Our first CE, “Acute Pain Management for Inpatients with Opioid Use Disorder,” reviews current literature related to the topic of acute pain management for inpatients with OUD and dispels common myths about opioids and OUD. Our second CE, “Sexually Transmitted Infections in the United States: Overview and Update,” provides an overview of the symptoms, screening, and treatment recommendations for the most common STIs in the United States and describes the most recent relevant findings in order to inform nursing practice. The Cultivating Quality feature, “Improving Pediatric Temperature Measurement in the ED,” discusses an ED staff-led quality improvement project conducted to determine the best method of pediatric temperature measurement. In “Perspectives on Leadership: Conflict Engagement: Creating Connection and Cultivating Curiosity,” the American Organization of Nurse Executives’ Leadership Column introduces an approach for practicing the skills needed for creating connection and cultivating curiosity when addressing conflict on the unit. Finally, “Ethical Issues: Teaching Crucial Knowledge vs. Helping Out on the Unit” explores the ethical considerations that occur when student education and urgent patient care needs are conflicting priorities. In addition, there’s News, Reflections, Drug Watch, Art of Nursing, and more.
