An IV therapy teaching tool for children.
IV therapy is an anxiety provoking procedure for children who are hospitalized and their families. Adequate preparation can ease children's fears and promote cooperation. A teaching tool was designed to be used with medical play to prepare preschoolers and school-age children for the procedure. An understanding of the use of learning principles to guide design can assist nurses in developing similar teaching tools for children.

Philosophy and technique for excimer laser phototherapeutic keratectomy.
Phototherapeutic keratectomy (PTK) with the excimer laser has been shown to be effective in removing anterior corneal pathology and smoothing surface irregularities. Blocking agents are important in PTK. The techniques we present seek to balance therapeutic effect and refractive error change. Successful PTK depends on thorough preoperative assessment and attention to intraoperative detail. Clinical research has demonstrated that the excimer laser is an effective tool, not only for correcting myopic refractive errors, but also for treating various types of anterior corneal pathology. We present our PTK techniques that reflect recent refinements.
