New Editions in Nursing

Code of Ethics for Nurses with Interpretive Statements, 2nd ed., 2015

FROM THE PREFACE: The Code of Ethics for Nurses with Interpretive Statements (the Code) establishes the ethical standard for the profession and provides a guide for nurses to use in ethical analysis and decision-making. The Code is nonnegotiable in any setting. It may be revised or amended only by formal processes established by the American Nurses Association (ANA). The Code arises from the long, distinguished, and enduring moral tradition of modern nursing in the United States. It is foundational to nursing theory, practice, and praxis in its expression of the values, virtues, and obligations that shape, guide, and inform nursing as a profession….

Nursing Informatics: Scope & Standards of Practice, 2nd ed., 2015

FROM THE INTRO: The American Nurses Association (ANA) identified nursing informatics as a nursing specialty in 1992. The first scope of practice statement for this specialty, Scope of Practice for Nursing Informatics, was published in 1994, followed by the 1995 release of an accompanying resource, Standards of Practice for Nursing Informatics. Those early publications were replaced in 2001 by the Scope and Standards of Nursing Informatics Practice, which combined both the scope and Standards of practice into one document and created an enhanced and more robust definition of nursing informatics to reflect the contemporary healthcare informatics environment. The 2008 Nursing Informatics: Scope and Standards of Practice followed with a slightly revised specialty definition of nursing informatics and inclusion of an expanded presentation of competencies for the informatics nurse and informatics nurse specialist….

Nursing: Scope & Standards of Practice, 3rd ed., 2015

FROM THE OVERVIEW: Registered nurses practicing in the United States have two contemporary professional resources that inform their thinking and decision-making and guide their practice. First, the Code of Ethics for Nurses with Interpretive Statements (American Nurses Association, 2015) lists the nine succinct provisions and accompanying interpretive statements that establish the ethical framework for registered nurses’ practice across all roles, levels, and settings. Secondly, the 2015 Nursing: Scope and Standards of Practice, Third Edition, outlines the expectations of professional nursing practice. The scope of practice statement presents the framework and context of nursing practice and accompanies the standards of professional nursing practice and their associated competencies that identify the evidence of the standard of care….

Red Book Online eAlerts: HPV Vaccine Coverage Low

The Huntington Health Sciences Library subscribes to Red Book Online, access it from a hospital networked computer (or from off-site via Citrix/Connect access to the library’s webpage). Contact the library for more information.

Red Book Online Special Alert – July 26, 2013

A survey conducted by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, using the National Immunization Survey-Teen (NIS-Teen), shows that human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccine coverage levels in the US among adolescent girls 13-17 years of age did not change from 2011 to 2012 despite steady increases each year from 2007 to 2011.In 2012, all missed vaccine HPV vaccination opportunities accounted for 84.0%. Had these missed opportunities been eliminated, coverage with ?1 doses could have reached 92.6%. The top reasons surveyed parents gave for not planning to vaccinate their daughters included:

• They didn’t believe the vaccine was needed
• The vaccine was not recommended
• They had concerns regarding the vaccine’s safety
• They lacked knowledge about the vaccine or the disease
• Their daughter was not sexually active

By increasing three-dose HPV vaccination to 80% coverage, an additional 53,000 (estimated) cases of cervical cancer could be prevented over the lifetime of those 12 years of age and older. Healthcare providers can help increase coverage by taking advantage of every healthcare encounter to assess every adolescent’s vaccination status.

See the full report in Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report (MMWR).

Red Book Online Publishes Two New Updates

Red Book Online Special Alert – July 10, 2013: Red Book Online Publishes Two New Updates

Red Book Online Updates contain information that is developed specifically for Red Book Online to enhance or update current Red Book content between print editions. The American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) recently published a policy statement and clinical report for which related Updates have been added to Red Book Online. Please visit Red Book Online to see these new Updates.

Update: Clostridium difficile Infection in Infants and Children

The incidence of Clostridium difficile infections among hospitalized children has been increasing in the United States since 1997. To address the diagnosis, treatment, and control of this important infection, the AAP Committee on Infectious Diseases recently released a new policy statement, “Clostridium difficile Infection in Infants and Children” in Pediatrics (2013;131:196-200).

The recommendations in this new policy statement are consistent with the Clostridium difficile chapter in the current edition of Red Book (p. 285).

For a summary of this AAP policy statement, please see the AAP News article.

Update: Management of Asymptomatic Neonates Born to Women with Active Genital Herpes Lesions

A new clinical report from the AAP Committee on Infectious Diseases and the AAP Committee on Fetus and Newborn seeks to simplify the approach to managing a baby born to a woman with genital herpes simplex virus lesions. “Guidance on Management of Asymptomatic Neonates Born to Women with Active Genital Herpes Lesions” was recently published in Pediatrics (2013;131:e635-e646) and provides updated, detailed guidance and clear algorithms for the management of babies born to women with active lesions.

These latest recommendations expand the approach as written in the Control Measures section of the Herpes Simplex chapter in the current edition of Red Book (p. 406-407).

A recent AAP News article highlights these latest recommendations.
