Physical Findings

We have been impressed with the relative laxity in the care of newborns between delivery and first observation by a pediatrician. Especially during this critical period of transition, careful monitoring is required. A program for the training of a neonatal nurse practitioner (NNP), therefore, was developed at a regional Air Force hospital and 14 registered nurses and one licensed practical nurse have since been trained. Formal instruction consisted of 24 hours of cribside activity including presentation of factual material, demonstration of physical findings and discussion of pathophysiology.

Objective To determine the frequency and characteristics of home visits in centers that provide training for peritoneal dialysis (PD). Design Mail survey sent to all dialysis centers in the United States providing home PD, using the Health Care Federal Administration (HCFA) Renal Provider list. Results Surveys were mailed to 1247 centers; 13 were undeliverable, resulting in 1234 surveys successfully delivered; 670 (54%) of those surveyed responded. Of those responding, 525 (78.4%) reported home visits were part of the care of home PD patients: 11% made a single home visit, 52% made an initial home visit with at least one followup visit, and 16% made visits only as needed. No home visits were made by 21% of responding centers. A registered nurse (RN) alone made the home visit in 61% of the centers, while a multidisciplinary team accompanied the RN in 35% of centers; 3% of visits were made by a licensed practical nurse, and 1% by the physician. Half of the visits required 0.5 -1 hour, while 41% required 1 -2 hours. Travel time was most often an hour or less one way. Staff were reimbursed for travel expenses by 90% of the centers. The 525 centers making home visits were not different than the 145 centers not making home visits in number of patients per center, number of RNs, rural or urban location, or affiliation with a university. Interpretation of the HCFA regulations concerning home visits was the most important factor influencing centers making home visits. Conclusions Home visits to continuous ambulatory PD and continuous cycling PD patients in the United States are common. Nearly 80% of centers responding to the survey include home visits in the care of their home peritoneal dialysis patients.
