摘要:

Editor's Note As a professional journal, it our responsibility both to inform and stimulate. We were delighted, therefore, with the responses to the article by Brown et al. in the May/June 1997 issue. A continuing dialogue among practitioners is essential for thoughtful, timely, professional nursing practice. The comments of NAON members McCaffery (with Ferrell) and Dunwoody provide much food for thought as do the remarks of Erlen and the responses from the authors. We thank them all for their commitment to the patients we care for.

摘要:

Motor vehicle collisions are the leading cause of death from injury during childhood. As children outgrow their toddler car seats, they are often restrained by two-point lap belts, which are fashioned for adult body proportions. Those children restrained by two-point lap belts are at risk for intraabdominal and spinal injury during an auto collision. This article explores the mechanisms of injury and identification of “lap belt syndrome.” Aspects of nursing care and prevention strategies will be discussed. A case study illustrates and summarizes the cogent aspects of lap belt related injury and child/family care.

摘要:

Proximal femoral focal deficiency (PFFD) is an uncommon congenital defect that involves the femur and acetabulum in varying degrees. It may occur with or without fibular hemimelia and can be unilateral or bilateral in presentation. Children with PFFD and their families are faced with many treatment decisions, both nonsurgical and surgical. Nursing care is central in the care of these children and their families both for psychosocial support and teaching during the decision-making process and for being a patient advocate to help meet postoperative and rehabilitation goals.

摘要:

Complaints from patients often indicate their difficulty in coping with the health care system. Nurses need to acknowledge these complaints and help the patient resolve the problem. They need to see complaints as part of a continuous dialogue with their patients and their families. In addition, nurses need to use these complaints to assess the needs of the patient and to evaluate the care and delivery of services. This article presents nine steps the nurse can take when a patient or family member has a complaint.
