Design and Sampling Methodologies Patricia Turner Kaplan University July16‚ 2013 Critiquing Design and Sampling Methodologies Identification of design Quantitative: Foster-Fitzpatrick and colleagues used a comparative-experimental method design that involved a non-probability sampling of 100 hypertensive males to determine if crossing the leg at the knee during blood pressure measurement has an effect on the patient’s blood pressure reading? In this experimental research the implementation

Colonisation is when microorganisms become a part of the normal internal flora. These mircoorganisms are not harmful to the human‚ but when they reproduce and multiply they join the natural flora of the body and they all live together. Infection is when a pathogen (infection causing microorganism) invades the body and start to reproduce in any tissue of the human. Examples of infection include the common cold‚ skin infections (warts) and gastroenteritis. Disease refers to a disruption in the sturture

MEASURING HYPERTENSION It is measured with a sphygmomanometer‚ which assesses the levels of the systolic and diastolic pressure. Systolic pressure is the greatest pressure developed during ventricular contraction‚ whereas diastolic pressure is the pressure in the arteries when the heart is relaxed. Systolic

THE EFFECTS OF COLD ON BLOOD PRESSURE AND PULSE Abstract The ability known as thermoregulation is a feature of an organism that help to keep the body temperature within certain thresholds‚ thus independently from external conditions. A dynamic state of thermal balance of human body between its internal environment and the territory is a model example of precise control of organism heat. In the case where such stability would be disturbed the immediate response would appear as well. In accordance

Nurses knowledge on initial assessment of critically ill patients Nurses knowledge is playing an important role on assess and identify critically ill patient. Ongoing specific clinically education and skills training enable nurses to recognize and respond to critically ill patient. The level of education was identified as an important predictor in ward nurses’ ability to quickly recognize patient deterioration (Massey at al.‚ 2017). The study done in Greece on the factors influencing nurse’s decisions

it determines one’s potentials for gas exchange and thus physical activities. Exercise over time increases one’s physical fitness. A way to measure fitness is by taking a blood pressure reading. Blood pressure is read by a device called a sphygmomanometer. Blood pressure is the force of blood moving along the elastic walls of arteries. The top number is the systolic reading‚ corresponding to the contraction phase of the heartbeat. The bottom number is the diastolic reading and corresponds to
