Happy Holidays!
IF YOU SEE A FAT MAN ...
Who's jolly and cute,
Wearing a beard and
a red flannel suit,
And if he is chuckling
and laughing away,
While flying around
in a miniature sleigh,
With eight tiny reindeer
to pull him along,
Then let's face it...
Your eggnog's too strong!
Merry Christmas and
a Happy 2OO9

Research Abstract with Commentary
Authors’ Abstract
The use of "as needed" or "pro re nata" (PRN) range opioid analgesic orders is a common clinical practice in the management of acute pain, designed to provide flexibility in dosing to meet an individual's unique needs. Range orders enable necessary adjustments in doses based on individual response to treatment. However, PRN range opioid orders have recently come under scrutiny as a source of confusion and as a medication management safety issue. How nurses administer range orders may vary based on their interpretation of the intent of an order, inadequate knowledge of analgesic titration, or exaggerated concerns about opioid safety.
The purpose of this study was to investigate nurses' opinions of the appropriate implementation of range orders. Six hundred two nurses from one large academic medical center and one multihospital system completed an online survey using theoretic clinical vignettes to examine their opinions of appropriate analgesic administration practices.
The majority of participants chose appropriate responses to the vignettes; however, there was a great deal of variability in responses. Those who had attended pain management courses were more likely to have a higher percentage of appropriate responses than those who had not attended courses. Years in practice and educational level were not significantly related to percentage of appropriate responses; however, there was a trend for nurses with a master's degree to have a higher percentage than nurses with other educational preparation. Consideration of opioid pharmacokinetics can provide logic to develop a new paradigm where range orders are replaced with orders that provide more explicit instructions to titrate an opioid to the most effective dose.

Commentary by Dana N. Rutledge, RN, PhD, Nursing Research Facilitator, & Mary Welly, RN, BSN, Clinical Educator
This fascinating article documents the difficulty that nurses face in administering PRN opioid pain medications ordered using dose ranges. In the literature review, authors delineate a brief history of safety initiatives that have led to the need to understand dose range administration issues. Changes in The Joint Commission expectations in the past decade have changed ordering habits of physicians, but have not necessarily clarified best practice for nurses.
The clinical problem addressed stems from nurse confusion with PRN range orders in terms of (a) which dose to administer within the range and (b) the total time interval during which the maximum dose can be administered. The study aim was to document nurse opinions of correct practice given 4 specific patient scenarios developed by the authors. The authors note that the “correct” answers (that they determined) are not absolute. In fact, due to disagreement among the researchers, they did not score responses to one of the scenarios. Correctness was based upon drug pharmacokinetics, patient assessment parameters, side and adverse effects and their interpretation, and administration issues.
Nurses surveyed came from several hospitals in the mid-Atlantic and Midwestern US. Response rates were 36% of nurses emailed a participation invitation, 11% of nurses who saw a posted invitation. These rates are typical of nurse response rates to similar surveys. When interpreting results, however, one must think about the nurses who chose NOT to respond, and how the non-respondents may be different from respondents. Survey respondents were similar to St. Joseph nurses by education (67% BS or higher; 57% of SJH nurses have a BS or higher based upon 2007 NDNQI data). Respondents were experienced (47% had been in nursing 16 years or greater, and primarily worked medical/surgical or intensive care (69%).
The discussion of results delineates options selected by nurses according to the authors’ determination of “correctness.” A key concept was titration, which is determination of “effective dose by giving graduated increases or decreases in the amount of the drug” (p. 138). Titration of oral drugs is similar to that of intravenous drug titration that may be more familiar to nurses. The authors note that accurate and safe titration may require a more lengthy order set or use of pre-established protocols than is normally used in hospitals.
Implications from the results indicate that a substantial portion of nurses (1/3 to ½) would under medicate or delay medicating patients in pain using PRN range dosing even where a patient exhibited no side effects. Another issue pointed out was that 43% of nurses did not cite sedation as one of three factors to consider when selecting opioid dose, perhaps indicating lack of appreciation of the importance of sedation assessment.
Of interest was the finding that 21% of nurses would give a dose less than what was ordered without calling a physician first. This finding was documented in numerous earlier studies as well, particularly with opioids. It certainly merits discussion among nurses in terms of what this means for nurse/physician communication and for pain management. Authors conclude that “flexibility in dosing made possible by a range order does not include adjusting the dose limits of the order” (p.139).
Do nurses at St. Joseph have a policy or protocol in place to direct practice for PRN opioid range dosing? If so, how many are aware of it? How many practice using it? Are there practice situations that are unclear as to “best” practice? We would urge further discussion by nurses at St. Joseph on your units as to these issues.
NOTE: Policy RX-475 Medication Ordering Procedures (approved 01/08) notes that “medication orders should NOT be written with dosage ranges” unless the order titrates to specific outcomes or doses matched to specific clinical parameters are allowed (such as the scenarios in the Gordon et al. study). Interpretation of dose and frequency ranges in this policy are in section II.C. 2. a. and 3.
A consensus statement about PRN medications is available from the American Society for Pain Management Nursing and the American Pain Society at Gordon et al. (2004). The use of “as-needed” range orders for opioid analgesics in the management of acute pain. Pain Management Nursing, 5, 53-58.

Tips and tricks for searching CINAHL on EBSCO
Burlew Medical library users-- did you know that there are over 130 one hour CE modules on CINAHL via EBSCO? In order to see the full list, just click on the CE MODULE in the lower left hand section of the CINAHL search page and then hit search. According to CINAHL " Each CEU module consists of course material, an interactive review and a competency test with a certificate of completion. As of April 2006, CINAHL education has received International Association for Continuing Education and Training (IACET) accreditation. The American Nurses Association accepts IACET accredited continuing education.
Depending on the course, it can take from one to several hours to complete a CE course. A course must be completed in a single session. You cannot save a partially-completed course and return to it at a later time." I am told that at St. Joseph Hospital in Orange, you would be required to keep your own paperwork regarding these CE's rather than sending the paperwork to Clinical Education. You will also need to do a quick free registration with CINAHL in order to obtain the CE. The topics available range from post traumatic stress disorder to pregnancy in adolescents: fathers. Check it out!!

We will receive your questions about searching CINAHL or your search strategy for review by email. Within a short time, we'll either get back to you with a. suggestions as to how to improve your search b. re-do your search for you c. answers to your search questions.
It's very easy to use this "Ask a Librarian" feature. While in CINAHL on EBSCO, simply click on the "Ask a Librarian" icon in the upper right hand corner of your search page. The form that you see here appears. Enter your name, your email and your question. By default, your lit search strategy will be included so that we can review it. It's that simple!!

Hilarious Email about Discharging a Patient
Read this hilarious email that was sent to me today:
Hospital regulations require a wheelchair for patients being discharged. However, while working as a student nurse, I found an elderly gentleman already dressed and sitting on the bed with a suitcase at his feet---who insisted he didn't need my help to leave the hospital. After a chat about rules being rules, he reluctantly let me wheel him to the elevator. On the way down, I asked if his wife was meeting him. "I don't know," he said. "She's still upstairs in the bathroom changing out of her hospital gown."

3 more nursing research articles from St. Joseph Hospital in Orange, California
Efforts led by Dana Rutledge, RN, PhD, Nursing Research Facilitator and the Nursing Research Council at St. Joseph Hospital in Orange, California are reaping rewards. Three recent articles published by nursing staff at St. Joseph Hospital are :
1. Holist Nurs Pract. 2008 Nov-Dec;22(6):324-35.Uncovering and recognizing nurse caring from clinical narratives.
Norman V, Rutledge DN, Keefer-Lynch AM, Albeg G.St Joseph Hospital, Orange, California 92868, USA. Vivian.Norman@stjoe.org
In an exploratory descriptive study using nurse-written clinical narratives,dimensions of Watson's Theory of Caring are reflected in nurses' descriptions of specific clinical events or situations, and narratives of nurses who are lessexperienced differ in terms of the caring dimensions than do those of moreexperienced nurses.
2. MEDSURG Nursing 2008 Oct;17(5):312-316. Medical Emergency team Implementation: experiences of a mentor hospital.
Jamieson Eleanor, Ferrell Carmen, Rutledge Dana N. St. Joseph Hospital, Orange, California 92868, USA. Eleanor.Jamieson@stjoe.org
Rapid response teams (RRTs) provide assessment and early intervention for patients not in critical care.The implementation of RRT using an evidence-based practice framework, which led to decreased resuscitations, critical care transfers, overall mortality, and cost, is described.
3. Journal of Emergency Nursing 2008 article in press. Guesting area: an alternative for boarding mental health patients seen in emergency departments.
Winokur Elizabeth J, Senteno, John M. St. Joseph Hospital, Orange, California 92868, USA. Beth.Winkour@stjoe.org

CASP: Critical Appraisal Skills Programme
Do you know about CASP? I just learned about these very useful tools developed by the Public Health Resource Unit at NHS. They provide you with a list of questions to ask when appraising various research study formats. For instance, there is a list of 10 detailed questions to ask when evaluating a randomized cointrol trial. Many of the questions were adapted from Guyett GH, Sackett DL and Cook DJ. Users' guides to the medical literature.II. How to use an article about therapy or prevention. JAMA 1993;270(21):2598-2601 and JAMA 1994;271(1):59-63.
This so simplifies the analysis process!!

Congrats Irene & Chad & WELCOME Justin!
My friend Irene, who I used to figure skate with had a baby boy one month earlier than expected. Both Mom and Baby are fine and home and Justin is growing and is absolutely too cute for words! I cannot wait to finally meet him (they live in the USA). Here are a few pic of him.

Some more funnies!
Five Minutes
A hospital posted a notice in the nurse's lounge saying: "Remember, the first five minutes of a human being's life are the most dangerous." Underneath, a nurse had written: "The last five are pretty risky, too."
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
On a busy Med/Surg floor the doctor stops the nurse to brief her on a patient's condition. "This patient is a fellow physician and my favorite golf partner. His injury is serious and I fear he will not be able to play golf again unless you follow my orders exactly." The doctor then began listing orders:
"You must give an injection in a different location every twenty minutes followed by a second injection exactly five minutes after the first. He must take two pills at exactly every hour followed by one pill every fifteen minutes for eight hours. He must drink no more and no less than ten ounces of water every twenty-five minutes and must void between. Soak his arm in warm water for fifteen minutes then place ice for ten minutes and repeat over and over for the rest of the day. Give range of motion every thirty minutes. He requires a back rub and foot rub every hour. Feed him something tasty every hour. Be cheerful and do whatever he asks at all times. Chart his condition and vital signs every twenty minutes. You must do these things exactly as I ordered or his injury will not heal properly, and he will not able to play golf well."
The nurse left the doctor and entered the patient's room. She was greeted by anxious family and an equally anxious patient. All asked the nurse what the doctor had said about the patient. The nurse started, "The doctor said that you will live." Then quickly reviewing the orders, the nurse added, "But you will have to learn a new sport."
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
A nurse dies and goes to heaven. She is met at the Pearly Gates by St. Peter who asks her questions about her life. Over St. Peter's shoulder the nurse spots a man in a white coat sitting on a cloud with a stethoscope around his neck.
"Oh brother!", she cries. "Is that a doctor?"
St Peter glances over his shoulder and says, "No, that's God. He just thinks he's a doctor."

On a Lighter Note...
Two nuns, Sister Catherine and Sister Helen, are traveling through Europe in their car. They get to Transylvania an are stopped at a traffic light. Suddenly, out of nowhere, a tiny little Dracula jumps onto the hood of the car and hisses through the windshield.
'Quick, quick!' shouts Sister Catherine. 'What shall we do?'
'Turn the windshield wipers on. That will get rid of the abomination,' says Sister Helen.
Sister Catherine switches them on, knocking Dracula about, but he clings on and continues hissing at the nuns.
What shall I do now?' she shouts.
'Switch on the windshield washer. I filled it up with Holy Water at the Vatican ,' says Sister Helen.
Sister Catherine turns on the windshield washer.
Dracula screams as the water burns his skin, but he clings on and continues hissing at the nuns.
'Now what?' shouts Sister Catherine.
'Show him your cross,' says Sister Helen.
'Now you're talking,' says Sister Catherine.
She opens the window and shouts,
'GET THE FUCK OFF THE CAR!'
'Quick, quick!' shouts Sister Catherine. 'What shall we do?'
'Turn the windshield wipers on. That will get rid of the abomination,' says Sister Helen.

Research Abstract with Commentary: Value of Nurse Internships
Abstract: New Graduate Transitioning: Necessary or Nice?
This study investigated the influence of personal factors, orientation, continuing education, and staffing shortage on the satisfaction, intent to leave their job, and intent to leave the profession of a random sample of new graduate nurses from varied facilities and geographic locations. It further examined the influence of personal factors and orientation on turnover rates among new graduate nurses. The findings indicate that orientation programs are essential to the retention and satisfaction of new graduate nurses. Given current economic constraints, this study supports nurse executives' ability to advocate for and receive funding for transition-to-work programs as well as the placement of new graduate nurses in well-staffed units.

Commentary by Dana N. Rutledge, RN, PhD, Nursing Research Facilitator
This timely study begins to fill a gap in nursing literature related to what factors can predict new graduate job and career satisfaction as well as actual job turnover. A well developed framework predicts that (a) anticipatory socialization (characteristics of education, experience, and expectations) can predispose or protect the new graduate from reality shock, and (b) organizational socialization (things that happen to the new nurse in the first two years of nursing such as orientation, unit culture, staffing) can enhance or inhibit work adjustment. The outcomes of job and career satisfaction, intent to stay, turnover can be predicted by factors within each of these two categories.
Using already collected data (this is called secondary analysis) from a random sample of North Carolina new graduates (< 2 years from graduation from initial RN program), researchers evaluated how this model worked with 329 nurses. They adequately described the variables they used, and ran multiple analyses to look for relationships in the model. One of the drawbacks of using already collected data is that not all factors the researchers wanted to evaluate were measured, and some that were measured contained “missing” data. However, they were able to draw several important conclusions.
Besides the finding reported in the abstract (above), the following were reported:
· Among new nurses, 54% were dissatisfied with their current job, 55% had already left one job, however, 71% were satisfied with nursing as a career.
· Orientation offered to these nurses ranged from < 1 week to 1 year (huge variability!!). The quality and quantity of orientation were associated with turnover (better/longer predictive of less turnover).
· The strongest predictor of job satisfaction was frequency of staffing shortage on a unit. Nurses reporting weekly shortages were 6 X more likely to be dissatisfied than those with less shortages.
These findings point to the need to give our new graduates the most satisfying orientation possible, and that longer orientation lengths may contribute to job satisfaction, and subsequent retention.

OIIQ Exam
Well, the time has come! I am taking the OIIQ Boards this coming weekend. The OSCEs are Sunday and the written is Monday. I do not feel prepared at all, and frankly fully expect to fail it this time around.. which if I do, is a huge waste of $500! BUT really, the prep book they sell us I find to be very lacking and has mistakes in it! (mainly b/c it is translated from the French).
The OSCEs are 16 scenarios, and the written is 100 short answer questions.. INSANE!
Wish me luck, those who pray, well pray away for me! All this stress to become part of the Order of Nurse and be able to write RN after my name!

GREY MATTERS: a practical search tool for evidence based medicine
The Canadian Agency for Drugs and Technologies in Health (CADTH) has developed a new, free tool to assist in the process of identifying "gray literature" for evidence based medicine. While this is oriented towards EBM, it does have applicability to Evidence Based Nursing. First off, what exactly is "gray literature"? Gray literature is defined in wikipedia as "... a term used variably by the intelligence community, librarians, and medical and research professionals to refer to a body of materials that cannot be found easily through conventional channels such as publishers, "but which is frequently original and usually recent" in the words of M.C. Debachere". It goes without saying that gray literature usually does not appear in customary databases such as Pubmed and CINAHL. There are several resources for identifying gray literature but none are quite as comprehensive as the newly released tool from the CADTH GREY MATTERS: a practical search tool for evidence based medicine.
To access this tool, scroll down the page to Information Services and follow instructions to download the document.

While most of us would never go through this intensity of research for clinical topics, if you are developing a meta-analysis or systematic review, this could be useful. This tool will help you search for evidence based topics in both the international and US grey literature.

Taking research posters to the units
The Nursing Research Council at St. Joseph Hospital in Orange, California is activating its plan to take research to the units. Members of the Research Council were charged with finding a current nursing research article which might have special application to their specific unit. Leaders of the Nursing Research Council developed a template poster which summarizes a key article into the following sections:The Research Question
- Methods
- Results
- Discussion
- Implications for SJH Nursing Practice
Of special note is the section noting implications for St. Joseph Hospital nursing practice. An effort is made to show how the practice implications may mesh with our hospital's values and with our Watson nursing model. The posters will be placed in a unit's lounge area and are intended to make the salient points of a complex research article more accessible and increase interest in nursing research. This photo shows team members at a working meeting in which they identified an article of interest and then summarized it into this reseach poster template.

Student Nurse Humour
A male patient is lying in bed in the hospital, wearing oxygen mask
over his mouth and nose.
A young, student nurse appears to give him a partial sponge bath.
'Nurse', he mumbles, from behind the mask. 'Are my testicles black?'
Embarrassed, the young nurse replies, 'I don't know, Sir I'm only here
to wash your upper body and feet.'
He struggles to ask again, 'Nurse, please check. Are my testicles
black?'
Concerned that he may elevate his blood pressure and heart rate from
worry about his testicles, she overcomes her embarrassment and pulls
back the covers. She raises his gown, holds his manhood in one hand and
his testicles in the other. Then, she takes a close look and says,
'...there's nothing wrong with them, Sir!'
The man pulls off his oxygen mask, smiles at her and says very slowly,
'Thank you very much. That was wonderful, but listen very, very
closely...

Our House Flooded
Some of our readers have e-mailed asking why we are settled in South Georgia again this school year. The answer is becoming less and less clear given what happened the weekend before last and what is going on right now.
The weekend before last we were visited by Tropical Storm Fay which decided to stick around for two and a half days before moving on. The storm moved through at about 4 mph and dropped 25 inches of rain in two days. I felt like it would never leave. By the time it left our living and tv rooms had an inch of water on the floor.
See all that red just above the Florida line where the arrow is pointing. Yeah. That's where we live.

CINAHL on EBSCO
Beginning in January 2009, CINAHL, the nursing and allied health database will no longer be available on the OVID platform. Instead, CINAHL will be exclusively offered on the EBSCO platform. Burlew Medical Library is now offering access to EBSCO CINAHL via our library web site (password protected for staff of St. Joseph Hospital, Orange and Children's Hospital of Orange County). I will begin to showcase a variety of "tips and tricks" for searching EBSCO CINAHL so that everyone can prepare themselves for this transition. As a beginning, here are some links to EBSCO provided tutorials/online help:
