NC LIVE / JSK 12 of 35 Let’s Practice! A nursing student has come to you for help in finding information for a case study that she is researching. She needs to find information on interventions school nurses can use to help prevent student obesity. Do a keyword search in CINAHL for some preliminary results. Let us know what you found?

NC LIVE / JSK 17 of 35 Let’s Practice! Using the same nursing case that we had before (interventions school nurses can use to help prevent student obesity), let’s try some of our more advanced search techniques. What are the best subject headings for this search? What are some secondary headings related to them that might also be helpful?
