With a minimally invasive approach, TAVR reduces overall risks to the patient compared to the traditional surgical aortic valve replacement. Improvements in technology, training, and access to registered TAVR-designated sites, as well as the high success rate of the procedure, have turned TAVR from a novel approach into the preferred, first-line treatment for patients with AS. The purpose of this review article is to educate RNs and advanced practice RNs (APRNs, including NPs, clinical nurse specialists, anesthetists, and midwives) on the current evidence-based approaches to evaluation, diagnosis, and management of AS before and after TAVR, as well as the evolving role of TAVR in the treatment of AS. Given that TAVR has become the mainstay of treatment for AS, there is a need for RNs and APRNs to be experts in the evidence-based practice guidelines for evaluation, diagnosis, and treatment of this potentially deadly disease.</p>","PeriodicalId":7622,"journal":{"name":"American Journal of Nursing","volume":"126 5","pages":"30-35"},"PeriodicalIF":2.0,"publicationDate":"2026-05-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147759890","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}

This led to complications that necessitated three hospitalizations, multiple surgical interventions, and treatment for a hospital-acquired infection caused by multidrug-resistant bacteria. Nearly every patient brings a mobile phone (and, often, a charger) into the hospital, and the use of these and other electronic devices carries risks. Although numerous media and medical publications have reported serious and even fatal injuries caused by mobile phones and their chargers in domestic settings, reports of such incidents in hospitals remain scarce. This case study discusses the authors' experience in addressing various patient safety and risk management issues associated with patients' use of mobile phone chargers in a general hospital setting.</p>","PeriodicalId":7622,"journal":{"name":"American Journal of Nursing","volume":"126 5","pages":"42-46"},"PeriodicalIF":2.0,"publicationDate":"2026-05-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147759801","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 underlying reasons for this trend are unclear, but limited exposure to burn care during training may be a contributing factor.</p><p><strong>Purpose: </strong>We aimed to develop and evaluate a burn-focused curriculum for nursing students to increase interest, knowledge, and readiness to pursue burn nursing careers.</p><p><strong>Methods: </strong>Twenty nursing students in their final semester were randomly selected to participate in an educational intervention consisting of a one-hour, burn-focused lecture and a two-day shadowing experience at an urban burn center. Students observed burn surgeries, participated in wound care, attended multidisciplinary rounds, and visited the outpatient clinic. A multiple-choice quiz was completed before and after the lecture. Pre- and postexperience surveys assessed the nursing students' interest in burn nursing and wound care, comfort with burn care, perceived understanding of burn management, and likelihood of pursuing a career in burn nursing. Wilcoxon signed rank tests were used for analysis.</p><p><strong>Results: </strong>Most students initially expressed interest in working in ICU, ED, or operating room settings, with 85% reporting no prior exposure to burn-related content. Common barriers to considering burn nursing included a lack of exposure and concerns about the emotional toll. After the intervention, students showed significant increases in interest in burn nursing (P = 0.007), comfort with burn care (P = 0.008), and perceived understanding of burn management (P < 0.001). Quiz scores significantly increased from 62% before the lecture to 86% afterward (P < 0.001), and the likelihood of pursuing a burn nursing career increased from 30% before the two-day shadowing experience to 85% afterward (P < 0.001).
