Ajn The American Journal Of Nursing - Behind The Article

Editor-in-chief Shawn Kennedy presents the highlights of the December 2011 issue of the American Journal of Nursing. There are two CE features: one is original research on paper as a vehicle for transmitting bacteria, and the other is a clinical article on sarcopenic obesity. Other articles include an update on influenza vaccination guidelines for the 2011-2012 flu season; a piece discussing effective care measures and how nurses are involved in determining them and collecting data; and the final article in our three-part series on supporting family caregivers; plus a Cochrane Corner on use of probiotics in treating diarrhea in children, News, Drug Watch, Reflections and more. There’s also a video as supplemental content to the caregiving article, and a podcast with the author of the Viewpoint on breastfeeding promotion.
