what would I want to know?

The knowledge of frontline nurses that they gather from their interactions
with patients is critical to reducing medical errors and
improving patient outcomes.
• Involving nurses at a variety of levels across the acute care setting in decision
making and leadership benefits the patient, improves the organizations in which
nurses practice, and strengthens the health care system in general.
• Increasing the time that nurses can spend at the bedside is an essential
component of achieving the goal of patient-centered care.
• High-quality acute care settings require integrated systems that use technology
effectively while increasing the efficiency of nurses and affording them increased
time to spend with patients.
• Multidisciplinary care teams characterized by extensive and respectful
collaboration among team members improve the quality, safety, and effectiveness
of care.
• Many of the innovations that need to be implemented in the health care system
already exist somewhere in the United States, but barriers to their dissemination
keep them from being adopted more widely. As Dr. Marilyn Chow observed, “the
future is here, it just isn’t everywhere.”

The ejection fraction (EF) refers to the amount, or percentage, of blood that is
pumped (or ejected) out of the ventricles with each contraction.
Ejection Fraction Numbers:
50-75% Heart's pumping ability is Normal
36-49% Heart's pumping ability is Below Normal
35% and Below Heart's pumping ability is Low

Health Teaching: Instruct the patient about sodium restriction, weight
maintenance or reduction, alcohol restriction, stress management, and
exercise. If necessary, also explain about the need to stop using tobacco,
especially smoking. Provide oral and written information about the
indications, dosage, times for administration, side effects, and drug
interactions for antihypertensives. Stress that medication must be taken
as prescribed and that when all of it has been consumed, the prescription
must be renewed on a continual basis. Suddenly stopping drugs such as
beta blockers can result in angina (chest pain), myocardial infarction (MI),
or rebound hypertension. Also urge patients to report unpleasant side
effects, such as excessive fatigue, cough, or sexual dysfunction. In many instances, an alternative drug can be prescribed to minimize certain side
effects. Ignatavicius Workman. Medical-Surgical Nursing.

Five Keys for Quitting Smoking
Studies have shown that these five
steps will help you quit and quit for
good. You have the best chances of
quitting if you use them together.
• Get Ready.
Get Support.
Learn new skills and behaviors.
Get medication and use it correctly.
Be prepared for relapse or difficult situations.

Tobacco dependence syndrome
http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/1859602
• World Health Forum. 1991;12(1):70-2.
• Implications of the tobacco dependence syndrome for smoking
control programmes.
• Ramström LM, Masironi R.
• Institute for Tobacco Studies, Stockholm, Sweden.
• Abstract
• Motivational and psychosocial treatments for tobacco dependence,
while valuable, are not sufficient to solve nicotine-related problems,
which usually require a pharmacological approach. There is also a
need for training programmes for health workers and major
educational campaigns on the nature of tobacco dependence to be
directed at opinion leaders, teachers and the public at large.
