Generalized linear modeling techniques used investigate which significantly predict nurse's knowledge. Test for interaction effects performed, significance set at .05. Responding nurses (N = 265) described practicing variety settings, such as pediatric settings (40.2%, n 105), emergency departments (25.4%, 86), medical/surgical (8.4%, 22), one setting (4.1%, 14), with all areas having similar (P .052).
