Critique of "Pressure Ulcers: Prevalence, Staging, and Assessment of Risk"
[ send me this essay ]
A 4 page review of a research study seeking to determine the usefulness of standard risk assessment scales. The authors note that the Barthel Index provides an alternative to both the Norton and Braden scales, particularly among an older population. As pressure ulcers are increasingly common with advancing age, use of the Barthel Index could prove to be of particular appropriateness. The clinical significance of the study is that both the Norton and Braden scales are useful among the general hospital population and provide an indication of risk that is reliable enough to be used as the basis of prevention strategies. Bibliography lists 3 sources.

Cross Training in the Rural Maternity Unit
[ send me this essay ]
A 5 page proposal discussing an organizational change to make better use of available human resources. Rosewood Hospital is a very small, rural hospital facing staff utilization difficulties. The entire maternity ward consists of only two beds, but the hospital maintains a staff of two full-time and two part-time maternity RNs. It would seem that this is quite enough, and it is in the absence of the need on the part of any maternity nurse to miss a scheduled shift. The purpose here is to propose an organizational change involving the cross training of another nurse. This solution meets maternity’s short-notice needs while yet allowing the non-maternity functions of the hospital to remain fully staffed during training. Bibliography lists 8 sources.
