- Child Abuse: Identification and Intervention 6
Course release date: 4/8/2024
About the Course:
For many healthcare providers working with the pediatric population, encountering a child that is being abused is almost guaranteed. Unfortunately, not all providers are well prepared to identify, handle, and support the child and family when it does occur. As mandatory reporters, they must be able to respond to these situations appropriately and safely to protect the child’s well-being. They should be familiar with the most common types of abuse, signs of such abuse, and interventions to take once it is identified. This CE module provides this background to improve a healthcare provider’s care of a pediatric patient suspected of being the victim of child abuse. - Diabetic Hypoglycemia 5 5
Course release date: 3/1/2026
Course Overview
The occurrence of hypoglycemia can be traumatic for the patient as well as the healthcare professional caring for them. Hypoglycemia is significantly problematic for people with diabetes. Patients experience short-term effects and, in some cases, long-term adverse results. Startlingly, it is not uncommon for the individual to have a lack of warning of the hypoglycemic episode. With this in mind, a strong understanding of the pathophysiology, assessment, and treatment is needed for healthcare professionals caring for this population. Early recognition and understanding of the cause of this complication is imperative for appropriate treatment, prevention, and reduced adverse outcomes. Healthcare professionals are increasingly required to do more with less, and solid evaluation and assessment skills are vital to safe practice in the home, long-term care, and acute care settings. - Diets and Dietary Approaches to Weight Loss 4
Course release date: 8/1/2024
Course Overview
The most important consideration for a patient that is attempting to lose weight is the long-term sustainability of the diet for that specific individual. Although some of the diets discussed here might produce impressive results initially, extreme diets in any form do not usually work long-term. The most effective diets are those that people can live with day in and day out for the rest of their lives. This course will outline various approaches to diets and dietary modifications, with a focus on the impact of these approaches on weight. - Nursing Management of Sleep Disorders, 2nd Edition 6
Course release date 7/1/2024
Course Overview

They will be proficient in recognizing, diagnosing, and treating these disorders, including insomnia, sleep apnea, restless leg syndrome, and narcolepsy. Participants will also develop basic assessment skills to evaluate sleep disturbances, enabling early detection and intervention. By exploring evidence-based treatment modalities and interventions, nurses will be equipped to devise individualized treatment plans, fostering improved patient outcomes and overall quality of care.
