Stuck inside a cloud : Optimizing sedation to reduce ICU-associated delirium in geriatric patients
AbstractChen, L., & Lim, F. (2015). (Vols. 38, Issues 3, pp. 245-252). 10.1097/CNQ.0000000000000067AbstractElderly population account for more than 50% of all intensive care admissions, and during their stay, up to 87% of them suffer from delirium. There is a large body of evidence demonstrating increased mortality and worse cognitive function for elderly patients who become delirious during their intensive care unit stay. Although the cause of delirium is multifactorial, inappropriate and outdated sedation methods are preventable causes. We review the current best evidences and provide what we believe are the best sedation strategies that are in line with the Society of Critical Care Medicine's Pain, Agitation and Delirium best practice guideline to reduce the incidence of intensive care unit-associated delirium.Addressing health care disparities in the lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender population : A review of best practices
AbstractLim, F., Brown, D. V., & Kim, S. M. (2014). (Vols. 114, Issues 6, pp. 24-34). 10.1097/01.NAJ.0000450423.89759.36AbstractOVERVIEW: The health care needs of people who are lesbian, gay, bisexual, or transgender (LGBT) have received significant attention from policymakers in the last several years. Recent reports from the Institute of Medicine, Healthy People 2020, and the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality have all highlighted the need for such long-overdue attention. The health care disparities that affect this population are closely tied to sexual and social stigma. Furthermore, LGBT people aren't all alike; an understanding of the various subgroups and demographic factors is vital to providing patient-centered care. This article explores LGBT health issues and health care disparities, and offers recommendations for best practices based on current evidence and standards of care.Civility and workplace bullying : Resonance of nightingale's persona and current best practices
AbstractLim, F., & Bernstein, I. (2014). (Vols. 49, Issues 2, pp. 124-129). 10.1111/nuf.12068AbstractConflict or aggression occurring between and among healthcare workers is undermining attempts to create a culture of safety in the workplace. Healthcare occupations have higher rates of workplace bullying (WPB), and intimidating behavior across healthcare settings has been shown to foster medical errors, increase the cost of care, and contribute to poor patient satisfaction and preventable adverse outcomes. WBP is also partially responsible for the high attrition among nurses, a particular concern in the current nursing shortage. Through a narrative that explores Florence Nightingale's professional persona and experience, this article outlines various factors that contribute to incivility and WPB, and provides suggestions for curriculum design that may help preempt incivility in tomorrow's nurses.LGBT health

AbstractLim, F., Brown, D. V., & Jones, H. (2013). (Vols. 52, Issues 4, pp. 198-203). 10.3928/01484834-20130311-02AbstractAs the health care needs of the lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender (LGBT) population become increasingly important, health care professionals require appropriate academic and clinical training in preparation for the increased demand for culturally competent care. Nurses are of particular interest, as they are the core direct caregivers in many health care settings. This article explores the national climate around LGBT individuals and their related health needs. Educators and administrators who work with future nurses should strive to ensure they foster the development of knowledgeable practitioners who will be able to implement best practices in LGBT patient care. Attention should be paid to providing students with diverse clinical placements, access to LGBT interest groups, and clear expectations for LGBT-sensitive nursing care plans and course outcomes selection that promote cultural competence. Recommendations for nursing education and curricular reform are discussed. -
