Description
Are you new to nutrition support? Do you just need a refresher? If so, this post-graduate course is for you. Learn how to diagnose and treat the various extracellular
and intracellular electrolyte disorders in patients on nutrition support. Develop a better understanding of arterial blood gases, acid-base balance and how the nutrition support practitioner plays an important role in the correction of these abnormalities. Case studies will be utilized to maximize the learning experience.
Learning Objectives
1. Identify common etiologies of hyponatremia and hypernatremia associated with nutrition support
2. Compare the utility of current clinical formulas in developing treatment plans for hyponatremia and hypernatremia in the nutrition support population
3. Evaluate the etiologies and treatment of intracellular electrolyte disorders in the intensive and non-intensive care setting
4. Analyze the common acid-base disorders seen in the nutrition support patient and explain appropriate treatment options
