Assessment of practice in pre-registration nurse education and the development of a skills acquisition manual.

Published: April 1998

It has been suggested that Project 2000 training has not taken account of the need to assess the development of specific nursing skills. This could result in nurses who may be in a vulnerable position upon qualification regarding the expectations of their skills performance. A new initiative has been developed at the University of Luton, which enables specific skills to be assessed for pre-registration students during the Common Foundation Programme. This document is discussed here and is the precursor to a wider research study proposed to be undertaken upon completion of the evaluation.

Apatinib, a commonly used tyrosine kinase inhibitor in cancer treatment, can cause adverse reactions such as hypertension. Hypertension, in turn, can increase the risk of certain cancers. The coexistence of these diseases makes the use of combination drugs more common in clinical practice, but the potential interactions and regulatory mechanisms in these drug combinations are poorly understood.

Bioluminescence inhibition (BLI) measurements in bioluminescent bacteria (BB) is perceived as a potential qualitative and quantitative indicator of hazardous materials. Acute but minor fluctuations in osmolarity and pH do not affect the living systems significantly. However, significant BLI is observed from marine BB due to acute osmolarity or pH changes that may affect the bioassay sensitivity.
