摘要:

Even though the Code for Nurses calls for nurses to provide nondiscriminatory care and to treat patients with respect, research shows that nurses (1) are reluctant to provide care to and (2) believe that they should have the right to refuse to care for patients with AIDS. This article presents two contrasting situations and focuses on the ethical principle of respect for persons. Nurses need to examine their own practice to determine if they are providing care that respects the uniqueness and rights of their patients.

摘要:

Good meetings are rare in many organizations. The purposes of meetings include sharing information, decision making, problem solving, education, planning, evaluation, and peer support. The structure of meetings flows from the basic function(s) of the group. Consideration is given to membership, degree of formality, limits of authority, and responsibility. Suggestions for successful meetings focus on establishing an agenda, sticking to the time schedule, appropriately using visual aids, and doing necessary postmeeting follow-up. Responsible and meaningful participation in the group process is an essential aspect of meeting effectiveness and efficiency. When all the elements are managed skillfully, the meeting can be GREAT.

摘要:

A home care referral generated upon hospital discharge communicates essential patient care information, links service providers, and facilitates continuity of patient care. The literature however, reveals that communication efforts are often inadequate and may even fail in this system. The purpose of this research was to examine whether various discharge planning models employed by hospitals resulted in differences in the quantity and quality of communication about patients referred for home health care. Kelly and McClelland's (1985) typology of discharge planning models provided the framework for the study. Using instruments designed specifically for this project, six referring hospitals' functional discharge planning models were labeled and 300 closed home care records of referrals were reviewed to ascertain the amount and type of data transmitted. Results indicated that only slightly more than half of the data recommended by the literature was actually transferred and that data was primarily background in nature. The hospital discharge planning model did make a significant difference in the amount and type of data shared, with liaison nurses sending the greatest amount of data. However, both conceptually and in practice, the discharge planning models simply describe an allocation of responsibility among various health personnel. They are not operational models in the traditional sense.
