Abstract

Most often affecting the elderly, dementia causes complete inability to perform routine daily activities due to impairment of memory, thinking and social abilities. Caring for dementia patients can be very challenging given their actions, reactions and activities have the potential to inflict pain, injury, or harm to themselves or to those around them. The use of restraints as a means to control dementia patient actions is a routine practice in healthcare. The restraints include seat belts, collars, chains, bed rails, lap barriers, wrist restraints, ties to bed, strait jackets, padded cells, and electronic devices.

Abstract

Hospital-acquired infections have always been a major impediment to high-quality health care especially in regards to fast patient recovery. These infections occur when the patient is exposed to bacteria and viruses possibly acquired from another patient in the same hospital. Most of the hospital-acquired infections are however preventable. Some simple strategies can be introduced in these health settings, and these can have a significant impact in terms of reducing the number of infections that are transmitted to patients around the hospital. It is from this aspect that this paper draws its premise. This paper aims to look at one Continue reading...

Abstract

Conscientious objection on the part of a nurse is not taken lightly by the nurse, the facility, co-workers, or patients. There is a wide range of procedures in which a nurse may refuse participation, but there are steps to take prior to the situation occurring in order for the facility to make arrangements to allow the procedure to take place. Nurses are protected legally in cases of conscientious objection, but this does not allow a person to deny participation in one instance and not in another nor to apply conscientious objection without discussion with administration. This paper discusses ten Continue reading...

Introduction. Analysis of Research Topic.
Depression is one of the most wide-spread problems in the elderly. Described as one of the significant contributors to the old age disability, affecting functionality in all significant domains, and being one of the leading causes of suicide in people aged over 65, depression in the elderly remains one of the public health challenges both in developed and developing countries (Holroyd-Leduc & Reddy, 2011).Despite the accumulated evidence on different treatment strategies, the approaches to the best ways of depression treatment in elderly remain controversial. The purpose of this review is to determine the effectiveness Continue reading...

Based on the study of Marschall, et al. (2013), the findings of the several studies included in their research were not enough to recommend a specific practice change because of the variation in the duration and brand of the prophylaxis and the length of observation time of the studies. The differences noted and the presence of different biases may have affected the results of the study which is why more meta-analysis of studies should be done to be able to present a strong evidence for the implementation of a particular change in the practice of nursing.
In addition, despite Continue reading...

Abstract

Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PSTD) is an anxiety disorder that is related to serious traumatic experiences and events. Different tools have been devised to assess PTSD. One of the most important tool in its assessment is The Impact of Event Scale-Revised (IES-R). It is an effective tool as it correlates with the DSM-IV criteria for PTSD. The IES-R instrument functions in such a way that the observation of the cut-off score or the kappa coefficients helps one assess and evaluate PTSD. The IES-R can be used to do repetitive measurements with the objective of monitoring the progress among PTSD individuals. Continue reading...

Introduction
Psychosis is a psychological illness that has been subjected to a lot of research over the years. As an illness, it causes people to perceive things differently from their peers and compatriots. Cases of psychosis are usually accompanied by delusions and hallucinations. According to Keshavan et al., (2005) as well as many other authors who have researched the issue, individuals suffering from this disorder will break from reality and will start believing, hearing and even seeing things that are not real. These delusions and hallucinations work in combination to disrupt one’s thinking, perception, emotions and even behavior ( Continue reading...

Is short term memory retention affected with interruptions?

Introduction
Our memory consists of the ability to encode information perceived through our senses, which is later stored in our brain and can be recalled whenever we may need it (Piccard, Berthoz, Baulac, Denos, Dupont, Samson and Guariglia, 2010). Information can be the smell of a fruit, the name of a person we just met or how soft that sweater was that you saw in a store. Memory is what we know, and if we forget something as simple as what we were doing one minute ago, then how can we go on about our day? Is it likely Continue reading...

(2009) article “Modern-day clinical course of type 1 diabetes mellitus after 30 years duration” and Balfe et al. (2013) study entitled “What's distressing about having type 1 diabetes? A qualitative study of young adults' perspectives” are the articles used for the comparison. Just as the title hints, the latter is a qualitative research article investigating diabetes related-distress. It finds that diabetes distress Continue reading...

INTEGRATIVE LITERATURE REVIEW: "NURSING CARE CONSIDERATION FOR ISLAMIC WOMEN IN CANADA."

Introduction
Religion has serious implications for health care. Religion is part of the culture which gives an individual an identity. Currently, there is a need for nurses to provide culturally-sensitive care. In order to provide culturally competent care, it is important for the nurses to understand certain religious/cultural beliefs and practices held by a particular group of patients. By doing so, the nurse will be able to provide optimal care to patients from different cultural groups.
One of the most sensitive groups of patients when giving care is Muslims and especially Muslim women. Islam is a religion with strict Continue reading...
