摘要:

SCUD attacks were one of many challenges this pediatric nurse practitioner (NP) and Air Force Reserve flight nurse faced daily during Desert Shield and Desert Storm. Providing nursing care to sick and injured patients on board a C141 transport plane en route from Saudi Arabia to Germany was her primary responsibility. Additionally, many hours were spent filling sandbags, attending in‐service classes, and practicing putting on a gas mask and protective suit. Although the war has been over for almost 3 years, the effects are long lasting. The author was able to use her wartime experience positively to gain insight into survival in today's violent society. As violence increases, NPs must reshape their focus and educate their clients about surviva

摘要:

Ectopic pregnancy remains a diagnostic and management challenge for nurse practitioners. The incidence and physiology of ectopic pregnancy, the current research on risk factors, detection methods, and management techniques, and counseling strategies are reviewed in this article.

摘要:

Psychological problems associated with bulimia nervosa affect both the client and the family. The nurse practitioner is often in a position to refer the client to a therapist who has experience in treating clients with eating disorders. The nurse practitioner and the therapist, along with the nutritionist, if available, need to work from the beginning as a team. Each team member must have a distinct role regarding management of specific aspects of client care in order to avoid confusion and attempted manipulation by the client.

摘要:

The purpose of this article is to describe the use of the Self‐Efficacy Scale for Battered Women (SESFBW) in the development of a treatment plan for the abused woman. The authors describe how the SESFBW was developed to assess the self‐efficacy needs of women (N= 43) who came to the emergency department with injuries and self‐reported current abuse. Four needs related to self‐efficacy were identified: a decreased ability to (a) talk to the nurse or doctor about the abusive situation, (b) call a shelter for abused women, (c) shrug off self doubts, and (d) express thoughts and feelings without fear. How data from a self‐efficacy assessment were used in developing a teaching plan and intervention is included. Pre‐ and posttest scores on the SESFBW of six battered women showed a significant increase in self‐efficacy scores at the completion of a group educational program. They conclude that the SESFBW is an easy and effective tool to assess self‐efficacy and can form the basis for developing an individualized teaching plan to increas
