Best practices in wound care prevention and treatment

Article Abstract:

Prevention and treatment of wounds take on a new urgency with the possibility of pay-for-performance looming in the near future, and though nurses know a lot about wound care and their expertise grows with age and experience, however, younger, less experienced nurses and those in certain patient care settings need more education about wound care. Responses of a study conducted by 'Nursing 2006' to examine whether nurses' latest practices reflect current best practice standards in wound care are also presented.

Hospitalists here to stay

Article Abstract:

The hospitalist movement, whereby dedicated impatient physician groups mange hospitalized patients, may significantly influence nurses. The movement would provide more efficient and more standard care to acute care patients, resulting in a collaborative working relationship with nurses and a safer environment for acutely ill patients.
