However, community nursing provides an advantage to the health worker who faces those diverse challenges. The family in question was a single parent family. The family only ...

4. Methodology As this experiment is considered as an improvement to the previous experiments, the other cars that might appear on these pictures were controlled by removing any other cars that appear on these pictures, except the approaching one. Then on the opposite lane, pictures of one or two cars were added to act as distracters. By this method, the road was transformed from an empty road, to either mild or high busy road creating another factor that can be tested (Traffic Density factor). This factor can be acted as more realistic (see figure 4.1). Figure 4.1 ...
