Eating disorders are well defined in females ages 14 to 24, and consist primarily of anorexia nervosa (AN) and bulimia nervosa (BN). Collectively, these two eating disorders are characterized by severe disturbances in eating behaviors and acute distress over body shape and weight. In AN, fear of weight gain coupled with a distorted body image leads to refusal to maintain a minimally accepted body weight (American Psychiatric Association [APA], 1994). Although women with BN also overvalue body size and shape, this disorder is characterized by episodes of binge eating followed by efforts to undo the binge episode (oral purging is the most widely known effort) (APA, 1994). Developmental, psychological, socioenvironmental and behavioral factors contribute to the complex development and persistence of AN and BN (Rosen & Neumark‐Sztainer, 1998).

Promoting breastfeeding of preterm infants offers clinical challenges for maternal-child nurses, and requires understanding the experience of the mother. Maternal-child nurses, in collaboration with hospital- and community-based lactation specialists, can meet the unique needs of preterm infants and their mothers. There are several opportunities for nurses to educate other health care professionals in the care of preterm infants and their mothers. The case study in this article presents one mother's experience of delivering a preterm infant and the many obstacles to breastfeeding that she encountered, and it also offers suggestions for what nurses and other health care professionals can do to make sure other mothers have a more positive experience.

Additionally, studies show that most people who learn they’re infected take steps to protect their partners, whereas people who are unaware of their infection are estimated to account for between 50 percent and 70 percent of new sexually transmitted HIV infections. “We urgently need new approaches to reach the quarter-million Americans with HIV who do not realize they are infected,” said Dr. Julie L. Gerberding, CDC director. “People with HIV have a right to know that they are infected so they can seek treatment and The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) released new recommendations for health care providers that are designed to make voluntary HIV screening a routine part of medical care for all patients aged 13 to 64 years. The recommendations aim to simplify the HIV testing process in health care settings and increase early HIV diagnosis among the estimated more than 250,000 HIVpositive Americans who are unaware of their infection. The recommendations also include new measures to improve diagnosis among pregnant women and further reduce mother-to-child HIV transmission. The recommendations were published in the Sep. 22, 2006, issue of Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report. Increasing the proportion of people who know their HIV status is an essential component of comprehensive HIV treatment and prevention efforts in the United States.
