This article examines the incidence of clinical malnutrition among nursing home residents and comments on the relevance of the COMA report on dietary reference values (1) to elderly people. The author discusses the medical, social and economic causes of malnutrition and postulates that the gap between rich and poor, which has widened in the last decade, has increased the proportion of elderly people nutritionally at risk. She highlights the vulnerability of nursing home residents, calls for further research and makes key recommendations to improve current practice.

The aim of this article is to review the current technology, clinical indications and implantation methods of cardiac pacemakers. The author describes the implantation procedure, and outlines appropriate pre and post-procedural care. Despite the complexity of the subject, cardiac pacing is a life-preserving procedure for many patients, and is one that nurses should understand.

This article examines how nursing will need to respond to the guidelines included in the new Health and Safety Regulations on the minimum requirements for the handling of loads. Many lifts that nurses undertake are called into question and the author outlines where nurses may be at risk and suggests alternative methods to lifting. The article also looks at what can go wrong when decisions about lifting miss out key points related to lifting stance and sequence.
