January 2011 Highlights

Interim editor-in-chief Shawn Kennedy and clinical editor Christine Moffa present the highlights of the January issue of the American Journal of Nursing, which features two CE articles: one on occupational hazards for pregnant nurses and another on recognizing and managing acute alcohol withdrawal. Other articles include our Book of the Year awards; features on reducing inappropriate medications among the elderly; another installment from our very popular series, Evidence-Based Practice, Step by Step ; our special “Year-in-Review” expanded news section; a Policy and Politics report on the status of the Affordable Care Act, plus Drug Watch, and more. There’s also a podcast with pregnant nurses and their managers, discussing what safeguards they practice in the perioperative setting.
