Professional Values

10.7K
Nurses are responsible for caring for patients during birth, death, illness, and healing. Professional values guide the decisions and actions that nurses make in their careers. If nurses know the decisions and actions to take, providing patients with exceptional care is possible.
The values that are the foundation of the nursing profession are altruism, autonomy, human dignity, and social justice.
First, altruism refers to the concern for the welfare and well-being of others without personal...

The Professional Nurse

6.5K
Professional nurses are not limited to bedside care and are taking roles of greater responsibility. A nurse should have a knowledge-based practice, including personal, theoretical, procedural, cultural, and reflexive knowledge. Additionally, nurses must be competent in cognitive, technical, interpersonal, and ethical/legal skills. Some of the best attributes of successful nurses include the following:
Communication skills: These are critical characteristics, especially speaking and listening.

Allergic Drug Reactions

1.5K
Allergic reactions related to drugs are hypersensitivity responses driven by the immune system and bear no connection to the drug's therapeutic action. While drugs in isolation do not trigger an immune response, they can interact with endogenous proteins to form antigens. These antigens stimulate lymphocytes to produce antibodies. IgE-type antibodies attach themselves to mast cells. Upon subsequent exposure to the same stimulus, the antigen-antibody interaction is initiated, unleashing...

Contact Angle01:13

Contact Angle

19.5K
When a solid is dipped inside a liquid, the liquid surface becomes curved near the contact. For some solid–liquid interfaces, the liquid is pulled up along the solid, while for others, the liquid surface is convex or depressed near the solid surface. This phenomenon can be explained using the concept of cohesive and adhesive forces.
The adhesive force is the molecular force between molecules of different materials, that is, between the molecules of the solid and the liquid. The cohesive...

Contact-dependent Signaling01:19

Contact-dependent Signaling

47.0K
Contact-dependent signaling, as the name suggests, requires that communicating cells be in direct contact with each other. This is achieved either through receptor-ligand interactions or by specialized cytoplasmic channels that allow the flow of small molecules between cells. In animal cells, channels called gap junctions facilitate contact-dependent signaling in certain tissues, whereas, plasmodesmata perform a similar function in plants.
Gap Junctions
In animal cells, gap junctions are formed...

    Area of Science:

    • Dermatology
    • Occupational Health

    Background:

    • Acrylate allergic contact dermatitis (ACD) is a growing concern, especially among women using nail cosmetics.
    • Nail products containing acrylates pose risks, with repeated exposure or improper curing leading to symptoms like onycholysis.
    • Onycholysis, a common symptom of ACD, can be painful and slow to heal.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To highlight the increasing prevalence of acrylate allergic contact dermatitis (ACD) linked to nail cosmetics.
    • To emphasize the role of nurses in educating and advocating for nail professionals at high risk.
    • To outline strategies for ACD prevention and management in this population.

    Main Methods:

    • Literature review on acrylate allergy and occupational risks in the nail industry.
    • Analysis of clinical presentations and treatment approaches for ACD.
    • Exploration of the nursing scope of practice in health education and advocacy for at-risk workers.

    Main Results:

    • Acrylate exposure from nail products is a significant cause of allergic contact dermatitis.
    • Nail professionals face heightened risks due to prolonged exposure and inadequate workplace protections.
    • Effective management involves acrylate avoidance, alternative products, and supportive nursing care.

    Conclusions:

    • Nurses play a crucial role in educating nail professionals about ACD risks and prevention strategies.
    • Promoting acrylate avoidance and safe nail care practices is essential for mitigating occupational ACD.
    • Early recognition, proper management, and patient education are key to improving outcomes for individuals with acrylate allergy.
