Temporary cardiac pacing.

The use of temporary cardiac pacing in critical care and stepdown units has grown tremendously over the past 10 years. While the concept of artificial pacing is simple, improvements in generator technology and lead design, along with broader clinical applications, have made temporary cardiac pacing more complex. Consequently, the critical care nurse is required to maintain an advanced level of knowledge regarding modes and complications of temporary pacing, and assessment skills related to recognizing pacemaker hemodynamic effects and pacemaker problems.

Memory error. Developing a new nursing diagnosis.

It is recommended that memory error, the inability to encode, maintain, or retrieve information, be identified as a nursing diagnosis. Two different types of memory error, forgetting to take a medication at the scheduled time and being unable to remember whether a medication has already been taken, are discussed in terms of nursing diagnosis and intervention.

An analysis of the writings of Janet Geister and Mary Roberts regarding the problems of private duty nursing.

Fifty years ago there were two widely circulated nursing journals, each with a unique purpose and style. The Trained Nurse and Hospital Review was the privately owned older journal, and the American Journal of Nursing was the voice of the professional organization. Each journal was edited by a strong nursing leader, Janet Geister and Mary Roberts, respectively. Each editor had many years of service to the nursing profession in varied capacities. Naturally, each had distinctly different interests, visions, and styles of communication. These editors witnessed and commented on the change in the sphere of nursing practice from a private duty and public health orientation to one that eventually became dominated by the hospital. Although their approaches differed, both recognized the need for organization, versatility, and creative problem solving. However, the legacy of these leaders must be considered in view of the gap that continues to exist between practicing nurses and the American Nurses' Association leadership.
