Moral distress occurs when clinicians know the morally correct action to take but are unable to follow through because of internal and external constraints. It is associated with negative consequences, such as burnout, decreased job satisfaction, avoidance, and turnover. The purpose of this study was to describe the frequency and level of moral distress among inpatient oncology nurses and to identify possible associations among nurses' demographic characteristics, work experience, and moral distress levels. Ninety-three inpatient oncology nurses from a large academic health system completed the Moral Distress Scale-Revised (MDS-R). Plerixafor Additional questions included intent to leave and requests for changes in patient assignments because of moral distress. Years as a nurse, changing or considering changing patient assignments, and changing care provided to a patient because of moral distress were statistically significantly associated with higher MDS-R scores. Participants reported using palliative care consultations, pastoral care, and social work to assist with their moral distress.

Falls experienced by patients undergoing blood and marrow transplantation or treatment with cellular immunotherapy (BMT-CI) may result in injury or death. An algorithm was developed using the patient fall circumstances identified in a chart analysis from 2016. This study aimed to determine if the Moffitt BMT-CI Orthostatic Vital Signs Algorithm could decrease inpatient falls. A pre-/post-test program evaluation was conducted for one year pre- and postimplementation of the algorithm on newly admitted inpatients. Adherence rate of nurses using the algorithm was monitored. Overall falls decreased from 5.38% to 3.44%, with zero falls or injuries related to orthostasis for newly admitted patients. Adherence of nurses using the algorithm increased from 60% to 93%. The fall rate has been sustained less than baseline with 100% adherence, and the algorithm has been adopted as standard of practice.

An understanding of the genomic alterations that occur in these tumors will help to explain the diverse clinical characteristics of thyroid tumors, provide diagnostic information, and direct therapy. This article reviews the classification, genetics, and risks and management of hereditary cancer syndromes, as well as the somatic gene variants found in thyroid epithelial tumors, with clinical implications. The literature has emphasized the importance of effective communication regarding psychosocial needs; however, other aspects of patient care, including attention to physical needs, are equally important. The aims of this article are to (a) describe an Interprofessional Communication Curriculum (ICC) in oncology, (b) detail the curriculum content specifically focused on physical aspects of care, and (c) illustrate the importance of interprofessional care in oncology. The ICC is organized by the 8 domains of the National Consensus Project for Quality Palliative Care and centers on communication skills needed in oncology clinical practice. Based on initial pilot data, oncology clinicians indicate a high le
