How are you doing? Patient evaluations of nursing actions.
1. Quality of patient care can be enhanced if we know what nursing actions psychiatric patients perceive as helpful. Previous research has focused on perceptions of patients on medical-surgical units. 2. Patients diagnosed with bipolar disorder tended to see nursing actions as more helpful and performed more frequently than patients diagnosed with substance abuse. 3. Although positive feedback was identified as one of the most helpful nursing actions, it was rated only average in frequency of performance. 4. Even patients who had histories of long hospitalization did not want nursing staff to do things for them that they could do for themselves. Nurses need to focus on teaching self-care skills rather than "doing for" the patient.

The effect of electroconvulsive shock on the attenuation of taste-aversion conditioning produced by flavor preexposure.
The effect of electroconvulsive shock on the attenuation of taste-aversion conditioning produced by preexposure to the flavor conditioned stimulus (CS) was examined in three experiments. Electroconvulsive shock administered immediately after flavor preexposure attenuated the flavor-preexposure effect whereas delayed electroconvulsive shock did not. Attenuation of the flavor-preexposure effect resulted even though memory for the flavor CS remained intact, suggesting that electroconvulsive shock interfered with associative processes.

The nature of ethical expertise.
Critics of clinical ethicists sometimes claim that if there were expertise in ethics, then there would have to be objective moral knowledge. They also assume that there would be only one kind of ethics expertise, and that it would be a kind of professional specialization. All three assumptions are mistaken.
