Abstract

Domestic violence affects the lives of many Americans, including children. It is imperative that primary care providers working with children, including pediatric nurse practitioners, understand the dynamics of domestic violence, recognize domestic violence, and intervene appropriately. Domestic violence places children at risk physically, emotionally, and developmentally. The effect on children who witness domestic violence will be discussed. Primary care providers have a professional responsibility to screen for domestic violence. The primary care provider can play a pivotal role in breaking the cycle of family violence by timely identification of and appropriate intervention for domestic violence. J Pediatr Health Care.

In this article, we shift away from RNs’ perceptions of the nursing shortage and focus on RNs’ perceptions of nursing. Among other things, RNs’ satisfaction with their jobs in general and on specific elements of their work experiences, including the quality of professional relationships, are investigated.

Abstract

Acute pain is a significant problem in the postoperative setting. Patients report a lack of information about pain-control measures and ineffective pain control. Nurses continue to rely on pharmacologic measures and tend to under-administer analgesics. The purpose of this study was to determine the strategies nurses used to manage patients’ pain in the postoperative setting. It also sought to examine the effect of context, including organization of care, nurses’ prioritization of work activities, and pressures during a working shift, on their pain-management strategies. An observational design was used in two surgical units of a metropolitan teaching hospital in Melbourne, Australia. Six fixed observation times were identified as key periods for pain activities, each comprising a 2-hour duration. An observation period was examined at least 12 times, resulting in the completion of 74 observations and the identification of 316 pain cases. Fifty-two nurses were observed during their normal day’s work with postoperative patients. Six themes were identified: managing pain effectively; prioritizing pain experiences for pain management; missing pain cues for pain management; regulators and enforcers of pain management; preventing pain; and reactive management of pain. The findings highlighted the critical nature of communication between clinicians and patients and among clinicians. It also demonstrated the influence of time on management strategies and the relative importance that nurses place on nonpharmacologic measures in actual practice. This research, which portrays what happens in actual clinical practice, has facilitated the identification of new data that were not evident from other research studies.

Diabetes mellitus type 1 is a degenerative disease, which is traditionally treated using insuline injections. These injections replace the missing hormone, but the complications can be far-reaching. Hyperglycemia is a common contributor to a number of complications like

* Heart and vascular diseases
* Eye and kidney complaints
* Poor vascularisation
* Damage to nerve cells (neuropathy)
* Diabetic feet
* High susceptibility for infections
* Erectile penile dysfunction

Diabetes type 2

Type 2 diabetes used to be known as maturity onset, or non-insulin dependent diabetes. Although type 2 diabetes typically affects individuals over the age of 40, today it occurs at an increasingly younger age, especially in people who have a family history of diabetes.

Diabetes mellitus type 2 is by far the most common form, affecting 85 - 90% of all people with diabetes. Experts estimate that nearly one-third of people who have type 2 diabetes don’t even know it. If the condition is left uncontrolled, the consequences (like with diabetes type 1) can be life threatening.
