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.
IMPORTANCE OF NURSING THEORIES. 1  Nursing theory aims to describe, predict and explain the phenomenon of nursing (Chinn and Jacobs1978). 2  It should provide the foundations of nursing practice, help to generate further knowledge and indicate in which direction nursing should develop in the future (Brown 1964). A particular theory or conceptual frame work directs how these actions are carried out. 2  The delivery of nursing care within the nursing process is directed by the way specific conceptual frameworks and theories define the person (patient), the environment, health and nursing.
