These factors affect each patient uniquely and aren't always separable.

Nursing Education During World War II

The Cadet Nurse Corps was established for nursing education and training during World War II.

LPN/LVN Educational Advancement

Articulation programs allow LPN/LVNs to gain advanced standing in RN programs without the full curriculum.

Florence Nightingale's Training

Florence Nightingale's initial nursing education was at the Kaiserswerth School.

Holistic Health Care

Holistic care considers physical, emotional, social, and spiritual needs of a patient.

LPN/LVN Organization

The NFLPN is the exclusive organization for LPN/LVN members, setting standards for their practice.

Providing compassionate and competent care is the best way to avoid a lawsuit.

DNR Orders and Legal Obligations

Nurses have a legal obligation to follow DNR orders, even if they disagree with them.

Ethical Considerations in Abortion Cases

Nurses facing ethical conflicts about abortions should ask for a different assignment.

Home Health Care Documentation

Multiple health care providers accessing home health records creates unique documentation challenges.

Long-Term Care Documentation Standards

OBRA regulates standards for long-term care documentation.

Confidentiality in Patient Records

Nurses have a clinical reason to read patient records. Confidentiality requires it.

Documentation and the Nursing Process

Documentation is necessary for evaluating patient care, primarily during the implementation phase.

Focus Charting

Focus charting utilizes patient problems as an index for documentation, rather than a problem list.

Quality Assurance (QA)

QA evaluates care against established standards.

Peer Review

Peer review appraises the professional practice of individuals in a department.

Problem-Oriented Medical Records

Problem-oriented medical records (POMR) use the SOAPE acronym for documentation format.

Legal Ownership of Patient Records

Hospitals/institutions are the legal owners of patient records.

Communication with Grieving/Terminally Ill Patients

In situations with grieving/dying patients, a calm and quiet presence provides effective communication.

Defining Characteristics of Patient Problems

A patient problem like impaired verbal communication requires one or more defining characteristics to be present.

Communication with Unresponsive Patients

When speaking to an unresponsive patient, assume their stimuli are heard.

Restating Patient Statements

Restating a patient's statement is a key technique to encourage more information from them.
