Implementation of solutions to reduce opioid-induced oversedation and respiratory depression.

Purpose: The implementation of interventions to mitigate the causes of opioid-induced oversedation and respiratory depression (OSRD) is reported.

Ethical considerations in the recruitment of research subjects from hospitalized, cardiovascular patient populations.

Cardiovascular research nurses play important roles in ensuring that subject recruitment is conducted in an ethically defensible manner. However, these nurses encounter many ethical challenges in the course of research. Sole reliance on regulatory mechanisms such as institutional review board oversight and adherence to legal requirements does not necessarily ensure human subjects' protection or the scientific integrity of researchers (J Law Med Ethics.

Care of the critically ill patient in a military unique environment: a program of research.
