Boxplot01:12

Boxplot

14.1K
Box plots (also called box-and-whisker plots or box-whisker plots) give an excellent graphical image of the concentration of the data. They also show how far the extreme values are from most data. A box plot is constructed from five values: the minimum value, the first quartile, the median, the third quartile, and the maximum value. We use these values to compare how close other data values are to them. To construct a box plot, use a horizontal or vertical number line and a rectangular box. The...

Modified Boxplots

11.3K
A standard box and whisker plot informs us about the spread of the data in a given sample. One can identify the minimum value, maximum value, first quartile value, second quartile or median value, and third quartile.
However, the box plot does not tell the reader about outliers - values that lie far from the center of the data. We can modify the standard box and whisker plot to identify the outliers and visualize the actual spread of the data in a sample.
Initially, we calculate the adjusted...

Soundness of Cement01:17

Soundness of Cement

594
The soundness of cement refers to the ability of cement paste to retain its volume after setting. Unsound cement can lead to expansion and structural damage due to the presence of free lime, magnesia, and calcium sulfate. Free lime hydrates very slowly, expanding and causing unsoundness, which is difficult to detect because it intercrystallizes with other compounds. Magnesia also reacts with water, forming crystals that can disrupt the cement's structure. Calcium sulfate can create...

Rocket Propulsion in Empty Space - I01:13

Rocket Propulsion in Empty Space - I

3.8K
The driving force for the motion of any vehicle is friction, but in the case of rocket propulsion in space, the friction force is not present. The motion of a rocket changes its velocity (and hence its momentum) by ejecting burned fuel gases, thus causing it to accelerate in the direction opposite to the velocity of the ejected fuel. In this situation, the mass and velocity of the rocket constantly change along with the total mass of ejected gases. Due to conservation of momentum, the...

pH Scale02:41

pH Scale

80.7K
Hydronium and hydroxide ions are present both in pure water and in all aqueous solutions, and their concentrations are inversely proportional as determined by the ion product of water (Kw). The concentrations of these ions in a solution are often critical determinants of the solution’s properties and the chemical behaviors of its other solutes. Two different solutions can differ in their hydronium or hydroxide ion concentrations by a million, billion, or even trillion times. A common means of...

Excess Pressure Inside a Drop and a Bubble01:13

Excess Pressure Inside a Drop and a Bubble

3.6K
The shape of a small drop of liquid can be considered spherical, neglecting the effect of gravity. This drop can further be considered as two equal hemispherical drops put together due to surface tension. The forces acting on the spherical drop are due to the pressure of the liquid inside the drop, the pressure due to air outside the drop, and the force due to the surface tension acting on the two hemispherical drops.

Summary

Nurses can better navigate professional changes by developing critical thinking skills. Enhancing control over the change process transforms challenges into opportunities for nursing practice.

Area of Science:

  • Nursing
  • Healthcare Management
  • Professional Development

Background:

  • Change is an inherent aspect of professional nursing practice.
  • The perception of change (crisis vs. opportunity) is linked to perceived control over the change process.
  • Understanding the determinants and impact of change is crucial for nurses.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To outline the determinants of change in nursing.
  • To examine the impact of change on nursing practice.
  • To explore professional ways of knowing and propose critical thinking as a strategy for managing change.
  • To illustrate a curriculum approach for developing critical thinking in nurses.

Main Methods:

  • Literature review on change management in nursing.
Keywords:
