The Seven Rs Of Supporting Opinion And Avoiding Plagiarism, Joy Don Baker
Nursing Faculty Publications & Presentations

This is analogous to an RN who is scrubbed in being told, “Your glove is contaminated.” There should be no question in anyone's mind that the glove will be changed. Taking and using someone else's words or ideas is a breach of trust and authenticity to others and should not be considered a choice. Plagiarism is an act of …

Exploratory Analysis Of The Relationship Between Present-On-Admission Factors Of Adult Inpatients And Risk For Needing A Rapid Response Team Intervention During Hospitalization, John Dixon
Nursing Dissertations
Knowledge of how intrinsic present-on-admission patient factors such as age, gender, and pre-existing comorbid conditions contribute to patient risk during hospitalization is an important aspect for clinicians to consider when developing individualized plans of care based on patient needs. Health care providers could use such knowledge to screen and identify higher risk patients upon admission to the hospital. For those patients, the health care team could provide greater surveillance and vigilance in observation and monitoring. Such proactive interventions may reduce or avoid the occurrence of patient deterioration or need for a Rapid Response Team (RRT) intervention during hospitalization and thus, …

Female soldiers are twice as likely to have Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PSTD) than their male counterparts and are three to four times more likely to become homeless.

This mixed methods study measured the extent of HIV/AIDS stigma and the relationship between stigma and sociodemographic variables in a sample of 76 HIV positive HCWs. Qualitative aspects (n=20) explored how HIV positive HCWs manage personal health, stigma experiences in the workplace, and the HCWs role in reducing stigma in the workplace. Overall, HIV positive HCWs in this study experienced low stigma levels (Mean= 7.88, SD 12.90). Subscale means ranged from 0.09 (SD 0.28) for workplace stigma to 0.39 (SD 0.62) for verbal …
