Integration of Bias Consciousness in Advanced Pharmacology for Nurse Practitioner Students
Bias can impact prescribing. Nurse practitioner students can benefit from enhanced bias content in advanced pharmacology courses. A presurvey –postsurvey examined student improvement in 5 key areas over a semester of enhanced bias content. The average assessment score significantly improved 6% from preintervention (mean, 60.89; SD, 9.5) to postintervention (mean, 66.73; SD, 13.70; t43 = 2.52, P = .008, d = 0.38). Bias persisted in id entifying incorrect statements specific to depressive disorders during pregnancy. (Source: The Journal for Nurse Practitioners)

The Role of RNA Interference Therapeutics in Hypercholesterolemia and Implications for Practice
An estimated 80% of patients with dyslipidemia do not reach their targeted low-density lipoprotein-cholesterol goals. Despite the use of traditional lipid-lowering therapies, challenges exist in getting patients to goal. Long-acting RNA interference (RNAi) therapeutics represent the next generation of medication that can provide up to 50% reduction of low-density lipoprotein-cholesterol, with few adverse effects for patients who need additional therapy or are intolerant or nonadherent to statin therapy.

A Concept Analysis: Patient Empowerment in Previvor Women Diagnosed with BRCA1/2 Mutations
Individuals may experience negative psychological consequences if diagnosed with Breast Cancer gene 1 or 2 (BRCA1/2) mutations, which can negatively impact health. A clear definition of patient empowerment among individuals with BRCA1/2 genetic predispositions is needed to determine strategies for managing uncertainty faced by these women. The aim of this concept analysis was to construct a definition of patient empowerment in women diagnosed with BRCA1/2 mutations. Patient empowerment has the potential to increase self-efficacy, control over health, quality of life and improve health outcomes. (Source: The Journal for Nurse Practitioners)
