Research in nursing education often involves addressing problems and topics of interest to scholars from numerous fields outside of nursing-and to nurse educators from around the globe. Although it is sometimes true that little is known about a given topic of interest to nursing education researchers, often more is known about the topic if researchers consider evidence with extradisciplinary and international origins. In this Methodology Corner article, a framework for evaluating the applicability and transferability of study findings is presented alongside examples of how the framework can be operationalized to expand the evidence base from which nursing education researchers can draw when designing studies of their own.

However, the characteristics of PIVCs, especially in older patients, have been poorly investigated. In the current cross-sectional observational study, PIVC sizes, PIVC sites, the number of attempts until successful insertion, and the degree of venodilation upon insertion among hospital inpatients aged ≥65 years were investigated, along with measurements of the vessel diameter and depth using ultrasound.
