Parenteral nutrition (PN) serves as an important therapeutic modality that is used in adults, children, and infants for a variety of indications. The appropriate use of this complex therapy aims to maximize clinical benefit while minimizing the potential risk for adverse events. Despite being classified and acknowledged as a high-alert medication,1 only 58% of organizations have precautions in place to prevent errors and patient harm associated with PN.2 Complications can occur as a result of the therapy and as the result of the PN process. The American Society for Parenteral and Enteral Nutrition (A.S.P.E.N.) Parenteral Nutrition Safety Consensus Recommendations are …

This research concerns itself with the experiences of couple and family therapists (CFTs) learning about and using an evidence-based practice (EBP). The engagement with EBP is growing across many aspects of the mental health and health care systems. The EBP model is now being applied in a broad range of health and human service systems, including mental and behavioural health care, social work, education, and criminal justice (Hunsley, 2007). The dialogue about the role of evidence-based approaches in the practice of CFT and research literature is also evolving (Sexton et al., 2011; Sprenkle 2012). Interestingly, while the research delves …

Do Antibiotics Improve Outcomes For Patients Hospitalized With Copd Exacerbations?, Sagi Mathew, Deborah S. Zeitlin, Katherine Rickett
Do Antibiotics Improve Outcomes For Patients Hospitalized With Copd Exacerbations?, Sagi Mathew, Deborah S. Zeitlin, Katherine Rickett
Deborah Zeitlin
EVIDENCE-BASED ANSWER YES. Antibiotic use reduced mortality and treatment failure in patients hospitalized with acute exacerbations of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) (strength of recommendation [SOR]: A, systematic reviews of randomized controlled trials [RCTs]). Giving antibiotics early to hospitalized patients decreased the need for later ventilation and readmission within 30 days for exacerbation of COPD (SOR: B, a retrospective cohort study).

“I Had No Idea This Shame Piece Was In Me”: Couple And Family Therapists' Experience With Learning An Evidence-Based Practice, Robert Allan, Virginia Eatough, Michael Ungar
“I Had No Idea This Shame Piece Was In Me”: Couple And Family Therapists' Experience With Learning An Evidence-Based Practice, Robert Allan, Virginia Eatough, Michael Ungar
Robert Allan
This study reports on the experience of shame while learning an evidencebased approach to working with couples or families. Couple and family therapists were interviewed about their experience with learning and using an evidence-based practice (EBP) and the data was analyzed using a phenomenological approach called interpretative phenomenological analysis. The theme of shame emerged from a number of research participants as part of their development with the EBP they were integrating into their practice. Starting with an exploration of the participants’ experiences and the impact of shame, the paper will then link these experiences with the psychological and sociological research …
