Nursing care in the anesthesia recovery period: review of the literature

The present study was undertaken after it was observed that patients submitted to surgical procedures arrived in recovery room with incomplete records, thus complicating continuing nursing care. The goal of the present study is to analyze bibliographic data from 1990 to 2002 on recovery room nursing care. The data was obtained from LILACS (Latin America Literature about Health Science), PERIENF (Nursing School Library of the University of São Paulo) and BDENF (Library of Federal University of Minas Gerais). The key words were nursing care, recovery room and immediate post-operative period. Only 16 articles were found, indicating a shortage of literature on this topic. The recovery room period is an important period of hospitalization and the data are essential for continuous care.

日本医科大学中央図書館における入退館システムの導入

The Nippon Medical School Central Library installed automated user entry/exit tracking system in January 2003 when library hours were extended. This report covers installation and current status.The assigned supplier was Maruzen, Inc., and equipment was the V-Line series marketed by Art, Inc., (entry/exit management system CA-10A, management software VSS-01A).Library closing was extended on January 7, 2003, from 20:00 to 21:30. The new tracking system started operation the same day.We first integrated magnetic codes of user cards (faculty ID, student nameplate, library user ID, Nippon Medical School Chiba Nursing School Library user card). Users were notified in advance that new registration would be required prior to using the new system and that registered IDs and student nameplates must be carried by users.Despite our efforts to notify users beforehand, many could not enter the library at the beginning, adversely affecting our normal library operation. It took 2 weeks before the new system ran smoothly.Total number of registered users, average daily usage by hour, and system error status are discussed.

Recreational Values of a Nursing School Library

The realization that reading is practically essential for professional and personal development has caused schools of nursing everywhere to provide libraries for student nurses. Reading interests, properly developed, will help students to achieve the appreciations, the depth of understanding, and the insight necessary for abundant living. Moreover, reading is a highly desirable form of recreation for nursing students because it is relaxing, inexpensive, and requires less physical exertion than active sports and other forms of recreation. A primary objective is to make the students feel that reading is not a school duty, but one of life's greatest pleasures. Some students already have the desire to read and we can only strive to enhance their enjoyment through suggestions for further reading. Others who come to us have not yet found recreation in books; we try to arouse their curiosity. The fact that it is possible for everyone to discover interesting reading challenges us to seek out the reading interests of every student and tempt her to read. Inherent factors that enhance the recreational values of a nursing school library are: (1) attractive physical surroundings, (2) careful book selection, and (3) publicity. Perhaps the most significant factor to remember is that the over-all picture must be inviting. Perhaps the most outstanding single feature of an attractive nursing school library is an atmosphere of quiet dignity that is hard to describe but that should be always evident. Careful planning rules out a cluttered look. Rugs on the floor lend a note of elegance and are a shock absorber for noise. A few well chosen plants give the reading room or library a homey atmosphere. Adequate lighting is most important; the local power and light company should be asked to measure the lighting in every working area to determine if there is sufficient light. Attractive book jackets make the shelves colorful; clear plastic covers over the original book jackets increase the life of the book. A convenient location for the reading room may entice more girls into the library. If it is readily accessible attendance will increase. The hours that the

Library Services in a School of Nursing

A GREAT deal has been written and said about nursing school libraries in, the last fifty years. Many articles have appeared, in the Journal and elsewhere, designed to help nursing schools develop library services. The NLNE discusses library standards in its Essentials of a Good School of Nursing. Through sucsessive library committees, the League has made excellent tools available, such as Books Suggested for Libraries in Schools of Nursing; the Library Handbook for Schools of Nursing, which contains the Bellevue classification, the subject headings list, and much other useful information; and the Manual for the Nursing School Library. The statement of guiding principles and policies for the library, in the Accrediting Committee's Manual of Accrediting Educational Programs in Nursing, is invaluable to any school wishing to determine the status of its library. Four of the eight points included in the Manual of Accrediting statement of principles are basic to good library service. These are:
