摘要:

The CRNI Certification Examination consists of 200 multiple-choice questions covering the nine core content areas of infusion nursing: Technology and Clinical Applications, Fluid and Electrolyte Balance, Pharmacology, Infection Control, Pediatrics, Transfusion Therapy, Antineoplastic Therapy, Parenteral Nutrition, and Quality Assurance. The review questions provided below are modeled on the CRNI exam and are intended to help exam candidates test their knowledge of infusion therapy practice. This special section will be a regular addition to theJournal of Intravenous Nursing,with each edition focusing on a single content area.

摘要:

Anemia is a common symptom associated with a variety of diseases, disorders, and dietary deficiencies. A review of hemoglobin and hematocrit levels may not be sufficient to determine the severity of the underlying problem. This article gives the reader an enhanced understanding of red cell morphology and reviews some of the common problems associated with anemia.

摘要:

Recombinant factor VIII concentrates used in the treatment of hemophilia A have provided freedom from human viral contamination for hemophiliacs who rely on frequent infusions to control bleeding. This article provides a historical perspective on the treatment of the various hemophilia types and current treatment methods for these and other inherited coagulopathies. Therapy complications associated with replacement factors and patient management issues will be addressed.

摘要:

Hospital experiences often are punctuated with pain related to common procedures, such as venipuncture. An alternative to venipuncture involves obtaining samples from an existing peripheral vascular saline lock device. To validate such a collection, this study compared the accuracy of serum chemistry tests performed on samples taken concurrently from the saline locks and by phlebotomy. No clinical differences were noted within the 17 sets of ion assays, and both potassium and chloride determinations demonstrated no significant statistical differences between the sample groups. Documented rates of sample hemolysis (21%) and difficulties experienced in collection suggest that blood sampling from an existing peripheral saline lock device is best suited to inpatients undergoing multiple blood sampling necessitated by short-term investigative procedures or crisis management.

摘要:

The theory of hematopoiesis has been in existence for many years, providing the foundation for understanding the blood system and its development, and adding to the basic principles in the study of human development. As we enter the new millennium, we are able to use this groundwork of the hematopoietic system to further our research endeavors. It has provided the medical arena with the capability to expand and enhance treatment options for patients, and to explore further the vast possibility this system has to offer us beyond the year 2000.

摘要:

Hemophilia is an X-linked (or inherited) lifelong clotting disorder that affects approximately 1 in 7500 males. It is one of the eight most costly diseases to treat. True disease management can serve to ease and prevent physical complications while helping to control the financial burden. The rarity of hemophilia makes it difficult to find knowledgeable professionals who can assist patients on the road from total dependence to independence. This article will help readers to recognize key issues of the disorder and explain how clients can be assisted in working through the transitional process.

摘要:

This descriptive study was planned to identify blood transfusion practice and knowledge of 100 nurses from three hospitals in Ankara, Turkey. Data collected through observation and interviews were evaluated using percentages, χ2, and correlation methods. Nurses' knowledge and practice related to blood transfusions were measured against a total score of 100. None of the participating nurses achieved a score of 100, and only a few had scores higher than 50. Although a positive correlation existed between the nurses' knowledge and practice scores, the correlation coefficient was insignificant. There was a statistically significant relation between the experience and knowledge scores, but not between the experience and practice scores. The results of the study showed insufficient knowledge about blood transfusion, which was reflected in undesirable practice.
