“…In units basing their parallel classifications primarily on the EPR, the best result for proportion of agreement was 70%, in 'Nutrition and Medication'. This may reflect the fact that accurate documentation of patients' medication has been the object of EPR development and nurses' training in recent years at OUH and other Finnish hospitals (Saranto et al 2010, Virkkunen et al 2015, Sneck et al 2016. In sum, careful documentation of nursing care promotes a high level of agreement between raters and reliability results for the OPCq.…”

Aim:The aim was to describe which elements of nurses' knowledge, training needs, behavior, and attitude can prevent Medication errors (Acronym MEs) in the emergency department during all steps of the administration of intravenous (IV) medications.Methods:An anonymous questionnaire made up of 43 items has been drafted and delivered to a sample of 103 nurses of a university hospital in Rome. The study has been supported by specific literature review.Results:Majority of the sample (94%) answered that topics related to the preparation and administration of IV medications were covered during the basic course while 63.2% only during the postbasic course. Only 15.6% of nurses judged excellent their level of knowledge about preparation and administration of IV medications while 89.3% considered that it is important to improve their knowledge; 85.6% said that the teaching about the use of IV medications should be increased during the degree course they attended; 30.3% agreed that specific postgraduate courses on the use of IV drugs should be designed. Moreover, only 22% of the sample believed that the coaching of new recruit nurses is critical to prevent errors.Conclusion:The sample showed appropriate knowledge, positive attitudes, and right behavior related to the preparation and administration of IV medications. The skills that nurses must have in pharmacology are still rising, both due to the safety of drug therapy and to the increasing number of drugs available; the result is that nurses have to update their knowledge regularly.

“…Matua and Van Der Wal (2015) stated that descriptive research functions through a realistic presentation and point explanation of some people, events or artworks. Readers have the opportunities to be provided with a meticulous, systematic and vivid strategy of ensuring that the sentiments, ideas through which the artwork was carried out whiles the images work in the reader's mind (Sneck et al, 2016). Curtis et al (2016) opine that a descriptive research often tells readers the likely art they would see, or even what they would feel, hear, smell or even think.…”

Artists in Ghana who produce sculptural busts or portraits mostly limit their production materials to clay, P.O.P., cement, and metal cast. These materials may have defects and could be potentially affected by environmental conditions for lifelong periods. Aluminium welding is not practiced by artists in the fabrication of photorealistic portraits. The techniques used by artists in Ghana is the clay and cement model, which can further be used in the creation of a cast resin or metal. The researchers investigated the most used materials for creating realistic busts. The pros and cons of the materials as well as their techniques were rigorously analyzed in comparison with the aluminium forming and welding technique. Welders are constrained as far as what they can create. Mostly welders produce iron gates, burglar-proof and security locks. There is the need to diversify the technique to be able to produce portraits as a step in experimenting and diversifying the material and technique.
