Restraint, seclusion, and clozapine.
BACKGROUND: The effects of clozapine, an unconventional neuroleptic drug, on the use of restraint and seclusion in patients have not been extensively reported on in the United States. METHOD: The records of 107 patients receiving clozapine in Missouri state mental hospitals were reviewed over a 13-month period for frequency and duration of restraint and seclusion. RESULTS: During clozapine treatment, patients had fewer episodes of restraint and seclusion than previously. The duration of restraints and seclusions also decreased, starting the second month after the initiation of clozapine treatment. CONCLUSION: For patients who were restrained or secluded before clozapine treatment, the decrease in the number and duration of restraint and seclusion episodes was dramatic.

Nurse practitioner employment, unemployment, reemployment.
An estimate for nurse practitioner unemployment is attempted, based on responses of 260 graduates of a single program and published data. Reasons for not working are examined. The activity of NPs is compared to registered nurses. Job changers are compared to those who remained in the same job since graduation. Some of the reasons for unemployment and nonparticipation in the labor force are examined. Suggestive evidence on job changing is reviewed. Finally, policy implications are discussed.
