Abstract:
The use of nursing float pools and resource teams is a strategy used to cope with variable or inadequate staffing. Though identified as a solution to staffing shortages, there is limited research to support their use. Little is known about how resource teams and float pools work, are structured, or their impact. Both allow for staffing flexibility; however, only resource teams appear to be designed with nurse competency and patient safety in mind.

The Problem-Oriented Medical Record (POMR) revolutionized medical record-keeping by introducing a systematic approach focusing on the patient's problems rather than merely listing symptoms. Dr. Lawrence Weed's introduction of this method in the 1960s marked a significant advancement in medical documentation. The POMR framework consists of four key components: the database, problem list, plan of care, and progress notes.
01:17Design Example: Analyzing Capacity Contours for Flood Risk Assessment
Flood risk assessment involves careful planning and analysis to ensure the safety of communities near water retention structures. Capacity contours are a vital tool in this process, as they illustrate the potential spread of water at specific levels in a given area. In the context of building a bund across a small valley, these contours play a critical role in evaluating the safety of nearby residential areas.In this example, the bund is intended to store stormwater in the valley. The engineers...
