Principles Understood By Nurses Relative To The Care Of Tracheostomy Patients, Mary Ann Featherstone

Loma Linda University Electronic Theses, Dissertations & Projects

A descriptive study was conducted to determine what scientific principles were understood by nurses relative to the care of tracheostomy patients. A random sample of thirty-five nurses: twenty-four from medical-surgical units, three from pediatric units, and eight nurses from intensive care units, were selected from nurses working at two community hospitals. The interview method was used to obtain the data. An interview guide was developed from information gained in the literature review and findings of the pilot study.

The findings of the study indicated that the nurses realized speech would be lost with tracheostomy, but other essential physiological changes were …

An Anthropometric Study Of The Face And Dentition Of The Papago Indian At The Stewart Indian School, Carson City, Nevada, Stephen J. Christensen

Loma Linda University Electronic Theses, Dissertations & Projects

The dentition and craniofacial complex of the Papago Indian was studied and compared to other groups. Casts of plaster and lateral cephalometric roentgenograms were obtained from 31 Papago Indians who were from southwestern Arizona and were attending high school at the Stewart Indian Boarding School, Carson City, Nevada. The individuals were between the ages of 13 and 20 years and had normal jaw relationships with no contiguous missing teeth. Data was obtained for the following variables from an oral examination, dental casts and tracings of the roentgenograms:

1. Degree of shovel shape of the maxillary centrals.
2. Frequency of cusp of Carabelli. …

A Survey Of Temperatures Of Adult Medical Patients, Marilyn Ruth Verabelle Pinder

Loma Linda University Electronic Theses, Dissertations & Projects

The problem of this study was (1) to find the incidence of fever among adult medical patients in the selected hospital, (2) to find the incidence of elevations of 100 degrees Fahrenheit or above after being below 100 for twenty-four hours or longer. and (3) to find what factor or factors, if any, could be used to identify these patients.

The study was conducted on the medical units of a selected hospital. Five hundred evening temperatures were taken from the temperature sheets and classified according to previous temperature, patterns. Four patients with beginning elevations were studied to find any factor …

The Relationship Between Stress And Communication When Receiving An Injection, Ulla Maria Sundell

Loma Linda University Electronic Theses, Dissertations & Projects

A descriptive research study was conducted on forty-five patients. The study was guided by the null hypotheses that: (1) positive communication will create more stress than by-talk communications (2) by-talk communication will create more stress than negative communications, and (3) positive communication will create more stress than negative communication. The purpose of the study was to find out the patients' reaction to nurses' controlled communication as they administered injections to the patients. Known factors that might have influenced the findings were eliminated. The Subjective Stress Scale checklist developed by Kerle and Bialek was used to measure stress. Collection of the …

The Protein Efficiency Ratios Of Certain Individual And Supplemented Plant Foods, Barbara Jemison Myers

Loma Linda University Electronic Theses, Dissertations & Projects

Various individual and supplemented plant proteins were studied by the protein efficiency ratio (PER) method to determine their relative abilities to promote growth in young albino rats. Animals received a 10 percent level of protein in an otherwise adequate ration.

A soy fiber product was found to have a PER which was not significantly different from that of the control, which received non-fat Animals received a dry milk as the only source of protein, Despite good growth, however. these experimental animals failed to show satisfactory reproductive responses. When wheat gluten, lentils or pinto beans were used individually as protein sources, …

An Organ Culture Technique For Maintaining The Pulp Tissue Of Intact Human Teeth, John P. Devincenzo

Loma Linda University Electronic Theses, Dissertations & Projects

The size of explants in organ culture is limited by their ability to feed, respire, and excrete by diffusion. The perfusion procedure described in this report is not limited to a particular explant size. The test tissue was the adult human tooth.

In order to maintain the pulp tissue of the intact human tooth in organ culture, special precautions were taken to prevent internal necrosis and to allow diffusion of nutrients and waste products. Using aseptic technique, a standard tissue culture medium plus appropriate antibiotics were delivered to a glass manifold housed in an incubator with an atmosphere at 100% …

Two Methods Of Collecting Clean-Voided Urine Specimens, Jo Helen Butner

Loma Linda University Electronic Theses, Dissertations & Projects

The purpose of this study was to find out if there was a need to cleanse the genitalia in women before obtaining a clean-voided urine specimen.

The experimental method was chosen as the method of study. Two clean-voided urine specimens were obtained from twenty-six nursing students in a selected school of nursing. One clean-voided urine specimen was obtained from each subject where the genitalia had not been cleansed and compared with a second clean-voided urine specimen obtained the following day from the same subject where the genitalia had been cleansed.

It was found that there was a mean of 54,438 …

Needle Length Required For Intramuscular Injection In Women, Olive Vaughan Blumenshein

Loma Linda University Electronic Theses, Dissertations & Projects

An exploratory study was done on fourteen females to find the depth of the subcutaneous tissue and the length of needle required to reach the musculature. Gross body measurements were correlated with the internal measurements to develop criteria predicting the depth on other individuals. Review of the literature showed that most authorities recommend two to two and one-half inch needles, while available disposable needles range from one-half to one and one-half inches in length. A pilot study of measurements taken on postmortem subjects was reported as unsatisfactory. The electrocardiograph with coaxial needle electrode was demonstrated to be a very accurate …

Techniques Found In Administering Intragluteal Injection, Lee Lee Santimalapongse

Loma Linda University Electronic Theses, Dissertations & Projects

This descriptive survey study was concerned with the problem of determining whether nurses were using an acceptable technique in giving intragluteal injections. With the increase of intramuscular injections the complications and injuries resulting from the intragluteal injections have increased. A review of literature disclosed a general agreement among authorities that damage to nerves and muscles in the administration of intragluteal injections could be minimized by careful selection of the injection site and the use of proper technique. Fifty registered nurses giving intragluteal injections in two general hospitals were observed, guided by a check list from the criteria recommended by Zelman. …

An Anthropometric Study Of The Face And Dentition Of The Pima Indian Population At The Stewart Indian School, Carson City, Nevada, Wilmonte Lee Penner

Loma Linda University Electronic Theses, Dissertations & Projects

Study casts and cephalograms were obtained on 18 female and 21 male Pima Indian students from the Stewart Indian Boarding School, Carson City, Nevada. Dentitional characteristics were assessed both clinically and by study casts. Cranio-facial analyses were performed by utilizing the skeletal and denture pattern variables suggested by the Downs and Riedel cephalometric analyses.

The purpose of this study was two-fold: (1) to determine the extent to which the Pima conforms to the Mongoloid master pattern, and (2) to test whether or not significant differences exist between the Pima and other Mongoloid groups which would allow discrimination.

The results of …
