not yet been clearly established.
According to previous research studies and statistics retrieved from WHO, stroke has been ...

Arguably, every individual and item has its own unique way of existence, whereby they perform their duties based on strong integration and bond to them. In this case, everything has some weakness that is understood at an individual level. When the integrative force and bonds are disrupted, the entire performance level will reduce. In an organization, departments co-exist dependency, and each department comprises diverse individuals. In the article, it is hypothesized that training and feedback in an organization improve the level of performance in various organizations. Hence, in order to bring out the impact advanced factors should be put into ...

Asthma Treatment

The research was undertaken to evaluate the safety and efficacy of three single doses of (R)-albuterol (levalbuterol) compared with a placebo and racemic albuterol in patients with asthma. Levalbuterol 1.25mg dose was used to compare with equal amounts of the R isomer in 2.50 mg standard dosage of racemic albuterol. Doses of 0.63 mg and 0.31 mg of Levalbuterol were also used in the study to represent one-half and one-third doses of (R)-albuterol 2.50 mg standard dose respectively

The research was double-blind, single dose ranging, five-way crossover study. The sample size was 20 patients with mild persistent to ...
