Nursing Diagnosis Accuracy in Nursing Education: Clinical Decision Support System Compared With Paper-Based Documentation-A Before and After Study
Comput Inform Nurs. 2023 Aug 15. doi: 10.1097/CIN.0000000000001066. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTComputer-based technologies have been widely used in nursing education, although the best educational modality to improve documentation and nursing diagnostic accuracy using electronic health records is still under investigation. It is important to address this gap and seek an effective way to address increased accuracy around nursing diagnoses identification.

Commentary on: Bispo GS, de Lima Lopes J, de Barros AL. Cardiovascular changes resulting from sexual activity and sexual dysfunction after myocardial infarction: integrative review. J Clin Nurs 2013;22:3522–31. Implications for practice and research Risk of myocardial infarction (MI) or arrhythmia with sexual activity is low, despite anxieties expressed by patients.

Peripheral Arterial Disease Screening Within a Hispanic Community
Peripheral arterial disease (PAD) affects 8-12 million Americans annually. By 2050, PAD is estimated to affect 9.6-16 million Americans over age 65. PAD develops when the arteries supplying blood to the extremities become narrowed, largely due to atherosclerosis. Typically PAD refers to diseases of the arteries in the legs which are plagued by fatty deposits that progress and result in varying degrees of stenosis. With decreased blood flow to the leg muscles, individuals with PAD experience a cramp or ache which causes them to stop and rest. As PAD advances, infections and ulcers may develop. Additionally, individuals wit...

Factors Affecting Decision Making in Hispanics Experiencing Myocardial Infarction
It was estimated that 785,000 new myocardial infarctions (MIs), 470,000 recurrent MIs, and 195,000 silent MIs will occur during 2010 in the United States. Cardiovascular disease, including heart disease and stroke, is the cause of death for 27% of Hispanic males and 31.5% of Hispanic females. There has been an increasing discrepancy between Hispanic knowledge in recognition of MI symptoms compared with non-Hispanic Whites. Only 5.6 % to 27.4 % of Hispanics know all MI symptoms and the need to immediately activate emergency medical services, compared with 11.9% to 45.8% of non-Hispanic Whites. The health belief model is use...
