Summary
Nursing students developed critical thinking skills by identifying policy issues during critical-care rotations. This experience fostered understanding of evidence-based practice and research, enabling them to submit abstracts.
Area of Science:
- Nursing Education
- Critical Care Medicine
- Evidence-Based Practice
Background:
- Critical-care nurses significantly influence nursing students' professional development.
- Nursing education must integrate clinical practice with research and policy awareness.
- Baccalaureate nursing students require exposure to real-world clinical and professional issues.
Purpose of the Study:
- To assess the impact of critical-care rotations on nursing students' understanding of evidence-based practice.
- To evaluate the effectiveness of integrating policy identification into nursing curricula.
- To encourage nursing students to engage with research and professional issues through abstract submission.
Main Methods:
- Baccalaureate nursing students participated in a critical-care nursing rotation.
- Students identified a clinical policy requiring revision or creation.
- Evidence-based practice principles were applied to policy analysis within a research and issues course.
Main Results:
- Students successfully identified relevant clinical policies for revision or creation.
- The integration of clinical issues enhanced students' understanding of evidence-based practice.
- Students were prepared and motivated to answer a call for research abstracts.
Conclusions:
- Critical-care rotations provide a valuable platform for nursing students to learn evidence-based practice.
- Integrating clinical policy work into nursing education strengthens research and professional development.
- This approach effectively prepares nursing students for scholarly activities like abstract submission.

01:11Guidelines for Writing Outcome
When developing expected outcomes for a patient care plan, the nurse should adhere to the following recommendations:
Patient outcomes reflect the patient's response to the goal rather than what the nurse aims to achieve. Terminology should be observable and measurable to avoid the reader's interpretation. The desired outcome should be realistic and achievable in the designated care timeframe. Expected outcomes should align with adjunctive therapies. The outcome should enhance care evaluation by...

01:43Proofreading
Synthesis of new DNA molecules starts when DNA polymerase links nucleotides together in a sequence that is complementary to the template DNA strand. DNA polymerase has a higher affinity for the correct base to ensure fidelity in DNA replication. The DNA polymerase furthermore proofreads during replication, using an exonuclease domain that cuts off incorrect nucleotides from the nascent DNA strand.Errors during Replication Are Corrected by the DNA Polymerase EnzymeGenomic DNA is synthesized in...

01:31Proofreading
Synthesis of new DNA molecules is carried out by the enzyme DNA polymerase, which adds nucleotides on the daughter strand complementary to the template DNA strand. DNA polymerase has a higher affinity to add the correct base and ensures fidelity during DNA replication. Furthermore, it exhibits proofreading activity during replication, using an exonuclease domain that cuts off incorrect nucleotides from the nascent DNA strand.

02:34Competition
When organisms require the same limited resources within an environment, they may have to compete for them. Competition is a net-negative interaction. Even if two competing individuals or populations do not interact directly, the overall fitness of both competitors is lowered as a result of not having full access to the limited resource.Intraspecific competition, which occurs between individuals of the same species, serves as a natural mechanism for regulating population size. Too much...
01:19Contact-dependent Signaling
Contact-dependent signaling, as the name suggests, requires that communicating cells be in direct contact with each other. This is achieved either through receptor-ligand interactions or by specialized cytoplasmic channels that allow the flow of small molecules between cells. In animal cells, channels called gap junctions facilitate contact-dependent signaling in certain tissues, whereas, plasmodesmata perform a similar function in plants.
