Introduction: There is little information regarding use of expected well care by infants diagnosed with neonatal abstinence syndrome (NAS) post initial discharge. We describe expected and unexpected utilization of care by infants with NAS in the first year of life.

Prisons As Learning Environments For Nursing And Public Health Practice, Mary Bouchaud, Phd, Rn, Madeline Brooks

College of Nursing Posters

Background:

Challenges in Securing Community Nursing Rotation Sites Eighteen years of providing clinical placement for Bachelor of Science in Nursing (BSN) students has demonstrated that community-based educational opportunities are shrinking due to:

•Increased regulatory requirements

•Competing numbers of nursing schools

•Increasing student enrollment

•Decreasing availability of community resources capable and willing to precept students

These issues present challenges to preparing students for nursing practice. A college of nursing at an urban, academic health center found a solution by working with unexpected partners – maximum security prisons and juvenile detention centers.

A Novel Solution: Partnerships with Prisons

Several factors make prisons …

Treatment-Related Decisional Conflict, Quality Of Life, And Comorbid Illness In Older Adults With Cancer, Jeannette Kates, Phd, Msn, Gnp-Bc

College of Nursing Posters

As the aging population in the nation increases, cancer diagnoses in this age group will also increase. The many chronic medical conditions associated with older adults are confounded by a diagnosis of cancer. Older adults with cancer are at risk for physical, psychological, and functional decline as a result of not only the cancer, but also the cancer treatment. In their current research agenda, the Oncology Nursing Society identified the need for research related to multiple comorbidities in older adults with cancer. This study utilized a cross-sectional, descriptive, correlational study design to explore the relationships between and among treatment-related decisional …

Abstract

Changes in health care delivery and recent reports from the Institute of Medicine (IOM, 2010) call for nurse educators to reconstruct the way they prepare nursing students for practice in the 21st century. Health care delivery continues to shift from the acute care to outpatient and transitional settings, therefore faculty must assure that graduates are prepared to practice in those environments. In order to address these changes, the Jefferson College of Nursing at Thomas Jefferson University embarked on a mission to redesign their undergraduate curriculum. The new clinical courses, now referred to as Immersion Practicums, were designed to allow …

Infection Prevention And Control In Baccalaureate Nursing Education: Identifying Content, Teaching Strategies And Gaps, Mary Lou Manning, Phd, Crnp, Cic, Faan, Monika Pogorzelska-Maziarz, Phd, Mph, Cic

College of Nursing Posters

Background

Healthcare-associated infections (HAI) are a major risk to patient safety. In the US, on any given day, 1 of every 25 inpatients has at least one HAI, resulting in significant health, social, and economic consequences.¹ It is estimated that up to 70% of some types of HAIs are preventable through improved infection prevention and control (IPC) practices of health care providers.²

Additionally, antibiotic resistant infections and emerging and re-emerging infectious diseases represent ongoing threats to population health.

Integrating IPC concepts and content in baccalaureate nursing education is crucial to ensure that nurses have the essential knowledge, skills …
