integrating evidence-based practice Integrating evidence-based practice has become a significant part of the clinical environment, especially when it comes to clinical research. This paper will be divided into two parts. In the first part, I am going to focus on the eight steps when it comes to Integrating evidence-based practice in the clinical environment and the barriers experienced during the implementation of a new practice, as well as strategies to overcome the barriers. In the second part, I will be discussing the six sources of internal evidence, which could be utilized in offering data in regards to demonstrating improvement in outcomes. Part 1 Eight steps to integrating evidence-based practice When it comes to patients care, it is crucial to apply research as well as practices that are according to evidence-based practice. There are several steps that are necessary when it comes to implementing evidence-based practice. The following are the eight steps that should be followed to integrate when implementing evidence-based practice: Cultivate Inquiry Cultivating inquiry is the first step in regard to implementing evidence-based practice. This includes research regarding the…

Operational security Operational security, also recognized as procedural security, is described as a risk management process that highly encourages managers to view operations from the perspective of an adversary with the sole intention to protect sensitive information from landing into the wrong hands. As far as this is concerned, it becomes proper to note that operational security revolves around the generation and enforcement of policies, procedures as well as documents such as guideline documents. This approach plays a tremendous role in outlining the organizational structure and detail how the firm should be run, defines the kind of activity that is allowed and/or prohibited, and also focuses on various other facets that, in one way or another, define the normal business operation. Therefore, the major goal of operational security revolves around protecting and securing the operations of an enterprise while ensuring that the technologies required to maintain network as well as resource availability are secured. This paper is focused on exploring operational security by considering various areas, such as describing how different auditing, as well as monitoring techniques, are utilized to…

Associated Risks and Safety of CT Scans In general, CT scans are safe. The process is painless and takes a minimal amount of time. There is a slight chance that one may experience an allergic reaction from the contrast dye that is being used. Due to the underdevelopment in an unborn baby, pregnant women are not usually viable candidates for CT scans. The amount of radiation that a grown human being gets exposed to may cause harm to the baby. Although injury to a baby is unlikely, the risks associated with exposure may cause the attending doctor to prescribe a different test like an ultrasound. [3] Another risk associated with CT scans is the possibility of a patient having pre-existing allergies, kidney problems, or if they are under medication for diabetes; these may require making special arrangements for the particular patient. [1] Similarly, patients may experience some reactions to the contrast material. According to the Mayo Clinic [3], contrast material may, on rare occasions, cause reactions or medical complications. Such reactions mostly cause rashes and mild itchiness; adverse or life-threatening…

Science Science is the study of phenomena and events through systematic observation and experimentation. As such, the teaching of science must be influenced by the various values that will facilitate retention and understanding. Science education provides an opportunity for learners to develop understanding and appreciation of the ideas that have been developed by scientists towards enhancing the quality of their lives either through knowledge or practical application. The pedagogy involved in science education is hugely influenced by the need for creativity in improving the outcomes of the teaching and learning processes. Creativity plays a central role in facilitating the teaching of science at different levels. The link between creativity and science is established through an understanding of the nature of science. According to Hadzigeorgiou et al. (2012), science is a creative process that considers the influence of new ideas and their usefulness. The argument extends that science requires novelty and usefulness ass the key determiners of the usefulness of creativity in the teaching of science education (Hadzigeorgiou et al. 2012). There is a close relationship that emerges between science and…
