Angelica Dizon – Advanced Assessment Skills: Master Cardiac, Neuro & Respiratory Patients

Description:

Each shift, the pressure of time feels constant. We want to give our best to patients but have to prioritize, with the time that is available. We know how instrumental our physical assessments are. They constantly contribute to the patient’s picture – the plan of care, evaluating if the patient is improving….or declining.

We can not afford to miss important clues that are available to us, through a top-notch assessment. The American Medical Association shared this staggering statistic….8 in 10 misdiagnoses were due, in part, to problems in the patient encounter, such as errors during the physical exam or medical history taking.” How many times in the past might you have missed identifying a concern with a patient? Do you want to be sure that does not happen again?

Angelica F. Dizon, MD, MSN, MBA-HCM, BSN, RN, NP-C, will share from her extensive years in practice, working as a physician and advance practice nurse. She has collected pearls of insight that will help you, too, to finally grasp assessment strategies at an advanced level.

Whether you need to perform a rapid, focused patient assessment or a more comprehensive evaluation of the patient, Angelica will elevate your own clinical skill set. Often patient care becomes very complex with multiple conditions and diagnoses overlapping. At the end of this comprehensive training, you will be able to target your clinical assessments, challenge your critical thinking and gain confidence in the interventions that you initiate — on your very next shift!
