Women and Cardiovascular Disease, 4th Edition - 17 Contact Hours
Tracking # 20-811736
Course overview
As nurses, we are in the position to inform women of all ages about the risks of cardiovascular disease (CVD), treatment options, and prevention strategies. This course helps nurses fill the gap in knowledge concerning CVD in women to ensure that clinical practice and patient education programs are both current and evidence-based. Education is the foundation for empowering women through self-care practices to reduce or eliminate the risk of developing CVD and to control existing disease. Nurses, among other healthcare providers, have increased contact with women, thus putting them in the best position to educate women on CVD. This course focuses on the current state of evidence related to CVD epidemiology, pathophysiology, treatment, and prevention in women to help bridge the knowledge gap among practicing nurses.
