Die Studentverpieegster As Adolessent

The student nurse is no exception to the rule that for an adolescent this stage is a time of uncertainty and is full of problems. Her status in the social hierarchy is an uncertain one: She is neither a child nor an adult and yet her patients are mainly adult. She lives through a stage of change, experiences frustration in the face of demands for conformity. She encounters the problem of self-identification. What is this “ self” that she must learn to recognise and accept? It is important that tutors, ward sisters and matrons should be aware of all this and be competent to help the student nurse through adolescence. She must be able to develop into a mature, responsible,professional member of the community

Bedryfsgesondheidverpleegkunde — ‘n Nuwe Uitdaging Aan Opleidingsinstansies

Research has shown that in South Africa neither the occupational health nurse herself nor management in industry fully appreciate the extent to which she can be utilized if well trained. This article discusses various modifications in occupational health training programmes for nurses in order to ensure greater utilization of these nurses in industry

Die verpleegkundige as skepper van die terapeutiese omgewing

Die verpleegberoep stel hom ten doel om diens aan die gemeenskap op al die vlakke van gesondheidsdienste te lewer, d.i. op voorkomende, bevorderende, kuratiewe en rehabiliterende vlak. Die rol van die verpleegkundige in haar dienslewering aan die mens wat siek is, word gekenmerk deur instrumentele en ekspressiewe dimensies: - die instrumentele as die konkrete, fisieke benadering tot die pasient - die ekspressiewe wat temperend daarop inwerk deur die ondersteunings-, begeleidings- en vormingsfase van haar dienslewering aan en benadering tot die gemeenskap en die individu

Ontogenetic vertebral growth patterns in the basking shark <i>Cetorhinus maximus</i>

Age and growth of the basking shark Cetorhinus maximus (Gunnerus) was examined using vertebral samples from 13 females (261 to 856 cm total length [TL]), 16 males (311 to 840 cm TL) and 11 specimens of unknown sex (376 to 853 cm TL). Vertebral samples were obtained worldwide from museums and institutional and private collections. Examination of multiple vertebrae from along the vertebral column of 10 specimens indicated that vertebral morphology and band pair (alternating opaque and translucent bands) counts changed dramatically along an individual column. Smaller sharks had similar band pair counts along the length of the vertebral column while large sharks had a difference of up to 24 band pairs between the highest and lowest count along the column. Our evidence indicates that band pair deposition may be related to growth and not time in this species and thus the basking shark cannot be directly aged using vertebral band pair counts
