  <description><![CDATA[<span style="color: rgb(102, 102, 102); font-family: Verdana; font-size: 11px; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255); ">Systematic reviews, especially with meta-analysis, are often considered scholarly works at the top of the pyramid (See the&nbsp;</span><a href="http://www.cebm.net/?o=1025" style="font-family: Verdana; font-size: 11px; " target="_blank">Oxford Centre for Evidence-Based Medicine</a><span style="color: rgb(102, 102, 102); font-family: Verdana; font-size: 11px; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255); ">&nbsp;for example.) This is because they typically combine randomized controlled trials (RCTs) that may be limited by small sample sizes, enabling stronger conclusions to be better derived.&nbsp; Yet, this seemingly golden offering of scholarly literature may have its limitations.&nbsp;</span>]]></description>

  <title><![CDATA[Self-Care and Lymphedema]]></title>
  <description><![CDATA[My first preceptor was a nursing assistant who had been treated for breast cancer several years prior to my orientation. While I didn&rsquo;t know the extent of her disease or treatment, I can still remember the tight wrap that she wore on her left arm and the arm exercises that she would do whenever we had a little &ldquo;down time&rdquo; on the unit.]]></description>

  <title><![CDATA[CLABSI: Central Line-Associated Bloodstream Infections]]></title>
  <description><![CDATA[According to an article published in <em>Nursing2012</em>, &ldquo;Preventing CLABSI: Central line-associated bloodstream infection,&rdquo; the mortality for these infections is 12% to 15% which makes it the most deadly&nbsp; healthcare associated infection and the most costly with average costs per case of $26,000 (Dumont &amp; Nesselrodt, 2012).]]></description>

  <title><![CDATA[Prostate Cancer Screening: Not So Fast]]></title>
  <description><![CDATA[When you look at screening diagnostic tests to detect the presence of disease, nothing causes more discussion than colonoscopies for colon cancer, mammograms for breast cancer, and prostate-specific antigen (PSA) screening for prostate cancer. I was recently at a presentation by a colleague on diagnostic screening tests and whether they are worth it. The discussion that ensued was charged with emotion and logic but eventually it was decided that we as healthcare providers need to provide our patients with the relevant statistics and evidence and then allow them to make their own informed decisions.]]></description>

  <title><![CDATA[Presenting the Evidence: Poster Presentations]]></title>
  <description><![CDATA[Recently I had the pleasure of attending Nursing2012 Symposium in Orlando, Florida. One of the sessions, titled Faculty-Guided Poster Tour: Ask the Experts, was a highlight for me. This session was exactly what the title implies; an informal tour of the posters being presented at the conference. Three experts &ndash; Frank Myers, MA, CIC; Cheryl Dumont, PhD, RN; and Anne Dabrow Woods, MSN, RN, CRNP, ANP-BC &ndash; led the session which was held right in the exhibit hall where the posters were displayed.<br />

  <description><![CDATA[The Cochrane Nursing Care Field writes a column for the&nbsp;<em>American Journal of Nursing</em>&nbsp;on a regular basis.
