Asbestos Related Disease

Patients with asbestos related diseases frequently require procedures done in the Radiology and Imaging setting. Expert knowledge is needed by radiology and imaging nurses to assist in treating these patients. This educational article provides information regarding the origin and progression of these diseases. Many radiology and imaging nurses lack this in depth information regarding asbestos related diseases.

The desired outcome is to improve the quality of care to radiology and imaging patients who have or may have asbestos related diseases.

Adult Cancer Pain: An Evidence-Based Update

Cancer is the leading cause of death, claiming 8 million lives in 2012 worldwide; with 14 million new cases diagnosed annually. Research supports the cancer pain can be prevented and successfully alleviated in 90% of cases. However, studies show a third of survivors, half of patient’s actively being treated, and 80% at the end of life endure cancer pain. Evidence based approaches to cancer pain management are underutilized. Radiology nurses are involved in the care of these patients along their continuum of cancer management. Many radiology nurses would benefit from increased knowledge in this area.

Presented on March 6, 2017 - 8:00 -9:00
By Karen Green, MHA, RN, BSN, CRN

“Nurses possess a vast amount of knowledge, fueled by years of education and experience, in a variety of settings. But, what is our reason to be? Many nurses state they came into nursing because they ‘care about people’ and have a true ‘desire to help’. A large percentage of us are entering a new phase of life and nursing... caring for our families in a way very different from caring for our children. Parents and spouses who develop a chronic, debilitating illness require our love, understanding and care now more than ever.” This session will cover aspects such as growing into the nurse we have become, recognizing and improving our coping skills, and understanding the importance of caring for ourselves’.

Karen Green has been active in ARIN for the past 14 years serving in a variety of positions. She currently serves as Chairperson for the Capnography Task Force focused on educating nurses on the benefit and use of Capnography.

Transgender 101: Fundamentals for Clinicians

GS17 Transgender 101: Fundamentals for Clinicians
Wednesday,, March 8, 9:00am-10:00am
Paula Neira, MSN, JD, RN, CEN

In the 21st century, clinicians must provide care to an increasingly diverse patient population. Due to a lack of education most clinicians cannot provide culturally competent care to this population. Historically, radiology personnel have had little training or exposure to this population. This presentation provides clinicians with an overview of the transgender population, their health concerns, and the negative impact discrimination has had on healthcare for this group. The presentation provides clinicians with fundamental information to better communicate respectfully with transgender patients and provides tools to better understand and support transgender colleagues or family members. The presentation provides information about respectful language, term definitions, pronoun usage, and appropriate clinical questioning. Gender theory is briefly reviewed, differences
between sex, gender identity, and gender expression will be discussed and the presenter will share ways to improve electronic medical record systems and facility engineering.
Paula M. Neira is a certified emergency nurse with over 22 years of varied nursing experience including the VA, a rural, critical-access hospital, and urban, academic trauma centers. For 8 years, she has been nurse educator in emergency medicine at Johns Hopkins Hospital. In January 2016, she was appointed as co-chair of Johns Hopkins Transgender Medicine. Executive Task Force. Beyond nursing, she graduated with distinction from United States Naval Academy and served as a naval officer. She belongs to the Maryland bar as a lawyer and veteran advocate, she assisted the efforts to repeal Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell. A leading expert on transgender military service, she was key in 2016 military policy ending the ban on  transgender
military personnel. With military, legal, and nursing experience – as well as personal experience
as a patient – she is uniquely suited to speak on the transgender patient experience.

Joanna Po Lecture Series: Totally Rad Introductory Competencies

Orientation checklists are traditionally lengthy and often do not contain measurable statements or sufficient verification methods to validate an employee’s competence. Additionally, checklists focus on technical skills while neglecting other areas of competency, such as critical thinking and interpersonal interactions. A large academic medical facility wanted documentation of orientation competencies to be meaningful not just “check the box.” The past three years, master’s prepared nurses specializing in education, led a community of learning (COL) with staff nurses from multiple practice settings to develop a process to validate orientation competencies. Following a literature review, the COL identified a list of core competency categories and statements which captured the essence of the role of the frontline nurse, and would be measurable. The COL identified multiple verification methods appropriate to measure various domains of competency. The core competency categories and statements, along with verification methods were sent out via the central nursing staff development committee for implementation. Radiology nursing further developed this framework into competencies that address needs specific to nurses in the imaging environment. This new process provides structure and consistency for introductory competencies, recognizes core knowledge common to all radiology nurses, and meaningfully validates competence in a document that is significantly more concise.

Clinical Management of Contrast Reactions

THERE ARE NO CREDITS AVAIABLE WITH THIS COURSE

Adverse reaction to iodine-based and gadolinium-based contrast agents are idiosyncratic events in the imaging environment. Prompt recognition with a coordinated treatment response is essential to achieving optimal patient outcomes. This lecture will review the pathophysiology of contrast reactions, differentiating between allergic reactions and exaggerated physiologic reactions. Management strategies that are in line with the 2015 American College of Radiology recommendations will be presented. This lecture will also present strategies for developing protocols and implementing the best practice.

The field of Interventional Oncology is an emerging discipline that offers the patient with a cancer diagnosis, in particular those diagnosed with HCC, an option when one wasn’t previously available. Interventional Oncology offers therapeutic interventions such as TACE, DEB TACE, radioembolization, as well radiofequency ablation, microwave ablation, and cryoembolization. In addition, an extremely important part of the Interventional oncology discipline is the supportive aspect and procedures that are part of the overall process. The presentation will touch on the current treatments options available through Interventional Oncology, both therapeutic and supportive, as well as trends in the discipline. In addition, the role of the Radiology nurse in assessment, planning, education, and treatment will be addressed
