In 1993, Dr Knox Todd, an emergency physician on the medical staff of the UCLA Emergency Center in Los Angeles, reported study findings on a pain study. Inthe study, they looked at treatment given to all emergency department patients at UCLA between the ages of 15 and 55 over a two-year period for the treatment ofan isolated long-bone fracture to arm or leg. They selected this injury because it is one of the most consistently painful. The patients had no other serious injuries.Given the community served, these patients were either Hispanic (31 patients) or White (108 patients). They found:- 17 of the 31 Hispanic patients (55%) received no medication for pain during treatment- 28 of the 108 White patients (26%) received no medication for pain during treatmentMany professional colleagues criticized the study and suggested that different ethnic groups respond to pain differently. That Hispanic patients may be more stoicin the face of their injury, expressing fewer symptoms of pain to their physician than White patients. Dr. Todd later joined the faculty of Emory University in Atlanta,Georgia. There, he was able to repeat his earlier study in a large, inner-city community hospital in 2000. He evaluated records of 217 individuals presenting to theemergency room for treatment of an isolated long-bone fracture (no other serious injuries) over 40 months. This included 127 Black and 90 White patients. Theyfound that:- 54 of the 107 Black patients (43%) received no medication for pain during treatment- 23 of the 90 White patients (26%) received no medication for pain during treatmentBecause of feedback on the prior study, the investigators were sure to document the extent to which the patents expressed painful symptoms. They found that54% of the Black patients and 59% of the White patients expressed painful symptoms.Based on the information provided, which is the observed disparity in the study conducted at Emory?That a greater proportion of Black patients received no medication for pain during treatment when compared to White patients at an Atlanta hospital.That both Black and Hispanic patients have similar pain associated with long-bone fracture injury at two different hospitals in the US.That 127 Black patients are experiencing long-bone fractures at an Atlanta hospital.That many Black patients seek care at urban hospitals.

Macular degeneration is a serious disease of the eyes that can lead to blindness. A recent study suggeststhat nutrients such as lutein and zeaxanthin, found in green leafy vegetables, can slow the onset andprogress of this disease in humans. In the study, a group of 2000 older individuals were contacted throughrandom digit dialing and asked about their eating habits. (Macular degeneration usually manifests later inlife.) The group who ate green leafy vegetables fewer than two times a week had a significantly higher rateof macular degeneration (25% higher) than those who ate green leafy vegetables five or more times perweek. They also had a higher rate (5%) of cases that were considered severe among those who had thedisease.(a) Determine whether the study is an observational study or an experiment.

Consider what you personally believe about pain: what it is,what causes it, what is most likely to relieve it. Determine how pain is currently being managed within the tradition of West-ern medicine and what role nursing plays in keeping patients pain free.
