... [Show More] Class,
Informatics helps to facilitate data, information, knowledge, & wisdom & in nursing, wisdom is a combination of knowledge & experience that helps us to have a higher common sense & insight that will thus help us to have a sounder clinical judgement. Per McGonigle, Hunter, Sipes & Hebda (2014) ‘wisdom is the ability to use knowledge & experience to heighten common sense, perceptions & the ability to think critically & use sound clinical judgement’. It is knowing how & when to apply knowledge. A nurses’ judgement is usually achieved by education & experience. With this in mind wisdom & judgement are very similar. Each requires a knowledge base & then an internal ability to know how & when to apply that internal knowledge & wisdom. Our continuing education requirements is one way we will always be adding to our knowledge database & thus increasing our wisdom along with our many experiences.

Identification of qualitative research in electronic database is both complex & difficult. Qualitative research has an important role in evidence-based health care.
Health SciencesDatabases like CINAHL, Cochrane, OVID, PubMed, & Google scalar were searched. Years can be custom raged between 2011-2016. Using Boolean terminology, I searched for elderly population & exposure to air pollutants. Peer-reviewed articles can further narrow search down. On the very first page, article number four is about ambient temperature, air pollution, & hears rate variability in an aging population. In a study done Ren, O’Neill, Park, Sparrow, Vokonas & Schwartz (2011), on ambient temperature & air pollution it was found that these factors are associated with cardiovascular disease & may affect cardiovascular events. In this study interaction between temperature & air pollution & their interaction with heart rate variability was examined (Ren et al., 2011). It was concluded that increase in factors like temperature & air pollution might act tighter to worsen cardiovascular health & lead to car cardiovascular events via autonomic nervous system dysfunction (Ren et al., 2011).

The article can be summarized as
Hello Diana,
Use of pesticides to eliminate rodents can cause poisonings & may cause chronic health problems including cancer. Rodents are also a very common cause of respiratory infection triggers found in most shelter housing. Wild rodents can also cause considerable property damage by chewing through homes, car engines, & other places. Rodents can spread infection by droppings & urine. Rodents also may carry fleas, which can cause infection. Some common diseases are Hantavirus Pulmonary Syndrome, Leptospirosis, Plague, Tularemia, Rat bite fever, Salmonellosis, Lymphocytic choriomeningitis, Monkeypox. Rodent baiting is suggested as an effective way of wiping out rats. Penalty for rodent violation can also act as stimulator for rodent prevention.
According to Himsworth, Parson, Jardine, & Patrick (2013), rats carry a large number of pathogens, & can cause a substantial morbidity & mortality. A more comprehensive understanding of the ecology of these pathogens in people can be helpful in regulating the risks associated with rats to monitor & alleviate those risks (Himsworth et al., 2013). There are multiple ways in which rats, people, pathogens, routes, & environment interact, common causes of human disease can still be identified (Himsworth et al., 2013).
