Advanced Assessment Video Course
About the session:
Assessment is one of the most vital parts of patient care in all settings. It is practiced with almost every patient interaction and when interventions are performed. Astute assessment skills can impact patient outcomes through recognition of abnormalities and prompt reporting to practitioners. This seminar is designed for all medical professionals wanting to improve their assessment skills. The anatomy and physiology of all systems is reviewed to provide insight into the physiological basis for normal and abnormal assessment findings. The assessment parameters for various pathological disease states are reviewed to provide the health care professional with the knowledge to not only detect abnormalities but to also critically think and analyze the basis for signs and symptoms. Laboratory abnormalities and pharmacologic interventions are incorporated with the pathologic states. Case studies are used to enhance the assimilation of knowledge. A review of the following is incorporated into this interactive seminar:
- Pain assessment
- Nutritional considerations
- Integumentary and lymphatic systems
- Musculoskeletal system
- Cardiovascular system
- Pulmonary system
- Abdominal assessment
- Gastrointestinal system
- Genitourinary system
- Neurological system
Objectives:
- State the principles of general assessment techniques, pain assessment, and nutritional considerations in health and disease states.
- Relate the assessment and monitoring parameters when dealing with disorders of the integumentary, lymphatic, and musculoskeletal systems.
- Verbalize the ability to complete a thorough cardiovascular assessment and correlate assessment parameters with various disorders.
- State the ability to distinguish between various pulmonary disorders based on assessment findings and clinical manifestations.
- Describe the assessment findings and clinical manifestations which correlate with common abdominal and genitourinary tract disorders.
- Verbalize the ability to conduct a complete neurological assessment and correlate abnormal findings with specific disease states.

12-Lead ECG Interpretation Practice
Skill to practice: Conduction defects
ECG #220115
Clinical scenario
This is a 54 year-old male with a history of hypertension and chronic bronchitis. He presents to the ED with complaints of shortness of breath. An ECG was completed on presentation to the ED.
In the 12-lead ECG seminar, you learned one of the keys to interpretation is to be systematic in your evaluation. Go through the following steps for this tracing and then check your answers. (It is suggested you print off the ECG and the Interpretation questions in order to facilitate your interpretation.)

The Pearls of Nursing School Success Online Video Course
About this Course:
A student’s journey through nursing school is often filled with extensive hours of classroom preparation, studying, writing care plans, and preparing for clinical experiences.
This course is designed to assist the new nursing school student tackle the multiple obstacles facing them. Many of these include inappropriate time management skills, failure to organize and lack of critical thinking skills. Today’s nursing school students typically experience a multitude of stressors which can further hinder their success. Nursing school success is accomplished by finding, and maintaining, a delicate balance of all of these stressors.
When a student purchases this course, there will be a PDF link for them to download the handout.
Objectives:
- Identify pitfalls to successful time and stress management.
- Identify the various types of learning strategies by completing a learning inventory.
- Identify current study preparation habits and isolate barriers to successful studying.
- Define critical thinking and adapt it to the nursing process.
- Develop an understanding of Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs.
- Understand the basic components of test question construction.
- Identify the key strategies of successful test taking.
- Develop a positive self-esteem to improve nursing school success.

12 Lead ECG Online Video Course
This course enables the bedside professional to perform an interpretation of a 12-lead ECG and apply it to the clinical setting. Recognition of normal waves and a “quick and dirty” way to determine axis is presented. Bundle branch block patterns and hemiblocks are reviewed using 12-lead tracings. Recognition of ischemia, injury and infarction is accomplished using a pathophysiologic approach to enhance understanding of the mechanism of the condition and then correlate it to the changes seen on the 12-lead. Chamber hypertrophy, electrolyte imbalances, and drug effects are also reviewed using patient assessment parameters and changes seen in the electrical system of the heart.
A review of the following is incorporated into this online video course:
- Pain assessment
- Nutritional considerations
- Integumentary and lymphatic systems
- Musculoskeletal system
- Cardiovascular system
- Pulmonary system
- Abdominal assessment
- Gastrointestinal system
- Genitourinary system
- Neurological system
Objectives:
- Verbalize the ability to look at a 12-lead ECG and recognize normal waves and conduction.
- Identify intraventricular conduction delays which may be present on the 12-lead ECG.
- Describe the ECG changes and patterns seen in myocardial ischemia and infarction.
- Verbalize the ability to recognize ECG changes associated with chamber hypertrophy, electrolyte imbalances, and medications and other medical conditions.
Once purchased, you get unlimited access to all the training videos in the course for 3 months.
