<h3>Background</h3> Medication errors are a national concern. <h3>Objective</h3> To identify the prevalence of medication (doses administered differently than ordered). <h3>Design</h3> A prospective cohort study. <h3>Setting</h3> Hospitals accredited by Joint Commission on Accreditation Healthcare Organizations, nonaccredited hospitals, and skilled nursing facilities in Georgia Colorado. <h3>Participants</h3> stratified random sample 36 institutions. Twenty-six declined, with replacement....
The validity and cost-effectiveness of three methods for detecting medication errors were examined. A stratified random sample 36 hospitals skilled-nursing facilities in Colorado Georgia was selected. Medication administration detected by registered nurses (R.N.s), licensed practical (L.P.N.s), pharmacy technicians from these using methods: incident report review, chart direct observation. Each dose evaluated compared with the prescriber's order. Deviations considered errors. Efficiency...
A possible association between interruptions and distractions the occurrence of dispensing errors was investigated. Fourteen pharmacists 10 technicians in an ambulatory care pharmacy at a general medical-surgical hospital were tested for distractibility by using group embedded figures test (GEFT) as well visual acuity hearing. They videotaped they filled prescriptions during 23-day period 1992. study investigator compared each prescription with physician's written order, noted details...
An unprecedented encounter between feminist criticism, reading-research and reader-response criticism...I found 'Gender Reading' a valuable book to read as critic. Valuable because it asserts our rights, women, read; women. begins dialogue among so many varieties of criticism theory.--Susan Squier, 'Women's Review Books.'
First published in 1985, with coverage going up to 1982, this book has established itself as the classic survey and analysis of roots development American feminist theory. Additions include recent past: feminism, poststructuralism, multiculturalism, traditional liberalism, science environment. Bibliography. Index.
The quantification and characterization of aggregated α-synuclein in clinical samples offer immense potential toward diagnosing, treating, better understanding neurodegenerative synucleinopathies. Here, we developed digital seed amplification assays to detect single aggregates by partitioning the reaction into microcompartments. Using pre-formed fibrils as seeds, measured aggregate concentrations low 4 pg/mL. To improve our sensitivity, captured on antibody-coated magnetic beads before...
Measuring virus in biofluids is complicated by confounding biomolecules coisolated with viral nucleic acids. To address this, we developed an affinity-based microfluidic device for specific capture of intact severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2). Our approach used engineered angiotensin-converting enzyme to from plasma and other complex biofluids. leverages a staggered herringbone pattern, nanoparticle surface coating, processing conditions achieve detection as few 3...
Rates of errors in i.v. admixture compounding at five U.S. hospital pharmacies were studied. Pharmacy staff members hospitals representing each geographic region observed as they compounded sterile products order to record the medication, dose, base solution, and other details. Intravenous admixtures, antineoplastic preparations, parenteral nutrient solutions, ready-to-use included. Observations took place for days pharmacy. The observers' notes checked against labels used prepare doses; any...
It is not easy to think like a woman in man's world, the world of professions; yet capacity do that strength which we can try help our students develop. To means thinking critically, refusing accept givens, making connections between facts and ideas men have left unconnected. remembering every mind resides body; remaining accountable female bodies live; constantly retesting given hypotheses against lived experience. constant critique language, for as Wittgenstein (no feminist) observed, The...
The effect of barcode-assisted medication administration (BCMA) with electronic record (eMAR) technology on the occurrence errors was evaluated.A pretest-posttest nonequivalent comparison group used to investigate BCMA-eMAR accuracy rates at two community-based hospitals. Patient care units included three matched pairs in hospitals-two medical-surgical, telemetry, and rehabilitation units-plus a medical-surgical intensive unit, an emergency department, both inpatient oncology unit outpatient...

<h3>Background</h3> Concerns about hospital medication safety mount as the pace of new drug releases accelerates. <h3>Methods</h3> We performed a randomized study at 2 hospitals (A and B) to examine whether administration error rate could be decreased by having "dedicated" nurses focus exclusively on administering drugs. "Medication nurses," after receiving brief review course safe use, were responsible solely for delivery up 18 patients each. "General who did not attend course, provided...
Those who have experienced interpersonal violence are at an increased risk for a variety of adverse mental and physical health outcomes. As such, it is imperative that research look ways to offset some these Current studies suggest self-compassion may help reduce the effects associated with violence, including trauma-related shame specifically. The current study explored associations between self-compassion, shame, outcomes among those violence. In particular, this aimed address following...
Schwannomas are common sporadic tumors and hallmarks of familial neurofibromatosis type 2 (NF2) that develop predominantly on cranial spinal nerves. Virtually all schwannomas result from inactivation the NF2 tumor suppressor gene with few, if any, cooperating mutations. Despite their genetic uniformity exhibit remarkable clinical therapeutic heterogeneity, which has impeded successful treatment. How heterogeneity develops in NF2-mutant is unknown. We have found loss...
Associations between ambient sounds and accuracy of pharmacists' prescription-filling performance in a pharmacy was studied. Pharmacists were videotaped as they filled prescriptions each workday for 23 days. Each prescription inspected by the investigator. Deviations from physician's written order considered errors. Videotape analysis used to detect unpredictable, predictable, uncontrollable, controllable sounds. A within-subjects case control study design employed determine whether...
Modes of collaboration are gendered in the sense that they define power relationships among members a group. In this study, authors three collaborative modes: dialogic, asymmetrical, and hierarchical. Dialogic asymmetrical modes emancipating characterized by flexibility, open-ended inquiry, concern for growth development individuals involved. Hierarchical oppressive rigidity suppression voices others Two writing groups chemical engineering design course exemplify these modes. The first,...
