5. Critical care nursing: Embedded complex systems
Trinier, Ruth; Liske, Lori & Nenadovic, Vera
The Canadian Journal of Critical Care Nursing, 27.1 (Spring 2016): 11-16.
Abstract: Variability in parameters such as heart rate, respiratory rate and blood pressure defines healthy physiology and the ability of the person to adequately respond to stressors. Critically ill patients have lost this variability and require highly specialized nursing care to support life and monitor changes in condition. Nurses provide the majority of direct patient care in the critical care setting in 2:1, 1:1 or 1:2 nurse-to-patient ratios. The bedside nurse-critically ill patient relationship represents the primary, real-time feedback loop of information exchange, monitoring and treatment.

Bourbonnais, Frances Fothergill; Slivar, Sharon & Tucker, Sue Malone,
The Canadian Journal of Critical Care Nursing
27.1 (Spring 2016): 17-22.
Abstract: Acute kidney injury (AKI) is a common complication in critically ill patients. Renal replacement therapy is prescribed for as many as 70% of critically ill patients in AKI and may be provided in the form of intermittent or continuous dialysis including intermittent hemodialysis, sustained low-efficiency dialysis, and continuous renal replacement therapy (CRRT). The nursing work involved with CRRT is highly complex and the learning requirements are challenging; therefore, it is important to identify nursing practices.

Abstract: Home health aides are one of our essential human resources in the U.S. long-term care industry but understanding whether home health aides experience racial discrimination in the workplace and, if so, which personal/organizational factors are associated at the national level has been unnoticed. Using a nationally representative sample (n=3,377), we attempt to investigate the association between racial discrimination and personal and organizational factors. The study found the 13.5% prevalence rate of racial discrimination

Giese, Karla K.
The Journal for Nurse Practitioners12.1 (Jan 2016): e7-e10.
Abstract: Obesity or excess weight is a well-documented health problem. Obesity bias is prevalent in society, and literature suggests obesity bias exists among health care providers. This article addresses the bias and stigmatization associated with weight and outlines ethical principles for nurse practitioners caring for vulnerable populations such as the obese. Self-reflection, a key method to address potential provider obesity bias, is outlined through use of the Johns Model for Structured Reflection.
