Theoretical Foundations of Nursing Practice

17.8K
Theories play an essential role in organizing patient care. Theories refer to a proposed or followed belief, policy, or procedure that is the basis for action. Nursing theories are knowledge-based concepts that guide nurses' actions, influence nursing education and practice, and allow nurses to care for their patients.
Theories provide a perspective to assess patients' conditions and organize data and methods. They also assist in analyzing and interpreting information. They represent a...

Characteristics of Practical Op Amps

872
A difference amplifier, a crucial component in numerous electronic devices, ideally amplifies only the difference-mode signal, which is the difference between two input signals. However, in practical circuits, the output voltage depends on both the differential gain and the common-mode gain.
The ratio of differential gain to the common-mode gain is defined as the common-mode rejection ratio (CMRR). This ratio quantifies the ability of operational amplifiers (op-amps) to reject common-mode...

Equivalent Circuits for Practical Transformers

1.4K
The practical equivalent circuits of single-phase two-winding transformers exhibit significant deviations from their idealized versions due to the inherent properties of winding resistance and finite core permeability. These properties result in real and reactive power losses, affecting the transformer's performance. Understanding these deviations is crucial for designing more efficient transformers.
In a practical transformer, each winding exhibits resistance and leakage reactance. The...

The Evidence for Evolution

48.4K
Genetic variations accumulating within populations over generations give rise to biological evolution. Evolutionary changes can result in the formation of novel varieties and entire new species. These changes are responsible for the diverse forms of life inhabiting the planet. The evidence for evolution suggests that all living organisms descended from common ancestors.

Lung Capacity01:47

Lung Capacity

56.4K
The air in the lungs is measured in volumes and capacities. Lung volume measures reflect the amount of air taken in, released, or left over after a lung function, like a single inhalation. Lung capacity measures are sums of two or more lung volume measures.

Understanding the Self01:28

Understanding the Self

324
The self is a central aspect of human identity, encompassing an individual’s beliefs, emotions, perceptions, and experiences. It is a cognitive and psychological construct that enables individuals to interpret their traits and behaviors, influencing how they perceive themselves and interact with the world. While personality consists of stable and enduring characteristics, the self is shaped by self-perception and social experiences. This distinction highlights the dynamic nature of the...

Summary

Licensed Practical Nurses (LPNs) in Canada prioritize client information over research journals for evidence-based practice (EBP). Tailored workplace education, like in-services and webinars, is recommended to improve EBP knowledge dissemination.

Area of Science:

  • Nursing
  • Evidence-Based Practice
  • Health Sciences

Background:

  • Canadian nurses must use evidence-based practice (EBP) as an entry-level competency.
  • Limited research exists on how Licensed Practical Nurses (LPNs) seek information for EBP.
  • Understanding LPNs' knowledge sourcing is crucial due to their distinct roles from Registered Nurses (RNs).

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the knowledge sourcing behaviors of LPNs in their nursing practice.
  • To identify preferred sources of information used by LPNs for EBP.

Main Methods:

  • A descriptive, cross-sectional survey was conducted with LPNs in Alberta, Canada.
  • Participants ranked their sources of knowledge for practice.
  • Data were analyzed for correlations with age, years of practice, and place of employment.

Main Results:

  • LPNs and RNs utilize similar knowledge sources.
  • The primary source of knowledge for both LPNs and RNs is individual client information.
  • Journal articles, tradition, and popular media are the least used knowledge sources.

Conclusions:

  • Few LPNs access nursing and research journals for EBP.
  • EBP education should be tailored to the workplace context for LPNs.
  • In-services and webinars may be effective methods for disseminating EBP information and skills to LPNs.
