They talk about the changes and differences from the 2005 guidelines like the new 5th chain of survival link, the issue on changing the ratio to compressions in CPR, importance of minimizing interruptions in chest compressions, oxygenation and resuscitation, and more. For nurses, it is important to be aware and be informed of such changes so they could update themselves in the way they practice their skills to better provide quality care for our cardiac patients.

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.
