Arterial Blood Gas Interpretation

Description

6.0 Contact Hours

This module includes the recognition and analysis of both arterial and venous blood gases. As well, a clinical understanding of metabolic acidosis-alkalosis and respiratory acidosis-alkalosis including exercises in differentiation. It also includes a case scenario that puts into practice the learner's understanding of the material.

This course has the goal of facilitating knowledge and confidence in the care of the patient requiring blood gas analysis. Blood Gas Analysis-All Ages is also used as a great orientation tool for nurses wishing to pursue an understanding of blood gas analysis.

Target Audience:
This module is designed for nurses who are currently working with any patient who may require analysis of blood gas results. It can also be used as an orientation tool for nurses new to this responsibility.

Content Design:
A critical component of the instructional design and curriculum strategy is the ability to offer clinical knowledge that is supported by evidence and best practice. Real life case scenarios will promote the development of critical thinking skills. The learning activities offer interactive illustrations, images and animations in an effort to keep you motivated and to facilitate comprehension of the material. Along with chapter questions, these elements make your learning experience truly enjoyable.
