The #RNchat discussion focused on two topics: 1) the link between 12-hour nursing shifts and medical errors, and 2) improving hand-off communication between healthcare professionals. For the first topic, nurses debated the pros and cons of 12-hour shifts, acknowledging studies showing increased errors but also that 12-hour shifts have become ingrained in nursing culture and schedules. For the second topic, nurses suggested standardized report forms and emphasized the importance of nurse-to-nurse communication over recorded reports. The discussion highlighted balancing research findings with the realities of nursing practice and patient safety.
This document summarizes an online chat between nurses discussing nursing issues and patient safety. The nurses welcome each other and introduce themselves. They then discuss how the nursing perspective could best be represented on an advisory board, the importance of patient safety, challenges with staffing ratios impacting care, and strategies for nurses to get more involved in social media and advocacy.
This document contains a transcript of a #RNchat Twitter discussion between nurses on February 7, 2013. Nurses introduced themselves and discussed whether robots could replace nurses as claimed in a blog post. Most nurses argued that while technology may replace some tasks, nursing requires human interaction, empathy, clinical judgment and bedside manner that robots cannot provide. The discussion highlighted the human aspects of nursing that are important to patients.

The discussion focused on a case involving two Nevada nurses who were wrongly accused of intentionally disrupting patients' catheters. Participants expressed concern that nurses have little protection when accused and are often used as scapegoats. It was noted that the hospital appeared to rush to judgment without investigating fully, and nursing organizations did not adequately support the nurses. The attorneys for the nurses were praised for their work to get the nurses' licenses reinstated.

This Twitter chat discussed nurses' uptake of the flu vaccine. The chat was hosted by #NurChat and @NHSFluFighter to promote vaccination among healthcare workers. Only 34.7% of healthcare staff were vaccinated last year despite 600 flu deaths. The chat aimed to understand why uptake is low and how to address myths and encourage vaccination to protect patients, families and colleagues. Participants debated making vaccination a requirement and ensuring adequate vaccine supplies. Most agreed it is nurses' duty to protect themselves and others from flu.

T1 We see more implantable defibrillators each year. How do we address turning it off during end-of-life palliative care?
T2 Does the Nursing Care Plan you use at work help to guide your nursing care or is it an additional task to complete each day?
This document summarizes a Twitter chat ("#RNchat") about how healthcare workplaces can help nurses deal with grief from patient deaths.
1) Nurses discussed how having extra staff help with patient care allows the primary nurse time to grieve with family and take a break. Grief support groups and counseling were also suggested.
2) Most agreed nursing education does not adequately prepare students for dealing with workplace grief. Storytelling from experienced nurses was proposed as a way to address this.
3) Whether current systems motivate hospitals to provide grief support is uncertain, though some nurses noted supportive policies at their institutions while others felt "grief time" may be seen as unproductive.

Lack of the ability to do just about anything else, led me to keep a short list of disability and chronic illness hashtags to help me have a better patient experience with both cancer and disability.
That list kept growing and growing. On a whim I shared it with my followers. They found it useful so I kept going. Every month I seem to discover another category of conditions that aren't covered in this guide.
So now it's a living document, updated quarterly, with community commentary and contributions welcome.

2. The agenda includes identifying trends in healthcare change, considering new change methods, and learning approaches to support change efforts.
3. Attendees will learn about opportunities in healthcare improvement, and take away additional tools to make their work more effective. The goal is to help leaders and practitioners adapt to changes in the fields of healthcare and organizational change.
Revised workshop with additional PM slidesNHS Horizons
The document outlines an agenda for a conference on approaches to change. It discusses emerging approaches for change that are needed in today's environment where change is happening more rapidly. Some of the new approaches mentioned include focusing on 30-60-90 day change projects instead of longer multi-year projects, and using rapid tests and prototypes instead of longer pilots. It also emphasizes the importance of digital skills, networks of people who want to contribute to change, and empowering "rebels" and "mavericks" to drive change from the edges of organizations.

This document summarizes a Twitter discussion between nurses during an #RNchat event on August 19, 2010. Nurses from different specialties introduced themselves and discussed two topics: reducing catheter-associated UTIs and views on unlimited family visiting in hospitals. For the first topic, nurses shared what their facilities do to minimize foley catheter use and prevent UTIs. For the second topic, most nurses supported liberal visiting policies but noted families should not interfere with care or become overwhelmed themselves.
This Twitter chat document discusses a #RNchat discussion among nurses about reducing catheter-associated urinary tract infections (UTIs). Some key points:
- Catheter-associated UTIs are a Medicare "Never Event" that will no longer be reimbursed.
- Nurses described practices at their facilities to minimize catheter use and remove them as soon as possible to reduce UTIs. These included only using catheters when necessary, setting goals to remove them within 2 days, and teaching home catheter care.
- However, some nurses noted that some patients are still being sent home with indwelling catheters and minimal instructions, leading to problems. The discussion focused on preventing UTIs by optimizing catheter care

This document summarizes an #RNchat discussion on Twitter about the proposed National Nurse Act of 2010 and nursing degree requirements. Participants welcomed each other and introduced themselves as the discussion began. Regarding the National Nurse Act, most saw pros like increasing nursing's political leverage and changing public perception of the profession, though a few noted it could grow political. When asked about other countries' high-level nursing roles, one mentioned Scotland's health minister was formerly a nurse. The discussion then shifted to some Philadelphia hospitals requiring BSNs for new nurses.

Learning Objectives:
Describe the structure and function of taste buds.
Describe the relationship between the taste threshold and taste index of common substances.
Explain the chemical basis and signal transduction of taste perception for each type of primary taste sensation.
Recognize different abnormalities of taste perception and their causes.
Key Topics:
Significance of Taste Sensation:
Differentiation between pleasant and harmful food
Influence on behavior
Selection of food based on metabolic needs
Receptors of Taste:
Taste buds on the tongue
Influence of sense of smell, texture of food, and pain stimulation (e.g., by pepper)
Primary and Secondary Taste Sensations:
Primary taste sensations: Sweet, Sour, Salty, Bitter, Umami
Chemical basis and signal transduction mechanisms for each taste
Taste Threshold and Index:
Taste threshold values for Sweet (sucrose), Salty (NaCl), Sour (HCl), and Bitter (Quinine)
Taste index relationship: Inversely proportional to taste threshold
Taste Blindness:
Inability to taste certain substances, particularly thiourea compounds
Example: Phenylthiocarbamide
Structure and Function of Taste Buds:
Composition: Epithelial cells, Sustentacular/Supporting cells, Taste cells, Basal cells
Features: Taste pores, Taste hairs/microvilli, and Taste nerve fibers
Location of Taste Buds:
Found in papillae of the tongue (Fungiform, Circumvallate, Foliate)
Also present on the palate, tonsillar pillars, epiglottis, and proximal esophagus
Mechanism of Taste Stimulation:
Interaction of taste substances with receptors on microvilli
Signal transduction pathways for Umami, Sweet, Bitter, Sour, and Salty tastes
Taste Sensitivity and Adaptation:
Decrease in sensitivity with age
Rapid adaptation of taste sensation
Role of Saliva in Taste:
Dissolution of tastants to reach receptors
Washing away the stimulus
Taste Preferences and Aversions:
Mechanisms behind taste preference and aversion
Influence of receptors and neural pathways
Impact of Sensory Nerve Damage:
Degeneration of taste buds if the sensory nerve fiber is cut
Abnormalities of Taste Detection:
Conditions: Ageusia, Hypogeusia, Dysgeusia (parageusia)
Causes: Nerve damage, neurological disorders, infections, poor oral hygiene, adverse drug effects, deficiencies, aging, tobacco use, altered neurotransmitter levels
Neurotransmitters and Taste Threshold:
Effects of serotonin (5-HT) and norepinephrine (NE) on taste sensitivity
Supertasters:
25% of the population with heightened sensitivity to taste, especially bitterness
Increased number of fungiform papillae
These lecture slides, by Dr Sidra Arshad, offer a quick overview of the physiological basis of a normal electrocardiogram.
Learning objectives:
1. Define an electrocardiogram (ECG) and electrocardiography
2. Describe how dipoles generated by the heart produce the waveforms of the ECG
3. Describe the components of a normal electrocardiogram of a typical bipolar lead (limb II)
4. Differentiate between intervals and segments
5. Enlist some common indications for obtaining an ECG
6. Describe the flow of current around the heart during the cardiac cycle
7. Discuss the placement and polarity of the leads of electrocardiograph
8. Describe the normal electrocardiograms recorded from the limb leads and explain the physiological basis of the different records that are obtained
9. Define mean electrical vector (axis) of the heart and give the normal range
10. Define the mean QRS vector
11. Describe the axes of leads (hexagonal reference system)
12. Comprehend the vectorial analysis of the normal ECG
13. Determine the mean electrical axis of the ventricular QRS and appreciate the mean axis deviation
14. Explain the concepts of current of injury, J point, and their significance

Local Advanced Lung Cancer: Artificial Intelligence, Synergetics, Complex Sys...Oleg Kshivets
Overall life span (LS) was 1671.7±1721.6 days and cumulative 5YS reached 62.4%, 10 years – 50.4%, 20 years – 44.6%. 94 LCP lived more than 5 years without cancer (LS=2958.6±1723.6 days), 22 – more than 10 years (LS=5571±1841.8 days). 67 LCP died because of LC (LS=471.9±344 days). AT significantly improved 5YS (68% vs. 53.7%) (P=0.028 by log-rank test). Cox modeling displayed that 5YS of LCP significantly depended on: N0-N12, T3-4, blood cell circuit, cell ratio factors (ratio between cancer cells-CC and blood cells subpopulations), LC cell dynamics, recalcification time, heparin tolerance, prothrombin index, protein, AT, procedure type (P=0.000-0.031). Neural networks, genetic algorithm selection and bootstrap simulation revealed relationships between 5YS and N0-12 (rank=1), thrombocytes/CC (rank=2), segmented neutrophils/CC (3), eosinophils/CC (4), erythrocytes/CC (5), healthy cells/CC (6), lymphocytes/CC (7), stick neutrophils/CC (8), leucocytes/CC (9), monocytes/CC (10). Correct prediction of 5YS was 100% by neural networks computing (error=0.000; area under ROC curve=1.0).
Muktapishti is a traditional Ayurvedic preparation made from Shoditha Mukta (Purified Pearl), is believed to help regulate thyroid function and reduce symptoms of hyperthyroidism due to its cooling and balancing properties. Clinical evidence on its efficacy remains limited, necessitating further research to validate its therapeutic benefits.

so we don't have as much as a problem with it I think... #RNchat
NUR3563
@nursingpins I am going to agree with Vernon - no changes yet, too many
scared of not making $ - so decreased staffing. #RNChat

T2 - It is very hard to maintain standards - unfortunately I have seen the
integ. of nursing decline because of ridiculous staffing. #RNchat
renee_berry
RT @onlinenursing T2 same as always: Look for evidence/research, listen
to advocate for pt. family #innovate #rnchat

T2 - difficult, only a few (conscientious ones) would care to keep up b/c of
low staffing, increased pt. load. #RNchat
PerfectServeInc
@onlinenursing That can be tough to be innovative and cost cutting at the
same time. #RNChat
Gracetx
T2-challenge have to figure out what might not get done when hv less staff.
OR what can unskilled staff do if we have less nurses? #RNchat
NAPH1981
@renee_berry we have been lobbying to include everyone in care
coordination - nurses, physicians, social workers, you name it! T1 #RNchat
