There are indications that the incidence of pressure sores in the ICU is higher than the average incidence of 3-10% in hospital populations. This higher incidence may be accounted for by specific risk factors, such as history before admission to the ICU, severity of the disease, the risk of prevention measures, the use of special medicine and the nutritional state. Also structural factors, such as the accessibility of prevention means and the unambiguous usage of the registration of pressure sores, play a part. Risk assessment instruments are used to quantify the risk of pressure sores in order to support or evaluate the decision concerning preventive measures. For the ICU risk assessment instruments have to be developed, in which the specific factors of risk are processed. Related to preventive measures the effect of turning and re-positioning the patient on the vital functions should further be investigated. If turning and re-positioning could be started as early as possible and in a responsible way, the demand for expensive measures, like special beds en special mattresses, will possibly decrease. The positive effect of these special beds on the prevention of pressure sores seams to be irrefutable.</p>","PeriodicalId":79427,"journal":{"name":"Verpleegkunde","volume":"12 1","pages":"4-14"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1997-02-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"20328724","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Ethics distinguish various movements that intend to solve the problem of how to deal with such questions. This article discusses two variants, namely ethics of rules and ethics of care. Ethics of rules present a rational model of thinking in which universal principles are applied to practical moral problems. According to ethics of care, an attitude of responsibility and involvement and, accordingly, the attention to the complex situation of a patient is considered moral. Both kinds of ethics are attached to a case from the practice of nursing care for oncology patients. The thinking of the nurses concerned is in line with ethics of care. It also involves principles of ethics of rules. These principles, however, only make sense in the complex situation of the patient. By virtue of this quality they are taken into consideration by nurses as one of the details from the context.

Prodromal symptoms are changes in patient's subjective perception and observable behavior which may signal the onset of psychosis.

The discussion also touches on the predictive value of prodromal symptoms, i.e. their ability to predict an impending psychosis correctly. Finally, the article discusses the various interventions available to nurses, focusing in particular on two aspects. The first aspect is the drafting of observation plans aimed at recognizing prodromal symptoms at an early stage.
