摘要:

This study examined the effect of structured preoperative teaching on patients' understanding of patient-controlled analgesia (PCA) and their management of pain. The experimental group received a written pamphlet and structured preoperative teaching on the use of PCA to manage their pain. The control group received the usual preoperative preparation normally provided by the physician. Both groups were later asked to complete a posttest to determine how well they understood the use of PCA and how well they managed their pain. There was no statistically significant evidence that the experimental group's knowledge of PCA was different from that of the control group. However, there was significant evidence that the experimental group managed their pain better.

摘要:

Juvenile Rheumatoid Arthritis (JRA) is a chronic, inflammatory, autoimmune disease of childhood. Methotrexate is an emerging antirheumatic drug in the pediatric population for disease refractory to conventional medications. While observations are encouraging, the toxic side effects can be potentially serious. Toxicity includes gastrointestinal intolerance, ulcerative stomatitis, chemical hepatitis, minor liver fibrosis, infection, hematologic suppression, acute pneumonitis, reversible oligospermia, and cirrhosis. The liver toxicities are of the greatest concern. If proper dosage and monitoring are followed, serious toxic effects can be prevented from occurring.

摘要:

With the frequency and severity of violence against women, it is critically important to empower nurses and physicians with information on physical abuse as a cause of injury in women. The specific aim of this descriptive study was to determine if the cause of injury was from abuse in women presenting to the Emergency Department (ED) with injuries. This research describes the nature and mechanisms of injury by women who reported that their injury was from physical abuse by men. Recognizing domestic violence as a cause of injury and gaining an awareness of the type and mechanism of injury resulting from abuse will help empower orthopaedic nurses to be active in the prevention and treatment of domestic violence against women.

摘要:

Acetabular fractures are often associated with multiple life-threatening injuries. The initial assessment of the patient sets baseline data for all further nursing assessments. Optimal patient care requires that the nursing staff be knowledgeable about the anatomy of the acetabulum, the classification of fracture type, the influence of the mechanism of injury, and potential complications. A basic understanding of the surgical approach and relevant postoperative care is mandatory. Patients with acetabular fractures present a complex nursing challenge. Although nursing involvement may be limited to initial assessment and stabilization prior to transport to a different hospital, a knowledgeable nurse can make a difference in patient outcome.
