Abstract: Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is prevalent but remains underdiagnosed and undertreated. Recognizing OSA in patients with psychiatric disorders can be challenging due to the conditions' overlapping symptoms. To aid primary care NPs in identifying OSA among patients with psychiatric disorders, this article examines overlapping symptoms and outlines diagnostic reasoning. It also provides an overview of the anatomy and neurotransmitters involved in OSA, as well as OSA-specific screening tools and risk stratification, to promote the condition's identification among this population.
摘要:阻塞性睡眠呼吸暂停(OSA)很普遍,但诊断和治疗仍然不足。由于精神疾病的症状相互重叠,因此识别精神疾病患者的 OSA 具有挑战性。为了帮助初级保健 NP 识别精神疾病患者中的 OSA,本文探讨了重叠症状并概述了诊断推理。文章还概述了 OSA 所涉及的解剖结构和神经递质,以及 OSA 特定筛查工具和风险分层,以促进在这一人群中识别 OSA。

Abstract: Climate change is the greatest threat to global health. As climate change worsens, heat waves will be longer, more intense, and more frequent. Increased health risks from climate change and heat waves include heat-related illness (HRI). HRI increases ED visits, hospitalizations, and mortality. Healthcare providers should be aware of the impact of medications on risk for HRI. This article elucidates signs and symptoms, populations at risk, drugs and mechanisms that increase risk, and patient education to reduce risk.

Abstract: Older adults admitted to post-acute care often are frail with multiple comorbidities, making them particularly vulnerable to developing delirium. The purpose of this quality improvement project was to create, implement, and evaluate an NP-led, evidence-based delirium prevention protocol in a skilled nursing facility (SNF). The incidence of new-onset delirium was assessed pre- and postimplementation; following implementation, no patients were diagnosed with new-onset delirium, and nurses and certified nursing assistants reported changes to their practice. Based on project design, the approximately 42,000 NPs in the US with nursing home or long-term-care facility privileges are optimally positioned to lead SNFs in the prevention of new-onset delirium.

Abstract: The American College of Gastroenterology revised its recommendations for diagnosing and managing celiac disease in its updated 2023 clinical guideline. Celiac disease is an autoimmune disorder causing malabsorption following exposure to gluten. A wide range of both gastrointestinal and nongastrointestinal signs and symptoms can occur. This article provides an overview of the diagnosis and management of celiac disease, aiding the NP in developing a greater awareness of the condition both to diagnose it and to refer patients as needed to gastroenterology for evaluation.
