Patient Safety and Quality: An Evidence-based Handbook for Nurses Nurses play a vital role in improving the safety and quality of patient care—not only in the hospital or ambulatory treatment facility, but also of community-based care and the care performed by family members. Nurses need know what proven techniques and interventions they can use to enhance patient outcomes. To address this need, the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ), with additional funding from the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation, has prepared this comprehensive, 1,400-page, handbook for nurses on patient safety and quality—Patient Safety and Quality: An Evidence-Based Handbook for Nurses. (AHRQ Publication No. 08-0043). Experts in the field reviewed the literature, and their contributions are grouped into these sections: Patient Safety and Quality / Evidence-based Practice / Patient-centered Care / Working Conditions—Work Environment / Critical Opportunities for Patient Safety and Quality / Tools Select to download the entire volume as a single file ( Edited by Ronda G.
Master Muscle List Home Page Clinical Cases and Images: ClinicalCases.org APA Style Blog by Chelsea Lee If you write about students in elementary, middle, or high school, then you’ve had to consider how to write grade numbers: eighth grade? 8th grade? Grade 8? In APA Style, the rules for presenting numbers apply to the presentation of grade numbers. Grade + a Numeral When the word grade is followed by a numeral, always capitalize grade and use a numeral for the grade number. Ordinal Number + Grade When writing a grade in its ordinal form, use words for Grades 1–9 and numerals for Grades 10, 11, and 12. However, if an ordinal number 10 or above starts a sentence, then use words. Also, if you are writing four or more grades in the same sentence, then use numerals for all of them. Hyphens With Grade Numbers Use a hyphen with a grade number when the ordinal form is used as a compound adjective before a noun. If several ordinal grades are presented in a series of compound adjectives, then use hyphens with each. Grade Names Without Numbers On the Value of Rephrasing

Witzelsucht Witzelsucht (from the German witzeln, meaning to joke or wisecrack, and sucht, meaning addiction or yearning) is a set of rare neurological symptoms characterized by a tendency to make puns, or tell inappropriate jokes or pointless stories in socially inappropriate situations. A less common symptom is hypersexuality, the tendency to make sexual comments at inappropriate times or situations. Patients do not understand that their behavior is unnatural, therefore are nonresponsive to others' reactions. This disorder is most commonly seen in patients with frontal lobe damage, particularly right frontal lobe tumors or trauma. Signs and symptoms[edit] Case studies[edit] Though witzelsucht is a rare condition, it has been well documented in at least two cases: Case #1: A 30 year old, right handed man was admitted to the department of neurology for irritability, inappropriate behavior, and morbid hyperphagia with obesity. Altered sense of humor[edit] Hypersexuality[edit] Functional behavior[edit]
