Lung cancer and secondhand smoker

[zahnart99]

Does cigarette smoking cause lung cancer? Why secondhand smoke cause lung cancer?

Please feel free to input your idea regarding this topic. Thank You!

Yes, I agree this homework is very easy to answer and it was proven that cigarette smoking can lead to lung cancer. The question was purposely posted as part of the project to find out how the nurses will react to this type of question. But I appreciate your honesty. Thanks for your response.

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????

Where is that Nursing BINGO card when you need it?

How does expecting a student to do their own homework correlate with how we treat our patients?

Ok, this has been pretty much the standard response of every student who expects to have their homework done for them and doesn't get the response they wanted. Can you see why most of us are skeptical?

Frankly, since evidence based research on this very subject has been around for about 20 years, I'm not sure why your instructor would approve it as a valid topic for discussion.

Now, if your intent was to get some personal/professional anecdotes and opinions from nurses who continue to see the effects of smoking and second hand smoke in spite of all the evidence that says basically "Smoking is bad, mm'kay", that would be an interesting addendum to your project.

Except, that wasn't how you presented yourself.

I doubt your professor would have any interest whatsoever in our behavior or responses -- I'd be interested to know, though, what your professor would think of your "behavior and responses" here.

You might have started out by introducing yourself and describe your assignment and what you have learned from your research. Instead you start a new account and post ONLY the question. Are you expecting us to be mind readers and know that you have done your own research?

If your professor is a competent one, she/he would be more concerned about 1) your academic integrity (posting questions for strangers to answer with nothing to indicate the research you have already done...which, by the way, is clearly stated as the expectation for this forum) 2) your research methods (conversations with internet strangers are not valid sources and cannot be cited), 3) your fallacious logic (referring to the non sequitur that is the final sentence of the above quoted post.), and 4) your entitled, immature behavior.

(Side note: I can't speak for others, but I do expect my future colleagues to do their own work. I also receive excellent performance reviews, largely because I am so patient-focused, according to my nurse-manager. I can count on my fingers the number of patients in 13 years who have expressed dissatisfaction with me as their nurse.)

If your prof is a competent one, she/he will expect more from you, as you are trying to enter a profession with very high stakes. At minimum, a nurse needs to be able to do their own coursework. Generally an approach such as "I am a nursing student, and have been assigned a project on the effects of secondhand smoke. This is my understanding of how cigarettes cause CA _______________________, and of the effects of seondhand smoke ______________________. Am I understanding this correctly? Am I missing anything?"

And then when a professional takes their valuable time to give you pointers on iproving your performance -- even if not precisely what you asked for -- say thank you.

Since my patients are babies and therefore they do not ask me to do their homework. This has never been an issue.
