Erectile dysfunction is a common health condition affecting as many as 42% of US men. As such, it is unsurprising that American health care consumers affected by erectile dysfunction (ED) may be tempted by “quick fixes” to ameliorate their symptoms—particularly if such fixes are perceived to be less embarrassing, more accessible, and/or more affordable. Although multiple therapies for the treatment of ED are approved by the US Food and Drug Administration, unregulated and/or counterfeit treatments are abundantly available to health care consumers on the Internet and US retail settings. These unregulated treatments may take the form of over-the-counter supplements or tainted prescription medications from illegal Internet pharmacies. This clinical brief is a call to action for health care professionals to advocate for patient safety, educate patients, and champion evidence-based therapies approved for the treatment of erectile dysfunction.","PeriodicalId":48812,"journal":{"name":"Journal of the American Association of Nurse Practitioners","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.2,"publicationDate":"2024-06-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141342696","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Neonatal nurse practitioners provide primary care such as anticipatory guidance, care and follow-up of technologically dependent infants, and discharge planning. Numerous interventions and care in the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) fall under the umbrella of health promotion, an aspect of primary care. In addition, NNPs must also be able to recognize, diagnose, and manage myriad common pediatric illnesses. There is a paucity of data to evaluate how NNP programs are meeting the National Association of Neonatal Nurses educational standards on this topic. A REDCap survey was sent to 31 NNP program directors, with a 100% response rate. All programs provide content addressing primary care management in their curriculum. National recognition of the primary care role, in addition to the acute care role that NNPs practice, should increase opportunities for clinical placement sites, employment opportunities, and grant funding. This article aims to demonstrate both the educational preparation and the delivery of primary care that NNPs provide in the NICU and other areas of practice.","PeriodicalId":48812,"journal":{"name":"Journal of the American Association of Nurse Practitioners","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.2,"publicationDate":"2022-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"35210379","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The 2020 American College of Cardiology/American Heart Association Guidelines on the Primary Prevention of Cardiovascular Disease recommends 10-year atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD) risk estimates for 40- to 75-year-old adults with CVD risk indications to decrease the likelihood of cardiovascular events.Local problem: At the project site, the 10-year ASCVD risk estimates were rarely completed by providers. The purpose of this project was to increase 10-year ASCVD risk estimation screening and improve pharmacological therapy for 40- to 75-year-old patients with CVD risk indications.Methods: To increase 10-year ASCVD risk estimation screening and improve pharmacological therapy, a multifaceted bundle was created for providers.Interventions: Three interventions were initiated: an electronic health record Smartphrase was created to produce automatic 10-year risk scores; laminated paper reminders for the Smartphrase were visible on providers' desks; educational in-services were performed to promote risk score adherence.Results: The project aims were achieved with an increase from a 14% completion rate for 10-year ASCVD risk estimation during the preintervention phase to a 98% completion rate at the end of the postintervention phase. Appropriate pharmacological therapy improved from a 64% rate during the preintervention phase to a maximum rate of 79% during postintervention.Conclusion: The project was effective at increasing risk estimate completion and improving appropriate pharmacological therapy. There was an increase in provider-patient discussions toward primary prevention for cardiovascular events.","PeriodicalId":48812,"journal":{"name":"Journal of the American Association of Nurse Practitioners","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.2,"publicationDate":"2022-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"40615827","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Realizing these benefits relies on their successful integration into health care systems. Although NP integration has been discussed extensively, the concept is defined inconsistently. Literature, therefore, cannot be synthesized to create policy recommendations for management and policymakers to plan for and advance NP integration.Objectives: To describe and define NP integration and enhance its applicability in research and policy.Data sources: A modified Walker and Avant concept analysis was used to develop a conceptual model of NP integration. Data were extracted and synthesized from 78 sources referencing the concept.Conclusions: Nurse practitioner integration was operationally defined as the multilevel process of incorporating NPs into the health care system so that NPs can practice to their full scope, education, and training and contribute to patient, system, and population needs. The attributes of NP integration are: 1) achievable goal; 2) process; 3) introduction of the role; 4) incorporation into organizational care models; 5) challenging traditional ideologies; 6) ability to function; 7) provide high-quality care; and 8) improve outcomes, sustainability, and health system transformation. Seventeen facilitators/barriers affecting NP integration were identified. Three health care system levels at which integration occurs were identified- macro , meso , and micro .Implications for practice: Findings will inform managers, policymakers, and stakeholders about NP integration to aid in planning and policy development. Results can be used to inform research on barriers and facilitators to NP integration.","PeriodicalId":48812,"journal":{"name":"Journal of the American Association of Nurse Practitioners","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.2,"publicationDate":"2022-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"40639505","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

YAG laser anterior capsulotomy (YAGAC) is the most common treatment option due to the low-risk profile of this intervention.Purpose: In this series, we evaluated the outcomes of an advanced nurse practitioner (ANP) in conducting this laser intervention, comparing the results with those of ophthalmologists.Methodology: Our study represents a single-centre, retrospective, continuous case series of 108 eyes that underwent YAGAC due to ACCS between January 2017 and July 2020 at the Birmingham and Midland Eye Centre, the second largest tertiary referral centre in the United Kingdom.Results: The groups treated by ANPs and ophthalmologists were similar in respect to age, gender, and laterality of the laser procedure. Eyes treated by ophthalmologists had significantly more ocular comorbidities (p < .001), the most common of which was glaucoma. Although the complication rate was higher in the ophthalmologist group, it did not reach statistical significance. However, there was a trend toward significance in the retreatment rate, with 8.6% (7/81) of eyes lasered by ophthalmologists requiring further YAGAC, and no repeat procedure was needed in the ANP group.Conclusions: YAGAC leads to good visual outcomes and a low complication rate in both ophthalmologist and ANP groups.Implications: Advanced nurse practitioners can deliver results that are comparable with those of experienced ophthalmologists.","PeriodicalId":48812,"journal":{"name":"Journal of the American Association of Nurse Practitioners","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.2,"publicationDate":"2022-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"40393063","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
