Post Nasal Drip (or PND). Mucus draining down the back of the throat over the back of the tongue where the bad breath bacteria live. They feed off the proteins in mucus and create strong odors. If you still have your tonsils, you may be harboring a higher number of the bacteria in the crevices of your tonsils.
Our Professional Practice Model, adapted from Hoffart and Woods (1996)1, contains the values, structures, and processes that support registered nurse control of the delivery of nursing care and the environment in which care is delivered. The center of the model is the patient and family.
Nursing is synonymous with caring. The goal of applying Leininger's theory in nursing practice is to provide culturally congruent care to persons of diverse populations. Integrating the patient's cultural norms into care of the patient. With this transcultural care theory, caring is the central and unifying domain for nursing knowledge and practice.
