Analyze the causes of anorexia in hospitalized patients. Provide three patient scenarios that commonly result in decreased food intake during prolonged hospitalizations. For each scenario: • Name a specific disease or condition. • State specific medical interventions (medications, tests, or treatment) that may interfere with appetite, or the desire for food. • Name the type of modified diet that would be ordered and give suggestions for improving diet acceptance. • Give a suggestion for avoiding decreased food intake.

When researching  information regarding evidence-based practice associated with hand hygiene methods and products used when caring for a patient-ordered contact precaution,  you could access the library’s nursing databases.

a. What is the difference between an index system and an electronic database?

b. What different attributes/features would you use to conduct an effective, concise online search for appropriate nursing literature?

c. What advantage will a federated search provide for your search?

This doesn’t have to be in a certain format or have a cover page. You can just answer each question with a few sentences and that will be fine.
