Methods of Documentation II: POMR

1.5K
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.

Nursing Process for Patient and Caregiver Teaching I: Assessment and Diagnosis

2.4K
The nursing process provides a clinical decision-making framework for patients and families to establish and implement a personalized care plan. Since part of the nurse's duties is to teach patients, the steps of the nursing process are the most effective way to approach instruction. The nursing process and the teaching-learning process are inextricably linked.
It is critical to determine the patient's learning needs during the assessment. Determination of learning needs compounds data...

The Scientific Method in Nursing Process

12.1K
The scientific method provides the foundation for any research. It is the most reliable and objective of all forms of gaining knowledge and guides in applying research-based evidence in practice and conducting future research.
When using research findings to change practice, one must understand the process used to guide a study. The scientific method is a systematic, step-by-step process that supports the data's validity, reliability, and generalizability. As a result, findings can be...

Preclinical Development: Overview

4.8K
Preclinical development consists of a series of tests that ensure the safety and efficacy of a new therapeutic compound before it is tested in humans. There are four main phases to this process. First, safety pharmacology tests are conducted to ensure the drug does not produce any acutely harmful effects. These tests examine parameters such as bronchoconstriction, cardiac dysrhythmias, blood pressure changes, and ataxia. Next, preliminary toxicological testing is performed to determine the...

The Scientific Method

57.2K
Research is what makes the difference between facts and opinions. Facts are observable realities, and opinions are personal judgments, conclusions, or attitudes that may or may not be accurate. In the scientific community, facts can be established only using evidence collected through empirical research.

Area of Science:

  • Medical Education
  • Curriculum Development
  • Pedagogy

Background:

  • Problem-based learning (PBL) is increasingly adopted in medical education.
  • Existing literature reviews on PBL present conflicting conclusions regarding its effectiveness.
  • There is a need for a comprehensive analysis of PBL's impact.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate problem-based learning (PBL) against its original objectives.
  • To synthesize current knowledge on the mechanisms of PBL.
  • To compare PBL with conventional curricula in a neutral framework.

Main Methods:

  • Analysis of existing research evidence on problem-based learning (PBL).
  • Examination of PBL's alignment with its stated goals.
  • Goal-free comparison of PBL with traditional teaching methods.

Main Results:

  • The effectiveness of PBL is debated, with varied outcomes across different implementations.
  • Understanding how PBL functions requires further investigation.
  • Direct comparisons with conventional curricula reveal inconsistencies in evidence.

Conclusions:

  • More research is required to clarify the specific benefits of PBL.
  • Investigating long-term outcomes and knowledge retention in PBL is crucial.
  • Differentiating PBL's effects from other curricular elements is essential for accurate assessment.
