This highly anticipated new edition continues to provide you with comprehensive and detailed guidance on the assessment, management, and referral of work-related and non-occupational health issues as well as the development of workplace health programs. Divided into three sections, – Prevention and Screening, Primary Care, and Emergency Care – each of the more than 115 guidelines provides the definition, characteristics, objectives for care and outcomes, modes of treatment, necessity for referral, and an emphasis on follow-up. All guidelines have been reviewed and updated by an expert panel of occupational health nurses and physicians to provide a current and clear understanding of the clinical characteristics or treatment measures involved. Also included is a handy checklist for physician approval of the guidelines as Standing Orders. The book has several sections related to the practice of occupational health nursing including Special Programs areas such as health surveillance, case management, respiratory protection, hearing conservation, disaster management, and much more. The Occupational Health Resources Aids section assists the occupational health nurse in the delivery of occupational health services by providing forms for history taking and record keeping. Especially useful is a table of common prescriptive and non-prescriptive medications used in the occupational health setting with standing orders. A final section of Appendices includes a list of reference resources, community resources, State Boards of Nursing, NIOSH Education and Research Centers, acronyms, and a glossary. Long considered an important guide for clinical and programmatic areas in occupational health nursing practice, this new edition will provide a basis for actions that allow for, or rather demand, an individualized plan of care. The use of standardized clinical guidelines for nursing practice can help in the following ways: • To provide for goal-directed outcomes • To guide the systematic collection of data • To enhance critical thinking and clinical management skills • To maximize clinical decision-making • To improve the quality and consistency of nursing care • To guide the development of evaluative criteria • To foster professional accountability Pub.

[back to top] Preface to Fourth Edition The occupational health nurse's practice continues to expand with a focus not only on protection from work-related injury and disease, but also the provision of professional nursing care for the management of occupational and nonoccupational clinical conditions and health promotion activities that have become integral to the nursing role in the work setting. This trend has created a need for practice guidelines to help delineate parameters of care. Occupational Health Nursing Guidelines for Primary Clinical Conditions, Fourth Edition, is expanded and revised. The number of guidelines presented continue to grow based on needs identified from practitioners in the field, tripling those in the first edition. Guidelines have been categorized in three different areas: Prevention and Screening, Primary Care, and Emergency Care. Each guideline follows the same format: problem definition, clinical and related characteristics, and policy perspectives; clinical objectives, assessment criteria and nursing interventions; specific conditions requiring medical referral; and follow-up activities. Each clinical guide has been reviewed by nursing and medical experts, and some have been supplemented with summary or comparison tables and illustrations for a clearer understanding of the clinical characteristics or treatment measures involved. In addition, the manual has several sections related to the practice including special program areas important to occupational health nursing (e.g., surveillance, case management, respiratory protection), a resource aid section to assist the occupational health nurse in the delivery of occupational health services, and an appendices section with important and useful information. This book is considered a guide for clinical and programmatic areas in occupational health nursing practice, and each guideline should be treated as such. The guidelines presume that when any employee enters the occupational health setting, the occupational health nurse obtains an appropriate health and occupational history and conducts examinations relevant to the presenting problem and history within the limits of the applicable State Nurse Practice Act. These guidelines are written to provide a basis for such actions while allowing for, or rather demanding, an individualized plan of care. For many common health problems seen in the occupational health unit, independent nursing interventions are appropriate. However, because of the interdependent nature of nursing and medicine, collaborative strategies often are appropriate, requiring physician referral or intervention. Though each of the guidelines in this book notes specific conditions warranting referral, every situation is different, and professional judgment must guide the occupational health nurse in making referrals to other health care professionals. In addition, it is important to recognize that the occupational health nurse or other occupational health care provider does not constitute a replacement for the employee's primary health care provider; referrals and collaboration with the employee's primary health care provider are an essential component of the employee's overall health care. We believe that clinical nursing and programmatic guidelines used within a model of collaborative practice in occupational settings can help foster and clarify communication between occupational health nurses, physicians, and other health care providers with respect to appropriate and consistent procedures and parameters for clinical management and referral. In addition, the use of standardized clinical guidelines for nursing practice can help in the following ways: • To provide for goal-directed outcomes • To guide the systematic collection of data • To enhance critical thinking and clinical management skills • To maximize clinical decision-making • To improve the quality and consistency of nursing care • To guide the development of evaluative criteria • To foster professional accountability It is of paramount importance that the health care provider appropriately maintain confidentiality of employee health information. Information required by law and relevant to work-related illness and injury should be disclosed only within the parameters of ethical codes, maintaining employee autonomy, and informed consent. We hope that these guidelines will become a valuable resource for the professional registered nurse practicing in an occupational health setting. We encourage our readers, however, to make use of the many resources available to the occupational health nurse from both public and private sources. To that end, we have included appendices consisting of a variety of sources of information on the practice of occupational health nursing and on specific clinical conditions. Appendix A offers a categorical list of books and journals in the Occupational Health Nursing Reference Library. In Appendix B are Community Resources, including a list of training videos, catalogs, agencies, and organizations concerned with the advancement of health in the work setting. A directory of the State Boards of Nursing can be found in Appendix C, and in Appendix D are listed the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health Education and Research Centers. Appendix E presents commonly used acronyms and Appendix F is a glossary of commonly used terms. We encourage our readers to make use of these and other valuable resources in their daily practice and to continually search for new scientifically-based information that will support and improve occupational health nursing practice.
