4550- Evidence Based Nursing

Nursing Students Ohio University

Published

From looking at the classes starting in fall, I'm guessing that Evidence Based nursing is replacing Research? Anyone have any idea if stats is still required prior to taking this, as it was with Research?

IV= FCC

DV= kids HRQL

correct :cheers:

Question 3

There is no difference between continuous nebulization of albuterol at 7.5 mg/hr (usual dose) and 15 mg/hr (high dose) in peak flow improvement up to 3 hours in the patients with acute bronchospasm (Stein & Levitt, 2003).

IV =

DV =

But shouldn't iron status r/t an entity such as the infant? I don't get it

You manipulate the independent variable to affect or influence or change the dependent variable (someone correct me if I am getting it wrong here). Fe isn't going to affect, influence or change the infant but it will the Fe status.

That makes sense...thank you! This stuff sucks.

You are talking about the part where it says to make certain to note how many articles in the review were qualitative and quantitative and state what quantitative designs were found? Yup - clear as mud. Is it talking about the article we have to read and then the one we found - then it does not make sense at all since the 2nd article is supposed to be a systematic review or meta-analysis of a topic related to diabetes. And No - I have no idea what I am talking about, I am just typing what I see in the directions :banghead:

Yeah that was the part I was talking about. I wasn't sure how much I was allowed to post on the message boards about the assignment. The directions are definitely clear as mud and the grading rubric is a joke, it doesn't state any specifics related to this discussion board.

In looking back over the directions, it is starting to make a little more sense. The other article we are to find in a database is supposed to be a systematic review or a meta-analysis. Look at pages 210 and 211 - it discusses what these are - these reviews and analysis look at large quantities of research articles and compile and analyze them. There should be a listing of what articles were reviewed and if they were qualitative or quantitative in nature. It should also state what kind of qualitative design was used. OK - now we just have to find the article ...

Thanks! I just went ahead and started the discussion board, hoping that as I went along I'd figure it out. Once I read 210-211 it made more sense! Thanks for the help! Now if only I could figure out what kind of design the article that they provided is!

I find it easiest to read the statement and then just ask "What depends on what?" So the iron status depends on how much iron is given. Does that make sense to you? This is at least what helps me.

I am thinking continuous nebs are IV and peak flow is DV (Even though in this case the independent value doesn't change anything for the dependent value) Doesn't this seem like a null hypotheses???

This is a great way to look at how to decide what is the DV and what is the IV

Correct!! :D

Question 4

People who report more frequent or more recent dental prophylaxes are more likely to have better glycemic control (Taylor et al., 2005)

I agree except that I think the DV would be the infant's Fe status. Does your book just say the Fe status?

I'll take a stab at this one,

IV frequency of dental prophylaxis

DV glycemic control
