Abstract:
Vascular access cannulation for dialysis staff is the most difficult obstacle to overcome during the orientation process and can remain a challenge throughout one's career in caring for patients with renal disease. Learning the "buttonhole technique" can make venipuncture more comfortable for the patient and can eliminate the fear of failure for the cannulator. Not only does it preserve the timeframe of the patient's access, but establishes a routine process for the dialysis facility to follow for successful cannulation.

01:14Steps in the Modeling Process
Albert Bandura's theory of observational learning identifies four critical processes: attention, retention, motor reproduction, and reinforcement or motivation.
Attention is the first necessary component for observational learning. It involves focusing on what the model is doing and saying. For example, if you decide to take a drawing class to enhance your skills, you need to pay close attention to the instructor's words and hand movements. The characteristics of the model significantly...
