Constipation Management in Parkinson Disease
BACKGROUND: Constipation is the most frequently reported nonmotor gastrointestinal symptom of Parkinson disease and can precede motor symptoms by up to 20 years. The causes of constipation can be multifactorial, but the implications can lead to life-threatening complications. Early recognition of constipation can lead to better health outcomes and quality of life. MANAGEMENT CONSIDERATIONS: The combination of nonpharmacological management through screening tools, nursing assessment, and patient education as well as pharmacological management is considered best practice. IMPLICATIONS FOR PRACTICE: Nurses who are knowledgeab...

Anisocoria Correlates With Injury Severity and Outcomes After Blunt Traumatic Brain Injury
CONCLUSION: Anisocoria correlates with injury severity and with patient outcomes after blunt TBI. Anisocoria after light stimulation seems to be a stronger predictor than does anisocoria in ambient light. These findings represent continued efforts to understand pupillary changes in the setting of TBI. (Source: Journal of Neuroscience Nursing)

A Meta-analysis of the Effect of Motivational Interviewing on Depression, Anxiety, and Quality of Life in Stroke Patients
BACKGROUND: Motivational interviewing has become a popular approach for relieving mood disturbances. We aimed to investigate whether motivational interviewing can effectively improve depression, anxiety, and quality of life among stroke patients. METHODS: Seven electronic databases were searched from inception to March 15, 2021. Other potentially related studies were identified through manually searching the reference lists of empirical articles and relevant review articles. Randomized controlled trials that investigated the effects of motivational interviewing on stroke patients with mood disturbances were deemed eligible...

Exploring the Relationship Between Objective Pupillometry Metrics and Midline Shift
CONCLUSIONS: Results from this project are consistent with previous studies. Objective pupillometry continues to be a valuable component of a comprehensive neurological examination, because it has the ability to discern early and subtle changes in a patient's neurological status, leading to lifesaving interventions.

Discharge Transition Experience for Lumbar Fusion Patients: A Qualitative Study
CONCLUSION: To further expedite the discharge process and make better use of cooperative hospital resources, conducting preoperative treatment planning, identifying family and social support systems, and sharing treatment procedures are all required. Furthermore, thorough health information services and step-by-step courses on predicted problems and everyday living after surgery should be considered for postoperative education. It is critical to broadening the scope of preoperative and postoperative education programs, as well as assistance for the social support system, such as the family-based support system and cooperat...

An Integrative Review: Early Mobilization of Patients With External Ventriculostomy Drains in the Neurological Intensive Care Unit
CONCLUSION: There is a need to clarify best practices for early mobilization of patients with EVDs in the neurological ICU and to explore the influence of early mobilization on patients' rates of venous thromboembolism, catheter-associated urinary tract infections, catheter line-associated blood stream infections, ventilator-associated pneumonia, and ventriculostomy-related infections. No studies measured the total time the EVD was clamped during the patient mobilization intervention or the total amount of cerebrospinal fluid drainage on the day of mobilization. Early mobilization of patients with EVDs in the neurological ...

Exploring the Face Validity of the Pain Numeric Rating Scale Among Healthcare Providers
BACKGROUND: Healthcare providers (HCPs) use the numeric rating scale (NRS) under the assumption that it provides reliable information from which to make decisions regarding analgesic administration. METHODS: We explored the face validity of the NRS using a prospective single-blinded observational design. Pre and post NRS scores were obtained from HCPs who submerged their hand in a bucket of ice water (pain stimulus). RESULTS: Despite a consistent similar pain source, individual HCPs rated their pain very differently (range, 2–10), and there was a significant difference in self-estimated pain tolerance (μ = 7.06 [SD, 1.4...

Ischemic Stroke Risk Among Adult Brain Tumor Survivors: Evidence to Guide Practice
CONCLUSION: Nurses play a key role in the assessment, prevention, and identifying individuals who are at risk of AIS during brain tumor survivorship. Engaging patients and their caregivers on minimizing their risks of AIS is crucial in the outpatient setting. Annual surveillance visits that include intracranial artery imaging should be used to identify individuals considered most at risk for developing AIS symptoms.
