Advanced Practice Nursing
[ send me this paper ]
A 10 page paper discussing the continuing evolution of advanced practice nursing and the resistance it receives from physician groups. Nurse practitioners and other advanced practice nurses have filled significant roles in US health care for years. They have legal rights and the technical expertise to take on much of the burden of providing direct health care services, generally under the supervision of an MD. This advanced practice niche is a hybrid position arising from increasing pressures on the still-evolving health care American health care system; it is a position respected in the profession and welcomed by patients. Bibliography lists 8 sources.

Advances in Body-Scan Imaging Technologies
[ send me this paper ]
A 15 page paper discussing the technology involved in computed tomography (CT), magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), ultrasound, positron emission tomography (PET), and single photon emission computed tomography (SPECT). Though medical imaging technology seemed to languish for nearly a generation without much technological advance beyond that which allowed the creation of various approaches, the continuing evolution of the entire health care system seems to be creating an environment in which additional technological advance not only is encouraged but then embraced when it emerges. Managed care’s “bean counting” approach to finance discouraged imaging advance in past years, but ultimately may well be the single most important factor in continuing technological advance in imaging techniques. Bibliography lists 10 sources.
