Dedicated education units: 1. A new concept for clinical teaching and learning.

The Dedicated Education Unit (DEU) is a new concept in clinical nurse education. The DEU plays a major role in enhancing links between health care providers and The Flinders University of South Australia (FUSA) School of Nursing. This collaborative venture has created a more positive clinical learning environment, maximized the achievement of student learning outcomes, and nurtured closer partnership between clinicians and academics. Recognition of mutuality, respect and trust among all stakeholders is central to its success. This paper (part one) explains the rationale for the DEU and describes its inherent values. Part two reports on an evaluation of the DEU.

Dedicated education units: 2. An evaluation.

This paper reports on an evaluation of a new concept in clinical nurse education: the Dedicated Education Unit (DEU). Developed by the School of Nursing, The Flinders University of South Australia, the DEU aims to optimise undergraduate student learning through enhancement of the clinical learning environment and collaboration between clinicians, academics and students. Three DEUs involving 91 students were evaluated, using primarily summative methods to elicit positive and negative attributes of the DEUs. Outcomes indicated that the DEU is a highly appropriate clinical placement model. (Part one of this paper explained the rationale for the DEU and its key features.)

[Blaschkolinear eruption with biological signs of lupus].

INTRODUCTION: Acquired inflammatory dermatoses of the adult with a blaschkolinear arrangement are rare. Their cause is unknown. CASE REPORT: We report the case of a 35-year-old man who presented an unilateral skin eruption covering the forearm and with secondary blaschkolinear extension to the arm, the axillary region and the chest. In this particular case, the patient was positive for RNP type anti-nuclear antibodies and direct immunofluorescence was positive in both biopsies of the lesions and of healthy skin. The eruption lasted 6 months and regressed spontaneously. DISCUSSION: Such cases are exceptional and the nosology is difficult to establish. A particular form of lupus erythematosus? Fortuitous coexpression of lupus antibodies and blaschkitis in an adult?
