Understanding Rheumatoid Arthritis: A Nurse’s Perspective

17. July 2024 Candy Finley Disease States, Nursing Support (0)
As a nurse, I have had the privilege of caring for patients with a variety of challenging diseases. One of the most challenging and complex diseases I have encountered was rheumatoid arthritis (RA). RA is an autoimmune disease that causes chronic inflammation of the joints, leading to pain, swelling, and potential joint damage. It’s not just a physical condition; it affects the emotional and psychological well-being of the patient as well. In this blog, I aim to share insights into RA from a nurse’s perspective, providing information on the disease, its management, and the importance of a holistic care approach. [More]

Autoimmune Encephalitis

28. May 2024 Jean McCaslin Infusion Basics, Nursing Support (0)
Autoimmune Encephalitis (AE), also referred to as antibody-mediated encephalitis is a disorder that is easily confused with other neurological disorders. The initial presentation can range from acute to sub-acute, in patients of any age, with recent history of infective processes or cancers, or without, and further confounding diagnosticians. [More]

Nufactor Updated Mask Recommendation

14. August 2023 Nufactor Administrator Nursing Support (0)
Right before the federal government ended the COVID-19 Public Health Emergency on May 11, 2023, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) updated their recommendations for healthcare personnel on May 8. The updates, applicable to all U.S. settings where healthcare is delivered, were made to reflect the high levels of vaccine-and infection-induced immunity and the availability of effective treatments and prevention tools. The guidance provides a framework to implement select infection prevention and control practices based on individual circumstances (e.g., levels of respiratory virus transmission in the community).

How to Use the IG Side Effects Card

21. July 2023 Marianna Herrera Infusion Basics, IVIG Essentials, Nursing Support (0)
Prior to an infusion visit, we ask nurses to contact patients 12 -24 hours before and complete our Pre-Infusion Checklist (IVIG Pre-Infusion Checklist / SCIG Pre-Infusion Checklist). Nufactor developed the checklist to help the nurse and patient plan for a successful infusion. The list is a great tool and helps nurses guide their patients using a standardized check-off format. The list provides tips to give to the patient the day prior to, the day of, and the day after an infusion. [More]

Dos and Don’ts of Patient Education

21. April 2023 Jean McCaslin Infusion Basics, Nursing Support (0)
One of the most anxiety-producing aspects of life is “fear of the unknown.” This is particularly true in healthcare. From relatively benign medical conditions to devastatingly critical or life-threatening illnesses, the statement “knowledge is power” should not be underestimated when developing patient treatment plans; it can be a powerful tool in establishing the levelheadedness needed for a patient to manage their illness. Patient education is often as simple as explaining a laboratory test or a minor dietary change. As nurses, we may impart knowledge in a casual or off-the-cuff manner when discussing medical issues that have become routine for us, yet not for the patient. Patient education processes are oftentimes not formalized, particularly in some private physician offices. When programs do exist, time constraints in an office setting can make it almost impossible to share crucial information from their educational programs with each and every patient. [More]
