Women and HIV pre-exposure prophylaxis

Why are new HIV cases still occurring when we have preventive treatment? One reason could be a lack of knowledge and experience among healthcare professionals to discuss, prescribe, and manage PrEP for vulnerable patients. Lack of information and discomfort with prescribing PrEP remain ongoing issues among healthcare professionals in the United States. Healthcare professionals should know how to identify appropriate candidates for PrEP, provide general education, and prescribe necessary preventive treatment.

Empathy in ostomy care

Empathy relies on understanding an experience from another’s perspective. A simulated learning activity such as wearing an ostomy bag for a day, in combination with reflective writing in preparation for debriefing, provides an opportunity for developing empathy, which is linked to improved patient experiences and outcomes.

Nurse leader rounds plus

Patients’ perceptions of their care may not correlate to the actual quality of care given but rather their beliefs about what they perceive as quality care. Nurse leaders must address the patient experience with approaches that impact multiple goals simultaneously. One such approach involves nurse leader rounds, or what we call “nurse leader rounds plus.” This underutilized initiative can improve the patient experience, enhance the culture of safety, and increase staff engagement.

Nurses’ role in skin cancer prevention

Skin cancer has reached epidemic proportions—one in five Americans will develop some form by age 70.

These authors conducted a study to evaluate nurses’ understanding of skin cancer and sun-protective behaviors as well as their skill and comfort with patient screening and education.
