The Impact of Nurse-Physician Relationships on Emergency Nurses ’ Moral Distress
Moral distress affects registered nurses ’ job dissatisfaction, and may ultimately be associated with higher rates of turnover. Nurse-physician relationships have been shown to affect moral distress in the intensive care unit setting, but no research has evaluated this impact on emergency nurses. The purpose of this study was to investig ate the impact of nurse-physician relationships on the moral distress of emergency nurses. (Source: Journal of Emergency Nursing: JEN)

Do Experienced Nurses Benefit From Training on Bleeding Control in the Community Setting?
Nurses ’ preparedness to provide hemorrhage control aid outside of the patient care setting has not been thoroughly evaluated. We evaluated nurses’ preparedness to provide hemorrhage control in the prehospital setting after a proof-of-concept training event. (Source: Journal of Emergency Nursing: JEN)

Testing Interventions to Address Bias About Patients with Opioid Use Disorder in the Emergency Department
Reducing nurse bias about patients with opioid use disorder in the emergency department is critical for providing nonjudgmental care, enhancing patient outcomes, supporting effective communication, and promoting a holistic approach to care. Emergency nurses can make a positive impact on the lives of individuals diagnosed as having opioid use disorder by providing care that is free from stigma and discrimination.

Implementation of a Heparin Infusion Calculator in the Electronic Health Record System as a Risk-Mitigation Strategy in a Community Teaching Hospital Emergency Department
According to the Institute for Safe Medication Practices, unfractionated heparin is a high-risk medication due to the potential for medication errors and adverse events. Unfractionated heparin is often started in the emergency department for patients with acute coronary syndromes or coagulopathies. Risk-mitigation strategies should be implemented to ensure appropriate initiation and monitoring of this high-risk medication. In 2019, an unfractionated heparin calculator was built into the electronic health record at a community medical center. (Source: Journal of Emergency Nursing: JEN)

Triage Acute Vision Changes in the Older Adult as “High Risk”
When an adult, aged 65 years or older, presents to the emergency department with complaints of “changes in vision,” it is important to quickly to determine type and onset of vision change and events before the vision change. Vision changes after trauma to the face or eye should be triaged and treated similarly to a patient of any age. Patients presenting with a slow onset of vision change s (eg, open-angle-closure glaucoma, cataracts, age-related macular degeneration, and diabetic retinopathy) do not require emergent therapy in the emergency department, but do need a referral to an ophthalmologist.

A Closed Degloving Injury: Morel-Lavall ée Lesion
Morel-Lavall ée lesions (MLLs) occur when the skin and subcutaneous tissue abruptly separate from the underlying muscle fascia plane due to shearing force. This shearing force disrupts the perforating vessels and lymphatic ducts, resulting in a potential space filled with effusion containing lymph, blood, and n ecrotic fat. However, these effusions may be easily overlooked or misdiagnosed as simple soft tissue hematomas due to their rarity and lack of awareness among clinical practitioners. Prompt diagnosis of a closed degloving injury is crucial; otherwise, complications may include continued expansion, i nfection, tissu...

Unrecognized Extravascular Misplaced Hemodialysis Catheter Leading to Mediastinal Hematoma
Insertion of the hemodialysis catheter resulting in mechanical complications is not uncommon. Most significant morbidities can be reliably evaluated using postprocedural chest radiography, however, an extracava catheter misplacement leading to hemomediastinum is very rare and the radiographic findings may be subtle. If it is not recognized early, a significant morbidity can occur. The radiographic manifestations of mediastinum hematoma include mediastinal or paratracheal stripe widening, apical cap sign, and deviation of trachea or bronchus, but it cannot provide adequate sensitivity or specificity for the diagnostic confi...

Triage: A Global Perspective
Triage is a process by which patients are assessed, classified, and sorted based on their presenting complaint and clinical urgency, providing assurance for timely access to emergency care. The goal is to get the right person to the right place, in the right amount of time, for the right reason, and within the context of resource availability. In many countries, a standardized triage system, underpinned through the use of guidelines, is used to provide clinicians with support and guidance. Triage is a globally adopted principle, and although triage guidelines are used in many countries, no single system has been internatio...

Comment on “Neurogenic Shock: A Case Report” J EmergNurs 2023;49:495-8
I read with anticipation the recent article “Neurogenic Shock: A Case Report” J EmergNurs 2023;49:495-8. I have a clinical passion and expertise for neurologic emergencies and have written and presented locally, regionally, and nationally on the subject for over 3 decades. After reading this case report, I feel compelled to voice my conce rn that the reader would be confused about the appropriate treatment for neurogenic shock.
