Sustainable Development

Sustainable Development

As the human population continues to grow and use resources, we must be mindful of our planet’s natural limits. Sustainable development provides a pathway to maintain and improve human life now while also ensuring that future generations will have the resources that they need. The long-term success of sustainability efforts rests on understanding the interplay between human actions and ecological systems.

Nursing Process for Patient and Caregiver Teaching II: Planning and Implementation

Nursing Process for Patient and Caregiver Teaching II: Planning and Implementation

Planning for learning involves the development of a teaching plan. Teaching plans are similar to nursing care plans—both follow the steps of the nursing process. Planning in the teaching process involves setting goals and outcomes. Here, goals identify what a patient needs to achieve to understand a healthcare topic better, whereas the outcomes are the action to be performed by the patient to achieve the goal within a timeframe. For example, if the goal is to educate the patient about...

Nursing Process for Patient and Caregiver Teaching I: Assessment and Diagnosis

The nursing process provides a clinical decision-making framework for patients and families to establish and implement a personalized care plan. Since part of the nurse's duties is to teach patients, the steps of the nursing process are the most effective way to approach instruction. The nursing process and the teaching-learning process are inextricably linked.
It is critical to determine the patient's learning needs during the assessment. Determination of learning needs compounds data...

Modified-Release Drug Delivery Systems: Rate-Programmed II

Modified-Release Drug Delivery Systems: Rate-Programmed II

Rate-programmed drug delivery systems release drugs in a controlled manner to maintain therapeutic levels. Three main designs include reservoir, matrix, and hybrid systems.Reservoir systems consist of a drug core enclosed within a membrane that controls drug release. In non-swelling reservoir systems, polymers like ethyl cellulose or polymethacrylates are used. These do not hydrate in aqueous media and control release through membrane thickness, porosity, or insolubility. This type includes...

Modified-Release Drug Delivery Systems: Rate-Programmed I

Modified-Release Drug Delivery Systems: Rate-Programmed I

Rate-programmed drug delivery systems (DDS) are designed to release drugs at specific, controlled rates to maintain consistent therapeutic levels. These systems are categorized based on their release mechanisms, including dissolution-controlled DDS, diffusion-controlled DDS, and combined dissolution-diffusion-controlled DDS.In dissolution-controlled DDS, the release rate depends on the slow dissolution of the drug itself or the surrounding matrix. Drugs with inherently slow dissolution rates,...

Nursing Process for Patient and Caregiver Teaching III: Evaluation and Documentation

Nursing Process for Patient and Caregiver Teaching III: Evaluation and Documentation

Evaluation of the teaching process enables the nurse to determine if the patient's learning needs were met and if training was effective. If the expected outcomes are not met, the care plan is revised, and additional education or reinforcement is provided. Nurses can ask questions after the session or obtain feedback to assess the patient's understanding of the topic.
Nurses can use several methods to evaluate patient outcomes. For example, oral questions can assess cognitive learning,...

Area of Science:

Veterinary Medicine
Animal Welfare Science
Agricultural Technology

Background:

Veterinarians are crucial for ensuring animal welfare on swine farms, particularly in training caretakers on disease management and timely euthanasia.
Effective training is essential for caretakers to make appropriate decisions regarding pig treatment and care, impacting overall welfare.
Existing training methods may not adequately address the complexities of euthanasia decisions based on industry standards.

Purpose of the Study:

To develop and evaluate an interactive computer-based training program for swine farm personnel on euthanasia.
To provide standardized training that aligns with the 2015 Common Swine Industry Audit euthanasia criteria.
To enhance the decision-making skills of caretakers regarding pig treatment and humane euthanasia.

Main Methods:

Development of a three-module, computer-based interactive training program.
Inclusion of 15 case studies (5 per module) covering breeding stock, piglets, and wean to grower-finisher pigs.
Case studies based on five euthanasia criteria from the 2015 Common Swine Industry Audit, providing feedback on learner decisions.

Main Results:

The program offers interactive case studies with decision-making prompts and immediate feedback.
It covers distinct production stages and is grounded in established industry audit criteria.
This tool represents a novel approach to euthanasia-specific training in the US swine industry.

Conclusions:

The interactive training program has the potential to improve timely and humane on-farm pig euthanasia.
It serves as a valuable resource for training farm personnel, veterinary students, and continuing education.
This innovative tool addresses a critical need for standardized, accessible euthanasia training in swine production.
