At the completion of this course, the nurse will be better prepared to demonstrate clinical knowledge on a medical-surgical board-certification examination.
Nursing Learning Outcome:
Following completion of this activity, the nurse will be able to describe common medical surgical pathophysiology and treatments as evidenced by self-reported knowledge gained on the post-activity evaluation tool.
