Developing nursing care guidelines for children with Hodgkin's disease.

Oncology patients are generally treated on therapeutic research protocols that detail medical treatment. Nursing care is not clearly defined in these protocols; therefore, the need to develop a set of guidelines specifically for nursing care was identified. To further enhance the specialized care that our pediatric oncology patients receive, we developed nursing care guidelines to accompany specific protocols.

Indexing cognitive tests to alcohol dosage and comparison to standardized field sobriety tests.

Cognitive tests from a computerized battery of mental tests and standardized roadside field sobriety tests (FST) were administered in three experiments involving graded dosages of alcohol but different administration schedules. In the first experiment, subjects were raised to one of four levels of alcohol dosage in four sessions 1 week apart. In the second experiment, the descending branch of the blood alcohol concentration (BAC) curve was monitored from 150 mg/dl BAC in a single session.

Relating alcohol-induced performance deficits to mental capacity: a suggested methodology.

Performance tests are generally more reliable and more easily administered than on-the-job measures of performance, and in this way are preferable for studying the adverse consequences of environmental stressors. However, a linkage or context would be useful in interpretation of these laboratory measures. This paper reports findings with two indexing methods using multiple regression.

Effects of graded dosages of alcohol on nine computerized repeated-measures tests.

We report a controlled laboratory validation experiment to provide an empirical sequel to the general background of the development of the Automated Performance Test System (APTS) that was presented in Turnage et al. (1992). The purpose of this study was to index performance deficit against various Blood Alcohol Concentrations (BACs) of small (0.
