CONTINUING EDUCATION

Registered attendees can earn up to 19.75 contact hours at the 2011 ENA Annual Conference through attendance at keynote and closing addresses, general and concurrent sessions, fast track sessions and poster sessions. Additional contact hours can be obtained by attending presessions and the Anita Dorr Memorial Lecture and Luncheon. The number of contact hours earned is shown below each course title. Contact hour totals are based on the 60-minute credit hour as outlined in ENA’s 2011 Continuing Nursing Education Planning Guide.

ACCREDITATION

The Emergency Nurses Association is accredited as a provider of continuing nursing education by the American Nurses Credentialing Center’s Commission on Accreditation.

ENA’s standards meet most of the required criteria for most State Boards of Nursing. CA Statement (per CA Regulations 1459.1). ENA is approved by the California Board of Registered Nursing, Provider Number CEP 2322 (California Continuing Education Provider #CEP2322)

Note to attendees residing in Florida and Washington, D.C.: The system used to track continuing education in Washington, D.C., and the state of Florida will not accept contact hours for offerings that are less than 50 minutes (.84 contact hours).

CEN®, CFRN® AND CTRN® RENEWAL OPTION

Based on BCEN’s criteria for categorization of continuing education offerings that may be applied toward CEN®, CFRN® and CTRN® renewal, ENA Annual Conference courses have been categorized in two categories. Contact hours are categorized on your continuing education certi� cate.

CPEN DESIGNATION

On the attendee continuing education certi� cate, contact hours will be designated into the categories of Clinical and Other hours. Clinical being any nursing education that is directly related to patient care and Other is nursing education not directly related to patient care, such as nurse management training, � nance training, and team building. Currently certi� cates designate a certain number of Clinical contact hours and a certain number of Other, which will remain on the certi� cate.

This designation is not additional contact hours; it is intended to assist Nurses with CPEN recerti� cation by clearly de� ning that pediatrics education was included in the activity. The pediatrics designation will occur if there

is clear pediatric content with measurable objective(s) contained within the activity module and must be a minimum of 30 minutes to receive pediatric designation. Please refer to BCEN website for detailed recerti� cation requirements and applicability.

ADVANCED PRACTICE SESSIONS ADV PRAC

ENA has created a focus area speci� cally aimed at providing advanced practice nurses and more experienced emergency nurses with progressive clinical information and diagnostic education. The Advanced Practice category does not require an additional fee, special registration or advanced educational degrees for attendance.

FAST TRACK SESSIONS FTThese 30-minute sessions provide the attendee the opportunity to hear the latest, need to know, cutting-edge information in a factual, rapid-paced presentation. These sessions are marked for ease of identi� cation.

ADVANCING PRACTICE THROUGH RESEARCH: POSTER SESSIONS

Explore emergency nursing research and the application of research to your clinical practice by viewing the research and evidence-based practice poster presentations. This is an excellent opportunity to review current studies on relevant emergency nursing topics. The researchers will be present to discuss their studies at speci� ed times as listed in the 2011 ENA Annual Conference Program. Participation in viewing the poster sessions provides up to 6.0 contact hours; this number is dependent on the number of posters accepted.

LEARNING LAB

The Learning Lab will not be available for the 2011 ENA Annual Conference. We are in the process of reviewing and restructuring it in order to provide a more enhanced resource for you in the future.

Managing the Non-adherent Patient in the Emergency Department0.5 contact hour FT CLIN

Lisa A. Wolf, PhD, RN, CEN

Few things are more frustrating than treating the patient who is non-adherent with their medication and/or treatment regimen. These patients tend to present with acute exacerbations of their chronic conditions, which may be perceived as avoidable. Causes of non-adherence include lack of education and/or access to care and socially driven misconceptions about treatment. This course will help the nurse identify issues with medication and therapeutic noncompliance and provide suggestions for intervention and management.

Life Threatening Pediatric Rashes0.5 contact hour FT PEDS

Michelle K. Brenholdt, BSN, RN, CEN, CPEN

Pediatric triage can be a challenge even for the most seasoned emergency nurse. Indications for serious illness in a pediatric patient can often be subtle. Case studies presenting challenging pediatric triage rash scenarios that can indicate potential for life threatening conditions will be presented in a unique and fun interactive presentation which allows the audience members to use their cell phones, smart phones, PDA’s or laptops to “vote” on the correct rash identi� cation or traige acuity for each case scenario. Real time results of the audience “decisions” will be displayed and discussed. This fun and interactive format mirrors the quick decision making that a triage nurse must possess to be successful.

A Pain-free Approach to Needlesticks? The Kids Love It!0.5 contact hour FT PEDS

Cam Brandt, MS, RN, CEN, CPEN, CPN

Needlestick pain is a stressor for pediatric patients, their parents and emergency nurses caring for them.

“Not in my Emergency Department” – Rapid Assessment of the Obstetrical Patient 0.5 contact hour FT CLIN

Ray N. Bennett, BSN, RN, CEN, NREMT-P

Medical Clearance of the Involuntary Behavioral Health Patient0.5 contact hour FT CLIN

Kay-Ella Bleecher, MSN, APN, CEN, CRNP, PHRN

Involuntary psychiatric patients presented to the emergency department require quick care and evaluation to assure that they are medically cleared for involuntary commitment. This session will discuss medical clearance and documentation needed to effectively provide the necessary care for behavioral health patients.

Management of the Acute Pit Viper Snakebite0.5 contact hour FT CLIN

Joe Pittman, RN, CSPI

The vast majority of snakebites are the result of coming in contact with a pit viper, and the management of the acute bite victim provides a unique challenge. Drawing on over 20 years of specialty in snakebites, this presentation breaks down these challenges making snakebites as simple as treating any other emergency department patient.

Evidence-based treatment guidelines will be presented to assist in analyzing clinical data and planning appropriate care for each injury. Case studies will also be presented.

A Simpli� ed Approach to Cardiac Dysrhythmias1.25 contact hours ADV CLIN

William D. Hampton, DO, MM, BA, ASLearn a six-step approach to determining the underlying cause of cardiac dysrhythmia. Less emphasis is placed on correctly naming the dysrhythmia, and more emphasis is placed on correctly assigning it to a treatment category. This heavily visual-based lecture is appropriate for the seasoned clinician looking for a new approach to a familiar topic or for the new practitioner wanting to improve their diagnostic skills and con� dence in caring for the patient with a cardiac conduction problem.

Triage of Neurological Changes – Is This Really an Emergency?1.25 contact hours CLIN

Tracey Anderson, MSN, CNRN, ACNP-BC, FNP-BC

Neurological changes can be challenging to assess and even more challenging to triage. What presentations indicate an emergent issue, and how do you appropriately triage these patients for timely interventions? Learn some classic � ndings that can help you know what’s really an emergency and what’s not. With the idea that time lost is brain lost, it’s important to recognize critical � ndings that need immediate attention. Learn key clinical signs and questions that will help you get to the diagnosis quickly.

Understanding the Unique Issues of Treating the Homeless Patient1.25 contact hours CLIN

Cynthia Blank-Reid, MSN, RN, CEN

Homelessness affects every emergency department in the United States. Nurses face unique issues when providing care to emergency department patients, but the factor of homelessness creates even more challenges. This lecture

will focus on the common medical and surgical conditions that challenge the emergency nurse when caring for the homeless. By utilizing case studies, participants will see how various institutions and cities have dealt with this specialized patient population.

Tiptoeing Through the Mine� eld of Abdominal Pain1.25 contact hours CLIN

Jeff A. Solheim, MSN, RN-BC, CEN, CFRN, FAEN

Where is the pain of appendicitis normally referred to? What is the signi� cance of yellow colored emesis versus emesis containing a mixture of bile and undigested food? While abdominal complaints account for 5 to 10 percent of all emergency department visits, 40 percent of patients with these complaints are never de� nitively diagnosed because of the challenging nature of abdominal pain. This session will review the types of abdominal pain, the symptoms that accompany that pain and various pathologies associated with abdominal complaints.

Clear and Present Danger: The Distracted Driver1.25 contact hours Q & S

Jack Rodgers, BSN, RN, NREMT-P

Technology that was designed to make our lives easier is now being blamed for killing thousands of Americans every year. Texting behind the wheel has been identi� ed as the biggest new threat facing drivers of all ages. This multimedia presentation will dramatically demonstrate how dangerous distracted driving can be. Other distractions will also be discussed as we identify these dangerous behaviors and look at new ways of curbing an unnecessary and preventable loss of life.

According to the World Health Organization (WHO), 1.5 million individuals die annually as a consequence of violence. The WHO contends that violence is preventable and that health care providers and community leaders must take an active stance to reduce the incidence. Ending the cycle of violence is an interdisciplinary effort and one that nurses must be proactive towards when confronting. Dayton, Ohio, has developed a community team model to address the issue, and it is currently being considered for implementation by many other cities across the nation. This course will examine the issue and give insight into proposals to address the issue.

Managing the Chronically Ill Psychiatric Patient: Secrets of the Psych Nurse1.25 contact hours CLIN

Sara Barr Gilbert, MACP, RN, CEN

Due to the lack of inpatient care and resources, patients with chronic psychiatric illnesses are being cared for in emergency departments for longer periods of time. Management of this vulnerable population presents unique challenges for staff. Discussion will focus on strategies commonly used by inpatient psychiatric nurses (e.g., limit-setting and de-escalation) that can be implemented in the emergency department. Medication management, the appropriate use of restraints and staff safety will also be addressed.

Body Modi� cation and Emergency Care: Will I Need a Toolkit for This One?1.25 contact hours CLIN

Vanessa R. Alvarado-Greer, MSN, RN, ACNP, FNP

Body modi� cation used to be at the far end of the cosmetic continuum. It has now become common place from mild piercing, tattooing, burning, tunneling, scarring and altering. With an increased number of procedures comes an increased risk of injury. These procedures are poorly monitored by health departments and are different from state to state. Emergency care of these patients requires knowledge of hardware including when and how to remove it.

Understanding Nontuberculosis Mycobacterial Lung Disease: A Growing Health Risk1.25 contact hours CLIN

Cynthia Blank-Reid, MSN, RN, CEN

Nontuberculous mycobacterial (NTM) lung disease has affected patients for years, many of whom have been tuberculosis (TB) patients. NTM is now 10 times more prevalent than TB in the United States. Patients with NTM frequently present to emergency departments with the signs and symptoms of TB along with respiratory compromise which can be fatal. Once TB is ruled out, most health care providers fail to recognize that these patients are still at high risk for respiratory distress. Treatment can take years. By using case studies, participants will learn how to identify and care for this rapidly expanding patient population.

The Trouble With Transfusion1.25 contact hours CLIN

Michael A. Frakes, MS, APRN, EMT-P, CEN, CFRN, CCRN

Transfusion is fairly common in the emergency department, and it seems as though patients should bene� t from making their hemoglobin closer to normal. This intuition, however, may not be well supported by science. After reviewing the basics of hematology, a comparison of the bene� ts and risks of transfusion, including a discussion of the outcome evidence for patients who receive blood products and a survey of current clinical practice guidelines, we will determine if the transfusion bene� ts the patient. The effects of massive transfusion, planned component transfusion and whole blood resuscitation will also be discussed.

Mullins’ varied and unlikely experiences on the track, in front of the camera, and in the boardroom have given her the ability to view challenge from a unique place. She shows audiences how the power of possibility as a � rst response in any situation ensures that businesses innovate and accommodate change.
