ETHICAL AND LEGAL RESPONSABILITY OF NURSES IN DRUG ADMINISTRATION: THE STATE OF THE ART

Objetivo: identificar os problemas relacionados a administração medicamentosos na atuação da enfermagem, e descrever a responsabilidade ética e legal do enfermeiro na administração medicamentosa. Métodos: estudo descritivo, exploratório, com abordagem qualitativa, bibliográfico, realizado na BVS (Biblioteca Virtual de Saúde), nas bases de dados de (BDENF) e nas revistas eletrônicas REUOL e REPEF. Resultados: emergiram duas categorias, “causas dos problemas relacionados à administração de medicamentosa, condutas pós e estratégias para minimizar” e “responsabilidade ética e legal do enfermeiro na administração medicamentosa”. Conclusão: concluímos que nenhum profissional em exercício está livre dos erros e uma das grandes responsabilidades da equipe de enfermagem e do enfermeiro é a administração medicamentosa, a qual deve ser desenvolvida com grande responsabilidade e conhecimento do código de ética profissional, para que não se envolva em uma atividade que possa gerar um ato de negligência, imprudência ou imperícia

GIS-MAP based Spatial Analysis of Rainfall Data of Andhra Pradesh and Telangana States Using R

The rainfall conditions across wide geographical location and varied topographic conditions of India throw challenge to researchers and scientists in predicting rainfall effectively. India is Agriculture based country and it mainly depends on rainfall. Seasons in India are divided into four, which is winter in January and February, summer is from March to May, monsoon is from June to September and post monsoon is from October to December. India is Agriculture based country and it mainly depends on rainfall. It is very difficult to develop suitable rainfall patterns from the highly volatile weather conditions. In this Paper, it is proposed that Map based Spatial Analysis of rainfall data of Andhra Pradesh and Telangana states is made using R software apart from Hybrid Machine learning techniques. A Study will be made on rainfall patterns based on spatial locations. The Visual analytics were also made for effective study using statistical methods and Data Mining Techniques. This paper also introduced Spatial mining for effective retrieval of Remote sensed Data to deal with retrieval of information from the database and presents them in the form of map using R software

Responsabilidade ética e legal do enfermeiro na administração medicamentosa: o estado da arte

Objectives: To identify problems related to drug administration in nursing activities, and to describe the ethical and legal responsibility of nurses in drug administration. Methods: A descriptive, exploratory study with a qualitative, bibliographic approach, performed in the VHL (Virtual Health Library), in databases (BDENF), and REUOL and REPEF electronic journals. Results: Two categories emerged, "causes of the problems related to the administration of medication, post-conduct and minimization strategies" and "ethical and legal responsibility of nurses in drug administration�. Conclusion: We conclude that no practicing professional is free of errors and one of the main responsibilities of the nursing staff and and the nurse's medication administration, which should be developed with great responsibility and knowledge of professional code of ethics, is not to engage in a activity that can generate an act of negligence, recklessness or malpractice.

SARS-CoV-2 vaccination modelling for safe surgery to save lives: data from an international prospective cohort study

Background Preoperative SARS-CoV-2 vaccination could support safer elective surgery. Vaccine numbers are limited so this study aimed to inform their prioritization by modelling. Methods The primary outcome was the number needed to vaccinate (NNV) to prevent one COVID-19-related death in 1 year. NNVs were based on postoperative SARS-CoV-2 rates and mortality in an international cohort study (surgical patients), and community SARS-CoV-2 incidence and case fatality data (general population). NNV estimates were stratified by age (18-49, 50-69, 70 or more years) and type of surgery. Best- and worst-case scenarios were used to describe uncertainty. Results NNVs were more favourable in surgical patients than the general population. The most favourable NNVs were in patients aged 70 years or more needing cancer surgery (351; best case 196, worst case 816) or non-cancer surgery (733; best case 407, worst case 1664). Both exceeded the NNV in the general population (1840; best case 1196, worst case 3066). NNVs for surgical patients remained favourable at a range of SARS-CoV-2 incidence rates in sensitivity analysis modelling. Globally, prioritizing preoperative vaccination of patients needing elective surgery ahead of the general population could prevent an additional 58 687 (best case 115 007, worst case 20 177) COVID-19-related deaths in 1 year. Conclusion As global roll out of SARS-CoV-2 vaccination proceeds, patients needing elective surgery should be prioritized ahead of the general population.The aim of this study was to inform vaccination prioritization by modelling the impact of vaccination on elective inpatient surgery. The study found that patients aged at least 70 years needing elective surgery should be prioritized alongside other high-risk groups during early vaccination programmes. Once vaccines are rolled out to younger populations, prioritizing surgical patients is advantageous
