This unique monograph, based on empirical research, used the oral
history approach to explore the careers of 31 intellectual
disability nurses from England and the Republic of Ireland; each
with at least 30 years' experience. We sought to understand motives
for such long service to nursing practice. Some had worked in the
intellectual disability hospitals of the 19th and 20th Centuries.
In both jurisdictions these have almost closed and been replaced
with smaller living configurations; subsequently few such nurses
have experience of these institutions. This makes it important to
hear their stories, which were digitally recorded; now forming a
unique collection in the Royal College of Nursing's archives. These
oral histories when synthesised with prevailing discourse of
intellectual disability nursing from literature, and research put
into perspective contemporary nursing workforce challenges faced by
these nurses in both jurisdictions. Their stories are testament,
amongst other things, to a strong 'sense of justice... doing the
right thing and making a difference'. Some reported a 'very early
interest in working with people with intellectual disabilities'.
And at 'journey's end' sadly, almost universally, they reported a
sense of being 'undervalued'. Their narratives articulate enormous
health and social care change witnessed over three decades or more.
But above all else they give voice to commitment, dedication, and
kindness to a vulnerable, and often marginalised people, those with
intellectual disabilities, as such it gives voice to otherwise
'Untold Stories'.
Athletic trainers have a responsibility to provide high-quality
pharmaceutical care while meeting both legal and ethical
requirements. Clinical Pharmacology in Athletic Training empowers
athletic trainers with a functional understanding of pharmacology
that enables them to formulate a treatment plan intended to
mitigate disease and improve the overall health of their patients.
This text incorporates the most up-to-date content from the 2020
Commission on Accreditation of Athletic Training Education (CAATE)
standards, and it emphasizes interprofessional practice to enable
future and current athletic trainers to collaborate with other
health professionals in a manner that optimizes the quality of
care. Clinical Pharmacology in Athletic Training begins by
addressing drug legislation and the legal aspects of the athletic
trainer's role in sport medication. The text provides an overview
of pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics with an emphasis on
concepts relevant to clinical practice. Students are introduced to
the generic and brand names, general classifications, and
appropriate administration of drugs and are guided toward
appropriate online reference materials. Part II of this text
describes common medications for pain, inflammation, and
infections. Part III includes medications for specific conditions,
including respiratory, cardiovascular, gastrointestinal,
neurological, gynecological, and mental health conditions. The text
also includes current information on opioid analgesics, cannabis,
and cannabinoid-based medications. Clinical Pharmacology in
Athletic Training teaches students to administer appropriate
pharmacological agents for the management of the patient's
condition. The information includes indications, contraindications,
dosing, interactions, and adverse reactions. The following features
are included to aid in the learning process: Chapter objectives set
the stage for the main topics covered in the chapter. Key terms are
boldfaced to indicate terms of special importance, and a glossary
of definitions is included at the back of the book. Red Flag
sidebars highlight warnings and precautions for certain medications
or medicolegal issues. Evidence in Pharmacology sidebars highlight
recent research regarding medications. Clinical Application
sidebars present real-life stories from the field of athletic
training. Case studies highlight specific therapeutic medication
applications and are accompanied by questions that prompt readers
to think critically about the issues presented. Quick reference
drug tables describe medication types, generic and brand names,
pronunciations, common indications, and other special
considerations for the athletic trainer. Over the past decade,
there has been an increased emphasis on pharmacology in athletic
training. Clinical Pharmacology in Athletic Training will equip
students with appropriate skills and competencies, prepare them to
meet patient needs, and enable them to work in interprofessional
teams.
Athletic trainers are often the first ones on the scene when an
individual sustains an acute injury. Therefore, knowing how to
assess injuries and illnesses and begin treatment quickly is of
vital importance for aspiring athletic trainers. Acute and
Emergency Care in Athletic Training With Web Study Guide teaches
students how to recognize and manage emergency conditions so they
can provide appropriate patient care between the field and the
emergency department. Authors Michelle Cleary and Katie Walsh
Flanagan take an interdisciplinary approach, drawing from
literature, position statements, and guidelines from numerous
professional health care organizations to offer current
evidence-based clinical best practices. The book’s comprehensive
coverage adheres to and incorporates guidelines from the Commission
on Accreditation of Athletic Training Education (CAATE) and the
Board of Certification (BOC), and it is one of the first textbooks
to align with the competencies outlined in the CAATE 2020
standards. To prepare students to effectively provide appropriate
care before getting an injured or ill athlete to the hospital,
Acute and Emergency Care in Athletic Training includes the
following learning aids: • Case studies in the web study guide
offer practical scenarios that will facilitate critical thinking
and decision-making skills. • Clinical Skills sidebars guide
students through the process of completing specific tasks such as
splinting, wound care, and airway maintenance. • Red Flag
sidebars indicate areas where significant caution is warranted. •
Decision-making algorithms and decision trees lead students through
selecting the most appropriate treatment option based on a
patient’s signs and symptoms. • Key terms are boldfaced in the
text and are defined in the glossary section. With a full-color
presentation and more than 280 photos and illustrations, the text
takes a systematic approach to acute and emergency care, with the
content divided into two parts. Part I provides critical
information on prevention and risk management strategies, including
developing an emergency action plan, conducting an emergency
examination, and administering emergency medications. Part II then
provides the basics of emergency evaluations, describing how to
examine, treat, and manage common acute injuries and illnesses to
limit the severity of these potentially life-threatening
conditions. To aid instructors using Acute and Emergency Care in
Athletic Training in the classroom, there is a full array of
ancillaries, including a test package, an instructor guide with
sample answers to the case study questions, and a presentation
package plus image bank. When an athlete is injured on the field of
play, time is of the essence. Acute and Emergency Care in Athletic
Training is an invaluable resource for training and preparing the
initial responders to recognize critical situations and treat the
acutely injured or ill patient.
