Care of the patient having radical neck surgery or permanent laryngostomy: a nursing diagnostic approach.

The patient who undergoes head and neck surgery requires intense nursing management for successful recovery and rehabilitation. Although several authors have presented a nursing diagnosis format care plan, none is as extensive as the one presented here. It is hoped that the preceding nursing care plan will be helpful to nurses in their management of the patient undergoing head and neck surgery.

Effects of meditation and aerobic exercise on EEG patterns.

This study examined the effects of two stress-reducing wellness activities, meditation and aerobic exercise, on electroencephalogram (EEG) patterns of normal subjects. Ten nursing students completed the study: five performed meditation daily and five performed aerobic exercise daily. Stress was determined using the Stanford University Self Assessment and Holmes-Rahe Social Adjustment Rating Scales prior to the stress-reducing activities and again following the six-week study. Although neither group demonstrated a significant increase in alpha waves, self-rating scores for both measures were improved at the end of the six-week study. Meditation and aerobic activity were associated with a perception of increased ability to cope and a generally positive feeling about the value of exercise and meditation in their lives.
