This commentary begins as a question and makes a call for action. The question is: “Are ICU (intensive care unit) patients' outcomes related to the degree to which the patients' nurses practice the art of nursing unique to critical care?” When nurses address patients' basic human needs as opposed to tending solely to tasks, it likely affects the patients' vital signs, need for analgesia or sedation, adverse effects of stress, and short- and long-term outcomes.

Long-term Renal Outcomes in Adults With Sepsis-Induced Acute Kidney Injury: A Systematic Review
Conclusions To better understand the long-term renal outcomes after sepsis-induced AKI, more consistent measures are needed across all studies regarding the time frame and specific renal outcomes.

Do Illness Perception Predict Perceived Learning Needs Among Patients Treated With Percutaneous Coronary Intervention
Background The number of coronary heart disease (CHD) patients treated with percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) has increased. The illness perception (IP) of PCI recipients needs to be evaluated. Yet, little is known whether patients' IP predicts perceived learning needs among patients treated with PCI. Objective The aim of this study was to assess patients' IP and to examine its influence on perceived learning needs post PCI. Methods A cross-sectional design was used. A convenience sample of 208 patients who had undergone first-time PCI participated in the study. Data were collected before patients were disch...
