This article examines the knowledge and power relationships between the medical profession and nurses during the first half of the twentieth century.

Abstract |
This article examines influences that impact on the work of the Emergency Departments (EDs). EDs are noticing increased attendance of patients with minor or non-urgent conditions. This increase in patient volume, together with on-going fiscal constraints and restructuring, has placed an added strain on the functioning of EDs. New Zealand nurses need to question the role currently given to EDs and identify the issues surrounding the increased use of these departments for primary health care. |

Abstract |
This literature review presents evidence on health professionals' practice in hand washing.

More qualitative research is required to investigate reasons for this and possible interventions. |
