摘要:

Radon is a colorless, odorless gas formed by radioactive decay of radium and uranium, which are naturally present in the earth's crust. When concentrated indoors, this invisible gas becomes a potential health hazard. The Environmental Protection Agency estimates that up to 20,000 lung cancer deaths annually can be attributed to prolonged radon exposure. Radon is an important health issue that should be understood by all health care professionals. This paper discusses some of the important issues regarding radon, such as the incidences of lung cancer believed to be attributable to radon, the high‐risk areas in the United States, federal safety guidelines, and public apathy. These issues and their impact on the health care required by professionals, especially nurse practitioners, are discusse

摘要:

A nurse practitioner (NP) program to improve postpartum appointment keeping in an outpatient family planning clinic is described and evaluated. The subjects (N= 59) were non‐high‐risk obstetric patients prescheduled to be seen at 6 weeks postpartum by the NP. Two groups were identified by convenience sampling: Group A (n= 25), the nonintervention group, and Group B (n= 34), the intervention group. Two types of intervention were used: a postpartum telephone call after discharge (n= 11), or a predischarge postpartum visit (n= 23). Results suggest that those in the intervention group were more likely to keep their appointments (p<.02); only the postpartum visit increased the probability of appointment keeping (p<.
