157. Changes in transcultural nursing and its influence on the growth of australian aboriginal children

Author

Holaday, B. and Alsop-Shields, L.

Abstract

The health of Australian Aboriginal people is reportedly poor. This report discusses how nurses, over a generation, have helped improve the health of children at an Aboriginal community in Queensland, Australia. By delivering health services using the principles of transcultural nursing, the nurses were able to deliver culturally congruent nursing care. This empowered the families to become active seekers of health care, rather than passive recipients.

159. Hydrolysis of Natural Phytate Phosphorus in the Digestive Tract of Calves

Author

Nelson, T. S., Daniels, L. B., Hall, J. R., and Shields, L. G.

Abstract

The hydrolysis of natural phytate phosphorus in theintestinaltract of cattle was determined in two balance studies. Four calves 56 days old and six steers 9 months of age were fed a diet composed primarily of either corn or sorghum grain and soybean meal. Traces of phytate phosphorus were recovered in the feces of the younger calves while none was evident in the feces of older calves. No phytate was recovered from the contents of the rumen, abomasum, small and large intestines of three calves fed a ration composed primarily of sorghum grains and soybean meal.

160. Platelet aggregation in rabbits made tolerant to endotoxin

Author

Walker, R I, Shields, L J, and Fletcher, J R

Abstract

Endotoxin may cause abnormal deposition of platelet-endotoxin aggregates, and this event could have damaging effects. We compared the aggregation characteristics of platelets from rabbits made tolerant to the lethal effects of endotoxin with those of platelets from normal rabbits. Platelets from tolerant rabbits aggregated more rapidly (greater than 90 s faster) in the presence of endotoxin than did platelets from nontolerant animals. Furthermore, platelets from tolerant animals aggregated reversibly. These characteristics of platelets from tolerant animals are due to humoral factors in the plasma, because 1:1 dilution of normal platelet-rich plasma with plasma from tolerant rabbits caused the normal platelets to behave like those from tolerant animals. Survival after challenge with lethal quantities of endotoxin was enhanced in tolerant rabbits; this may be due to promotion of more efficient removal of endotoxin-platelet complexes from the blood by the reticuloendothelial system.

162. Carbonate Clay: Measurement and Relationship to Clay Distribution and Cation‐Exchange Capacity

Author

Shields, L. G. and Meyer, M. W.

Abstract

A method for the determination of carbonate clay as an integral part of the pipette method for particle‐size analysis is given. Carbonate clay is calculated by measuring the gravimetric loss of CO2from a 50‐ml. aliquot of the clay (< 2µ) fraction. For some calcareous soil materials a substantial proportion of the clay fraction consists of carbonate. A survey is given of the proportion of carbonate that is claysize. Five kinds of clay percentages for calcareous soil materials are discussed. The application of carbonate clay data to the interpretations of clay distribution curves is presented. Evidence is presented that carbonate, including carbonate clay, has negligible cation‐exchange capacity. The effect of the presence of carbonate clay on the calculated cation‐exchange capacity of the clay fraction is discussed.

164. IMPROVING DIAGNOSIS AND MANAGEMENT OF URINARY TRACT INFECTIONS FOR ELDERLY PATIENTS.

Abstract

Introduction: Diagnosis of urinary tract infection (UTI) in the elderly population is challenging as they commonly present with atypical signs and symptoms. Prevalence of asymptomatic bacteriuria in the elderly population is high. Hence, urine dipstick and urine culture are no longer diagnostic tests. UTI is over-diagnosed and overtreated in the elderly, resulting in poor antimicrobial stewardship. This project was carried out to assess and improve the current practices in the diagnosis and treatment of UTI in the Department of Medicine of the Elderly. Methods: We reviewed current Scottish Intercollegiate Guidelines Network (SIGN) and National Institute for health and Care Excellence (NICE) guidelines on management of UTI and defined indications for performing urine dipstick and sending urine culture. We then collected and assessed data on all urine dipsticks performed, urine cultures sent, and use of antibiotics in treating UTI and asymptomatic bacteriuria in three Medicine of the Elderly wards in Aberdeen Royal Infirmary. We carried out intervention by means of presenting and discussing findings of Plan-Do- Study-Act (PDSA) cycles in departmental multi-disciplinary Quality Improvement (QI) meetings followed by educational sessions. Results: Our baseline data showed 77% of urine dipsticks were performed without clinical indication and 18% of patients had urine cultures sent without clinical indication. After presenting our initial findings and carrying out an educational intervention session, 25% of patients had urine dipstick done without clinical indication, and 0% of patients had urine cultures sent without clinical indication. However, over the course of four subsequent PDSA cycles, practices in investigation of UTI fluctuated but were overall consistently better than the initial practice with further interventions. In all PDSA cycles, no patients were treated for asymptomatic bacteriuria. Conclusions: Multidisciplinary team involvement in discussion of this QI project findings and educational sessions proved to be an effective form of intervention for improving current practice.
