摘要:

Alteration of the environment to compensate for age‐related sensory losses as well as common pathological sensory losses is necessary to maintain the independent living of many elderly people. Thorough knowledge of the changes in vision, taste, smell, kinesthesia, touch, and hearing that accompany the aging process is essential to the nurse practitioner for accurately assessing environmental alteration. By applying Dorothea Orem's Self‐Care Deficit Nursing Theory, this article illustrates ways for the nurse practitioner to prevent hazards, adapt institutional settings, and support successful independent living. It focuses on adapting the environment to the normal sensory physiological changes that occur with aging, and identifies some common pathological processes that concur with these los

摘要:

Caring for the overweight client requires a multifaceted approach. The nurse practitioner can help clients lose weight by providing them with strategies for reducing calorie intake, maintaining a healthy, balanced diet, exercising more, and developing positive behavioral and attitudinal changes. Weight reduction programs need to be individualized and clients should be periodically reassessed for changes in behaviors, eating patterns, and goals. Success in weight loss and maintenance requires a lifelong commitment to behavioral and nutritional changes. The goal of this article is to improve the clinician's understanding of the overweight person and to assist health care providers in counseling clients in weight reduction and maintenance.

摘要:

Ectopic pregnancy rates have increased threefold since 1970. Ectopic pregnancy continues to be the leading cause of maternal death in the first trimester of pregnancy. The identification of clients with ectopic pregnancies may be difficult. In this article, risk factors, assessment techniques, and treatment strategies are reviewed. A questionnaire is included for use during pregnancy verification to identify those clients who may be at risk of having an ectopic pregnancy. The role of the nurse practitioner in providing comprehensive care is also addressed.

摘要:

The continuing scientific controversy regarding the use of calcium supplements for the prevention of osteoporosis during menopause presents a challenge to the nurse practitioner. There is little doubt that estrogen prevents bone loss following menopause, but there is a growing doubt among many researchers whether calcium supplementation beyond 800 mg/ per day produces any benefit at all in preventing postmenopausal osteoporosis. Yet, the medical consensus in this country continues to recommend 1500 mg of calcium per day for menopausal women. The practitioner's clinical questions relate to the effectiveness, cost, and compliance of calcium prescription. An alternate recommendation and protocol are presented here.
