How Researchers Influence Care From Lamplight Days to our Solar-Powered Future?

Since Florence Nightingale nurse researchers have influenced patient care by systematically watching for patient's learning needs, their reactions to treatments/procedures, and their ability to adhere to medical regimens. When a problem is identified, nurse researchers develop and test interventions, such as preoperative teaching or positioning protocols, that minimize the side effects of illness of treatment procedures and produce neonatal feeding health promotion outcomes. The view of the nurse researcher is not just multidisciplinary but interdisciplinary, meaning nurses interact with other disciplines to study the problem. Nursing care and nurses' research spans a 24 hour day, thus offering a consistent approach to care appropriate for a particular problem any time day or night.

Describe a clinical issue and type in the box below how the nurse researcher's multidisciplinary research could address the problem. Your response will be sent to you and your instructor at the same time.
