Hi! I am currently a nursing student and one of my research topic is about Lung cancer. Based on your experience, what will be your advice for those patients who are exposed with family members who are heavy smokers? What is your advice? I will appreciate your opinion. Thanks!

You are doing "research" by asking random people on a message board if "smoking causes cancer"? Do you know WHO you are asking? Nursing students? LPNs? RNs? NPs? CNA? Or maybe a truck driver?

What do you mean "advice" to family members who are "heavy smokers"? What is a "heavy smoker"? How many "family members"? How big is the house? How long have they been smoking? Are the "family members" adults, children, infants? How long are they in the house? Are they sleeping in the same room?

If this is a research topic the professor most likely expects you to do research of peer reviewed data that you can cite. You don't want to turn in anything you got on a forum.

Let me paraphrase this post. " I am too lazy to actually put effort into my homework assignment, so I posted the questions here to have you do my homework for me. Feel free to answer the questions for me."

"Since actually doing research for an assignment requires way too much energy. Please post the answers to my questions so that I can copy and paste the answers.

I thought it was pretty well-established that smoking causes lung cancer :borg:

Before I register to this site , my expectation is to gain knowledge with healthcare professionals because they are more experienced with this kind of case. I also worked in a medical setting but this message was unexpected coming from a professional. I appreciate your time for replying to my post.

to OP - what part of needing to do your own homework is difficult? Yours is such an easy topic. Just wait until you get something difficult!

And for the future, when students come to AN asking for help, respondents expect them to have at least made some type of effort to finding the answers themselves and tell us what they found or what's confusing or where they got stuck, etc. People are then more than most likely willing to help. Otherwise your post does sound much like PP Guy in Babyland posted.

For FYI, my research was actually done > I did my homework and I did not copy and paste. My questions was purposely posted as part of the project and how nurses will react to this question. Your responses will be definitely counted in my presentation. My professor would like your behavior and responses. I wondered how you treat your patient in bedside????
