MEA III presenting as pheochromocytoma and complicating pregnancy and the puerperium. A case report.

A case of multiple endocrine adenopathy (MEA III) presenting as pheochromocytoma complicated the immediate puerperium. The patient presented with paroxysmal changes in blood pressure and episodic headaches with vertigo. Computed tomography identified a left adrenal mass that was diagnosed preoperatively as pheochromocytoma, with the diagnosis subsequently confirmed on histologic sections. Pheochromocytoma complicating pregnancy is rare, and fewer than 150 cases have been reported on. MEA III presenting as pheochromocytoma and complicating the puerperium is described here for the first time.

Scope of practice for APNs (advanced practice nurses). Discussion.

A bill for Advanced Practice Nurse (APN) Prescriptive Authority was introduced into the Michigan state legislature in 1996, and again in 1997. The legislation would add registered professional nurses with specialty certification to the list of health practitioners granted independent prescribing rights. Currently, licensed dentists, medical doctors, osteopathic doctors, podiatrists, certified optometrists and veterinarians comprise the list of prescribers.

Nursing: a caring connection. Nurses are essential to healthy leadership teams.

In 1996, the American Hospital Association and the Picker Institute, a national research firm, sponsored an extensive study, summarized in the report Eye on Patients. Focus groups and surveys explored public perceptions of health care and hospitals. The patients and their families reported relatively high rates of satisfaction when surveyed about their experiences, but they also reported serious concerns and worries, primarily with the way the "system" works (or fails to work) and with the changes taking place in health care. As the primary link between patients and a changing health care environment, nurses play a key role in affecting treatment outcomes and perception of the hospital experience.
