Acute coronary syndrome (ACS) is caused by a critical obstruction of a coronary artery because of atherosclerotic coronary artery disease. Three specific conditions are included: ST elevation myocardial infarction, non-ST elevation myocardial infarction, and unstable angina. The ST segment on the electrocardiogram is a sensitive and specific marker of myocardial ischemia and infarction; however, ST segment deviation is regional not global, thus the ECG lead must be placed over the affected region of the myocardium. This article describes ACS and infarction and the use of ST segment monitoring to detect these conditions.

Evidence-based information related to the neurobiological bases of alcohol use disorders has not been widely disseminated to individuals affected by alcohol use. The feasibility, acceptability, and effectiveness of the video, Alcohol and the Brain was assessed, guided by the three constructs of the transtheoretical model: processes of change, decisional balance, and self-efficacy.

Public transportation workers are exposed to higher levels of stress related to accidents, injuries, and person-under-train events when compared to other workers. This systematic review integrates the existing literature on mental health among high-risk public transportation workers to estimate the prevalence of post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), major depressive and anxiety symptoms following critical incidents while on duty.

Sepsis is recognized as a major health care problem worldwide. In the United States, mortality from severe sepsis and septic shock remains a serious health problem; yet, the early recognition of sepsis by nurses reduces can reduce mortality, morbidity, and long-term consequences of sepsis for patients. Improving the knowledge of nurses to first recognize the early signs of sepsis and then how to apply the most up-to-date evidence-based treatments can improve outcomes. Enhanced monitoring includes the use of computerized early warning systems to alert nurses of worrisome clinical patterns and promote the early recognition of sepsis.

Nursing Care for the Initial Resuscitation of Severe Sepsis Patients.

Serious burn injuries may have lifelong impacts for individuals that experience them and require timely medical treatment in order to reduce associated morbidity and mortality. Initial management of a burn is nursing intensive and focuses primarily on stopping the burning process, maintaining homeostasis by keeping the patient warm, and replacing lost fluid and electrolytes. As healing progresses, nurses meet the critical needs of the patient and must skillfully manage pain levels, perform burn care, prevent infection, help the patient meet increased nutrient requirements, and address psychological concerns with the goal to restore health and function to the highest possible level.
