Appraisal and Study Quality

Describe the general worth of this research to practice.

What are the strengths and limitations of study?

What are the risks associated with implementation of the suggested practices or processes detailed in the research?

What is the feasibility of use in your practice?

Here the researchers theoretically leverages on the evidence as the best approach for coming up with decisions regarding individual care of patients.

The study focused on empirical approach to data collection. It applied quantitative research method in determining and proving the validity and reliability of the research. However, with regards to nurse patient ratio, there could be a false focus on numbers making it limited to pursue concrete, statistical relationships which can lead to researchers overlooking some vital areas of the study.

The workload parameters are one major risk factor influencing the results of patients and by extension, the satisfaction of nurses.

It is very feasible in areas of my research like medical errors in nursing. It also explains the relationship that is exhibited between low staffing and extreme patient conditions.

The study has precisely elaborated the medical errors on the basis of statistical analysis and justified such errors founded in that clinical setting on that basis.

This research was also pegged on quantitative research method with the utilization of convenience sampling and application of other complementary methods of data collection. On the flip side, the wide used sampling method might have increased bias with regards to selection and thereby drawing an erroneous conclusion.

In this case, the risk factor revolves around the management of time with regards to the collection and management of data.

Looks at the prevalence and various types of medical errors and the limitations that have always occurred in reporting such errors.

The content is modeled to trigger an exploration of the patient care in various clinical setting based on key topics like patient safety, evidence based practice, teamwork, and

The selection of the study sample was done efficiently and conveniently from various hospitals. However, on the flip side, some of the baseline variables could not predict the complications of the study.

Risk factor her is primary the complication post percutaneous coronary interventions which have become more threatening to the treatment processes of the very condition.

Feasible in the identification of risk factors, procedures and sheath removal of complications which are predicted.

The general worth of this research is hinged on fact that despite the diagnostic status, patients suffering from hypertension often do not follow the even the very simple guidelines of the Dietary Approaches to Stop Hypertension.

The adherence to the dietary approaches to stop hypertension was found to be somewhat largely accurate for controlling the variables. But also, it was unclear whether a diagnosis to hypertension has an impact on adherence to the diet and the intake of nutrients.

The risk factor herein was found to be the fact that various people who have hypertension might likely to develop other diseases like heart diseases and stoke in the long run.

In prevention and management of high blood pressure.
