March 2018

Editor-in-Chief Shawn Kennedy presents the highlights of the March issue of AJN. The authors of our first CE, “Original Research: An Investigation into the Safety of Oral Intake During Labor,” compared the maternal and neonatal outcomes among laboring women permitted ad lib oral intake with those permitted nothing by mouth except for ice chips. Our second CE, “Malnutrition in Older Adults,” reviews the many cognitive, psychological, social, and economic factors that can affect the nutritional status of older adults, and how nurses can intervene to prevent and address malnutrition in these patients. Our next article, “Cultivating Quality: Expanding RN Scope of Practice to Include Lumbar Puncture,” discusses a QI initiative that enhanced access to neurology services in an ambulatory clinic by teaching nurses to perform lumbar puncture. “Supporting Family Caregivers: No Longer Home Alone: Teaching Wound Care to Family Caregivers” reviews methods to promote wound healing that nurses can use to teach family caregivers, and includes links to instructional videos. In addition, there’s News, Reflections, Drug Watch, Art of Nursing, and more.
