Knowledge Pediatric Nurses Have On The Medications They Are Giving, Opaljean Whiteaker

Loma Linda University Electronic Theses, Dissertations & Projects

The purpose of this survey was twofold (1) to find out what knowledge the pediatric nurse has regarding selected medications which she is administering, and (2) to make recommendations relative to drug knowledge for in-service education programs in hospitals.

The data regarding abdication knowledge as collected by using a checklist form developed for this study and administered to seventeen graduate nurses in three selected hospitals each supervising a pediatric unit.

A checklist included categories, the route, the action time of a drug, and the side effects that could he commonly expected.

The Efficacy Of A Limited Clinical Undergraduate Orthodontic Program, Benjamin H. Robson

Loma Linda University Electronic Theses, Dissertations & Projects

One of the major and long standing problems in undergraduate education has been the operation and maintenance of an efficient orthodontic clinic.

Literature based on the history of undergraduate orthodontic clinics, as well as of previous investigations into their operations was reviewed. Little if any, specific recorded information could be found.

The specific purpose of this investigation was to inspect the elements of and the accomplishments of a specific undergraduate orthodontic clinic. The efficacy was based upon an investigation along two avenues of study: (1) A complete review of all case histories and records for an analysis of the nature …

An Evaluation Of Two Cleansing Techniques Used On Female Catheterization, Fern Iva Potter

Loma Linda University Electronic Theses, Dissertations & Projects

The Problem: This study was designed to ascertain which of two pre-catheterization cleansing procedures now in common use for the female patient is more effective in producing an area relatively free of microorganisms.

The Need: Indications of need for the study were: (1) an increasing body of literature linking catheterization with frequent urinary tract infections, many of which are "silent" but have extremely serious sequelae; (2) lack of uniformity in defining adequate pre-catheterization cleansing; and (3) absence of any recorded research to determine an adequate cleansing technique.

Method: The experimental method of research was used to collect data on one …

A Study Of Fever Differences Following Cardiac Surgery, Cleta Phyllis Lane

Loma Linda University Electronic Theses, Dissertations & Projects

The method used was the descriptive survey. Data were obtained from medical records in one selected hospital. The desired number of charts was 50 for each of the three categories. The categories were identified by groups as follows:

Group I: patients having had cardiac surgery by a closed heart technique. All of the patients in …

Effects Of Loading Various Wire Configurations Under Simulated Cuspid Retraction Conditions, Carl James Heinrich

Loma Linda University Electronic Theses, Dissertations & Projects

The magnitude, and manner of application of forces effects the whole complex picture of tooth movement. Proper mechanical management in terms of the individual tooth as well as the entire arch, must be kept in mind. When applying forces for producing individual tooth movement as desired in cuspid retraction, we must consider the nature of the biological resistance in terms of the force distribution in the periodontal membrane as well as the force magnitudes necessary for efficient tissue response.

Since the alteration of wire configuration offers the greatest potential in changing the physical properties of a unit of wire, the …

Hospital Resources Used As Guides In Unfamiliar Nursing Procedures, Marie Ethel Greene

Loma Linda University Electronic Theses, Dissertations & Projects

Hospital nursing procedures are rapidly increasing in number and in complexity, keeping pace with the continuous advances being made in medical science. This, coupled with the fact that many nurses are resuming their careers after a period of professional inactivity, make it imperative that hospitals provide facilities for assisting nursing personnel in becoming acquainted with unfamiliar procedures. This study was done to learn what resources hospital nursing personnel use most as a guide in performing unfamiliar procedures, and by internal analysis, to identify some of the factors influencing the choice of resources used by different levels of nursing personnel. Following …
