Define cultural competency.
Describe the role of cultural competency in healthcare.
An Overview of Trial of Labor After Cesarean Section
This course provides an overview about the safety of patients undergoing a trial of labor after cesarean (TOLAC) to attempt a vaginal birth after cesarean delivery (VBAC). Research evidence has influenced where VBACs are performed, which women are eligible and how the practice is conducted, including the safe use of induction/augmentation medications. The safety of VBAC for mother and newborn always remains the primary underlying principle that guides care.
Identify three risk factors and benefits associated with TOLAC and recommendations for safe TOLAC.
Recall essential components of nursing education, informed consent, safe medication administration, and fetal assessment related to TOLAC.
Care Teams: Depression and Anxiety
The goal of this course is to provide nurses and prescribing providers (physicians) in all healthcare settings with best practices to improve their care team approach to patients with depression and anxiety.
Recall care team best practices, including collaboration, communication, and roles.
Identify how care team best practices can improve outcomes for patients with depression and anxiety.
Social Determinants of Health: Healthcare Access and Quality
Nearly 10% of U.S. population does not have health insurance (U.S. Department of Health and Human Services Office of Disease Prevention and Health Promotion [ODPHP], n.d.a). Healthy People 2030 is a national population and public health initiative endorsed by top U.S. government health agencies, setting health goals for the U.S. healthcare system to improve the overall wellbeing of patients in their communities. This course provides an in-depth and interactive analysis of one of the five Healthy People 2030’s domains of social determinants of health (SDOH), healthcare access and quality, and its impact on patient outcomes.
Review what SDOH are and how they impact both healthcare access and quality of care.
Identify barriers to healthcare access and care quality, how these barriers negatively impact patient outcomes, and some strategic interventions to improve these patient outcomes.
Care of Sexual and Gender Diverse Populations
All healthcare staff must be aware of the challenges that people in minority groups may experience. This includes knowing the effects of those challenges on how people seek and receive healthcare services. This course discusses sexual and gender minorities and their healthcare experiences.
Identify various terms used to describe sexual and gender minority populations.
Describe current health trends related to the sexual and gender minority population.
Choose best practices for improving the healthcare experience for sexual and gender minority populations.
Neonatal Respiratory Emergencies
Neonatal emergencies are frightening and challenging to almost all acute care providers. Recognizing the presentation of common neonatal respiratory emergencies is essential to acute care providers. This issue will focus on the neonate and provide a succinct review of respiratory emergencies pertinent to clinical practice and board preparation/review.
The goal of this course is to present healthcare providers in the acute care setting with a succinct review of neonatal respiratory emergencies.
Know the anatomy and pathophysiology relevant to emergency management of neonatal respiratory emergencies.
Know the indications and contraindications for acute management options for neonatal respiratory emergencies.
Plan the key steps and know the potential pitfalls in the acute management of neonatal respiratory emergencies.
Recognize the complications associated with the acute management of neonatal respiratory emergencies.
Ambulatory Preceptor: Integrity, Ethics, and Legal Considerations
The world of legalities, red tape, and ethics can be a daunting one. We have all heard about the importance of confidentiality and trust in healthcare. How do these issues apply to preceptorships? This educational activity addresses integrity in preceptorships and gives you information you can share with preceptees to enhance professional and personal character, confidence, and wisdom in nursing practice. It also reviews important ethical and legal considerations that should be reviewed and incorporated into a preceptorship. The goal of this course is to provide nurses and nurse preceptors in ambulatory care settings with information about integrity, ethical conduct, and legal considerations in nursing practice and preceptorships.
Identify core competencies of preceptors, ethical principles, and potential boundaries to ethical practice in preceptoring others.
Recall at least three legal considerations important for preceptorships in ambulatory care settings.
Social Determinants of Maternal-Fetal Health
The goal of this course is to educate nurses and physicians about key social determinants of health (SDOH) and health disparities affecting maternal and fetal outcomes.
Identify at least four social determinants/disparities of health impacting maternal-fetal health outcomes.
Describe at least two clinical and/or social support interventions to be used in clinical practice to decrease bias regarding social determinants and improve maternal-fetal health outcomes.
Shoulder Dystocia: Teamwork and Training
This content is intended for all members of the obstetric team and is based on the educational theory that team performance is enhanced when all members of the team have the same understanding of the task and procedure to be performed.
Enhance situational awareness for patients at increased risks for shoulder dystocia (SD). Design a team-based SD simulation drill. Improve obstetrical team performance through enhanced cooperation in deliveries complicated by SD. Review methods to enhance communications with teams.
Culture and Mental Health
Culture affects how individuals talk about and recognize their mental health symptoms. It also affects how providers conceptualize and work with individuals with diverse backgrounds. It is important to recognize how culture influences the ways individuals and providers approach mental health. Healthcare providers should be encouraged to use interventions and strategies that assist in delivering culturally competent care.
This course will examine the reasons for healthcare disparities among culturally diverse individuals, how both the cultural backgrounds of patients and their providers can impact patients’ mental health outcomes, and what kinds of actions providers can take to provide more effective care to patients of diverse cultures.
Distinguish between some of the different assumptions and values that mental health providers and individuals hold, which influence their approaches to mental health. Explain why patients of diverse cultures with mental health needs are encountering disparities. Select assessment and intervention strategies that promote culturally competent care.
