To reduce the number of cardiac arrests in telemetry and medical- surgical units, a 70-bed community hospital integrated a weighted, aggregate, electronic modified early warning score into the elec- tronic medical record. Impact was evaluated via a quality improvement initiative.
This cross-sectional study examined missed care in a Central New York community using the MISSCARE Survey. A great deal of the research on missed care has been focused in the midwestern United States. This study replicates a midwestern study to determine results in other parts of the United States.
Nurses have the capacity to improve patient care quality, cost, and safety. The role of Clinical Nurse Leaders(SM) in improving care and reducing costs in a Magnet® -designated Level 1 trauma center in the southern United States is described.
The Medical-Surgical Nursing Certification Board (MSNCB) is a professional organization whose mission is to validate excellence in medical-surgical nursing. MSNCB administers the Certified Medical-Surgical Registered Nurse (CMSRN®) and Certified in Care Coordination and Transition Management (CCCTM) certification programs because certification is the recognized path for registered nurses to build and demonstrate commitment, confidence, and credibility. Certification provides an added credential beyond licensure. It demonstrates, by examination, that the registered nurse adheres to specialized nursing standards and has acquired a core body of specialized knowledge in his or her practice or specialty. The topic of this article is part of the comprehensive examination given by MSNCB. The following scenario and questions offer an example that potential certificants may use to test their knowledge.

Cardiac events often occur suddenly, altering a person's lifestyle and outlook. Researchers studied the addition of a yoga interven- tion to standard cardiac rehabilitation, finding significant improve- ment in perceived stress and quality of life.
The pharmacotherapeutic goal of treatment with antiviral medica- tions is to slow viral replication, treat current symptoms, reduce transmission, and shorten the course of the disease process. Medical-surgical nurses play an instrumental role in safe medica- tion administration and patient monitoring.
An interprofessional program was introduced to streamline the dis- charge process to occur earlier in the day, and to reduce the disruption in patient flow caused by overcrowding in departments dependent on the availability of medical-surgical beds.
The prevalence of telemetry monitoring is increasing on medical- surgical units, but no evidence-based guidelines standardize nursing education. Research indicates nurses feel uncertain and report a lack of knowledge when caring for patients with telemetry monitoring.
