Therefore, Garman, Tyler and Darnell established a research project that was initiated in order to develop a “job-relevant, commercial-quality multi-source feedback survey” suitable for use in health administration settings (Garman, Tyler and Darnall, 2004, p. 307).

Article Critique/One-to-One Midwifery
[ send me this paper ]
A 14 page research paper that offers an article critique on a study of one-to-one midwifery, plus much more.

Article Critique/Placing Gastric Tubes
[ send me this paper ]
An 8 page detailed article critique of a study conducted by Ellett, et al (2005) concerning the formulating a predictive model for determining esophageal distance in placing gastric tubes. Roughly 1 million enteral tubes are placed through either the nose or mouth in adults and children in the US on a yearly basis. A primary issue in regards to the safety and effectiveness of gastric feeling by tube is achieved through optimal tube placement on insertion (Ellett, et al, 2005). Nevertheless, research indicates that gastric tube place errors are common (Ellett, et al, 2005). Therefore, Ellett, et al (2005) designed a study that employed 24 variables in order to formulate a predictive rule for clinical practice that could be used in facilitating gastric tube insertion in adults by indicating the insertion distance.
