    So, while there's a large correspondence between the three, there are some areas of independence. However, the bigger picture is that about half of the total nursing tasks performed by entry-level nurses utilize the skill of clinical judgment or a related component. Some other results that were found related to the overall importance of clinical judgment to nursing, for instance, when the duty areas were evaluated, clinical judgment was important for 75% of the areas, indicating that this skill is needed broadly across the scope of duties performed.

    So again, it's just these examples that I'm showing you but it's just what the writer has given, but other examples could be in different clinic settings. And that's where that Layer 4 piece comes in, which is, okay, now I know I'm in the outpatient clinic or I'm in a community care or long-term care setting or long-term care facility, I have different resources there and I can do different things there than I can if I'm in either an ICU or an emergency department or a PACU. So all of these things need to be taken into consideration when looking at the scenario, building the scenario, and then making sound clinical judgments, knowing what your resources are, knowing exactly what's going on with your client, big picture.

    AMPHETAMINES Amphetamine is a metabolite of methamphetamine, therefore positive amphetamine does NOT cause positive methamphetamine unless this was also ingested. Positive amphetamine can result from 2 common ADD drugs – Adderall and Vyvanse. However, Ritalin, phentermine and Provigil must be specifically ordered to be detected. Note: There is a non-mood altering legal type of methamphetamine found in some OTC products; usually nasal sprays. If there is a positive methamphetamine, the specimen can be rerun for isomeric differentiation. BARBITURATES Most barbiturates are excreted as the original drug.

    A CAT exam can be terminated by these three stopping rules. The first stopping rule is the 95% confidence interval. After a candidate answers 60 operational items, the computer starts to check if the candidate's ability is clearly above or below the passing standard. The exam continues when the confidence interval straddles the passing standard. The exam stops when the confidence interval is clearly above or below the passing standard. When the ability is above the passing standard, the candidate passes the exam. When the ability is below the passing standard, the candidate failed the exam.

    As described in the article, the ULR Committee put a rig- orous amount of work, attention, and detail into the development of 2011 ULRs. The NCSBN Delegate Assembly made some thoughtful modifications. Working together, the state boards have developed robust uniform licensure requirements that will lead us into the next decade. Please support these when your state is ready to adopt them. One additional note: There is another article in this issue I would like to call to your attention, and that is “The First National Survey of Medication Aides” by Jill S. Budden. This study raises some important questions about the education, su- pervision, and regulation of medication aides in nursing homes and other types of facilities.
