	Author	Mitchell, M.H.
	Title	Clinical decision-making processes in emergency nursing			Type
	Year	2005	Publication		Abbreviated Journal	Victoria University of Wellington Library
	Volume		Issue		Pages
	Keywords	Emergency nursing; Education; Clinical decision making
	Abstract	The aim of this research paper is to explore the processes of clinical decision-making in relation to emergency nurses and to examine the educational requirements for the development of clinical decision-making skills. Clinical decision-making is foundational to professional nursing practice. It is the expectation of the profession and the organisations in which nurses work that appropriate clinical decision-making will occur. Patients also rightly expect, when being cared for by nurses, that the clinical decisions pertaining to their care will be optimal.

	Title	The elective way: An exploration of pre-operative education for orthopaedic joint replacements			Type
	Year	2006	Publication		Abbreviated Journal	Victoria University of Wellington Library
	Volume		Issue		Pages
	Keywords	Patient satisfaction; Surgery; Education
	Abstract	This research paper provides a description and analysis of literature and research focusing on pre-operative education programmes available internationally and nationally for patients receiving total joint replacements. This discussion differentiates between pre-assessment and pre-operative education to provide an understanding that both aspects are important in there own right. Together pre-assessment and pre-operative education complement each other to provide total care for patients awaiting total joint replacement surgery. One way of alleviating apprehension experienced by the patient about their surgery is by providing appropriate joint replacement education programmes that meet their needs. This type of programme is a form of empowerment which provides patients with appropriate and relevant information. This allows the patient to be actively involved in their own care and enable them to make informed decisions. The importance of education, information and communication; anxiety and pain; family and peer support; mobility and insecurity is a common thread in the literature where patients describe their experiences and concerns following a total joint replacement. These concepts are discussed and related to why pre-operative education programmes are recommended to help alleviate patients concerns and are important in providing a total multidisciplinary approach to care.
