Topic Needed for Term Paper

[MManske]

Hello all=) I am a nursing student in WA. I have an assignment to write a 12-page term paper on any standard of practice in nursing. For example, I could write about the importance of "scrubbing the hub" for 15 seconds. Or I could argue whether or not aspiration when administering an IM injection is truly evidence-based, even though it is a standard of practice. I would love to write about something fascinating; any ideas would be greatly appreciated! Thank you.

1. Some professionals argue that it is unnecessary to rub a person's fingertip with an alcohol prep pad prior to obtaining a finger stick capillary blood glucose sample.

2. Are daily dressing changes really needed for stage 1 and stage 2 pressure ulcers? Some experts say yes and others say no.

3. Do dietary restrictions really improve the condition of patients with uncompensated congestive heart failure?

All three of these are great examples, thank you so much=)
