Testing Water Quality01:14

Testing Water Quality

380
When the quality of water for concrete preparation is uncertain, its impact on the setting time of cement and compressive strength of mortar is assessed by comparison with de-ionized or distilled water benchmarks. American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM) C1602 requires the setting times to be within 90 minutes of the control, British Standard (BS) 3146:1980 allows a 30-minute variance in the initial setting, while British Standards European Norm (BS EN) 1008 specifies initial setting...

Survey Safety

380
Surveying near highways, rough terrain, or power lines involves significant risks. Working along highways is particularly dangerous and requires the use of warning signs and flagmen. It is safest to avoid working directly on roads and use offsets whenever possible. When highway work is unavoidable, it must follow all safety guidelines. Surveyors should wear bright clothing, such as orange reflective vests, to ensure visibility to motorists, coworkers, and hunters. In construction zones, wearing...

Household Wiring And Electrical Safety

1.6K
Companies that supply power to most modern households use three conductors, typically called a three-wire line. While one is neutral, the other two are both at 120 V but with opposite polarity, giving a voltage of 240 V between them. With a three-wire line, high-power appliances that require 240 V, such as electric stoves and clothes dryers, are linked between the two hot lines. 120 V appliances can be connected between the neutral and either of the hot lines. The neutral side, which is always...

Quality of Water01:19

Quality of Water

513
In concrete preparation, the quality of water is paramount as it affects the strength and durability of the concrete. Potable water is usually preferred; however, it must not have excessive sodium or potassium to prevent compromising the concrete's integrity. Water quality is typically evaluated based on impurities such as dissolved solids, chlorides, and sulfates, and its pH value is ideally between 6 and 8. Even slightly acidic natural water may be acceptable unless it contains harmful...

Quality Control01:05

Quality Control

1.4K
Quality control is one of the three cyclical quality assurance activities that help keep a system under statistical control. Typical quality control activities include creating quality control charts, conducting proficiency testing, and documenting and archiving results.
Quality control helps track data, visualize trends, and identify variations, making it easier to detect deviations that may affect the accuracy of an analysis. One way to do this is by generating a quality control chart, which...

Quality Assurance01:19

Quality Assurance

1.1K
Quality assurance is the overarching term used to describe the activities employed to ensure the proper performance of a system. These activities can be classified into three categories: quality control, quality assessment, and internal corrective measures. Typically, these activities work cyclically: quality control is performed before and during the analysis, while quality assessment occurs during and after the investigation. Internal corrective measures are implemented based on the findings...

Area of Science:

  • Nursing Education
  • Healthcare Quality and Safety

Background:

  • The Quality and Safety Education for Nurses (QSEN) competencies are crucial for nursing practice.
  • Assessing competency attainment in student nurses and newly licensed registered nurses (NLRNs) is essential for safe patient care.
  • Existing instruments may not adequately capture self-assessed confidence in QSEN competencies among NLRNs.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To report on the psychometric analysis of the Nursing Quality and Safety Self-Inventory (NQSSI).
  • To evaluate the NQSSI's validity and reliability for assessing QSEN competency attainment in newly licensed registered nurses.
  • To determine the NQSSI's utility for evaluating the effectiveness of nursing transition to practice programs.

Main Methods:

  • Psychometric analysis of the NQSSI.
  • Data collection from newly licensed registered nurses.
  • Statistical validation of the instrument's reliability and validity.

Main Results:

  • The NQSSI demonstrated strong psychometric properties.
  • Findings support the NQSSI as a valid and reliable measure of self-assessed confidence in QSEN competencies.
  • The instrument is suitable for use with newly licensed registered nurses.

Conclusions:

  • The NQSSI is a valid and reliable instrument for measuring self-assessed confidence in QSEN competencies among student nurses and newly licensed registered nurses.
  • Nursing professional development practitioners can utilize the NQSSI to evaluate competency attainment and transition program effectiveness.
  • The NQSSI supports ongoing quality improvement in nursing education and practice.
