Abstract:
Myeloproliferative neoplasms (MPNs) are rare, yet potentially life-threatening, disorders caused by overproliferation of bone marrow stem cells. The symptom burden experienced by patients with the BCR-ABL1-negative MPNs (also referred to as the classical MPNs, i.e., essential thrombocythemia [ET], polycythemia vera [PV] and myelofibrosis [MF]) can be significant and can negatively impact quality of life (QOL). Since patients with these MPNs can live for several years, thereby requiring long-term treatment and follow-up, nurses play an essential role in communicating with these patients, assessing their symptoms, and educating them on treatments and self-management strategies that can reduce their symptom burden. This article, which is the second of a twopart series, was developed to provide nurses and other healthcare professionals with practical guidance for managing the symptom burden associated with the classical MPNs in order to help enhance their patients' overall health and QOL.

Pleural Effusion II: Symptoms and Management
A pleural effusion is the abnormal collection of fluid between the parietal and visceral pleura layers of tissue that form the lining of the lungs and chest cavity. It can occur independently or due to surrounding parenchymal diseases, such as infection, malignancy, or inflammatory conditions.
Clinical Manifestations:
Angina V: Nursing Management
Cardiomyopathy VI: Nursing Management
Hypertension V: Nursing Management
Pneumonia V: Nursing management and Prevention
The nurse must practice strict medical asepsis and adhere to infection control guidelines to minimize healthcare-associated infections.
