Emergency nursing care of the burned patient.

The emergency nursing care of patients with major burns presents one of nursing's greatest challenges. Priority is given to lifesaving measures. After a quick overall assessment, a careful estimate of fluid and electrolyte loss is made. An issue in burn care is whether colloids should be given in the immediate postburn period. Large amounts of fluid are always given, and balanced salt solutions are being used increasingly without colloid. The patient's response to fluid therapy can be monitored by central venous pressure readings, vital signs, and hourly measurements of urinary output. Psychologic and physiologic stress intensify the problems and should be kept to a minimum. Only after other aspects of care have been attended is attention directed to care of the burn wound.

Institutional sources of articles published in the American Journal of Nursing, Nursing Outlook, and Nursing Research.

To identify institutions in which scholarly productivity in nursing is occurring, all articles appearing in American Journal of Nursing, Nursing Outlook, and Nursing Research from 1963 to 1977 were tabulated according to institutional affiliation of author, geographic location of institution, and highest degree obtained by the author. More than half of the 5,560 articles appeared in AJN, and more than half were written by authors in the Mid-Atlantic and North Central areas by the U.S.A. Fifty-eight percent of the articles were written by nurses with at least a masters degree. There were 32 institutions in which at least 20 articles originated during the 15 years studied. The three top-ranking institutions, according to number of publications, were University of Washington, University of California at San Francisco, and the University of California at Los Angeles. The findings revealed that publications in AJN, NO, and NR originated in a large number of institutions and that there were few institutions in which large numbers of articles originated.
