    Opinions of Nurses About the Evaluation of Risk of Falling Among Inpatients
    (Lippincott Williams & Wilkins, 2017) Atay, Selma; Vurur, Sevda; Erdugan, Necla
    Background: Patient falls and fall-related injuries are an important problem for patients, relatives, caregivers, and the health system at large. Aims: This study aims to identify opinions of nurses about the risk of falling among patients staying in hospitals. Method: This study uses a qualitative descriptive design and employs a semistructured interview method to identify the opinions and experiences of nurses about patient falls. This study evaluated the opinions of a total of 12 staff nurses. Findings: It was found that nurses consider patients in the postoperative period to be most prone to falls. They think that most falls take place during transfers and that the medical diagnosis of the patient plays a crucial role in fall incidents. The most important problem associated with patient falls was symptoms of traumatic brain injury. According to the participating nurses, the risk of fall for every patient should be evaluated upon admission. Measures that the nurses take against patient falls include raising the bed's side rails and securing the bed brakes. Conclusions: The findings of this research suggest that in-service training programs about the evaluation of the risk of falling should be organized for nurses. Guidelines should be developed for patients with different levels of risk of falling. It is suggested that nurses should be in charge of training patients who are conscious, their relatives, and caregiver personnel. Clinical Relevance: The training of nurses and caregivers helps to prevent the falls of inpatients.

    Osteryoung square wave voltammetric determination of phenazopyridine hydrochloride in human urine and tablet dosage forms based on electrochemical reduction at carbon paste electrode
    (Bentham Science Publ Ltd, 2007) Citak, Meryem; Yilmaz, Selahattin; Dilgin, Yusuf; Tuerker, Guelen; Yagmur, Sultan; Erdugan, Hueseyin; Erdugan, Necla
    An electroanalytical method was developed for the direct quantitative determination of phenazopyridine hydrochloride (PAP) or in other words, pyridium, in spiked human urine and tablet dosage forms. The electrochemical reduction and determination of PAP were carried out at carbon paste electrode (CPE) in various aquaeous Solution in the pH range of 0.5-12.30 by (CV) and osteryoung square wave voltammetry (OSWV). The best results were obtained for the quantitative determination of PAP by OSWV method in 0.5 mol L-1 Sulfuric acid at about pH 0.51. The peak current and peak potential depend on pH and scan rate were studied. The diffusion controlled nature of the peak was established. This electroanalytical procedure made it possible to determine PAP in the concentration range 2.5x10(-8)-2.5x10(-6) mol L-1. Limit of detection (LOD) and limit of quantification (LOQ) were obtained as 7.5x10(-9) and 2.5x10(-8) mol L-1 respectively. Precision and accuracy of the developed method were checked by recovery studies in spiked urine and tablet dosage forms.
