Her mentor for this project is Dr. Kathy Jo Ellison. Traemond Anderson, RN, BSN Undergraduate Research Fellow 2020-2021 Trae Anderson completed an undergraduate research fellowship during the 2019-2020 academic year. As part of a planned study with people living with diabetes, Trae conducted a literature review on recruitment of underrepresented populations into health promotion research. He was accepted at a national conference to present his findings, but due to COVID-19, the conference was cancelled. Trae continues to work on an integrative literature review manuscript that will describe strategies shown to be effective in the recruitment of underrepresented populations into health promotion research and the identified strategies will be utilized in recruitment for the Doggone Diabetes study which will begin in Spring of 2021.

Molly Fortner Graduate Research Assistant, MSN Nurse Practitioner and Nurse Educator Nurse Practitioner and Nurse Educator Molly Fortner worked as a graduate research assistant in partnership with Dr. Linda Gibson-Young for the last two years of her graduate curriculum. She was vital to research with child health, specifically TigerCHAT School-based Health Education and Asthma Camp Eagle. Nurse Fortner developed curricula, implemented school-based initiatives, managed a community-based asthma camp, and analyzed data within ongoing efforts. Most excitingly, she disseminated outcomes of the initiatives in local, state, national, and international settings and was influential in building this community-based program of research.

They include bathing or showering, dressing, getting in and out of bed or a chair, walking, using the toilet, and eating.
Which of the following actions will help the nurse carry heavy objects?Bend the knees. Bending the knees maintains your centre of gravity and lets the strong muscles of your legs do the lifting.
