摘要:

Although technology exists to sustain vital Junctions of almost any patient, not every pulse-less patient is a candidate for resuscitation. Criteria needs to be developed to guide heath care professionals in identifying DNR situations and teaching families about DNR options. The first step is to identify characteristics that are related to current DNR selection, so prescriptive criteria can be developed to aid in DNR decisions in the future. This article presents a descriptive study of characteristics associated with DNR statistics for pediatric ICU patients.

摘要:

Ethical decision making is a process that combines justice and caring in moral reflection to select sound choices. Nurses and physicians often have different perspectives on how to resolve ethical dilemmas. Satisfactory resolution depends on overcoming conflict and achieving collaboration between members of the health care team. Conflict can occur on a number of different levels. For example, it can be between nurses, nurses and physicians or the entire health care team and the patient. This article helps prepare critical care nurses to handle ethical dilemmas in crisis situations by providing them with specific strategies that help promote collaboration in resolving ethical dilemmas.

摘要:

Every year hundreds of thesis reports are completed by graduate students. Many of these end up on nursing journal editors' desks, only to be rejected. What characteristics of a thesis lead to rejection? How can authors develop quality research manuscripts? How can faculty teach graduate students the difference between a thesis and manuscript. This article answers these questions by providing advice from 15 critical care and research journal editors.
