Animals, care, and nursing research.
These multiple measures of health were positive and encouraging. It was possible to integrate nursing actions into protocols for this long-term study. It is the author's belief that by strengthening the humane care and handling of animals the study results can more accurately reflect the discipline of nursing. Through such efforts, discipline-specific findings could be strengthened when an animal model is used, particularly in long-term or survival nursing research.
