yeah it's a bit silly (i am actually going to write a submission on it).. i know some can but on all of the different wards i had my placements on they had to call a doctor to do it. In class, we learnt how to catheterize a woman but not a male. Flo- yes a male nurse can catheterize a woman

Hi everyone. I am student nurse in the south island of New Zealand and needing some ideas for a research assignment. I figured i would post in this forum since the majority of you are experienced and may have come across something that you've often wondered about. 'm finding it difficult to come up with something that hasn't been done (i haven't had that many clinical placements yet) Some examples that they've given us are: "Why do we measure a persons vital signs every 4 hours?" "Does home visiting improve health outcomes?" "When someone is having a blood transfusion how frequently should you check for transfusion reactions?" those were just a few examples... i initially wanted to have something like "Why can't registered nurses in New Zealand catheterise males" but i couldnt find any research on it and my lecturerer told me to do something else. can you think of any good ones?? something that i could find some good research on? the assigment just requires us to form a research question using PECOT (population/exposure/comparison,control/outcome/time)

Hey guys, i am just trying to get started on a research assignment I have to do and was wondering if I could get some help with ideas? It can be on ANYTHING. Some examples they've given us are "Why do we measure a persons vital signs every 4 hours?" "Does home visiting improve health outcomes?" "When someone is having a blood transfusion how frequently should you check for transfusion reactions?" those were just a few examples... i initially wanted to have something like "Why can't registered nurses in New Zealand cathetarise males" but i couldnt find any research on it and my lecturerer told me to do something else. can you think of any good ones?? something that i could find some good research on? the assigment just requires us to form a research question using PECOT (population/exposure/comparison,control/outcome/time)
