    Perinatal and Pediatric Bereavement in Nursing and Other Health Professions

    Book

    This book presents theoretical underpinnings of perinatal and pediatric bereavement, chapters on dimensions of perinatal and pediatric loss that have been of interest recently, and clinical interventions derived from research. It is divided into two sections. The first section has 10 chapters focusing on aspects of perinatal loss. It presents background content on various grief theories developed in the past five decades. These theories have expanded our understanding of the processes of death, dying, and bereavement. Grief after pregnancy loss can be more complicated for certain groups. The book provides a comprehensive overview of perinatal grief among lesbian couples and an overview of perinatal loss in adolescents, discussing normal adolescent growth and development, and using Sanders’s integrated theory of bereavement to discuss the common physical, emotional, social, and cognitive reactions to loss. The second section has eight chapters focusing on various aspects of caring for families whose children are dying or who have died, and caring for children who are grieving. Sometimes, the death of a child can occur under traumatic circumstances, setting the stage for very intense psychological responses. The book focuses on the impact of the cause of the death on posttraumatic stress responses and overall parental health after the traumatic loss of a child and describes supportive interventions for bereaved parents. Suicide is one of the most traumatic losses a family can experience. Finally, the book presents the importance of creating and capturing meaningful moments in the time leading up to and after the death of a child, focusing on the importance of relationships among families and professionals as they prepare for the child’s death.

    12-Lead Ekg Confidence, 3rd Edition:
    A Step-by-Step Guide

    Book

    The goal of this book is to teach the ability to form an autonomous and clinically useful opinion about any 12-lead electrocardiogram (EKG). It introduces basic principles of anatomy and physiology, including a review of the heart’s electrical system. The heart has an intricate electrical system, made up of highly specialized cells, that is responsible for generating each heart beat. The heart’s electrical system consists of five structures: the sinoatrial (SA node), the atrioventricular (AV node), the bundle of His, the right and left bundle branches, and the Purkinje fibers. One of the most basic yet important pieces of information the EKG provides is the heart rate (HR). The most accurate way to measure heart rate is by measuring the R-R interval. Learning the normal electrical direction of forces in the heart provides a simple and scientific way of understanding and interpreting an EKG. The book also discusses vital elements of cardiology, such as atrial and ventricular arrhythmias, conduction abnormalities and heart block, ischemic and nonischemic disorders, and more. It explains various types of heart blocks such as premature atrial contraction, sinus arrest and asystole, and various types of pacemakers such as ventricular pacemaker and artrial pacemakers. Drug effects and toxicities, electrolyte imbalances, trauma, pericardial diseases, lung disease, cancer, cardiomyopathies, and systemic diseases are conditions that can cause specific changes on the EKG.

    Transitioning From LPN/LVN to BSN

    Book

    This book is a response that fosters education, practice development, and professionalism. The bachelor of science in nursing (BSN) is the essential educational foundation to give nurses the knowledge to improve health outcomes and provide the highest quality care. It provides the essentials of nursing theory and the importance of having a philosophy of nursing that informs our professional role. The book is written to assist with the transition from the role of the LPN to the baccalaureate-prepared registered nurse (RN). Licensed practical nurses (LPNs) who enter a university to advance their education through seeking a baccalaureate of nursing degree often find the experience of socializing into the new professional role challenging. The book analyzes the change process, discusses Benner’s stages of clinical competence, examines the philosophy of nursing and describes stress reduction measures. The terms leadership and management are described, and the role of the baccalaureate-prepared nurse as leader and manager is explored. Finally the book talks about the Skill Competencies required for the Baccalaureate-Prepared Nurse-electronic health records (EHRs); the Technology Informatics Guiding Education Reform (TIGER) Movement; Simulated E-Health Delivery System (SEEDS) and Nursing Informatics Education Model (NIEM). The Quality and Safety Education for Nurses (QSEN) program was created in 2005 by an expert panel of nursing educators with the aim of preparing future nurses to continuously advance the quality and safety of the health care system in which they practice. The group developed six core competencies to be incorporated into nursing curricula: client-centered care; teamwork and collaboration; evidence-based practice; quality improvement; safety; and informatics.

    The Expert’s Best-Practice Guide in a Nutshell

    Book

    Infusion therapy can be delivered safely and effectively in the home setting.

As an invaluable resource, this book can provide the framework for an effective home infusion therapy program that ensures optimal outcomes and patient safety. The first part of the book addresses the foundations of home infusion therapy. It describes the author’s model for safe infusion therapy, which provides a framework for the subsequent chapters. This model predicts that positive outcomes, including the absence of infusion therapy-related complications, patient satisfaction, and health care provider satisfaction, are maximized when four aspects of care are addressed during the home care planning process and during the process of providing care. The part discusses the importance of patient education. The role that patients and caregivers play in home infusion therapy is what makes home care unique.

The second part of the book addresses access devices and methods, including peripheral catheters, the growing use of midline catheters, and central vascular access devices, as well as subcutaneous infusion and intrathecal catheters. The final part of the book includes a chapter on infusion methods and issues followed by infusion therapy-specific chapters. Each of these chapters follows a similar format based upon the author’s model.

  • Fast Facts on Adolescent Health for Nursing and Health Professionals Go to book: Fast Facts on Adolescent Health for Nursing and Health Professionals

    Fast Facts on Adolescent Health for Nursing and Health Professionals:
    A Care Guide in a Nutshell

    Book

    The years that encompass the period of adolescence are largely socially constructed and dependent upon the norms, beliefs, and behaviors of society. Adults interacting with teens, whether in their personal or professional lives, know the rewards, challenges, and sometimes the mysteries of these experiences. This book is designed to assist nursing and health care professionals to understand and to be successful in these interactions, to have positive impacts on teens, and to advocate effectively for youth. Teen development is an ongoing process of engagement with friends, adults, and institutions, and teens’ own perspectives that frame their individual responses, thoughts, and actions. Knowledge of brain development helps us to understand some aspects of teen behavior characteristic of early, middle, and late adolescence. Adolescent development, factors affecting teen health, suggestions for working and communicating with teens, and issues impacting adolescents in six holistic health domains, namely physical, intellectual, emotional, spiritual, sexual, and relational are addressed in the book. Selected issues facing teens with acute and chronic illness, matters associated with teens and technology, legal and ethical issues, and the marginalization of youth challenge readers to ponder their perceptions about adolescents.

    Sleep Disorders and Sleep Promotion in Nursing Practice

    Book

    This book emphasizes the importance of sleep across states of health, health care settings, and at all stages of human development.
