How Are Computers Used by Nurses?
The area of interest in nursing informatics are nursing information, nursing data and nursing knowledge. The present state of knowledge related to these phenomena proposes four implications for the development of systems to assist nursing. First, research suggests that experience and knowledge is linked to the quality of nursing assessment, diagnosis or clinical inference, and planning of nursing care, and also that knowledge is task-specific Information technology can provide access to a variety of information resources, such as knowledge bases and decision support systems, to enhance the level of knowledge of the nurse decision-maker. Second, organized patient assessment forms with linkages to knowledge bases of diagnoses have the capability to improve the quality of the patient check up and the accuracy of the diagnosis.
2010 Commentary on the 2008 CDC HIV
Health Promotion – Scholarly HIV Article
Despite addressing HIV/AIDS since the early 1980's and despite strenuous efforts to uniformly address and defeat our nation's HIV/AIDS epidemic, the collection, review and reporting of data is still disorganized beneath the surface. The 2010 Commentary on the 2008 CDC HIV/AIDS Surveillance Report illustrates a central resource for addressing the HIV/AIDS epidemic in America. The Commentary appears to accurately summarize and provide access to uniformly collected, examined and reported data from all reporting sources in the United States; however, use of these linked items shows a great deal of difference in intervals, review and reporting of data.
Anthro \"On the Law Which Has Regulated
This is a five page paper divided into two sections. The first section is a write-up and analysis of the article by Alfred Russel Wallace entitled, "On the Law which has Regulated the Introduction of New Species." This article predated Darwin's Origin of Species, and Wallace deserves credit for the theory of evolution. The Sarawak Law comes from this article. The second half of this paper is about H.G. Well's novel The Island of Dr. Moreau, which explores similar themes.
Gilman Was a Social Activist and Herself
Charlotte Gilman's the Yellow Wallpaper is a haunting semi-autobiographical article of mental dementia where a woman is imprisoned in a room by her male guardians – her doctor, her brother, and her husband – allegedly for the sake of her health. Forced to stare for hours on end at wallpaper in her room, the woman sinks into mental psychosis. The story comes alive particularly because Gillman herself experienced mental dementia. She lived during that period, suffered from contemporary medical advice that proffered to ‘cure' the problem, and angered at chauvinist anti-female bias that reduced women to male ownership capturing and killing them, poured all in her story. Women, Gilman seems to tell us, can free herself. But it takes immense will and effort to do so since socialization and convention has been so strong. It needs the combined effort of womanhood in general to help females free. And once free, women can crawl around the room as she pleases.
"I've got out at last," says the character, "in spite of you and Jane. And I've pulled off most of the paper, so you can't put me back!"
Gilman's experience brings the "Yellow Wallpaper" to live and her social activism is the stimulus behind the story telling's – women all over the world – to fight for their freedom.
Egalite for All. Toussaint Louverture
It does deal with the stated period and the history of the times--1780's. But the director has taken the viewer for granted in many issues. For example the slave system of Haiti is simply stated as ‘black slaves and white owners. Secondly the film has downplayed the efforts of the blacks as they were then called, in the revolution. It appears to be made that the city got independence more by chance rather than by their struggle. The history and the settings have not been made clear. Opinions of the commentators are too garishly underlined more than the necessary facts. The viewer would never know if the slaves were brought to the island from Africa, or where they natives who were enslaved? If they were brought from Arica, at a time when the US was promoting slavery and Napoleon was supposed to promote liberty, equality and fraternity that were the slave system like? What role did the constitution that was made by Toussaint play in the later day declaration of independence? What is the position now? Whose interests were and are being protected?
