The fallacy of independence testing and the use of the product rule.

Use of the product rule which implies the assumption of within and between locus independence, is still common, particularly in the United States of America. Whilst it may be considered by some to be an acceptable approximation it is not logical to suggest that independence testing somehow "validates" its use. This paper discusses the nature of this fallacy.

"Oh no, the patient is six, not sixty!": the pediatric endoscopy patient.

The success of a pediatric endoscopic procedure from the point of view of both the nurse and the child depends on many factors. It is necessary for the nurse to prepare the pediatric patient both physically and emotionally. The physical preparation includes diet orders, colon preps, and venipuncture techniques. The emotional preparation includes preparing the pediatric patient in a developmentally appropriate manner. Nurses facilitate the child's tolerance of the procedure through the processes of trust, understanding, and mastery. These preparations are viewed as essential in order for the child to integrate this medical experience into his/her already existing repertoire of experiences as positive. Conscious sedation and recommendations for monitoring child safely are important pediatric considerations, as are recovery and discharge instructions. A table for pediatric vital signs, an endoscopy unit scoring sheet, and sample discharge instructions are included in this article. The information presented in this article can help the experienced pediatric nurse, as well as the nurse who only occasionally cares for the pediatric patient, make the endoscopy procedure more successful.

Advancing nursing in the academic community: adopt an administrator.

The role of faculty in nursing schools is unique. Faculty members belong to the community of scholars, as well as the community of practitioners. The authors describe a program to educate key university leaders about the role of nursing faculty. The program achieved its objectives in a timely, cost-effective manner, and could be easily replicated at other universities.

A psychodrama group for health workers.

Although much has been written about psychodrama as a therapeutic and educational method with patients, there is little evidence of its effectiveness as an activity for professional clinicians. The authors describe how the basic elements, phases and techniques of psychodrama have been used with groups of health workers to improve their clinical performance and personal life. The therapy has important applications in helping staff come to terms with the emotional stresses of their work with patients.
