The Queen's Medical Center Honolulu, Hawaii.
The Queen's Medical Center created and almost fully realized a vision of professional nursing practice. This vision was mission-driven and philosophically oriented in that our Hawaiian heritage and commitment to a patient-centered focus dictated the direction taken. Utilizing the nursing process, we listened to our patients in identifying the nursing model to best meet their needs: primary nursing. In order to achieve that, the nurse at the bedside had to be empowered to make decisions directly impacting patient care. We further committed to treating the whole patient and considering complementary therapies. We have established an evaluation baseline and are committed to a process that will carry us into the year 2000.
Comparison of enrichment methods and atmosphere modification procedures for isolating Campylobacter jejuni from foods.
A comparison was made of enrichment broths for recovery of Campylobacter jejuni from food by the methods of Doyle and Roman (Appl. Environ. Microbiol. 43:1343-1353) and of Park et al. (Can. J. Microbiol. 27:841-842). No significant differences were found between the results obtained with the two broths. Recovery was greater, however, with a constant gas flow into the broths than with an evacuation-replacement method.
ICMSF methods studies. X. An international comparative study of four media for the enumeration of Staphylococcus aureus in foods.
An international comparative study, undertaken by six laboratories to assess the performance of four selective media commonly used for the enumeration of Staphylococcus aureus in foods, revealed that Baird-Parker agar performed most satisfactorily. There was no significant difference among milk salt, tellurite polymyxin egg yolk, and kalium rhodanid - actidione - natriumazid - eigelb - pyruvat (KRANEP) agars. The type of food examined appeared to influence the performance of the media, but no specific patterns could be determined. Cultures yielding 3+ and 4+ coagulase reactions are most likely to possess thermostable nuclease activity, and are therefore most likely to be S. aureus.

Most probable number method for isolation and enumeration of Staphylococcus aureus in foods: collaborative study.
Enumeration of Staphylococcus aureus in foods was collaboratively studied by comparing the present AOAC final action method, 46.062, which uses trypticase soy broth with 10% NaCl to a proposed replacement method which uses the same broth with 1% sodium pyruvate added. Fifteen collaborators analyzed uninoculated samples of milk, tuna salad, and ground turkey, as well as samples inoculated with low (10(2) cells/g), middle (10(4) cells/g), and high (10(6) cells/g) levels of S. aureus. The samples were frozen immediately to maintain the inoculated level of S. aureus in the food. A different strain of S. aureus was used for each food; heat-stressed S. aureus cells were used to inoculate the milk samples. The pyruvate-amended broth significantly (alpha = 0.05) increased enumeration of low, middle, and high levels of S. aureus from milk and ground turkey, and from tuna salad at middle and high levels. The pyruvate-amended media method has been adopted official first action to replace method 46.062.
