    Research Critique, Part 2: Critique of Quantitative Research Article

    The authors describe this study as prospective in design. The study was conducted to evaluate the efficacy of UPPP, a surgical procedure for OSA, on patients who had surgery six months prior (Hsu et al., 2007). It is presumed every patient gave consent for the surgical procedure. An assumption may be made that subjects were voluntary for the post surgical study because there was no mention of further consents. It is not stated that this study had approval from an institutional review board from the agency. The 19 male patients participated in overnight pre and postoperative non-invasive polysomnnographic studies (PSG). These tests include the Epworth sleepiness scale recording, CAM of upper airway, and bio-data recording.

    Cretikos et al. (2008) stated that nurses do believe that pulse oximetry is an adequate monitoring of ventilation. However, pulse oximetry measurement has not been demonstrated to be a specific indicator of serious illness, and it lacks specificity. This is clear evidence that nurses lack the required skills and knowledge to undertake a comprehensive respiratory assessment (Meredith and Massey 2010).…

    The dependent variables in this study are the registered nurses licensed to practice in the state of Nevada; the independent variable was the Registered Nurses’ Workplace Support for Patient Advocacy Activities Study Questionnaire.(Black, 2011, p. 29) Data was collected through the developed questionnaire that was sent to 1725 registered nurses with active, current licensure and residing in the state of Nevada at the time of the survey.(Black, 2011, p. 29) The author provided no rationale for using the chosen data collection method, I would assume that this was the most cost effective and best way to maintain privacy for all respondents. The surveys were sent out using the United States Postal Service on September 8, 2008. (Black, 2011, p. 30) The respondents were asked to complete the…

    Although the conditions that Peggy McIntosh writes about in her article “White Privilege: Unpacking the Invisible Knapsack” are not as present as they were in the past and the United States has been moving away from race being and identifying factor of a person, RACISM is still a modern issue in the US. I would say about seventy percent of what is on that list still is in effect today. Being Latino has proved this to me. Living in specific areas or cities where youth is looked at negatively, me and my friends (black people) were stopped frequently by the cops and multiple times I was the only one that was not searched or had my ID asked for to check my record. Everyone else in my circle never experienced not being checked. When I got curious and asked a cop why this was he responded with “you do not fit the profile of who we are looking for”. The only real difference in appearance with me and my friends was the skin tone.…
