lymphatic system is also active in circulation in those parts where blood is not present such as epithelial part of our skin.
The lymphatic system is responsible for the removal of interstitial fluid from tissues. It absorbs and transports fatty acids and fats as chyle from the . It transports white blood cells to and from the lymph nodes into the bones.
Explain how this database and the data is used for nursing practice and patient care. Evaluate the benefits and challenges of using the database system and the data.PLEASE READ ALL INFORMATION AND INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE BEGINNING TO GET A BETTER IDEA OF PAPER!
TO PREPARE:
Every day, nurses and other health care practitioners are challenged with managing large quantities of data and information. Unless this data and information can be translated into knowledge, it will have little meaningful value. Databases and data management techniques, if designed effectively, present health care organizations with the means to quickly and effectively transform data into useful knowledge. The ability to rapidly and accurately transform data into useable knowledge allows health care practitioners to make informed decisions on patient care.
•Select a database system that you encounter at work or with which you are familiar.(AT MY FACILTITY WE USE A DATABASE SYSTEM CALLED “COMPUTERIZED PATIENT RECORD SYSTEM CPRS THIS CAN BE GOOGLED) What data points are captured and used by nurses? (I AM A NURSE WE CAN USE ALMOST ALL INFORMATION FOR PATIENT CARE IE: LAB RESULTS, PAST MEDICAL HISTROY, PLAN BY DOCTORS, PLANS BY SOCIAL WORKERS, PAST NOTES FROM LAST VISITS, SURGERIES, ALLERGIES TO NAME A FEW)
•Consider the kind of data collected and the different elements of that data.
•Ask yourself: How is information in this database used for nursing practice and patient care? What benefits does the database system provide? What are the challenges of using the system?
DIRECTIONS:
WRITE a description of the system you selected and the types of data that are stored in the system. Explain how this database and the data is used for nursing practice and patient care. Evaluate the benefits and challenges of using the database system and the data.
Quantitative and qualitative research methods are both used in nursing research. Both methodologies complement each other because they are based on different ideologies that are useful in nursing practice.
Quantitative research is a formal, objective, rigorous, systematic process for generating numerical information about the world. Quantitative research is conducted to describe new situations, events, or concepts; examine relationships among variables; and determine the effectiveness of treatments or interventions on selected health outcomes in the world. (Grove, Gray, & Burns, 2015).
Advantages
allow for a broader study, involving a greater number of subjects, and enhancing the generalisation of the resultscan allow for greater objectivity and accuracy of results. Generally, quantitative methods are designed to provide summaries of data that support generalisations about the phenomenon under study. In order to accomplish this, quantitative research usually involves few variables and many cases, and employs prescribed procedures to ensure validity and reliabilityusing standards means that the research can be replicated, and then analyzed and compared with similar studies. Quantitative methods allow us to summarize vast sources of information and facilitate comparisons across categories and over timepersonal bias can be avoided by researchers keeping a ‘distance’ from participating subjects and employing subjects unknown to themDisadvantages
collect a much narrower and sometimes superficial dataset results are limited as they provide numerical descriptions rather than detailed narrative and generally provide less elaborate accounts of human perceptionthe research is often carried out in an unnatural, artificial environment so that a level of control can be applied to the exercise. This level of control might not normally be in place in the real world yielding laboratory results as opposed to real world resultsin addition preset answers will not necessarily reflect how people really feel about a subject and in some cases might just be the closest match.the development of standard questions by researchers can lead to ‘structural’ bias and false representation, where the data actually reflects the view of them instead of the participating subject.Example is a quantitative assessment of patient and nurse outcomes of bedside nursing report implementation (Sand-Jecklin, & Sherman, 2014)
Qualitative research is a systematic, subjective approach used to describe life experiences and
Situations and give them meaning, this research methodology evolved from the behavioral and social sciences as a method of understanding the unique, dynamic, holistic nature of humans (Grove, Gray, & Burns, 2015).
Advantages
Provides depth and detail: looks deeper than analyzing ranks and counts by recording attitudes, feelings and behaviorsCreates openness: encouraging people to expand on their responses can open up new topic areas not initially consideredSimulates people’s individual experiences:a detailed picture can be built up about why people act in certain ways and their feelings about these actionsAttempts to avoid pre-judgements:if used alongside quantitative data collection, it can explain why a particular response was givenDisadvantages
Usually fewer people studied: collection of qualitative data is generally more time consuming that quantitative data collection and therefore unless time, staff and budget allows it is generally necessary to include a smaller sample size.Less easy to generalize: because fewer people are generally studied it is not possible to generalize results to that of the population. Usually exact numbers are reported rather than percentages.Difficult to make systematic comparisons: for example, if people give widely differing responses that are highly subjective.Dependent on skills of the researcher: particularly in the case of conducting interviews, focus groups and observation.Example is a qualitative study of nursing student experiences of clinical practice(Sharif & Masoumi 2005)
AACN Competencies and the Walden Mission, Vision, and Outcomes

Peer review in nursing: principles for successful practicePenny HigginsANA-Maine Journal.10.1 (Winter 2014): p4.Copyright:COPYRIGHT 2014 Arthur L. Davis Publishing Agencyhttp://www.anamaine.org/ListenLarger documents may require additional load time.HelpAn error has occurred, try again[?]Full Text:Peer review in nursing: principles for successful practice
By Barbara Haag-Heitman PhD, RN and Vicki George, PhD, RNWhile supervisory evaluation and self-evaluation have long been a part of nursing practice, it has been more difficult for individuals to consistently use peer evaluation.
“More than 20 years have passed since the first publication of nursing guidelines for peer review, yet no organization has demonstrated full implementation of the guidelines,” writes Barbara Haag-Heitman and Vicki George in Peer Review in Nursing: Principles for Successful Practice. The authors first briefly trace the history of professionalism innursing, and cite peer review as a necessary step in this process as it relates to personal growth and ethical standards and responsibility to the public. They proceed to identify the need for relevant tools and subsequent research to effectively improve nursing practice and confirm nursing as a profession. The American Nurses Association (ANA) has, since its inception, been a standard-setter in professional and ethical standards; and, although other organizations and individuals have made valuable contributions, consistent usage continues to elude us.
After first making the reasons for peer evaluation clear, Haag-Heitman and George proceed with defining steps to bring about a change in practice to ease the transition to the routine use of these steps. Using a clear conceptual model, they describe peer review processes that could be adapted within shared governance structures and the guiding principles and educational processes necessary to introduce the process to all areas. Peer review education includes not only the bare facts, but rationales, new models of leadership and, often, interdisciplinary care of our patients. Also included is the need for peer and self-evaluation for those in more independent practice.
Once the authors have made their introduction and clearly defined a model and format for change, they go on to include specific examples of formats for change that are already in View the Answer use. Some are based upon the ANA 1988 guidelines that were revised in 2009, others are specific descriptions of certain hospitals that have developed their own programs. Some identify approaches used as well as tools developed during the introduction of a systematic peer review. The Magnet Program format is followed throughout.
Space does not allow for extensive examples, but one focuses on the Illinois Decatur Memorial Hospital Nursing Department policy regarding peer review. The policy sets forth definitions of basic competency, advanced competency and certification/licensure.
The competency process is delineated, with instructions for use. This is followed by the specific examples of Medication Reconciliation and Fall Prevention with descriptions of each step. A tool for each set of skills is included. It is a clear and useful example.
Based upon professional principles and reasoning, the authors offer ideas that are acceptable to individual nurses, hospitals and nursing departments in the growth of professional responsibility through a systematic peer review process. This book offers practical guidelines for this important subject–guidelines that are applicable in any setting.
