Tactics for counteracting staff apathy and hopelessness on a psychiatric unit.

In summary, then, the five following tactics are minimally demanding, and can provide high rewards in the battle against apathy and hopelessness on a psychiatric ward. 1. Identifying social system mechanisms. 2. Validating perceptions of ward happenings with a trusted other. 3. Giving (and hopefully receiving) "informational-support." 4. Using physical presence or being highly visible. 5. Chatting informally with other staff members.

Electron impact mass spectroscopy for identification of phencyclidine.

The electron impact mass spectrum of phencyclidine (PCP) was studied using both deuterium-labeled analogs and high-resolution mass spectroscopy. The deuterium-labeled compounds used were d5.PCP having 5 deuterium atoms on the phenyl ring, d10.PCP having 10 deuterium atoms on the cyclohexyl ring, and d15.PCP having deuterium atoms on both the phenyl and cyclohexyl rings. The identities of some major fragments and some possible pathways for their formation are shown. Electron impact mass spectroscopy is shown to be a definitive test for the identification of PCP.

Recognizing spiritual needs of orthopaedic patients.

Orthopaedic nurses often are well-educated in dealing with patients' physical and psychologic needs but lack education in caring for the spiritual needs of man. Nurses must realize they, themselves, have spiritual needs and must invest in clarifying their own values and beliefs as well as their patients. To perform a complete spiritual assessment, nurses need to become familiar with the concept of spirituality and what it means in the care of patients. Providing spiritual care is individualized and often complex. The nursing process enables the nurse to plan patient care. Providing spiritual care is a challenge orthopaedic nurses must recognize and assume responsibility for.
