Annual Legal Update (2016)

Dekubitus je oštećenje kože koje nastaje zbog ishemije uzrokovane produženim prtitiskom. Može nastati na bilo kojem dijelu tijela, ali ipak najčešće na mjestima koja su najviše izložena pritisku na podlogu, posebice ako se neposredno ispod kože nalazi kost. U prevenciji nastanka dekubitusa od velike je važnosti određivanje rizičnih čimbenika.Stanja koja doprinose nastanku dekubitusa su nepokretnost, pothranjenost, inkontinencija, poremećaji cirkulacije, nečista koža. Dekubitus je vrlo ozbiljno stanje koje može dovesti do brojnih komplikacija. Pojava dekubitusa može dovesti do smanjene kvalitete života,produžene hospitalizacije. Dekubitus predstavlja veliki zdravstveni i ekonomski problem, kako za samog bolesnika tako i za ustanovu u kojoj se nalazi, jer su metode liječenja skupe i dugotrajne.Medicinska sestra ima važnu ulogu u sprječavanju, ali i daljnjem liječenju dekubitusa. Sestre prve primjećuju svaku promjenu na koži i o njoj obavještavaju liječnika. U zbrinjavanju bolesnika potreban je multidisciplinaran pristup. Medicinska sestra mora biti educirana, kvalitetno provoditi zdravstvenu njegu, biti potpora bolesniku u njegovoj bolesti

Annual Legal Update

This was a tumultuous year in the field of higher education collective bargaining, with many of the key issues yet to be resolved. The National Labor Relations Board was quite active in the area of academic bargaining in the private sector. In May and June of 2012, the NLRB invited extensive briefing in cases addressing two issues of vital importance to the academic community: whether faculty members are employees who are covered by the National Labor Relations Act (and can therefore unionize) or whether they are managers excluded from coverage (Point Park University, infra at pg. 26); and whether graduate student assistants are employees under the NLRA (NYU, infra at pg. 27). The Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit threw all of the potential Board decisions into doubt when it ruled that President Obama’s recess appointments were unconstitutional, which would render any decisions by the current Board invalid (Noel Canning, infra at pg. 25). Nonetheless, the Board has continued to issue decisions, citing conflicting holdings from other circuits. Id
