Editor-in-Chief Shawn Kennedy and Clinical Editor Betsy Todd present the highlights of the February issue of the American Journal of Nursing. On this month’s cover is a watercolor painting by artist Vivian Jay, MSN, FNP-BC. Our first CE, “Improving Outcomes for Patients with Chronic Kidney Disease: Part 1” offers an overview of the disease, describes identification and etiology, and discusses ways to slow disease progression. In our second CE, “Nursing’s Evolving Role in Patient Safety,” the authors discuss their content analysis of 1,086 AJN articles published from 1900 through 2015. Our next article, “Supporting Family Caregivers: Medication Management for People with Dementia,” offers recommendations for nurses as they teach family caregivers how to manage medications for a family member with dementia. “A Collaborative State of the Science Initiative: Transforming Moral Distress into Moral Resilience in Nursing” describes a collaborative project in which nurse clinicians, researchers, and ethicists met to examine practices for addressing moral distress. In addition, there’s News, Reflections, Drug Watch, Art of Nursing, and more.
