- Clinical Challenges and Psychopharmacology for Substance Use Disorder for APRNs 8 8Course release date: 11/15/2021
About the Course:
This course is designed for both registered nurses and advanced practice nurses. Because of medical and psychiatric comorbidities, patients diagnosed with psychiatric disorders have complex prescription medication regimens. Since registered nurses are frontline providers, they are frequently responsible for educating patients about their medications. For advanced practice nurses, this course is intended to support and enhance their knowledge of diagnosing psychiatric disorders and to increase their confidence for prescribing psychotropic medications to adult patients. - Ethical and Legal Issues in Nursing Practice 7Course release date: 9/2/2022
About the Course
Nursing practice is guided by three major pillars: ethical concepts, professional standards, and laws/regulation to ensure safe and professional nursing practice. A nurse must know and understand all three of these guiding pillars. A nurse will be held to these guiding pillars and lack of knowledge or understanding will not be an excuse if something happens to a patient. This course will first describe ethical concepts that influence nursing practice, then examine professional standards, most of which are based on specific ethical concepts. Finally, laws and regulations will be discussed. By the end of the course the nurse will have a better understanding of the three pillars that guide nursing practice. - Hypertension Management: Evidence-Based Guidelines 4 4Course release date: 1/6/2022
About the Course
This program is intended to provide a hypertension treatment overview. Safe and effective prescribing decisions must be guided by an in-depth understanding of each agent: how it works, how to dose it, anticipated adverse events, drug interactions, etc. When combination drugs are included, there may be as many as 200 different pharmacological options (both individual agents as well as combination products) that are approved by FDA for the treatment of hypertension. As a result, this educational program is designed only to highlight the major categories of therapeutics by identifying key products and characterizing them as a class. To provide perspective, an effort was made to provide highlights of clinically meaningful outcomes studies for the various drug classes. - Legal Issues for Nursing Documentation, 4th Edition 6Course release date: 1/6/2022
About the Course

A well-documented patient record is one method to mitigate these risks. In addition to discussing the legal aspects of nursing documentation, this course will outline proper documentation techniques to avoid legal entanglement, including the use of consent forms in patient care and the need for incident reports to document adverse events. - Stroke Management in the Acute Care Setting 5Course release date: 5/3/2022
