Pulmonary Interventions: What Works Best?

Do you know how to prevent and treat respiratory disorders?

While assessing your patient, you notice some crackling sounds at the end of inspiration. You decide that he needs some pulmonary hygiene. Do you know that coughing in this patient could be harmful, instead of helpful?

Choosing the right pulmonary intervention for your patient could mean the difference between an uneventful recovery and the development of complications.

Pulmonary Interventions: What Works Best? answers these questions:

When does coughing help rather than hinder the patient?
Which interventions work best in all pulmonary patients?
When should you implement incentive spirometry?
How will you know if your interventions are effective?

Pulmonary Interventions: What Works Best? teaches you how to implement the best interventions for your pulmonary patient. This course is taught by David W. Woodruff, MSN, RN, CNS, CCRN, a nationally-known nursing expert and teacher.

Pulmonary Interventions: What Works Best? includes:

Evaluation of pulmonary interventions

How to choose interventions based on assessment findings

60-minute audio CD
