State Nurses Assn. Urge the
Teaching Of Care of Tuber-
culosis in Schools
COOPERATION FOR SOCIETY

An imposing obstacle in the path Of
progress in the care, control and pre-
vention Of consumption has been re,
moved by the action of the Wisconsin
State Association Of Graduate Nurses
in adopting resolutions calling upon
training schools to furnish adequate in
struction in tuberculosis. When such
instruction is not possible in the train
ing schools, the association suggests af-
fliation with tuberculosis sanatoria, to
the end of fitting every nurse with
sound knowledge in the care of tuber-
culosis patients in the home or in in
situations.
1t has been matter of regret among
physicians that training schools have
neglected instruction in tuberculosis.
This has been due mainly to the anti
quated ideas concerning the disease
held by these schools. The neglect has
been reflected in the work of nurses,
who have fought shy of tuberculosis
cases, doubtless from fear of contract
ing the disease.
Courses do not hesitate to take
cases of typhoid fever, which is as in
fictitious as consumption; nor do they
fear diphtheria and scarlet fever, which
are much more malignant and commu-
nicable than consumption, says well
known Milwaukee authority ON tuber-
culosis. "With proper precautions,
consumption is not at all dangerous to
those surrounding patent. If there is
faithful observance by patient and
attendant of the fundamental rules re
garding the disposal of the sputum-
the only source of infection-there is
no danger"
The Wisconsin Tuberculosis AS
ISOLATION is enthusiastic over the ac-
tion of the nurses association, as if
means the enlistment of the earnest
and capable cooperation of an import
ant factor-the nurse-in the battle
against consumption in Wisconsin
