            For decades, electronic fetal heart monitoring (EFM) has generated varied and inconsistent interpretation by nurses, nurse-midwives, residents, and physicians. These inconsistencies have prompted a need for an adjunctive technology to enhance EFM interpretation and minimize human error, thereby enhancing decision making. A recent advancement in this area involves use of the STAN® S31 fetal heart monitor. This new technology may ultimately improve the quality of care for laboring women, as well as maternal–fetal outcomes.

            One of the most challenging questions that nurse practitioners or other diabetes educators can ask is: “How can I get my patients to do what they are supposed to do?” For NPs, taking care of patients with diabetes mellitus (DM) entails devising treatment plans, providing patient education, and monitoring patients’ responses to treatment. For patients, DM management entails learning a wide variety of new behaviors, including taking medication, implementing lifestyle changes, and self-monitoring of blood glucose levels. Many patients have difficulty adopting these changes and incorporating them into daily life. This article will help NPs guide patients with DM to make behavior changes that will improve their health.

            The purpose of this article is to present a synthesis of research regarding polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) diagnosis and management, particularly with respect to an intervention called the group medical visit (GMV), which is advocated to enhance care for women with this chronic disease. Objectives of the article include (1) evaluating the impact of GMVs on chronic disease in terms of both patient and healthcare practitioner (HCP) satisfaction and health outcomes, (2) exploring the impact of intensified patient education and access to HCPs in a GMV setting, and (3) assessing the importance of support and community resources for PCOS sufferers in the GMV setting.

            NPs treating women with a high-risk pregnancy are responsible for educating both their patients and other healthcare professionals about optimal care for these patients. In order to do so, NPs must be up to date on the latest options available for pregnant women who are at increased risk for giving birth prematurely.

      <title>Articles : The Relationship Between Limited English Proficiency and Cervical Cancer Screening in Hispanic Women</title>

            Hispanic women with limited English proficiency (LEP) who live in the United States, relative to other populations in this country, tend to have low rates of cervical cancer screening. As a result, they are at a higher risk for a late-stage cervical cancer diagnosis and related mortality. Although the rate of cervical cancer for all US women has declined over the years, that for LEP Hispanic women in this country has risen. Attention to culturally appropriate cancer screening has been demonstrated to increase repeat cervical cancer screening rates among Hispanic women. The purpose of this article is to explore possible causes of the lower rate of cervical cancer screening among LEP Hispanic women, to describe the impact of LEP on cervical cancer screening, and to suggest ways for nurse practitioners to overcome this barrier.

            Most new parents want to do everything they can to ensure their baby has the best chance of having a great life. After reading all the books, talking to all the friends, and eating all the right foods, parents quickly learn that taking care of their baby is not formulaic. Everyone has a different answer. According to author Kathleen McCue, a nurse practitioner and lactation consultant, there is no one right way to do it. She suggests that new mothers take everyone’s advice, stir it up in a pot, and pull out the pieces that work for themselves and their baby. In a humorous way, McCue shows mothers that they already have all the tools they need!

            OBJECTIVES:
1. Improve the identification of women at risk for discontinuation of breast-feeding.
2. Inform practitioners that a normal prenatal body mass index (BMI) does not provide reassurance that maternal weight gain-related breast-feeding problems are not a potential threat.
3. Emphasize the need for lactational and nutritional intervention early in the postpartum period to promote success for women with an elevated BMI.
