摘要:

There is much that patients must know to be able to safely manage warfarin (Coumadin). This study examined the extent of Coumadin-related knowledge patients living at home had 1 week following hospital discharge. Findings indicate that home care nurses need to concentrate on supplementing the inadequate knowledge patients have about Coumadin therapy, especially among the elderly.

摘要:

Many home care patients have central venous access devices to administer a variety of infusion therapies. Catheter occlusion is a potential complication. This month, catheter occlusion due to thrombotic causes is addressed. In many cases, thrombotic occlusions can be treated, sparing patients trauma and the expense of replacing the catheter. Thrombolytic drug therapy using the drug alteplase can be performed in the home setting to “declot” central venous access devices. Next month, occlusion due to nonthrombotic causes will be described.
