Nursing interventions used in school nursing practice.

School nurses need to define clearly their practice and identify the interventions they provide to students, families, and school employees. The purpose of this research was to identify which nursing interventions listed in Nursing Interventions Classification (NIC) are used by school nurses. Of the 174 surveys mailed to school nurses, 78 usable surveys were returned, representing a 45% return rate. Of the 433 NIC interventions, 114 were used by school nurses at least monthly, with 32 of these 114 interventions identified as being used at least once a week.

Doridosine, 1-methylisoguanosine, from Anisodoris nobilis; structure, pharmacological properties and synthesis.

The new N-methylnucleoside named doridosine, isolated from the shell-less marine dorid nudibranch Anisodoris nobilis, has been identified as 1-methylisoguanosine (1) by its spectral properties and by synthesis via methylation of isoguanosine. Doridosine has been shown to be identical to the nucleoside isolated from the Australian sponge Tedania digitata by Quinn, Gregson, Cook and Bartlett. They have also proved their product to be 1-methylisoguanosine. Doridosine was shown to cause prolonged reduced arterial pressure and reduced heart rate in the rat. The action is qualitatively similar to that of adenosine but of much greater duration, possibly because doridosine is resistant to attack by adenosine deaminase.
