This type of nursing is characterstically curative and restorative, generally acute or chronic in nature, and for the most part carried out in a hospital or other in-patient setting. The second career pattern is distributive. It emphasizes those aspects of nursing practice that are designed for health maintenance and disease prevention, generally continuous (long-life) in nature, seldom acute, and takes place primarily in community, or emergent institutional settings. One of the primary focuses of the new curriculum is the expansion and emphasis on distributive nursing practice as a means of meeting professional responsibility. Throughout the students' course of study they are instructed in the theoretical and conceptual aspects of episodic and distributive nursing. In their junior and senior years, they are also afforded the opportunity to build upon classroom learning through clinical experience in various hospital and community settings. This academic year marks the third class that has graduated from the new program which concentrates on both episodic and distributive nursing practice. The distributive aspect of the curriculum emphasizes the family life cycle as students interact with families and different age groups to learn about the specific health needs of designated populations. For example, students who have focused on learning child development, use such experiences with healthy pre-schoolers to determine any deviations from the norm. Auditory, visual and developmental screening are helpful to nursing students in discerning a child's health status and offering anticipatory guidance to both teachers and parents. "It is much easier to give input to a child when he has obvious problems," emphasized Miss Shelden, "but the greater challenge comes when you work with the normal child and make him aware of necessary health care practices." The anxiety and fears attached to pregnancy, birth and parenthood are also an integral part of the family life cycle. Students who are assisting expectant families conduct classes on the physical and emotional needs of both parents and their child before and after birth. As both counselor and teacher, students hold classes in the Ob-Gyn Outpatient Clinic at Duke and the YlAICA in downtown Durham. "Fear of the unknown can produce a lot of anxieties for expectant parents," said Miss Webb, "but when you bring a group like this together in a class they can share these fears and realize that their problems are not unique. It is our job to dispel fears that stem from old wives' tales, and provide parents with sound counseling and pertinent information." The process of aging is also another important part of the family life cycle and carries with it an entirely different set of health care demands. Loss of memory, failing K'ealth, financial dependency, and loneliness are just some of the problems both the sick and the active aged encounter. In becoming acquainted with this aging process as it related ‘o nursing intervention, students at providing health counseling, teaching and companionship for the aged in the community. At the HiU Haven Rose Manor Medical Complex, a nursing home in Durham, students arrange physical therapy and occupational therapy programs for the sick aged and assist them in determining and planning their health care needs. Under the Coordinating Council for Senior Citizens, students perform,routine blood pressure tests and discuss diets, medication and other health needs with the active aged at the three nutrition centers in Durham. Miss Dilgren sees her role at a nutrition .center as that of nurse and friend. "At the center," she explained, "people wait expectantly for me to take their blood pressure, for it is at this time that they can converse with me about their problems and I can offer guidance." The range and scope of experiences offered through the distributive nursing course and its related workshops for faculty and student participants are both designed for one purpose. All community work, be it in a pre-school day care center; an outpatient Ob-Gyn clinic; an adult ambulatory outpatient clinic at the VA Hospital; the Durham County Community Mental Health Center's After Care Clinic; the Johnston County Community Health Department; the Durham County Health Department; or one of the nutrition centers, is patterned to instruct students in that aspect of nursing practice which emphasizes the maintenance of health and the prevention of disease. I • -DALE MOSES WELL, THEY ALMOST MADE /T—Medical students staged their annual Studeni Faculty Show at the Stallion Club last Wednesday evening, and one of the many skits they performed dealt with the joys of having one's picture on the cover of the "Intercom." Sung to the tune of "Cover of the Rolling Stone," the number elicited an enthusiastic response from the audience who seemed to agree that such immortalization is an honor which can only be equalled by being represented in a student dramatic presentation of this sort. The editors regret there wasn't room on the cover of the "Intercom" this week. (Photo by David Williamson)
