Simultaneous GLC determination of clofibrate and clofibric acid in human plasma.

A simultaneous assay for the detection of clofibrate and its metabolite, clofibric acid [2-(p-chlorophenoxy)-2-methylpropionic acid], is described. This GLC method is rapid and does not require a derivatization step. It is sensitive to 1-microgram/ml levels of either compound in biological samples and can be used to characterize the in vivo conversion of clofibrate ester to the free acid.

Changes in leadership styles as a function of a four-day leadership training institute for nurse managers: a perspective on continuing education program evaluation.

This study measured changes in knowledge acquisition and application of the Hersey and Blanchard model of leadership styles and leadership style adaptability among 144 registered nurses who participated in a four-day management institute. A pre- and post-institute administration of the LEAD-Self instrument was conducted. Although the findings demonstrated a significant change in the participants' leadership styles, the data revealed that outcomes were not as positive as had been assumed based on participants' self-reports. The discussion of findings reveals the complexity and the necessity of measuring learning outcomes for continuing education program improvement.
