Helping Patients and their Families Cope with COVID-19 and its Lasting Effects - 1 Contact Hour

Course overview

We are told by some that the pandemic is abating. Cases are leveling out. We can enter our "new normal" at varying rates of speed. But what does this mean? The issue becomes even more confusing when we hear about the "second wave"of cases. Probably the biggest concern is that there are still so many unknowns. What does "new normal" look like? As with the pandemic itself, nurses will be called on to help others deal with the aftermath of the COVID-19 pandemic. In this session, we will examine some of the possible long-term effects of this global health problem and explore potential ways nurses can help patients and their families deal with life after the pandemic.
