An assessment is the foundation that can direct you to the best solution for your ostomy patients. For many clinicians, this is a natural practice... but how does one address those unique body profiles and stoma characteristics in clinical practice? What if you could sharpen your approach to that assessment and further define the right solution? In this session you will hear from a panel of experts sharing thoughts on specific case studies, a systematic approach to assessment, and share best practice options for this unique patient population.

Venous leg ulcers are debilitating, hard to heal wounds that can profoundly affect the patients’ physical, emotional and psychological wellbeing. These wounds have a high recurrence rate and are associated with pain, wound odor, and high levels of exudate and bioburden, with a large percentage becoming chronic. Current therapeutic approaches are multifaceted and focus on improved symptom management and wound healing, including compression therapy and advanced wound care.

“Of all forms of inequality, injustice in health care is the most shocking and inhumane” — Martin Luther King Jr., 1966
PAD is a circulatory deficiency that is prevalent among the aging U.S. population, with an estimated 21 million Americans predicted to have the disease by 2020 (1). If left untreated, PAD can lead to amputation. Up to 3.5 million people are currently affected with Critical Limb Ischemia (CLI) (2). Each year more than 160,000 amputations are performed in the USA a a result of (untreated) PAD (3). 54% of patients who underwent an amputation were not assesses via diagnostic angiogram (4).
The probability of major amputation depends on: who you are and where you live, your race/ethnicity/age/sex, and SES, hospital vascular rx volume. Medicare/Medicaid recipients make up the majority of those undergoing amputations. The economic burden of PAD / CLI exceeds diabetes and all cancers.
Education and health literacy are social determinants of health affecting mortality, morbidity, life expectancy, health care expenditures, health status and functional limitations. Our goal should be to avoid amputation as a first-line treatment for CLI patients. To accomplish this, we need increased PAD awareness, a multidisciplinary approach, no amputations without arterial testing and screening for at-risk patients.

CONTACT HOURS: 1
Speakers:
Alyson Keen, MSN, RN, ACNS-BC Shelley Lancaster, MSN, RN, ACNS-BC, CWOCN, CCRN-K
Nurses are commonly challenged with subtle and overt competent patient refusal of nursing care, including nursing procedures. Despite clear guidance and requirement of informed consent for medical procedures, there is lack of direction and training to guide response when met with resistance for nursing care. An integrative review of the literature from 2001-2016 identified only four articles that addressed competent patient refusal of nursing care, suggesting the need for further attention and research. A forum of nurses identified potential organizational interventions to address refusal of nursing care including: (1)development of institutional policies/guidelines that support refusal decision making, (2) implementation of a clear escalation plan, and (3) simulation training for nurses focused on negotiation skills. Review findings, recent literature, and innovation forum results will be summarized and interactively discussed with session participants.

Necrotizing Soft Tissue Infection (NSTI) is a severe infection, a potentially life threatening condition that can spread rapidly, and leads to high morbidity and mortality.
NSTI’s are characterized by necrotic skin, subcutaneous fat, fascia, and/or muscle. It is imperative to survival that diagnosis is established early so that guidelines developed for operative debridement and wound care can be implemented and morbidity and mortality minimized.

Understanding and applying evidence based care to feet is an overlooked opportunity for skilled nursing to provide exceptional care that prevents adverse outcomes such as falls and wounds from happening. Foot health is paramount to quality of life but is often overlooked or misunderstood. The care of feet allows the nurse to utilize a multitude of skills including education, therapeutic touch, restoration of dignity and ongoing trusted therapeutic relationships. This type of nursing care meets the triple aims of the IHI. It translates into cost savings from a health care usage perspective and better patient outcomes. This presentation is about seeing the opportunity and the story behind developing it out into a sound business practice.
