Assessment and Management of Emergencies in Aged Care Facilities

Event organiser

Nurses for Nurses Network

Event description

Clinical emergencies occur in all aged care settings, and the registered nurse (RN) must have the skills and knowledge to perform a comprehensive assessment of the situation, initiate emergency interventions, and lead and direct staff on acute care provision.

It is also the responsibility of the RN to recognise clinical deterioration and initiate appropriate interventions as required.

This seminar will explore common conditions that are signified by acute deterioration that, if missed, will lead to an adverse outcome for the person concerned. Impact the industry’s reputation in general, the aged care service in particular, and the professional standing of the individual registered nurse
