(3) Sputum of every patient should be examined once a month; patients should be re-examined once a month, and the results entered on the records. (4) The physician should use the nurse's report of home conditions as a basis for advising patients. (5) Patients refusing to attend the proper dispensary shall be dismissed as delinquent and reported to the Health Department. (6) All supervising nurses should be affiliated with some local relief organization in order to better organize the relief work of the clinic. (7) The home of every patient should be visited at least once a month. (8) The classification of the National Association for the Study and Prevention of Tuberculosis should be followed for recording stages of disease and condition on discharge. (9) A uniform system of record keeping should be used by nurses in order to facilitate the compiling of monthly reports. (10) The staff of physicians should be sufficient to allow at least fifteen minutes for the examination of every new case, and at least six minutes for every old case. (11) There should be at least one nurse for every 100 patients on the clinic register. (12) Sputum cups, or a proper substitute, should be furnished to patients to take home. (13) Paper or gauze handkerchiefs should be given to each patient on entrance to the clinic. (14) No cuspidors should be used. (15) Sanitary fountains or sanitary drinking cups should be provided. (16) Gowns with sleeves should be worn by physicians. Nurses should wear gowns with sleeves or washable uniforms while on duty in the dispensary. That the Association found it necessary to make so many recommendations for the administration of the various clinics is evidence of the diverse systems, and in some instances, the entire lack of system, in vogue in some dispensaries. The salary of nurses in privately operated tuberculosis dispensaries averages about $75 per month; no standard uniform is in use. The first tuberculosis visiting nurse of the New York Department of Health was appointed March 1st, 1903. By January, 1910, the staff had grown to 158, the Health Department becoming practically responsible for the home supervision of every registered case of tuberculosis in New York not under the care of a private physician or in an institution.
