RESUMO

An antibiotic policy should aim for the safe, effective and economical use of antimicrobial drugs, and to prevent their indiscriminate use and development of resistant bacterial strains. The term 'antibiotic' is used as a general term for all antimicrobial drugs. Antibiotics prescriptions should be based on clinical evidence of bacterial infection, preferably substantiated by appropriate laboratory culture and sensitivity tests. Viral infections are not an indication for antibiotic prescriptions. Patient factors to be considered for choice and dose of an antibiotic are age, pregnancy, lactation, renal and hepatic impairment. Immunodeficient patients should receive only bactericidal drugs. Severity of infection determines the route of administration. Duration of therapy should not exceed five days, unless specifically prescribed by the physician. An antibiotic should, if started as an empirical therapy not be changed before a minimum of three days trial. Prescriptions of drugs such as aztreonam, imipenem, vancomycin, piperacillin and amphotericin are to be restricted due to cost and toxicity and should be reviewed by the microbiologist (AU)

RESUMO

Beset with feeble economies and debt servicing obligations, many countries have no recourse but to impose stringent structural adjustment policies, particular in the nonproductive social sectors such as health and education. Below, a look at the effects of these restraints on the health services and on nursing and some recommendations on how nurses respond, particularly in planning human resources. (AU)

RESUMO

The paper analyses the nutritional environment in the Commonwealth Caribbean. The differences in economic growth and the detrimental social consequences of those countries experiencing negative growth, are used to demonstrate the differing scenarios existing in the area. All the countries under review have for a prolonged period showed low domestic food production, and incurred large food import bills. Within this environment, household food security is unstable and very vulnerable especially for the poorer segments of society. Coping mechanisms employed by the government and the people have maintained an adequate supply of energy-rich foods so that energy-protein analysis of the available foods(using the most recent FAO data) point to a deficiency of complex carbohydrates, an overabundance of simple sugars and animal foods. From observation, the animal products tend to be very fatty. Coincidentally, the countries are experiencing an epidemic of the chronic nutrition-related diseases,e.g. cerebrovascular and ischemic heart diseases and diabetes mellitus of adult onset. The role and mission of the Caribbean food and Nutrition Institute in this nutritional environment is stated, as are its priority programme activities. As regards future directions, new targes to 1995 to be based on the situational analysis are presented. A shift in the work of the Institute to focus on chronic nutrition related diseases and health promotion and to emphasize health for development, is the major consideration for the 1990's

RESUMO

The paper analyses the nutritional environment in the Commonwealth Caribbean. The differences in economic growth and the detrimental social consequences of those countries experiencing negative growth, are used to demonstrate the differing scenarios existing in the area. All countries under review have for a prolonged period showed low domestic food production, and incurred large food import bills. Within this environment, household food production is unstable and very vulnerable especially for the poor segments of society. Coping mechanisms employed by the government and people have maintained an adequate supply of energy-rich foods so that energy-protein malnutrition has slowly and steadily declined in most countries. However, an analysis of the available foods (using the most recent FAO data) point to a deficiency of complex carbohydrates, an overabundance of simple sugars and animal foods. From observation, the animal products tend to be very fatty. Coincidentally, the countries are experiencing an epidemic of the chronic nutrition-related diseases, e.g. cerebrovascular and ischemic heart diseases and diabetes mellitus of adult onset (AU)
