Bottle-feeding: formulas and equipment
Article Abstract:
Health professionals have an important role to play in promoting breast-feeding but should be capable of offering appropriate advice to women who, for a variety of personal, social, cultural or even medical reasons, prefer to bottle-feed. The importance of thorough sterilisation of bottle-feeding equipment to eliminate the risk of the baby contracting gastroenteritis must be emphasised. The steam method and the microwave method of sterilising bottle-feeding equipment provide alternatives to the use of sterilising tablets or liquids but the running costs are higher.

Blinded by the light
Article Abstract:
There are a number of health professionals in the UK who believe that they have been assisted by a guardian angel at a time of great difficulty. Health visitor Helen Marshall, for example, believes that a guardian angel protected her when she was attacked in a poor inner-city borough in London, England. RMN Amanda Dale believes that a guardian angel protected her when her car hit black ice. It is possible that the caring role fulfilled by nurses makes them more aware of the possibility of people being cared for by guardian angels.

The hole truth
Article Abstract:
Body piercing is increasing and nurses should be fully aware of the issues concerning this practice so they are able to give advice and guidance. There are no legal prohibitions or age restrictions to body piercing. It can be a painful procedure and it is very important that strict hygiene rules are followed during and after piercing. During the healing process, which can take up to 6 weeks, only surgical steel jewellery should be used.
