0239_EMC_Neuroscience Bootcamp_Live - 12/6/23 Class
Description:
This 8-hour Neuroscience Boot Camp is intended for all Neuroscience Nurses in the Intermediate and Intensive Care Units. Lecture with interactive Q&A will focus on the neuroanatomy, evaluation, assessment tools, and nursing care of the neurological patient using up-to-date evidence-based practice, Case Study-based discussion. The learner will be able to facilitate culturally and linguistically appropriate care, free of implicit bias. By the end of the class, the learner will be able to demonstrate a comprehensive neurological assessment and be signed-off based on unit standards and requirements.
Target Audience
Nurse Practitioner (NP)
Nurse, Registered (RN)
Pharmacists (PharmD)
Physician Assistant (PA)
Learning Objectives
Upon completion of this course, participants should be able to:
1. Review and identify basic neuroanatomy: Describe lobes of the brain and functions, and vascular supply.
2. Verbalize the purpose of the bedside neurological assessment.
3. Demonstrate a commitment to cultural humility with relevant cultural issues and implicit bias considerations of the neurological patient.
4. Correlate basic neuroanatomy to the potential neurologic deficit(s) that can be found during a bedside assessment.
5. Perform a simulated bedside neurological assessment with the assistance of another participant.
6. Demonstrate ability to critical think during the neurological assessment.
7. Recognize and verbalize the information needed and how to inform the neurosurgeon or neurologist regarding an abnormal assessment including change from the patient’s baseline assessment.
8. Demonstrate knowledge and understanding of the Stroke Core Measures, time sensitive measures, and how to ensure all core measures are met.
9. Demonstrate knowledge and understanding of documentation requirements for Stroke Core Measures.
10. Demonstrate ability to assess for BEFAST and activate a stroke alert.
11. State the pharmacological agents used in the management of aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage.
12. Summarize the evidence supporting the critical role of nimodipine in improving outcomes after aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage.
13. Summarize the evidence for use of milrinone in subarachnoid hemorrhage associated delayed cerebral ischemia.
14. Discuss modifiable stroke complications and the linked importance of anticipating, preventing and effectively managing these conditions, enhancing patient safety and contributing to improved outcomes.
