Are you missing vital patient clues from your physical assessments?
You are busy. More patients assigned to your care. And they only seem to be sicker when they come in. Maybe something seemed ‘off’ about the patient, but you just weren’t able to put your finger on it… Getting more critical information from the patient, in a relatively short amount of time, has to be the goal!
With this cutting-edge online course, you’ll get step-by-step guidance on how to quickly and thoroughly assess patients, dig deeper into the pathophysiology behind their conditions and take away the skills to confidently initiate the right interventions. All in just 6 self-paced video modules! Learn to masterfully predict a differential diagnosis through advanced cardiac, respiratory and neurological assessment techniques!
Register today….to become the respected, go-to person on your unit! Improve your confidence, increase efficiency, and avoid delays in patient care!
Here’s what this intensive online course covers:
Advanced Assessment Skills: Master Cardiac, Neuro, & Respiratory Patients
Head-to-Toe Approach
- Identify patient status changes – from the slightest clues
- Perform a more efficient exam without missing critical patient information
- Maximize your assessment skills – inspect, auscultate, palpate, percuss
Cardiac Exam
- Examination of mitral, tricuspid, pulmonary, and aortic valves
- Importance of auscultation sites, sequencing and technique
- Characteristics of a functional murmur
- 7-point classification
- When does a murmur become pathologic?
- Detect abnormal cardiac sounds
Respiratory Exam
- Anatomy as it relates to patient presentation
- Anticipate patient changes
- What you should expect to hear
- Bronchial, broncho-vesicular, vesicular breath sounds
- Bronchophony, egophony, whispered pectoriloquy
- Death rattle, absent breath sounds
- Advanced interpretation of crackles, rhonchi, stridor, wheezes
Neurological Exam
- Master the 6 components of a neuro exam – in less time
- ABCT of the mental status exam
- Confusion Assessment Method (CAM) results and interpretation
- Pick up on the red flags from your findings – altered mental status, cranial nerves, motor, sensory, cerebellar functions, reflexes
- Danger signs that you don’t want to miss…
