667.16512 Treating Through Prayer and Care: Parish Nursing Today
This 8-page undergraduate paper examines parish nursing, beginning with a brief overview of the history of parish nursing, and then moving to an examination of the parish nursing field today. This paper considers how the parish nurse functions in the community in her role both within the church, the hospital, and the greater community. Further, this paper examines the ways in which the philosophy of parish nursing coincides with current health care needs and with current trends in medical research. For example, this paper notes that changes in the health care mean that the system is increasingly strained and impersonal, making the attentions of the parish nurse important. Crucially, the parish nurse?s belief in treating the ?whole person? - in mind, body, and spirit - reflects current research findings, which suggest the strong link between belief, emotions, and health. This paper, then, suggests that the main functions of a parish nurse revolve around multi-faceted roles involving prevention, personalized engagement, and dissemination of education and resource of referrals, rather than the primary care provided by both nurses.

This two-page undergraduate paper examines doctor-nurse tensions and concludes that the working relationships between physicians and nurses have degenerated in many hospitals and clinics. Instead of being members of a unified health care team who treat with one another with mutual professional respect, they have become bitter antagonists. This issue is important to nursing because it generates tensions within the health care community and can serve to reduce the quality of health care patients deserve.

672.16554 Hand Washing by Nurses in the Hospital Setting
It is a well established fact that prior to the advent of medical sterilization many more people died because of operation-related infection than after. According to Mee (2003), in 1847, after ?the practice of regular hand washing [was introduced], mortality from puerperal fever sank from 18% to 2.4%.?. Hand washing on the part of nurses is exceptionally necessary beyond the operating room. The nurse comes in contact with the greatest number and variety of patients. Because of this, it is the nurse who has the greatest possibility of carrying an infection via contact from one patient to another, or from one patient to equipment and personnel within the hospital. Hand washing, as opposed to taking showers or disinfectant baths, is preferred because is it quick, easily done, and has the greatest chance of preventing the spread of infection. It is also necessary because it is with the hands that nurses handle infectious containers, check temperatures of infectious patients, and generally contact every element of the room and patient. It is the purpose of this paper, then, to present the justification for nurse hand washing and best practices.
