Combatting Abortion Misinformation And Disinformation In Medical Education, Jaya Prakash, Deborah Bartz

Feminist Pedagogy

Abstract Introduction: Although abortion has historically been federally legal, functional access to abortion care has been thwarted by inflammatory political discourse. Abortion misinformation and disinformation have been deliberately intertwined into political agendas and ideologies, widening the gap between the lay public’s perception of and patients’ lived experience with abortion care. The politicization of abortion care has adverse effects on its provision and training along lines of inequity and marginalization established by preexisting systems of oppression and structural violence. Critical feminist pedagogy—an examination of class, gender, and sexuality on patriarchal misrepresentations of abortion information—can guide medical students to recognize and combat …

Clabsi Prevention Methods, Noah Heine, Talon Cockrel

Scholars Week

Infection and the risk thereof is one of the major concerns regarding patient outcomes in the health care facility. One of the interventions with the highest causes of infection is the use of central lines. These lines provide necessary venous access for medication administration but can cause infections called CLABSI or Central Line Acquired Bacterial Infection. The purpose of our article was to research CLABSI prevention methods and provide a new policy using these safe effective methods. These new methods include the use of stat locks for central line securement, using antimicrobial lines, and flushing/locking the central line with a …

Improving Quality of Urinalysis Samples Collected in the Emergency Department

Carl Beranek, MD, Lynne Fullerton, PhD

Urine samples with greater than five squamous cells are of low diagnostic value as they are considered contaminated. Sending contaminated samples to lab wastes time and resources and delays care of all patients. The current literature is mixed on utility of supplemental instructions improving contamination frequency of urinalysis (UA). A published study has demonstrated illustrations improved UA quality in female populations. Another study demonstrated that a mobile application did not. A third study demonstrated written instructions did not improve quality of …
