摘要:
This article presents a compilation of descriptive data on how work environments can affect reproductive capacity and outcome. A thorough background in issues relevant to reproductive health provides a basis for understanding the effects of work on pregnancy and the effects of pregnancy on work performance. The physical changes of pregnancy and the sequential events by trimester are discussed in relation to work demands and risks. A review of specific job-related risks is also presented, including various chemicals, infections and environmental agents. A third section focuses on the clinical application of taking occupational and reproductive histories, and on guidelines for preconception and pregnancy counseling.

摘要:
In recent years, the number of ectopic pregnancies in the United States has tripled, reaching epidemic proportions. This article reviews newly identified risk factors and procedures for clinical evaluation. It explains current diagnostic measures, including use of ultrasound technology and determination of serum human chorionic gonadotrophin levels. Differential diagnosis, clinical profiles, and updated medical and surgical treatments are described. Postoperative care is addressed, both from a physical and emotional standpoint. Prevention is discussed, and the role of the nurse practitioner in promoting women's health is outlined, including incorporation of tubal health histories into women's health care to more carefully identify women at risk for this complication of pregnancy.

摘要:
Non-nurse college graduates are admitted to the master's of science in nursing (MSN) degree program at the University of Tennessee, Knoxville (UTK). Over the years, a majority of these non-traditional students have chosen the family nurse practitioner clinical concentration. The purpose of this study was to compare non-traditional and traditional family nurse practitioner (FNP) graduates in terms of academic and career-development characteristics. The study population consisted of all 91 (48 non-traditional and 43 traditional) UTK FNP graduates from 1981 to 1986. Little difference was found between the two groups' academic success in the program, self-perceptions of clinical preparedness for practice, current participation in the workforce, and self-perceptions of acceptance from administrators, other nurses and physicians in current work settings. Several notable differences between the two groups were found. The non-traditional FNP graduates had higher Graduate Record Examination (GRE) mean scores. More non-traditional than traditional FNP graduates were employed initially as nurse practitioners. Similarly, more non-traditional FNP graduates were currently employed as nurse practitioners in primary health care settings. Fewer non-traditional FNP graduates expressed satisfaction with their initial or current nursing positions. In regard to career goals, however, more of the non-traditional FNP graduates stated their intent was to be functioning as nurse practitioners in the future. Non-nurse college graduates with an interest in health care are a rich resource from which to recruit practicing nurse practitioners for the future.
