Selection and implementation of a transparent dressing for central vascular access devices.

The selection of new central venous access devices (CVADs), line dressing, and nursing clinical practices was guided by the Center for Advanced Nursing Practice's Evidence-Based Practice Model. The model's evidence-triggered, evidence-supported, evidence-observed, and evidence-based phases provided structure that guided a systematic process in which best practice was incorporated into the clinical setting, based on clinician insights, evaluation of authoritative literature, and examination of three CVAD dressings as an intervention using various study methods. This article discusses study findings, recommendations, and implications for nursing practice. CVAD dressing integrity has clinical practice applicability in multiple settings along the care continuum.

Postpartum psychosis in the male.

The occurrence of postpartum psychosis in a male patient after the birth of a child is described in this case report. An association with the phenomenon of the couvade syndrome that is observed in all cultures is made. Also, the stressful life event of pregnancy in a partner related to the onset and development of psychotic disturbance is reported. Emotional disorders which develop in women during pregnancy are compared and contrasted with the variable responses which men manifest. Signs and symptoms heralding the onset of a more pathological pregnancy response in men are offered. The authors suggest that the experience of couvade be defined as a spectrum disorder of pathological responses in males ranging from physical symptoms to psychosis as a reaction to pregnancy. This case represents the extreme end of that spectrum and suggestions are made for early identification and treatment.
