Using virtual simulation and electronic health records to assess student nurses' documentation and critical thinking skills.

Introduction: Electronic health records have become a standard documentation platform to house patient information in most US hospitals. To improve documentation, providers suggest establishing electronic health record user education at the classroom level so students can interact with patient data early. The purpose of this study was to assess student nurses' clinical documentation and critical thinking skills using virtual patients and a simulated electronic health record system.

A combined chloroplast atpB-rbcL and trnL-F phylogeny unveils the ancestry of balsams (Impatiens spp.) in the Western Ghats of India.

Only a few Impatiens spp. from South India (one of the five centers of diversity for Impatiens species) were included in the published datum of molecular phylogeny of the family Balsaminaceae. The present investigation is a novel attempt to reveal the phylogenetic association of Impatiens species of South India, by placing them in the global phylogeny of Impatiens based on a combined analysis of two chloroplast genes.
