When a person is in chronic pain, not only are they physically affected but also emotionally and financially. Studies estimate that 70 million visits to healthcare providers were motivated by pain and that 4.9 million people visited a healthcare provider for treatment of chronic pain, all at an estimated cost exceeding $100 billion. Overall, the quality of life of an individual suffering from pain is deeply affected. Despite advanced studies on pain and development of new medications and technology have been made over the years, pain still continues to be one of the major healthcare problems in the US.

Examples include sustained reduction in central line-associated bloodstream infections (CLABSIs) by 70%, simply by ensuring adherence to available guidelines. Reductions have been demonstrated for other HAIs as well, but, much more remains to be done. Wherever patient care is provided, adherence to infection prevention guidelines is needed to ensure that all care is safe care. This includes traditional hospital settings as well as outpatient surgery centers, long-term care facilities, rehabilitation centers, and community clinics. For nurses, the simplest but most effective way of preventing the spread of HAI's is frequent and proper handwashing. Adhering to the routine of washing one's hands every after patient and procedure goes a long way not only for ourselves but also for our patients.

Does this settlement raise a risk of an impossible standard for preparedness for our hospitals and community health facilities? Matt and Rick join Nursing Show host Jamie Davis as they shift the conversation into a broader look at preparedness beyond the Katrina incidents and aftermath. What is your preparedness level and how well do you know how your facility's response plan? This is one of the lessons to be learned by the individual nurse out there. A lot of difficult decisions about patient care have to be made during any extreme disaster event. Holding a normal standard of care against care givers when resources are severely compromised or reduced is impractical at best and ridiculous at worst.  Listen to this week's discussion and you can also catch last week's discussion as part 1 of our Discussion on Katrina Hospital Lawsuit Settlement (http://www.nursingshow.com/?p=4629).

During the time of hurricane Katrina, Memorial Medical Center in New Orleans was out of power, running water and temperature rose to 100 degrees. Reports of inadequate triage processes for evacuation and lack or leadership quickly followed. Eventually, forty-five bodies were found in the devastated health center during recovery efforts. Physician Anna Pou together with two other nurses allegedly "hastened" the patients' deaths by injecting them with lethal doses of morphine. Pou defended herself by saying she merely helped the patients through their pain and holds that stand up until now. A recent court decision required the institution to pay an amount of $25 million to the individuals who took shelter at that hospital and sustained injuries and died. This decision was based upon the lack of preparedness of the hospital for such disasters and its failure to operate in a highly emergent situation.

As the podmedic and nurse Rob talk about the book, they touch on the features in store for the readers such as each chapter having exercises and things that nurses can use in their specific practice. Rob also shares the different things, challenges and surprising discoveries about social media as he was in the process of creating the contents for his book, his message to those in the nursing profession who are still hesitant to use social media as part of the communication aspect in patient care, lessons learned in writing this book, and resources on where the book can be found and availed.

The discussion started off last week with  the definition of a national nurse, the history of how the idea came about, and the importance of having a national nurse for the nursing profession and the community at large. The discussion moves on into the presence of an international nurse for the US which is the chief nurse of the public health service. Though this position represent US nurses in international conventions, most of the public is unaware of this and  there is only so much that the person in position can do as opposed to the proposed national nurse position. They also touched on how giving future nurses, the present nursing students, the vision of pushing this movement forward as well as providing resources they can follow up on for better understanding of the issue.

Other than coffee, drinks containing caffeine include tea, cola soft drinks and energy drinks. The most common symptoms following the ingestion of large doses are nausea and vomiting, which can be severe and protracted. Caffeine is a diuretic so consuming large amounts can lead to dehydration. With very large doses, more serious effects can occur, including dysrhythmias such as supraventricular tachycardia, atrial fibrillation, and ventricular tachycardia, seizures, metabolic acidosis, low potassium levels and cardiovascular collapse. for more information on caffeine overdoses, follow the links below.

A dramatic increase in the use of stimulants occurred in the 1950s associated with the development of other psychotropic medications, including antipsychotics and antidepressants. Although stimulant medication is commonly used for intellectually normal children with ADHD, stimulant use in children with cognitive deficits has emerged over the last decade as well-designed studies demonstrating efficacy have been published. The side effects of stimulant medication include appetite suppression with possible weight loss, which, when excessive, can decrease height growth. The cardiovascular system is also stimulated, including heart rate and blood pressure. Children on stimulant medication should be seen by their physicians at least every four to six months to monitor height, weight, and cardiovascular parameters.

This new drug is being sold over the internet and in convenience stores, gas stations, gift shops, tobacco stores, head shops,  and other local establishments under such brand names as “Ivory Wave”, “Vanilla Sky”, “Red Dove”, “Zoom”, “Bloom”, “Cloud Nine”, “Blue Silk”, “Ocean Snow”, “White Lightening”, “Scarface” and “Hurricane Charlie”. The packages are labeled “bath salts” and “not for human consumption” to disguise the true intent of the product, but they are being promoted and used as cocaine substitutes. Find out more about bath salts in this episode of the Nursing Show with Lisa Booze of the Maryland Poison Center.

These medications are used to treat patients with asthma. They work by relaxing the smooth muscles that line the airways. This makes the airways open wider and allows air to leave the lungs. These drugs also are used to relieve breathing problems associated with emphysema, chronic bronchitis, and other lung diseases. Some bronchodilators are inhaled, using a nebulizer or an inhalation aerosol. Others are taken as injections or by mouth. Most are available only by prescription, but a few, such as ephedrine, can be bought over the counter. Examples of bronchodilators are albuterol (Proventil, Ventolin), epinephrine (Primatene),ipratropium (Atrovent), metaproterenol (Alupent, Metaprel), and terbutaline (Brethine) Some side effects that nurses might take into consideration with the use of bronchodilators include dry and irritation of the throat and dry mouth. It is important to advise the patient to take sips of water, gargling or rinsing the mouth after each dose.

The same thing goes with stroke. One way to do it is living a healthy lifestyle through proper diet, exercise. For patients who are highly predisposed to stroke, it is important that they set up attainable goals that will help them modify their lifestyle, make that a habit and make that habit permanent. Proper management of non-modifiable factors for stroke like  will also decrease an individual's chances of having a stroke since the disease will be well under control and prevent it to progressing at a further advanced stage as in a stroke. Overall, educating the public and making them aware of the pathophysiology of stroke, the causes, risk factors and what happens after a stroke will make them more conscious of their family's health practices and their own.

This should not be a surprise to anyone when you look at the physiology associated with the body's stress reaction (sympathetic nervous system). However, while you need more blood sugar in your system when preparing to run from a tiger, the evolutionary reason for the response, this doesn't translate when talking about attacks on the brain associated with either ischemic or hemorrhagic strokes. High blood sugar encourages metabolic acidosis and may facilitate broader cell lysis during times of injury.

Signs and symptoms of stroke include sudden numbness or weakness, especially on one side of the body; sudden confusion or trouble speaking or understanding speech; sudden trouble seeing in one or both eyes; sudden trouble with walking, dizziness, or loss of balance or coordination; or sudden severe headache with no known cause. Early management and diagnosis of a stroke is essential to a good prognosis. One must consider the presence of risk factors that could predispose an individual to a stroke event such as chronic hypertension, atrial fibrillation and diabetes. Acute stroke therapies try to stop a stroke while it is happening by quickly dissolving the blood clot causing an ischemic stroke or by stopping the bleeding of a hemorrhagic stroke. Medication or drug therapy used to prevent or treat stroke are antithrombotics (antiplatelet agents and anticoagulants) and thrombolytics. For more information on stroke and stroke management, nurses and nursing students can follow the links provided below.

More importantly, they are also the best vectors for the spread of hospital acquired infections. As defined by the CDC, Healthcare-associated infections (HAIs) are infections caused by a wide variety of common and unusual bacteria, fungi, and viruses during the course of receiving medical care. Examples include sustained reduction in central line-associated bloodstream infections (CLABSIs) by 70%, simply by ensuring adherence to available guidelines. Reductions have been demonstrated for other HAIs as well, but, much more remains to be done. Wherever patient care is provided, adherence to infection prevention guidelines is needed to ensure that all care is safe care. This includes traditional hospital settings as well as outpatient surgery centers, long-term care facilities, rehabilitation centers, and community clinics. For nurses, the simplest but most effective way of preventing the spread of HAI's is frequent and proper handwashing. Adhering to the routine of washing one's hands every after patient and procedure goes a long way not only for ourselves but also for our patients.

However,these substances that are mistaken to be toxic, only cause GI upsets and are not lethal at all. Common household items like petroleum jelly, silica gel, Poinsettia, toothpaste and bleach are just some of them. As nurses, we should know about what's toxic and what's not to be able to educate the public on which items they should be extra careful with, how to handle GI upsets, and also reduce anxiety and panic especially in parents with children who accidentally ingested chemicals that are actually non-toxic.

Basing on these statistics, there is a large population out there that are using medications for mental disorders. One of the more commonly prescribed type of these medications are anti-psychotics. These medications help patients with psychosis lead a more normal and fulfilling life by alleviating such symptoms as hallucinations, both visual and auditory, and paranoid thoughts. However, there are side-effects accompanying these medications. Anti-psychotics are further classified into subtypes, the more recently developed antipsychotic medications have much lesser side effects though the earlier released type is still being used. For more information on the types of anti-psychotics, common medications and brands, side effects, contraindications and nursing care for patients taking these drugs, follow the links provided below.

In this episode, nurses and nursing students will be provided a review on the basic blood components, its normal values, what abnormal values indicate and most importantly, the nursing responsibilities and considerations in a CBC lab order.

Before hypertension reaches its complications, patients with hypertension are given medications to be taken everyday to maintain their blood pressure at normal. There are different antihypertensives given to individual patients. Though these all work to lower the blood pressure, it differs in the mechanism in which they work. The types of antihypertensives include beta blockers, calcium channel blockers, ACE inhibitors, diuretics, adrenergic modifiers, Angiotensin II receptor blockers and other combination medications.

Amy is a practicing midwife in Connecticut and believes  that understanding “evidence-based maternity care” requires a certain proficiency in sorting out the good studies from the bad. Scientific evidence can help us clarify best practices, but much of the available evidence is limited, flawed, or even biased. Her blog, Science and Sensibility, aims to spread the word about new important studies and to help maternity care reform advocates hone their ability to critically analyze research. With better understanding of research, health professionals can improve the health and care of women and infants in pregnancy, birth and beyond.

Basically, it is defines as the ego's response to to protect against anxiety. Defense mechanisms are thought to safeguard the mind against feelings and thoughts that are too difficult for the conscious mind to cope with. A common defense mechanism is denial. Patients tend to convince themselves that everything will be okay. This type of defense mechanism is displayed by patients who have just been diagnosed with a terminal illness, or loved of patients who are near death. Another is displacement. It is diverting one's emotions to something or someone less threatening to them instead of dealing with the original problem directly. An example of this is a person who had just been reprimanded at work by their boss throws everything they get their hands on when they get back to the office. There are more defense mechanisms displayed not only by psychological patients but also for people who are in a high level of anxiety. The key to dealing with this is to identify the defense mechanisms displayed by the patient through listening and understanding carefully what the patient tells the nurse during the interview process and using the appropriate therapeutic communication techniques.

It explores the patient's personal history including the presenting problem, when it started, medical and psychological history, substance abuse, mental status evaluation, and more. In assessing behavioral or psychological patients, nurses should keep in mind the communication techniques for these types of patients watch out for defense mechanisms displayed by the person interviewed and be able to get through those barriers for a more effective assessment. To get the most out of the interview, nurses should start with open ended questions and proceed with leading questions focusing on the patient's feelings. Since the mental and emotional stability of the patient can not be ensured, it is best to conduct the assessment process in a safe environment such as the nurse will not be in a cornered area and the objects that can pose physical threat are not within the patient's reach.

This medication is mainly used for minor pain and aches and for fever reduction. Since this is a common drug taken by most people, nurses should be aware of the basics of this drug to be able to provide the correct information to patients and avoid overdosing or under dosing on the drug. Knowing information like how it works, its interactions with other drugs, and contraindications is also necessary to avoid unwanted side effects that can arise.

The first thing that nurses and nursing students should understand is how patient communication is defined and the concepts and theories revolving on patient communication. The factors affecting how effective our communication skills are and understanding the message conveyed to us by our patients and see beyond words is also important.

In some cases, it may be helpful to look for empty pill bottles or containers that may probably be the substance involved. However, in situations where we cannot find such evidence, we should focus on the symptoms that the patient is exhibiting. In considering toxicological cause, there are toxic syndromes that we can watch for. Toxic syndromes or toxidromes are groups of signs and symptoms that suggest certain types of drugs or chemicals as the cause. Looking at vital signs and symptoms involving the central nervous system, gastrointestinal system, eyes, skin and mucous membranes, and genitourinary system can provide clues to the toxicological origin of the patient’s illness. The four toxidromes that health care providers should know about include anticholinergic, cholinergic, opioid and sympathomimetic or stimulant toxidrome. For more details on toxidromes and nursing care, follow the links provided below.

In other words, it is the study of how the drug moves into the body from the point of administration as it goes into the different parts of the body then broken down and later on released via the involved organs involved in the excretory system. Pharmacodynamics on the other hand is defined as the study of the biochemical and physiological effects of drugs and the mechanisms of their actions, including the correlation of their actions and effects with their chemical structure. It is the study of the effects of substances or drugs to the body. As nurses, it is important to have knowledge of the pharmacodynamics and pharmacokinetics of drugs to better understand how they work in the body and how they affect physiological processes. This knowledge can be applied in assessing our patients on their response to medications and to better explain to patients how their medications work and why it is important to adhere to them.

This habit makes them susceptible to acquiring infections, choking and most importantly, poisoning. Although most of the poisonings are unintentional exposures when the child gains access to a product or drug, many therapeutic errors are also reported to poison centers. Giving double doses or the wrong dose, or the wrong medicine, measuring out the wrong amount are all common reasons for these therapeutic errors. Nurses attending to children coming in should carefully asses the child for symptoms that may appear. Taking the history of ingestion from the parent or guardian is also helpful in the assessment and prediction of the possible effects of the substance to the child. Before discharge, nurses should always remember to remind the adults looking after the child to keep medications out of children's reach and in locked cabinets where they can not easily be accessed by a child. Household cleaners and other home chemicals should also be stored safely away from where children can get them. These measures if taken by all adults with children in their homes could greatly reduce the occurrence of pediatric poisonings.

This inflammation causes airways to tighten and narrow, which blocks air from flowing freely into the lungs, making it hard to breathe. Symptoms include wheezing, breathlessness, chest tightness, and cough, particularly at night or after exercise/activity. Asthma usually has many causes or triggers. The triggers that may result to the occurrence of asthma include respiratory infections, allergens, irritants, weather changes, activities, GERD, upper airway inflammation and emotional factors. A high percentage of children with asthma also has some type of allergy, the allergy isn't always the primary cause of asthma. Even if allergies are not primary triggers for asthma they can still make symptoms worse. The goals of asthma therapy are to prevent chronic and troublesome symptoms, to maintain lung function as close to normal as possible, maintenance of normal physical activity levels, to prevent recurrent asthma attacks and to reduce the need for emergency department visits or hospitalizations, and to provide medicines that give the best results with the fewest side effects. Medications for asthma include inhaled corticosteroids, and long-acting bronchodilators. For more information, nurses and nursing students should follow the links below.

Common allergens include pollen, dust mites, mold spores, certain types of food, insect stings and medications. Allergies can cause a runny nose, sneezing, itching, rashes, swelling or asthma. Symptoms vary. Although allergies can make you feel bad, they usually won't kill you. However, a severe reaction called anaphylaxis is life-threatening. There are tests that can be done to determine if a person is hypersensitive to a a substance. Types of tests are in vivo or skin/scratch test, in vitro or the measurement of specific IgE antibodies, and provocation testing where an allergen is introduced one at a time and the subject is observed for presence of reactions. Though allergic reactions can resolve on its own, the symptoms that it produces may be rather discomforting. Medications that can be given to resolve hypersensitivity include Corticosteroids, Antihistamines, Decongestants, and other medications that work by blocking symptom-causing chemicals released during an allergic reaction such as Montelukast, Cromolyn Sodium and Mast cell stabilizers. Immunotherapy or allergy shots can also be done to desensitize the patient to decrease or eliminate the need for medications. For patients with severe allergic reactions or anaphylaxis, epinephrine shots may be given.

Though atrial flutter is somewhat similar with atrial fibrillation, the underlying mechanism of atrial flutter makes it amenable to cure this arrhythmia with percutaneous catheter-based techniques In atrial fibrillation, the atria are stimulated to contract very quickly and differently from the normal pattern. The impulses are sent to the ventricles in an irregular pattern. This makes the ventricles beat abnormally, leading to an irregular (and usually fast) pulse. In atrial flutter, the ventricles may beat very fast, but in a regular pattern. Causes of atrial flutter include cardiac issues like RHD, CHD, left ventricular dysfunction and postcardiac surgery. Other disorders like thyroid disease, obesity, pulmonary disease and PE have been associated with atrial fibrillation and flutter.

They are very commonly prescribed and very commonly involved in unintentional as well as intentional overdoses. Nurses should keep an eye on patients taking calcium channel blockers for symptoms of overdose include confusion, dizziness, confussion, arrhythmia, slurred speech, bradycardia, SOB and weakness. To resolve the symptoms, hospital protocols for bradycardia and hypotension should be followed, and may include atropine, epinephrine, norepinephrine, other vasopressors and IV fluids. Calcium and Glucagon may also be given as antidotes to calcium channel blockers. For patients following treatment of overdose, calcium levels should be monitored and observed for complications of overaggressive calcium administration. Refer to the links below for more on calcium channel blockers overdose.

Normally, the level enzymes looked at in this study are low. In case of injury to the heart muscle, the enzymes and proteins leak out of damaged heart muscle cells, and their levels in the bloodstream rise. These tests are done to confirm diagnosis of a suspected impending heart attack especially if the patient complains of chest pain, shortness of breath, nausea and abnormal ECG results. Electrolytes on the other hand not only affect organs related to fluid regulation but also to the heart. Take for instance the Potassium, it affects not only contractility of the skeletal muscles but also the muscles of the heart. Abnormal serum potassium levels can put a patient at risk for arrhythmias. Professional nurses and nursing students should always keep in mind the importance of these tests especially to patients at increased risk for cardiac arrest or MI and also remember the factors that can affect the test results like medications, recent activity, alcohol use, and other disease processes.

In this case, rapid, disorganized electrical signals cause the atria, the two upper chambers of the heart, to contract very rapidly. To better understand how atrial fibrillation happens, nurses and nursing students should brush up on their knowledge in cardiac anatomy and how electrical conduction in the heart works. The incidence of this condition becomes more common with age. Atrial fibrillation can be caused by alcohol use, CHF, CAD, heart surgery, hypertension, pericarditis, medications and valvular heart disease. Nurses in floor observing patients with heart risks should suspect atrial fibrillation if the patient presents with palpitations, SOB while lying down, confusion, dizziness, light headedness, fainting and fatigue.

Nursing students will have a follow-up on last week's tip in this week's episode on acute adrenal crisis. Acute adrenal crisis is a life threatening condition which arises from lack of production of cortisol by the adrenal glands. Nurses should be able to recognize the signs of the crisis early so that they can be prepared to initiate the supportive treatments necessary to sustain a patient while the causes are resolved. Adrenal crisis is different from the chronic conditions associated with Addison's disease. In contrast with Addison's disease, acute adrenal crisis does not only arise from damaged adrenal glands but also from other causes like injured pituitary glands, recently discontinued corticosteroid treatments, and untreated adrenal insufficiency.

It is a chemical that is intended to substitute marijuana and mimics its effects only more potent. It may be a mixture of herbal and spice plant products, but it is sprayed with a potent psychotropic drug and likely contaminated with an unknown toxic substance that is causing many adverse effects. Unlike marijuana, reactions from using K2 include agitation, anxiety, tachycardia, and elevated blood pressure. There are also synthetic/designer drugs out there like K2 that are contaminated with unknown substances and untested substances making it difficult to identify and predict its effects. Nurses should continuously assess these patients for unexpected adverse reactions and document their findings. Coordination with poison control centers and providing them the information gathered from these patients will help in providing effective nursing interventions and treatment and also to have reference for same cases that may be encountered in the future.

Cushing's Syndrome is a rare endocrine disorder involving chronically increased levels of cortisol, a hormone released by the adrenal cortex and one of the corticosteroids.  Cortisol is important in the regulation of insulin function, metabolizing of proteins and fats, and regulation of blood pressure.  Nurses should learn to recognize possible signs and symptoms of hypercortisolism or Cushing's Syndrome in a patient. Signs and symptoms may include obesity in just the torso, a round face, and neck fat. The arms and legs will appear normal.  Patients also may have thin, fragile skin and experience easy bruising and slow healing.  Their bones may also be weak and subject to stress fractures from normal daily activities. Other common signs and symptoms include * severe fatigue * weak muscles * high blood pressure * high blood glucose * increased thirst and urination * irritability, anxiety, or depression * a fatty hump between the shoulders For more information for nurses, students and their patients on Cushing's Syndrome and other Endocrine disorders, follow up with the linked resources below.
