Using complementary and alternative therapies to promote comfort at end of life.
Dying is a journey for all involved. We have been fortunate to work in a hospital with both an ICU and a palliative care/hospice unit. We have transferred patients for whom care was withdrawn and who were still alive on the next day to the palliative care unit and have found the transfer to work to maximize comfort in dying. For many patients and families who have developed relationships with the staff in their ICU, the combination of established relationships, traditional therapies, and CAT maximizes the comfort during the dying process.

Management of hyperglycemic emergencies.
The prevalence of diabetes mellitus makes the occurrence of hyperglycemic emergencies a key component in clinical practice. The expert nurse is well positioned to manage both diabetic ketoacidosis and hyperosmolar hyperglycemic states. Patient care management includes a high index of suspicion for awareness for the possibility of diabetic ketoacidosis or hyperosmolar hyperglycemic states in patients based on a multifactorial etiology, evidence-based treatment of the emergent episode, and tertiary prevention to prevent recurrent episodes.
