摘要:

A young adult in seemingly good health can rapidly become the victim of multiple sclerosis. This disease of the central nervous system can produce chronic neurological disability. Recent research has shown that a short course of I.V. cyclophosphamide and adrenocorticotropin hormone can result in a temporary stabilization of symptoms in patients with chronic progressive multiple sclerosis. Because of the immunosuppression and drug side effects, as well as the physical and emotional needs, these patients present a unique challenge to I.V. nurses as well as the general nursing staff.

摘要:

The ideals that we as nurse specialists aspire to and perform for are constantly being changed and clarified in the moment of action. We must recognize our own influence on these changes. Each of us is a part of the whole. We need to continually listen to each other, speak to each other, and acknowledge the value that each of us has to offer. One of the forms we may choose to express our concern for quality assurance in our field, is that of an “expert witness.” Our tools for performance are at hand. We constantly judge situations, issues, policies, and procedures through our Standards of Practice. However, it is the attitudes which fuel us that directly effect the quality of change in our purpose. We need to strive for positive interactions with our nursing peers for effective “educational therapy” to take place. There are no schools for learning the specifics of this role. Monitoring our own practice is our current position. Each of us is, in fact, our own “expert witness.” Do we have a belief in our purpose? If so, why not give visibility to another of our “Dimensions in Excellence?”

摘要:

The New England Deaconess Hospital has pioneered the practice in the United States of mixing lipid emulsion in total parenteral nutrition (TPN) solutions. This delivery system is referred to as 3-in-1 or total nutrient admixtures. Due to the complex medical-surgical patients cared for, a large number of whom are placed on TPN, this approach offers significant advantages to nurses dealing with TPN patients.

摘要:

Peripheral vein nutritional support (PVN) is a safe and economic modality to provide a balanced nutritional intake. The safety and convenience of peripheral vein administration eliminates central vein-related metabolic complications and sepsis. Hospitalized patients facing extended diagnostic workups and/or uncomplicated surgery are ideal candidates for PVN, which should be considered an integral part of their medical and nursing care. It can be used on patients admitted in the local community hospitals as well as the metropolitan medical centers. This presentation will review indications, current regimens and I.V. devices available for administration.
