Download or read book Radiologic and Imaging Nursing written by American Nurses Association and published by . This book was released on 2013 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Radiologic and imaging nursing is the specialty practice concerned with the assessment, care planning, and direct care of individuals before, during, and after diagnostic and therapeutic imaging procedures. As well, radiologic and imaging nurses advocate for those individuals and their families, and are often the voice of those unable to speak for themselves. Accordingly, these RNs are concerned with the safety of both such individuals and the staff who provide such services. This publication is a guide to the essentials of this specialty, a framework for its practice. ANA and the Association for Radiologic and Imaging Nursing have collaborated to produce a foundational resource for contemporary radiologic and imaging nursing practice. Written by nurse experts aided by the review and other input from other nurses, Radiologic and Imaging Nursing: Scope and Standards of Practice is a comprehensive, up-to-date delineation of the competent level of nursing practice and professional performance common to and expected from radiologic and imaging registered nurses whatever their practice levels or setting. It reflects the current thinking, practice, and research in radiologic and imaging nursing. The publication's scope of practice addresses what is expected of all radiologic and imaging registered nurses, specifying the who, what, where, when, why and how of radiologic and imaging nursing practice. The detailed discussion of that scope of practice provides the context needed to understand and use the standards. The 16 standards are those by which all radiologic and Imaging RNs are held accountable for their practice. Each standard is measurable by a set of specific competencies that serve as evidence of minimal compliance with that standard. This foundational volume reflects the diverse activities of radiologic and imaging nurses and serves them in their clinical practice, education, and research. While primarily for specialty practitioners and the educators, students, and others directly involved in nursing care, research, advocacy; and certification, this book can also inform other healthcare providers, researchers, and scholars as well as employers, insurers, lawyers, regulators, policy makers, and stakeholders. Since the late 1990s, ANA has partnered with other nursing organizations to establish a format process for recognition of specially areas of nursing practice. This includes the criteria for approving the specialty itself and the scope statement, and an acknowledgment by ANA of the standards of practice for that specialty. Because of the significant changes in the evolving nursing and healthcare environments, ANA's approval of specialty nursing scope statements and its acknowledgment of specialty standards of practice remain valid for five years, starting from the publication date of the documents. The standards in this publication are based on language from ANA's Nursing: Scope and Standards of Practice, Second Edition, a helpful supplement to this specialty text, which in turn is of optimal use with two complementary ANA texts: Nursing's Social Policy Statement: The Essence of the Profession and Guide to the Code of Ethics for Nurses: Interpretation and Application. These three books are also available as a set, ANA's Foundation of Nursing 2010 Package, to guide nursing practice, thinking, and decision-making. The set is proving useful as a professional reference, classroom textbook, in-service training guide, and credentialing exam resource. For more on these publications, go to www.Nursesbooks.org.

Download or read book Advanced Practice and Leadership in Radiology Nursing written by Kathleen A. Gross and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2019-12-16 with total page 341 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Endorsed by the Association of Radiologic and Imaging Nursing (ARIN), this first of a kind comprehensive radiology nursing textbook fills a gap by addressing important subjects for patient care and professional issues, as well as, future possibilities affecting nursing practice. It serves as a resource to related nursing specialties, e.g. critical care, emergency or peri-anesthesia, and to radiologic technologists and physician assistants. The book could be used as one resource for studying for radiologic nursing certification.The textbook is subdivided into five sections that address advanced practice and leadership roles, clinical patient care topics, safety topics, including legal considerations, e.g. infection prevention and equipment. It includes a section with topics impacting the patient experience and a section on professional topics, e.g. cybersecurity, social media, research/outcomes, interprofessional collaboration, workplace violence and current trends in imaging. The authors include advanced practice providers, radiology nurse managers, educators, physicians, a physicist, a dentist, attorneys, a child life specialist, administrators and a social worker. Radiology diagnostic examinations and therapeutic procedures have become a more prominent part of patient care due to advances in technology and the ability of radiology to provide services that were traditionally done in surgery or not done because of limited knowledge. Many procedures are facilitated by the radiology nurse from initial consult to transfer to a hospital unit or discharge and follow-up. Nurses assess, monitor, administer sedation/other medications and respond to emergencies. They serve as educators, researchers, and resource personnel to the radiology department and in many instances, to the entire facility. Radiology nurses are real leaders. In order to keep up-to-date on new developments, nurses need new literature to support their clinical expertise and leadership. This book is an unparalleled resource, written by experts in their areas of interest.

Download or read book Radiology in Global Health written by Daniel J. Mollura and published by Springer. This book was released on 2014-07-02 with total page 273 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The World Health Organization stated that approximately two-thirds of the world’s population lacks adequate access to medical imaging. The scarcity of imaging services in developing regions contributes to a widening disparity of health care and limits global public health programs that require imaging. Radiology is an important component of many global health programs, including those that address tuberculosis, AIDS-related disease, trauma, occupational and environmental exposures, breast cancer screening, and maternal-infant health care. There is a growing need for medical imaging in global health efforts and humanitarian outreach, particularly as an increasing number of academic, government, and non-governmental organizations expand delivery of health care to disadvantaged people worldwide. To systematically deploy clinical imaging services to low-resource settings requires contributions from a variety of disciplines such as clinical radiology, epidemiology, public health, finance, radiation physics, information technology, engineering, and others. This book will review critical concepts for those interested in managing, establishing, or participating in a medical imaging program for resource-limited environments and diverse cross-cultural contexts undergoing imaging technology adaptation.
