Phen375 is not the typical weight loss product where you eat very little, have to spend day in they gym and put your body through starvation. A starving diet does not work, plain and simple. A lot of people will try starving their selfs to lose weight. What usually happens is the binge cycle where people will starve their self, then compensate by eating a ton of food. When you starve yourself your body goes in to survival mode and does everything it can to conserve calories, including slowing your metabolic rate down. This means when you eat, you body starts storing food opposed to using it. Starving yourself to lose weight is not a good idea as it is. It is unnatural and unhealthy, you need food in order to survive. Phen375 is an appetite suppressant that helps you to eat less but keep your metabolism up. A good diet in any weight loss program is always best practice. Your goal should not only be to lose weight but to stay healthy and happy.…

The article discusses the problems related to the discharge of patients from a paediatric Intensive Care Unit, the process of identifying the information requirements of the families, the development of a written brochure to help in supporting the families during discharge, and the assessment of the brochure in practice. A review of the nursing literature shows that the discharge of a patient from paediatric ICU and the subsequent transfer to the wards induces anxiety and fear. The relocation anxiety can be reduced through strategies such as using a liaison nurse and providing written information to the patient and their families.…

Evidence-based practice (EBP) can be seen throughout history dating back to the mid 19th century when Florence Nightingale gathered research to improve the quality of care provided to patients while analyzing hospital data (Miller, Ward & Young, 2010). EBP has been defined as “using current best evidence in making decisions about the care of the individual patient” (Ervin, NE. 2002. p. 11). Integrating EBP into nursing practice poses its own set of difficulties and barriers. To bridge the gap from literature and the evidence gathered through research into bedside nursing, there must be a clear and thought out strategy for implementation (Pipe, T., Wellik, K., Buchda, V., Hansen, C., & Martyn, D. 2005). There are many strategies to the implementation of EBP into nursing. Due to the varying levels of education and exposure, there is no right or wrong avenue for implementation. While there are barriers to the use of EBP; the outcomes from EBP include, but are not limited to, reaching the goal of better patient outcomes, decreased use of resources, and increasing revenue by decreasing cost. EBP is the culmination of the best research practices to achieve a patient directed goal while minimizing the resources needed and maximizing financial gain (Menez, J. 2007). EBP has produced many necessary changes throughout nursing and has provided safer patient outcomes. With the utilization of the best research modalities, integration and teaching of EBP, and the use of EBP in nursing, many necessary changes throughout nursing have been initiated and safer patient outcomes have been documented (Pipe, T., Wellik, K., Buchda, V., Hansen, C., & Martyn, D. 2005). EBP has been a source of nursing medical change which…
The American Academy of Pediatrics conducted a survey in 2010 which established that there were only 13,000 Pediatrics Nurse Practitioners in practice at the time. It was noted in the same survey that the majority of that number work in primary care settings. In order to establish role delineation for Nurse Practitioners, The American Nurses Credentialing Center (ANCC), a subsidiary of American Nurses Association (ANA), conducted a national level job analysis survey. The purpose of the survey was to describe practice expectations and map out performance requirements and environments that Nurse Practitioners must meet to in order to practice. It is the goal of The American Nurses Credentialing Center (ANCC) to conduct this study every three…
While studies by Meredith and Massey (2010) confirmed nurses neglect to conduct respiratory assessment due to poor understanding and lack of knowledge in relation to the techniques, the findings by Hogan (2006) confirmed it was difficult for nurses to count patients’ respirations without the patient being aware and changing their breathing pattern. Cretikos et al. (2008) stated that therefore nurses are unable to detect respiratory distress caused by medication side effects and reduced level of consciousness. This leads to poor patient’s outcomes such as shortness of breath, chest pain and lowered oxygen level.…
