The Effects of a Dedicated Education Unit on Baccalaureate Nursing Students' Clinical Judgment.

Background: Nurse educators and students consider clinical learning experiences to be the best method for learning clinical judgment skills. Research on the relationship between dedicated education units (DEUs) and nursing students' clinical judgment skills is scarce. This study investigated the effects of a DEU on Bachelor of Science in Nursing (BSN) students' clinical judgment skills.

The Effect of Magnesium Concentration on Myogenic Cardiac Function: Larval .

The heart of larval serves as a model preparation in addressing cardiac function, as known genetic mutations can be mimicked to examine therapies. Pharmacological agents and function of proteins, like TRPA1, which affect ionic transport and ion concentrations can be investigated for their action on cardiac function in this model. To maintain function, the larval heart tube needs to remain viable; thus, a physiological saline is required.

Pilot Testing and Validation of an Educational Game on Transportation Challenges for Mobility Device Users.

Despite the increasing use of assistive mobility devices, practical education to navigate real-world ground transportation barriers is lacking. The educational board game, called HERL-Town, was developed to teach safe and effective navigation for mobility device users (MDUs) in the community. The study examined the initial validity, reliability, and overall quality of HERL-Town as an educational tool for overcoming transportation barriers in real-world environments.

Meningococcal C Disease Outbreak Caused by Multidrug-Resistant Neisseria meningitidis, Fiji.

We describe an outbreak of invasive meningococcal disease (IMD) caused by Neisseria meningitidis serogroup C in Fiji. We created surveillance case definitions and collected data by using standard investigation forms. Bacterial identification, antimicrobial susceptibility testing, and PCR were performed in Fiji.
