An estimated 50,000 people could be dying each year in the United States from catheter- associated nosocomial infections. The Institute of Healthcare Improvement has established five best practice guidelines for reducing the prevalence of catheter-related bloodstream infections, including simple and inexpensive precautions such as hand hygiene, barrier precautions, and antiseptic use.

Nursing is a profession that is close emotional attachment between the patient and the nurse. This greatly advanced the concept of caring in this profession. While nursing has generated a lot of research about caring, this concept remains relevant to all healthcare professionals encountering users of health care services. It is evident that Jean Watson's theory of human caring depends on a phenomenological and transpersonal methodology.

This research article presents the methodological construct, observable results and wider implications of an experimental inquiry conducted to test a phenomenon known as retrieval-enhanced suggestibility (RES). Coined to describe the counterintuitive trend of eyewitness suggestibility increasing after repeated retrieval attempts, here the concept of RES was tested using a four-part experimental structure designed to examine the link between multiple retrieval attempts and witness suggestibility to the presentation of subsequent misinformation. The research team constructed four spate experimental designs to test three variables: number of initial tests conducted (0, 1, 3, 5, and 6 across the various experiments), delay separating the initial and final tests (i.e., 30 min or 1 week), and presence of testing manipulation (i.e., nontested vs. tested) occurring between or within subjects. As the first published study on RES to integrate both the between- and within-subjects design, this article presents an abundance of previously unreported information on memory retrieval and witness suggestibility, ultimately concluding across all four experimental designs that repeated testing of memory increased eyewitness suggestibility to later presentation of misinformation.

Literature – The Shame of the Nation: The Restoration of Apartheid Schooling in America The Shame of the Nation: The Restoration of Apartheid Schooling explores the systematic dismantling of desegregation achieved by Brown v. Board of Education and the civil rights movement. While individuals and institutions pay lip service to Thurgood Marshall's claim that separate-but-equal is impossible, they achieve very harmful segregation in the name of progressive school reform. This system stacks the deck against nonwhite children confined to segregated schools and robs them of the quality education and opportunities supposedly granted to all. Only a new civil rights movement, aided by state and federal legislation and courts, can effectively combat the concerted segregation now plaguing America's educational system. ?

Has the Miranda vs. Arizona ruling decreased the percentage of arresting official violations of defendant Fifth Amendment rights?

The serial position effect describes the differential impact of long-term and short-term memory on the recall rates for lists of unrelated words. This laboratory report examines the data of an informal study on the impact of a short, unrelated cognitive task inserted between presentation of the work list and its recall. The data is presented graphically and analyzed statistically. While the graphical data representation confirms the findings of previous studies, the statistical analysis is impaired by the use of item means.
