=Increasing the Visiting List.= To increase the visiting list—that is, to bring under her care an increasingly larger proportion of the total number of tuberculous patients, even though the list becomes so large and unwieldy that she cannot manage it, should be the ambition of every tuberculosis nurse. At present, in every city in the country, there is so much undiscovered and unreported tuberculosis, that the failure of the nurse to increase the visiting list is an indication of poor work, not an indication that a full round-up has been made of all those suffering from this disease. This is especially true in a new community; a small or stationary visiting list is a sure sign, not necessarily of lazy or unconscientious work, but at least that the undertaking is being managed by someone who does not know how. To illustrate this: A nurse is sent to a certain house, to see a specified patient. She does her work well—gives him a bed-bath, shows the family what to do, and makes considerable impression along lines of general hygiene. As far as it goes, her work is satisfactory and good. Another nurse, however, sent into this same house, would not only do all these things equally well, but, in addition, she would discover that the patient’s wife was coughing and probably infected, while his old mother, retired in the chimney-corner, was in even worse plight than the patient himself. These suspects, therefore, she sends to the dispensary, where her suspicions are confirmed by the doctor’s findings. Thus, if a community possesses a nurse of the first type, it may rejoice to find the amount of tuberculosis so small. If, on the other hand, it has a woman of the second type, it will become alarmed and anxious at the increasing number of patients who need care and control.
