With the help of the research variables, the hypothesis is been prepared effectively from the variables. For preparing a good research variables there are different variables which match the research to make it effective in the process. There are attributes and values of the variables which can be changed accordingly. The flexibility is one of the qualities which a variable research consists and that is the most important consent while setting the research hypothesis. Two or more variables are needed to complete the research proposal. The variables have mutually exclusive attributes which occur at different time and are not selective for instance a person can select one alternative from the given options according to the study (Denise & Beck, 2004). This is helpful to prepare a research proposal as it may not take long time to conclude the research proposal. The variables are the factors which can be measured and they vary as per the name suggests. The variables improve the research proposal because they are the main base for the research which has to be taken for a particular business or a company. Without the help of variables, the research cannot be possible as the hypothesis and the methods are base upon the variables (Burns & Susan, 2007)...

To Nursing Research NRS-433V April 21, 2011 Critique of the Research Article: Perspectives of Hospital-Based Nurses on Breastfeeding Initiation Best Practices The purpose of this research study is to evaluate the differences in breastfeeding knowledge and the implementation of breastfeeding by registered nurses in the postpartum units and the hospital policies, both formal and informal, related to the implementation and support of breastfeeding. Human milk is accepted as the ideal food source for infants for the first 6 months of life. Breastfeeding is then encouraged as a supplement to other foods until the child is 12 months of age and beyond. Both The Academy of Pediatrics and the International Lactation Consultant Association support these recommendations. CDC statistics report that in 2006 73.9% of women breastfed in the early postpartum period. This drops to 33.1% of those that are exclusively breastfeeding at 3 months of age and then drops again to 13.6% exclusively breastfeeding...

...Jonathan Swift 1. Swift wrote "A Modest Proposal" under a pseudonym, so who is the speaker here? The speaker is a Protestant and a member of the Irish upper class. 2. Discuss the tone of the piece. Pull examples from the text to support your discussion. Swift showed disgust for the people who would rather beg than take care of themselves. He says, “These mothers instead of being able to work for their honest livelihood, are forced to employ all their time in strolling to beg sustenance for their helpless infants who, as they grow up, either turn thieves for want of work, or leave their dear native country, to fight for the Pretender in Spain, or sell themselves to the Barbados.” 3. As you know, effective argumentation appeals to logic (logos), ethics (ethos) and emotions (pathos). Please discuss how Swift uses all three appeals and how these tools impact his purpose. Swift appeals to logic by stating the issue at hand. He also appeals to logic by asking why it is the public’s responsibility to take care of these needy families. Swift appeals to pathos and ethos through the diction he uses when describing the problem. He wants the situation to change but he wants it to change for every party. 4. Explain the irony in Swift’s title, "A Modest Proposal." The title is ironic because the proposal is anything but modest. Swift presets an outrageous solution to an ongoing problem. His proposal calls attention to this problem in an extremely eye-catching way. He seems...

...During the 17th and 18th centuries, there was a shift in literature. The Restoration period was during the 17th century and during this time Jonathan Swift wrote “A Modest Proposal”. “A Modest Proposal” is a satire that discusses the issues and solutions of poverty that occur in Ireland. The Romantic period occurred during the late 18th century. A novel that was written during this time period was Frankenstein by Mary Shelley. Considering that each piece of literature is from a different time period, they both express similarities and differences. Jonathan Swift was born in Dublin, Ireland on November 30th, 1667. Swift grew up fatherless because his father died two months before he was born. Being a single mother, his mom struggled to care...

...April 21, 2016 Chris Bartholomew Educational Preparation As early as the 1950’s, the ongoing debate regarding nursing education in the United States has been whether a minimal entry-level requirement is needed. If graduates from an associates and baccalaureate program are similarly compatible in theoretical knowledge and clinical practice, what then are the differences? Multiple studies have been conducted on the topic of nursing education, and organizations such as the National League for Nursing (NLN) and the American Nurses Association (ANA) stand firm on the need for higher educational standards for nurses in all practice settings, and emphasize the baccalaureate degree as the minimal entry level for ‘professional’ nursing practice (Giger & Davidhizar, 1990). The following essay will discuss the differences in knowledge base and competencies between the associate-degree and the baccalaureate-degree nurse clinician. Historically there have been three routes of entry into the field of nursing. For the purposes of this paper, we will focus on the associates program traditionally offered at community colleges, and the baccalaureate program taught at the university level. Graduates from both of these programs sit for the same (NCLEX-RN) National Council Licensure Examination (AACN, 2015). Course study in an associate’s degree program usually includes nursing fundamentals and clinical care across the lifespan, but their main educational focus revolves around clinical skills...

...Ragine Williams Ms. Wilson ENG 105 – 22 15 October 2013 The Right to Cannibalism In his essay, “A Modest Proposal,” Jonathan Swift reacts to the social problem faced by the Irish in 1720’s. Swift proposes that the babies of all the poor and desolate will contribute to the feeding, and partly to the clothing, of many thousands to improve Ireland’s economy and standard of living. He says this because many women kept having children but were unable to provide for them. For example, Swift says, it will prevent these horrid practices of woman murdering their bastard children alas. He also states that his proposal would make the babies “beneficial to the public. For these reasons, he blames the politicians for the poor conditions in Ireland causing mothers to watch their children grow up beggars or thieves. In “A Modest Proposal,” Swift effectively uses sarcasm to reveal his annoyance of politicians, papists, and citizens of poverty-stricken Ireland in the late seventeenth century. Therefore, parents in dire straits should sell their children as food to improve their living conditions, to reduce their financial burdens, and to reduce their emotional attachment to their children. Unlike parents in dire straits who choose to abort their children, parents who sell their children as food improve their living conditions. The mothers in dire strait will now be able to help pay their landlords rent, and have money to spare. Swift also states that there will be a “great inducement”...

...Helping Experience Proposal My aunt was recently the victim of a stabbing during her shift as a nurse at a home for mentally retarded adults. After doing a little research on the effects of patient/nurse incidents and traumas, I decided that assisting her while she recovers from her injuries would be an excellent experience for this essay. My paper will focus on post traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) as well as nurses who work with mental patients. The long-term effects on nurses caused by mental patients are a very influential part of the nurses’ lives. After assisting my aunt, a recent victim and candidate for PTSD, I hope to gain a better understanding and respect for these nurses, as well as witnessing first-hand what being a victim truly means. Depression and Anxiety contained a research article about PTSD in nurses. Their research did not include nurses who have experienced a traumatic event, as my aunt has, but, nevertheless, is related to my topic. The research suggests that nurses in general are more likely to develop degrees of PTSD just from the trials and tribulations of their jobs than people in other, lower-stress jobs. Also, several nurses experience trauma and death as an everyday aspect of their job, which can result in PTSD as easily as being a victim can. Nursing, especially in high risk positions such as my aunt’s, can result in symptoms of PTSD. My aunt is at an even higher risk to developing this disorder due to the recent trauma she experienced at the...

...1720s, Ireland was dealing with an economic depression which caused the rate of poverty and starvation to rise. Parents were living in poverty and did not have enough funds to supply their children with the basic needs. Children did not have the appropriate clothing and food to be well nourished. Jonathan Swift’s A Modest Proposal touches on this topic. Swift theorized a solution of fattening the starving children and selling them to be consumed by rich land owners in Ireland. The mothers would have as many children as possible and at the age of one, the children would be sold to be consumed or made into “admirable gloves for ladies, and summer boots for fine gentlemen”. Swift believed this would reduce the rate of abortions, the...

...Mentoring has been established in a variety of fields for many years. Within nursing, the term ‘mentor’ denotes “A nurse, midwife or specialist community public health nurse who facilitates learning and supervises and assesses students in a practice setting”, (Nursing and Midwifery Council (NMC) 2005). The essay will explore the role of the mentor in the field of nursing, with personal reflection on the authors experience as a mentor in my current role as a community mental health nurse (CMHN). The mentor-mentee learning relationship will be explored and the application of teaching and learning strategies will be examined. The essay will also discuss the responsibility of the mentor in relation to self, others and the professional agenda and will analyse current assessment procedures for nursing students. Following a student journey, the essay will consider how the mentorship process can be improved in the clinical practice environment. In recent years, the National Health Service has undergone huge modernisation and consequently, the preparation of nurses for the future has changed to reflect its new principles. The change in organisational and educational philosophies in teaching nursing has lead to a search for effective strategies that are directed towards making the most of human potential and learning in practice. The clinical experience of nursing students is widely acknowledged as being one of the most important aspects of their educational preparations...

GMC: General Medical Council. BMA: British Medical Association. GP: General Practitioner Introduction The Aim of this module is to encourage me to enhance my personal and professional skills, to increase the efficacy of patient care and interaction. Also to make me more aware of the legal, professional and ethical implications of practice. The module allowed me to further develop my knowledge of these topics: Ethics & Accountability, Legal Aspects of Practice, finally Accountability & Professional Practice. I was then asked to submit an essay of 4500 words based on the following: “Critically analyse an aspect of care from your practice setting that encompasses the ethical, professional & legal role of the nurse. Issues of accountability should be incorporated into this essay”. Aspect of care The aspect of care I have chosen to include in my essay is the “Do Not Attempt Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation (DNACPR)” Adult Policy 2010 (please see Appendix 1). I decided to choose this topic as there was a situation on my ward recently where a patient discovered a DNACPR form in the front of her nursing notes. The patient was very upset as she was not aware of this decision. She was an elderly lady with end stage Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease. It came...

...Invictus, directed by Clint Eastwood, is the true story based on the life of Nelson Mandela during the first year of his term as President of South Africa in 1995. This essay will focus on Invictus and critically analyse leadership knowledge, skills and behaviours displayed within the movie. The essay will use the transformational leadership theory to relate to these qualities and outline how they can influence culture within an organization. Further, the essay will highlight how the elements of leadership, including emotional intelligence, teamwork, communication, patient centered care, and education, impact on nurses and on patient outcomes. Invictus focuses on the captain of the Springboks South African rugby team, Francois Pienaar, and Nelson Mandela, who after serving a prison sentence from 1964-1990, was released from prison due to the fall of Apartheid, which eventually resulted in his election to the Presidency in 1994 (von Tunzelmann 2013). Apartheid, meaning ‘the state of being apart’, was a system of racial segregation in South Africa, enforced through legislation by the National Party governments, under which the rights, associations, and movements of the majority black natives were limited and Afrikaner minority rule was maintained (Merriam-Webster 2014). As the new President, it was evident that Mandela yearned for the people of South Africa to unite, rather than being divided into two groups, the Afrikaners and the black natives. Mandela believed that the country...
