摘要:

Nurses involved in primary health care are called upon to assess the patient who may present with signs and symptoms of the alcohol withdrawal syndrome. The purposes of this article are to define the alcohol withdrawal syndrome in terms of its two major phases, to review the underlying pathophysiology of the clinical manifestations, to describe conditions and influences which complicate and/or aggravate the syndrome, and to provide the reader with a rational approach to assessment of a patient in acute alcohol withdrawal. The rationale for general treatment measures is briefly discussed.

摘要:

A study to identify factors which put young, sexually active women at risk to develop a urinary tract infection (UTI) was done. Reported here are differences in sexual behaviors in the study and control groups.All subjects were currently sexually active. Study subjects had a urine culture of > 105single pathogen species. Control subjects were healthy women seeking preventive health care services. Both groups completed a self-administered questionnaire consisting of demographic data, past personal and family history, health status, habits of daily living and sexual activity and behaviors.Data analysis results showed that women who develop a UTI were more sexually active than their counterparts who did not. The data also indicate that increased coital activity preceded a UTI, and that the female superior position was used more frequently. Other coital activities and related sexual behaviors tested were not significantly different in the two groups, nor were they associated with the onset of a urinary tract infection.The results of this pilot study indicate a potential need to review the content of current preventive health teaching about UTIs. The validity of these findings must be further investigated before a conclusive statement or recommendations can be made.

摘要:

One goal of nursing has always been to improve the quality of health care. This goal has resulted in myriad attempts to evaluate both nurses and nursing care, determine outcomes and goals, establish criteria, and develop measurement tools. Since Derry-berry first documented the evaluation of nursing care in 1939,1evaluations have focused on the provider, the consumer, the outcomes, and the process of providing care; but all have had as their central purpose the benefit of the client through the improvement of health care.The importance of quality assurance is reflected not only in nursing literature, but also in the recent development of PSROs, Medicaid/Medicare regulations, certification, and mandatory continuing education for health professionals. At the 1978 American Nurses' Association Convention, the House of Delegates pledged “to work aggressively on improving the quality of health care, and that of nursing care in particular, through peer review.”2
