Nurses Supporting Family Caregivers
护士支持家庭照护员
Caregivers need more guidance from nurses to perform increasingly complex tasks.

Cultural Incongruence in Nursing Education
护理教育中的文化不一致性
A gentle argument for trying harder to see through others’ perspectives.
I recently participated in a university-wide discussion with other faculty and university leaders on the importance of diversity among our students and faculty. Although the discussion centered on ethnic and gender diversity, we know that cultures can be defined in many other ways—socioeconomically, for example, and by geography, age, and gender categories outside the male–female binary. The lack of a broader perspective can leave many people out of an effective discussion.

‘Midlevel Practitioner’: A Different View
中层执业人士：不同的观点
After reading “‘Midlevel’ Practitioner” (Viewpoint, July), I admit that I have a different perspective from that of the author. Having worked as a director in a home health setting, I'm aware of the restrictions placed on midlevel practitioners by the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS). There is a difference in the roles physicians and NPs play within the home health care realm.

Nurse Executives and EBP
护士执行官与EBP
I found the survey results regarding chief nursing executives and their use of evidence-based practice (EBP) in “Evidence-Based Care Is Highly Valued but Underused by Many Nurse Executives” (In the News, June) to be concerning. Health care is so geared toward utilizing EBP to produce the best patient outcomes that I can't imagine why an organization would choose not to embrace it. If patient safety and quality are truly top concerns for these respondents, there is no excuse not to pursue various means to implement EBP.
Working Against War
反对战争
Thank you very much for your incisive and informative interview with former Navy nurse Susan Schnall (“Peace and Reconciliation,”Profiles, August). As I write this, it is the anniversary of the Gulf of Tonkin Incident. The Vietnam War created a medical emergency that is still with us, not only for those killed and injured, but in terms of the destruction of land in Vietnam and the unhealed wounds caused by chemicals like Agent Orange.
The Professional Introduction
职业介绍
I've been a nurse for five years, the majority of which has been spent working in ambulatory surgery care where I encounter a minimum of 12 patients and their family members a day. At no point during or after nursing school was I told to disclose to patients both my first and last name along with my job title and responsibilities (“The Professional Introduction,” Viewpoint, June). The article states that some nurses are opposed to using their full names for safety reasons. However, I feel as though using my full name could be construed as being less personal. I have a tendency to shorten my name to “Jenn.” If I were to tell patients my name is Jennifer Murray, I would feel like I was putting up a wall by not allowing my patients to call me by the name I prefer.

NP compensation, however, increased 5.3%, for an average salary of $100,549.

This month's cover photo shows a nurse meeting with a patient and her family caregiver. Being the caregiver for a family member is an increasingly common experience for many Americans. According to a 2015 report by the AARP Public Policy Institute, an estimated 39.8 million Americans care for an adult, spending an average of 24.4 hours a week doing so. Approximately six in 10 caregivers report assisting with medical and nursing tasks, such as injections, tube feedings, and catheter care, but most have not received prior preparation or training.
