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. -

The effects of deployment to military combat on the individual and the family system are wide-reaching and can be severe.

Research suggests the most common traumatic events experienced during active duty are witnessing someone badly injured or killed or unexpectedly seeing a dead body. These exposures can have a serious impact on veteran mental health, with higher rates of PTSD, depression, suicide, and intermittent explosive disorders than the general public. These effects extend to the family, with increased risks for domestic violence, divorce, and child abuse. Including screening items to identify veterans and their families and improve the care provided.

Health disparities arise from various factors, and researchers have pinpointed unconscious biases that shape clinicians' perceptions, influencing decisions and exacerbating health inequalities. Implicit biases, usually negative and unintentional, result in disparities in patient–provider interactions, treatment choices, and overall healthcare access. The implementation of implicit bias training aims to underscore for healthcare providers a modifiable risk factor linked to the causation of health disparities.
