As a nurse / doctor, you remember a patient who seemed to be getting worse before your eyes, and you wonder if anything could have prevented this clinical crisis?
What do you do with the subtle signs and symptoms that you identify in your patient that are still within the normal range, but your nurse’s intuition tells you that something is wrong?
How to recognize early clinical signs of impending death in a patient and effectively intervene before the onset of a crisis?
Ideally, your job is not to run good code, but to prevent it from appearing. To do this, you need to know what early warning signs are, perceive them, interpret them across the entire clinical picture, and act for the benefit of the patient.
This workshop examines subclinical signs – the First early warning signals of a problem. You will leave with a clearer understanding of the complex, interconnected organ systems of the body and be able to break them down into their component parts to understand how one organ system can cause a sign or symptom in another organ system.
Today, nurses care for more patients with higher visual acuity than ever before. To prevent a crisis, you need to know who is at risk and recognize the warning signs, no matter how subtle they may seem at first glance. Retrospective – 20/20. The art and science of nursing, a vital difference in effective nursing, is the ability to “see it happen.” Rachel Cartwright-Vanzant, MD, MS, LHRM, CCRN-K, will share with you effective and proven strategies for detecting clinical changes in a deteriorating patient.
