ParticipantHi Pumi! It is sad that children are often taken advantage of and how often it occurs. I think that is why there are more safety concerns around their exposure to environment and society. As a mother I can imagine being very wary and protective of your children at all costs. Being a parent makes you the immediate advocate to ensure that your child is safe and healthy. It is a scary world we live in today where people and even some healthcare professionals are untrustworthy. Well said Pumi!

ParticipantHi Selva! I agree that it is important for older aged children to be involved in the decision making process regarding their autonomy. As a mother I am sure that you protect your children at every chance when they are exposed to possible negative factors. I also like your idea that there should be controls and checks regarding child research as they are more easily susceptible to risk of exposure to negative impacts as well as needing a secure advocate. No parent should want their child’s personal information exposed to public sources, that is why it is good to be well informed before agreeing to any research being conducted.

ParticipantHi Pumi! Copy and paste is most certainly the definition of plagiarism. Thank you for telling us about self-plagiarism, I forgot that is even a tricky form that not many people realize. I also really liked that you included how plagiarizing is a disservice to the individual doing it, by limiting their writing skills.

ParticipantHi Ava. It is indeed confusing sometimes when citing and paraphrasing in writing, from other sources. Even when rewriting their ideas into your own words it is indeed their original ideas that we are taking. You did a very nice job of explaining plagiarism and how easy it can be to unintentionally do it. It is definitely a good idea to double check your work!

ParticipantHi Cristina, I agree that the in-text citations and direct quotes are tricky. If not written properly it is plagiarism. We have to give the credit where credit is due! The direct quotes do feel odd to use when the process of citing a source is so strict, so I get what you mean.

ParticipantHi Ava! I liked how you gave examples in your explanation. Mentioning that incorrect citations and not properly rephrasing or citing is plagiarism! It can also be very easy to accidentally plagiarize if you do not quote or cite your references properly. That is why it is so important to double check your work, so thank you for mentioning that!

ParticipantHi Ava! this system for evaluating sources is perfect! It highlights all the important aspects of ensuring that the source is appropriate, accurate, and useful writing. I am glad that you made sure to highlight that the source should be bias free as well. Thanks for sharing!

ParticipantHi Cristina! I love that you mentioned the peer reviewed sources and making sure to cite the sources! It is easy to get lost in getting through a research paper and forgetting to add those citations. Also, remembering to do both in-text and references page citations!

ParticipantHi Marie! I agree that EBP is essential for improving patient outcomes. The repositioning technique is a good example of implementation! Thanks for sharing!
Melanie Warnock
ParticipantHi Pumi,I agree that it is very important when taking care of patients. If we prioritize EBP when providing care, then the care should be of quality and patient centered. Using EBP is definitely essential to implement in order to limit the spread of bacteria and germs! It is important to use EBP in the nursing field to ensure we are giving the best possible, up to date care.

ParticipantHi Ava! I agree that there are both pros and cons to technology. It can be used to save lives and bring life into the world. But it can also harm, which would ultimately be our faults for creating flawed technology devices. It is hard to determine the best course of action sometimes regarding technology and medical advances, that is when we need to rely on evidence based practices to see what has worked best.
Melanie Warnock
ParticipantHi Pumi, I completley agree with you. We as humans and people need to draw the line somewhere. God made us who we are and trying to change fate and what he has planned is dangerous. We are no longer being truly human when we let technology make what our bodies were meant to. What is meant to be will be.

ParticipantHi Marie! I like that you included how qualitative can be misinterpreted but Quantitative can lack context due to it being just exact numerical data. I guess you could say that in order for a complete study you would need to express both data. Definitely helpful for understanding the information.
Melanie Warnock
ParticipantHi Ava! I like how you said that it made you think of subjective and objective! That is a really good comparison that makes it easier to remember. Both qualitative and subjective are both useful information to include but quantitative and objective are more concrete data.

ParticipantHi Pumi! The direct eye contact being a sign of disrespect is so different compared to the U.S. eye contact like you said. My Dad’s side of the family were pretty lenient with kids behaviors growing up. However, I remember my mom’s side being very different and more strict. When going to my great grandparents house we had to dress our best and were not allowed to be rowdy as kids or play around the adults. We had to greet my Italian grandparents and all family members with kisses on both cheeks. We also had to make direct eye contact with them like you said to show respect.
