The movie lasted 8:05 minutes and were distributed by a closed YouTube Channel and personal email. The setting for the movie was an empty unused room comparable to the other patientsâ?? wards, so the movie was taken in a natural setting. The movie consisted of both professional and teaching considerations to promote a result oriented and a flexible implementation.

The right amount of knowledge at the right time â?? is a keystone in running am effectively heath department today. With todayâ??s technology it is possible to make movies on different devices, even those with less technical skills, and upholds new opportunities for the nursing profession and science in clinical practice.
