The CRNI Certification Examination consists of 200 multiple-choice questions covering the nine core content areas of infusion nursing: Technology and Clinical Applications, Fluid and Electrolyte Balance, Pharmacology, Infection Control, Pediatrics, Transfusion Therapy, Antineoplastic Therapy, Parenteral Nutrition, and Quality Assurance. The review questions provided below are modeled on the CRNI exam and are intended to help exam candidates test their knowledge of infusion therapy practice.

摘要:

Quality of life (QOL) has become an increasingly popular outcome measure in healthcare during the past 20 years. Despite its growing popularity, there is no professional agreement regarding definitions, conceptual models, or instrumentation. Many patient populations have been studied, but there has been minimal investigation of health-related QOL in patients receiving homecare, especially home infusion services. This study, which used the Ferrans and Powers Cancer Index III, explored QOL in cancer patients receiving home infusion therapies for at least 30 days. Although no statistically significant improvements in QOL were identified, the study was useful in pinpointing relevant issues for future QOL investigation in homecare and home infusion.

摘要:

The aging population provides a unique challenge for the initiation and maintenance of infusion therapy. This article will highlight three common but controversial issues that have been observed by this author in the long-term/subacute care realm of infusion therapy: 1) the failure to maintain a sterile dressing over the catheter insertion site; 2) the use of heparin to maintain patency of the peripheral infusion device; and 3) the routine replacement of peripheral IV catheters. Several factors that contribute to the controversies will be discussed, along with some associated negative and positive outcomes.

Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is a chronic condition that often presents in adolescence. The characteristic manifestations, exacerbations, and treatment of the disease affect the adolescent’s physical, physiological, and psychological development. Body image, self-esteem, and dependence/independence issues may lead to noncompliance, further complicating the disease process and its management. This article will review IBD and present treatment options and interventions in the care of the adolescent with IBD.
