Outpatient quality assurance monitor: constipation/encopresis.

Quality Assurance (QA) programs assure that patients are getting the appropriate care, information, and support needed to produce better health outcomes. In this article, the authors describe monitoring nursing process by documentation of care in patients with constipation/encopresis. Longitudinal follow up to monitor patient outcomes completed the QA program. The process portion of the monitor was very successful, but the results of the outcome monitor were disappointing.

Clinical dose-response studies with guanfacine (BS 100-141), a new antihypertensive agent.

1. Blood pressure, pulse rate, salivary flow and the degree of sedation were recorded at intervals following oral administration of single doses of guanfacine, a clonidine-like agent, to hypertensive patients. 2. Between 2 and 10 h after administration of guanfacine (3 mg or 5 mg), there were dose-related decrease in lying and standing blood pressure, together with significant reductions in pulse rate and salivary flow. 3. It is concluded that guanfacine lowers blood pressure in hypertensive patients and is probably suitable for twice daily administration, but produces xerostomia and sedation.
