¶ … nature of hypertension, as well as methods of treatment using both drugs and alternative approaches. Ceral et al. (2011) focus on whether antihypertensive drugs are effective or if patients are simply not using them. They find that patients must adhere to recommended therapy in order for effects to be accurately measured. Inui et al. (1976) point out the importance of receiving and following physician tutorials. Green et al. (1975) likewise identify education for hypertensive patients as critical to effective therapy outcomes. Omran et al. (2015) discuss the treatment of hypertensive patients with diabetes co-morbidity and find antihypertensive medication to be an effective medication management tool to a limited degree.
Step 2: Briefly summarize the history and purpose of your research question.
The history and purpose of the research question is whether hypertensive medications or more effective than holistic approaches to hypertension in helping patients to alleviate symptoms and reduce hypertension related risks to health. With the rise of holistic medicine over the past few decades and with health care services costs increasing and becoming increasingly questionable in terms of coverage (deductibles and premiums have both risen in most states), many patients are looking for alternative avenues to treatment. The question this paper proposes is whether patients suffering from...
However, the weaknesses are that they often proceed from the assumption that a pharmaceutical response to high blood pressure is the most appropriate or most acceptable form of treatment. There is little discussion in most of the studies that focus on pharmacology regarding alternative medicinal treatments of hypertension or the possibility of alternative methods being preferred by patients as opposed to drug options.
Step 4: What gap exists in the current literature? Explain.
There is a gap in the existing literature comparing pharmaceutical treatment of hypertension with holistic treatment, such as Chinese traditional medicine, which utilizes foods, spices, soups, etc. in the treatment of physical ailments. There is literature regarding holistic treatment of hypertension: Xiong, Yan, Liu et al. (2013) discuss Chinese herbal formulas for treating hypertension in traditional Chinese medicine. Comparing holistic treatment of hypertension and pharmaceutical treatment could help fill this gap in the literature.

Part IV: Identify the influence of empiricism on quantitative research methodology. Discuss its applicability to evidenced-based practice projects.
The influence of empiricism on quantitative research methodology is seen in the demand for quantifiable data and tangible results. Objective processes that can be duplicated in research, methods that are clear and supported by research, and analysis that is based on observation is key to conducting research in sciences today. The applicability to evidence-based practice projects is that empirical analysis helps to provide clear, objective findings that can be tested by other researchers.

Nursing Practice The CINAHL database provides an easy access for thousands of journals and articles in the field of nursing and allied health. Moreover, the CINAHL contains references to nursing journal articles from the United States, UK, and other countries. A search for articles and journals are carried out using the keywords and the process can bring out hundreds journal articles. Objective of the paper is to investigate the search
The next database used for the search is Medline. I began with the same search terms, celiac disease biochemistry, however it did not return any articles. Next, the search was expanded my search by simply searching celiac disease. This returned 544 articles. The first article is titled Celiac Disease and is from the National Library of Medicine. This article is clearly not useful. Next the search was expanded to celiac
Dementia and Alzheimer's Disease Dealing with Dementia and the progression of Alzheimer's disease through its three stages is often a daunting and distressing task. Most often relatives feel isolated and without help as if they were to be left alone, having no help to deal with the "unknown." They are also afraid of having to watch their loved ones become more and more distant, potentially losing a horrible battle with
This particular aspect is what most medical trainers miss when dealing with interns or newly appointed nurses. They found that oxygen use, if below the necessary requirement can be damaging, so can its overuse. In another study, it has been found that using oxygen below the prescribed level can instigate damage in the organs, respiratory structures and can be especially damaging for patients who have chronic obstructive pulmonary disease
