The document discusses a study that aimed to identify best practices for educating nurses to screen patients for alcohol use and deliver brief alcohol interventions. The study reviewed 11 randomized control trials of brief alcohol interventions delivered by nurses to patients identified through screening to be at risk. Most studies used the Alcohol Use Disorder Identification Test for screening and delivered motivational interviewing interventions in 30 minutes or less, though details on nurse training were limited. All studies measured alcohol consumption as an outcome.

The Importance of Understanding Hypertension: The Role of Nurse as an Investigator


SUMMARY
The primary care nurse owes it to themselves and their patients to be informed on the chronic diseases
they manage in order to achieve maximum patient compliance and satisfaction. Well informed,
confident practitioners will be able to deliver evidence-based structured advice, and in doing so
reduce morbidity and mortality rates from cerebrovascular accidents and cardiovascular disease for
patients regardless of age, gender, or ethnicity.
REFLECTION
To maximize patient compliance and happiness, the primary care nurse owes it to both themselves
and their patients to be knowledgeable about the chronic illnesses they treat. Additionally, keep in
mind that HTN is not a disease, only a reversible condition. No matter the patient's age, gender, or
ethnicity, well-informed, self-assured practitioners will be able to provide evidence-based, organized
guidance and so lower the morbidity and death rates from cerebrovascular accidents and
cardiovascular disease. Additionally, there is no one size fits all method for managing HTN. The
patient should be made to feel less anxious by the professional health care provider by explaining to
him or her the diagnostic processes, such as blood tests, computed tomography scans, and magnetic
resonance imaging. Finally, describe the underlying issue and treatment strategy with compassion and
tact. With your love for others, you are the extension of human science. Because you give them hope,
give your patients a sense of life and well-being.

Nurse-Led Delivery of Brief Interventions for At-Risk Alcohol Use


SUMMARY
Nurses are in key positions to reduce the global burden associated with alcohol, yet many are ill-
prepared to screen for alcohol use and intervene accordingly. The purpose of this integrative review
was to identify best practices for educating nurses to work with patients who are at risk for alcohol-
related adverse consequences, implement alcohol screening, and deliver alcohol brief interventions
(ABIs). AIMS: To identify and synthesize findings from randomized control trials of ABIs delivered
by nurses to patients identified through screening to be at risk because of alcohol use. METHOD: The
results of 11 published randomized control trials identified from a multi-database search were
synthesized. RESULTS: The Alcohol Use Disorder Identification Test was used for alcohol screening
in more than half of the studies. Most of the ABIs were based on motivational interviewing and
delivered in 30 minutes or less. While there was limited information on the characteristics of nurses
who delivered the interventions and how nurses were prepared to deliver the ABIs, the exemplar was
a full day workshop teaching nurses on an evidence-based framework for the ABI. All studies
measured alcohol consumption as an outcome, yet few used rigorous methods for obtaining this self-
reported data.

REFLECTION
Nurses, who make up the majority of the healthcare staff, play important responsibilities in addressing
the prevalence and effects of alcohol consumption. By using widespread alcohol use screening, nurses
are in a prime position to identify people who may be at risk due to alcohol use, and with the
knowledge and abilities to offer brief interventions, they can play a critical role in advancing the
country's health. To guarantee the implementation of evidence-based strategies to combat drug use,
nurses may and should take the lead in making changes to the health care system.
