AORN Journal’s 2002 Ethics in Nursing Series
[ send me this paper ]
A 3 page paper discussing a series of nine articles appearing in the AORN Journal between April and December, 2002. The value of the series of articles is that each article focuses on a specific point of stated, formal ethics code to explain to perioperative nurses precisely what the standards mean for them. Ethics codes necessarily must be broad enough to apply to a wide range of situations, but narrow enough to be meaningful and to provide direction when questions arise. This AORN Journal series has the effect of narrowing perspective to illustrate the relevance of ANA’s code of ethics to perioperative nursing. Bibliography lists 9 sources.

Applicability of Magnet Hospitals to the Canadian Health Care System
[ send me this paper ]
A 16 page paper primarily discussing the qualities of magnet hospitals and the process of achieving certification. Any quest to decrease costs while simultaneously increasing quality is a worthwhile pursuit in today's environment, but the many manufacturers failing in their attempts to implement TQM in the past can attest to the fact that there are pitfalls in the process. Magnet certification is tried, proven and documented, and has been shown to benefit nurse recruitment and retention efforts. Though the fiscal structure of health care in the US and Canada are very different, the goals of each are the same. Magnet certification can be applied to Canadian health care with only minimal alteration. Bibliography lists 16 sources.

Application of Change Theory to the Problem of Intravenous Medication Overdose
[ send me this paper ]
This 10 page report discusses the need for change in a clinical setting regarding intravenous medication overdoses. When a patient is admitted to the hospital and is receiving intravenous drugs, it is clear that he or she is already in a relatively fragile state. To obtain the overall incidence of overdose of intravenously administered medications, it will be necessary to combine the incidence of overdoses occurring while in the hospital plus the incidence of symptoms and/or disease that would have initially required use of the medication. A literature review of the problem is presented as well as a recommendation for instituting a computer-based order system for medications. Bibliography lists 12 sources.
