Editor-in-Chief Shawn Kennedy and Clinical Editor Betsy Todd present the highlights of the November issue of AJN. Our first CE, “Original Research: Primary Care Providers and Screening for Military Service and PTSD,” explores whether primary care providers in the private sector are screening patients for military service and subsequent posttraumatic stress disorder. Our second CE, “Preeclampsia: Current Approaches to Nursing Management,” provides a clinical update on current practice related to preeclampsia risk assessment, prediction, and management, plus pathophysiology. The author of our next article, “Creating a Fair and Just Culture in Schools of Nursing,” discusses strategies nursing schools can use to create a fair and just culture. “Perspectives in Palliative Nursing: Liberty and Justice for All” explores how circumstances faced by unauthorized immigrants can raise ethical quandaries regarding the principles of patient autonomy and justice. In addition, there’s News, Reflections, Drug Watch, Art of Nursing, and more.
