Everyday Medical Calculations for Veterinary Nurses

Everyday Medical Calculations for Veterinary Nurses
Everyday Medical Calculations for Veterinary Nurses

When most Veterinary Nurses decide to enter the profession they probably don’t think they will be doing much maths, but it is an important skill we use as nurses on a daily basis. Vets will often rely on the nurses to calculate drug volumes to give to a patient, so it is imperative this is done correctly. This webinar will look at calculating drug dose rates including different units of measure and changing one unit to another. We will also look at how to calculate a CRI and concentration of the drugs added to the IV bag. There will be lots of examples and workings to help you along the way.

Toxicology; an overview of three common household toxins (for Nurses)

Identification and treatment of toxin exposure should occur as soon as possible to increase survival rates. This webinar will provide an in-depth look at the pathophysiology, clinical symptoms and nursing techniques required for three common household toxins to include; metaldehyde (snail/slug bait), rodenticides (rat bait) and the lily plant. With case studies and multiple choice questions, this webinar will prepare the attendee with the skill set to treat patients with toxin exposure, effectively. A comprehensive consideration of bodily systems and disease processes such as the coagulation cascade, disseminated intravascular coagulation and acute renal failure, will assist the attendee in understanding these three toxins and their treatment.
