        Drug Products in Nursing and Care Practice

        Safe handling of medication

        by Dr. Ulrich Räth and Friedhelm Kamann

        The assessment of nursing and care needs and the organisation and quality assurance of nursing care are key tasks performed by nursing staff. This also includes administering medication, something which requires sound organisation, control, implementation and documentation. Nurses observe whether medication is taken consistently, has the desired effect, and whether undesirable side effects occur. The drug product as a „special commodity“ – whether in inpatient long-term care, in outpatient care, or in hospital – requires special knowledge concerning - correct storage, - the pharmacological effect, and - appropriate application. This book is geared towards the diseases and symptoms of people requiring nursing or care. All the important facts concerning the use of medicines are presented here in an understandable manner, focusing on the essentials. Numerous illustrations and practical tips provide the link to everyday nursing care. It is the ideal textbook and reference work for nursing and care assistants as well as nursing professionals.

        Micronutrient Depleters: Metformin

        Things to know about medicines and micronutrients

        by Uwe Gröber and Prof. Dr. Klaus Kisters

        This guide provides patients with important medical information about interactions of their drug products with vitamins and minerals. These interactions are not always listed in the accompanying package inserts. Taking the diabetes drug metformin can cause a vitamin B12 deficiency, which causes severe nerve damage. Besides vitamin B12, other micronutrients such as magnesium, coenzyme Q10, vitamin C, vitamin D and chromium can support the therapy with metformin and other diabetes medicines. This way, patients can optimise their treatment, reduce the side effects of their medication and improve their quality of life!

        Coping Better with Cancer Therapy

        Improved quality of life with the right vitamins and minerals

        by Uwe Gröber and Prof. Dr. Klaus Kisters

        Cancer patients often suffer from malnutrition. Not only do they lack energy-providing macronutrients such as protein, fats and carbohydrates, they particularly lack the micronutrients that regulate the metabolism. Micronutrients such as vitamin D, selenium, L-carnitine, omega-3 fatty acids and vitamin C significantly contribute to supporting the immune system of cancer patients, reducing inflammatory processes, alleviating the side effects of cancer therapy, and improving their quality of life. This patient guide provides information about the relationship between cancer, malnutrition, micronutrient deficiencies, the influence of cancer therapeutics on micronutrient balance, and how cancer patients can support their therapy and improve their quality of life with a controlled intake of micronutrient

        Get Out of the Nursing Crisis!

        New concepts between profession and solidarity

        by Thomas Klie

        Nursing is sick and lacking. In funding, staff and structure. The issue of who is going to care for Germany's elderly and sick in the future, and how and where they are going to do so, is completely open. One thing is certain: caring won’t work at all without the “joint commitment of everyone”. Thomas Klie, an expert in this fi eld, identifi es and analyses the dilemmas of the care industry. Above all, though, he and other experts present ideas and perspectives for the future – and in doing so challenge the hitherto half-hearted to lurching care policy.

        Nursing the English from plague to Peterloo, 1665-1820

        by Alannah Tomkins

        This book studies the negative stereotypes around the women who worked as sick nurses in this period and contrasts them with the lived experience of both domestic and institutional nursing staff. Furthermore, it integrates nursing by men into the broader history of care as a constant if little-recognised presence. It finds that women and men undertook caring work to the best of their ability, and often performed well, despite multiple threats to nurse reputations on the grounds of gender norms and social status. Chapters consider nursing in the home, in general hospitals, in specialist institutions like the Royal Chelsea Hospital and asylums, plus during wartime, illuminated by multiple accounts of individual nurses. In these settings, it employs the sociological concept of 'dirty work' to contextualise the challenges to nurses and nursing identities.

        Jewish refugees and the British nursing profession

        A gendered opportunity

        by Jane Brooks

        This book follows the lives of female Jewish refugees who fled Nazi persecution and became nurses. Nursing was nominally a profession but with its poor pay and harsh discipline, it was unpopular with British women. In the years preceding the Second World War, hospitals in Britain suffered chronic nurse staffing crises. As the country faced inevitable war, the Government and the profession's elite courted refugees as an antidote to the shortages, but many hospitals refused to employ Continental Jews. The book explores the changes in the refugees' status and lives from the war years to the foundation of the National Health Service and to the latter decades of the twentieth century. It places the refugees at the forefront of manoeuvres in nursing practice, education and research at a time of social upheaval and alterations in the position of women.

        Murky waters

        British spas in eighteenth-century medicine and literature

        by Sophie Vasset

        Murky waters challenges the refined image of spa towns in eighteenth-century Britain by unveiling darker and more ambivalent contemporary representations. It reasserts the centrality of health in British spas by looking at disease, the representation of treatment and the social networks of care woven into spa towns. The book explores the great variety of medical and literary discourses on the numerous British spas in the long eighteenth century and offers a rare look at spas beyond Bath. Following the thread of 'murkiness', it explores the underwater culture of spas, from the gender fluidity of users to the local and national political dimensions, as well as the financial risks taken by gamblers and investors. It thus brings a fresh look at mineral waters and a pinch of salt to health-related discourses.

        Irgendwo in London, es ist 4:18 Uhr. Sieben Menschen liegen wach, gequält von Sorgen, Ängsten und Erinnerungen. Nacheinander lernen wir sie kennen, blicken auf ihre Leben: beschädigt, entfremdet, scheinbar ohne jede Hoffnung. Doch dann bricht ein Sturm über die Stadt herein, treibt die Einsamen und Verletzten auf die Straße und lässt sie erkennen, wie tief sie miteinander verbunden sind. Kae Tempests Langgedicht Let Them Eat Chaos ist nicht nur ein mitreißendes Sprachkunstwerk, sondern auch ein wütender Aufruf zum Handeln, gegen soziale Ungerechtigkeit, gegen Verrohung und politische Gewalt, für mehr Empathie, Gemeinsamkeit und Hoffnung im Chaos.
