Somewhere between these extremes lies the transitional period of events and conditions through which each nurse passes at her or his own pace. It is within this time zone that nurses experience rural reality and move toward becoming professionals who understand that having gone rural, they are not less than they were, but rather, they are more than they expected to be. Some may be conscious of the transition, and others may not, but in the end, a few will say, “I am a rural nurse.” – Scharff (1998, p. 38) Copyright © 2015, 2011, 2007, 2001, 1997, 1993 by Saunders, an imprint of Elsevier Inc. 33 Rural Health Research  Research agendas must address: ➢ The capacity of rural public health to manage improvements in health ➢ Information technology capacity in rural communities ➢ Developing and monitoring performance standards in rural public health ➢ Developing leadership and public health workforce capacity within rural public health ➢ Interaction and integration of community health systems, managed care, and public health in rural America – Berkowitz, Ivory, & Morris (2002) Copyright © 2015, 2011, 2007, 2001, 1997, 1993 by Saunders, an imprint of Elsevier Inc. 34 Capacity of Rural Public Health to Manage Improvements in Health   Healthy People 2020 objectives and intervention strategies Information Technology in Rural Communities ➢ ➢ ➢ ➢ EHR and reimbursement Preparedness strengthens infrastructure Continuing education and advanced education Telehealth impact on public health • Skills via distance learning? • Costs and infrastructure of IT? • Gaps in epidemiology and surveillance capacity?

Case Study 3

Disorders of Ventilation and Gas Exchange

Emmanuel and his mother live in an urban community housing complex. The building is worn down and dirty from the urban dust, cockroaches, and mold. Emmanuel is five years of age and has suffered from asthma for the last two years. One evening, his mother poured him some milk and put him to bed. Shortly afterward, Emmanuel woke up wheezing and coughing. As he gasped for air, he became more and more anxious. His mother ran for his inhaler, but he was too upset and restless to use it. Emmanuel’s skin became moist with sweat, and as he began to tire, his wheezing became quieter. His mother called 911 and waited anxiously for the ambulance to arrive.

Emmanuel uses a corticosteroid inhaler for the management of his asthma. What is the mechanism of action of this drug? How is its action different from the β2-agonist inhalants?
Why does someone with severe asthma become physically fatigued during a prolonged attack? What are the physiological events that occur during an attack?
One of the complications of respiratory fatigue is the development of hypercapnia. How does the body compensate for an increase in CO2? What are the effects of hypercapnia on the central nervous system?
