It’s a Trap! Avoiding Common Diagnostic Imaging Pitfalls

205-207

8:00 AM - 8:30 AM

Presentation Description: Diagnostic imaging is an important part of the assessment and diagnosis of patients presenting to the emergency department (ED). Advanced Practice Provider (APP) education regarding imaging is often limited to clinical rotations or on the job training. Inaccurate diagnostic imaging interpretation may lead to missed diagnoses resulting in further patient harm or delayed care. The APP may often face challenges due to limited access to a radiologist (rural or night-time settings) leaving the provider as the sole diagnostician. It is essential that the APP understand the complexities of diagnostic imaging and interpretation to increase competence, knowledge, and skills to improve patient outcomes.

Loyal and True: Rape in a College Town

Self-Sabotage, Self-Confidence and Imposter Syndrome

501-502-503-504

8:00 AM - 8:30 AM

Presentation Description: Imposter syndrome has been a buzz word lately, although it was first coined in 1978. Unfortunately it "disproportionately affects high-achieving people, who find it difficult to accept their accomplishments" (Chance & Imes). Many nurses suffer from this phenomenon at different stages of their practice and find it difficult to discuss their feelings with anyone. In this presentation we will discuss the signs, understand the underlying causes and discuss ways to overcome and cope with Imposter Syndrome.

Global Perspectives

103-105

8:00 AM - 8:45 AM

Global emergency nurses often care for multi-cultural patients and understand meanings of their behavior shaped by socio-cultural and history may be problematic and sometimes taken-for-granted. Patient safety is at greater risk when culture, language and health literacy is not addressed. Consequently, diagnostic errors, missed screening, harmful treatment interaction with traditional medication and non-compliance can be some of its results. This may be a safe space to conduct a hands-on drama lecture aimed to be participatory and interactive to enact possible alternative ways of seeing, thinking and acting about nurses’ culture, patient’s culture and nurse-patient culture frequently encountered in our emergency departments.

Live Stream - Guiding Emergency Room Nurses Through Sexual Assault Exams Using Telehealth

Four Seasons Ballroom

3:30 PM - 4:15 PM

This presentation will describe the issue of access to medical forensic exams (MFEs) for patients seeking care after sexual assault. Many emergency departments do not have sexual assault nurse examiners (SANEs) available at all times to conduct MFEs and prefer to transfer patients to hospitals with SANEs. Transferring patients can add to trauma for patients and delay time-sensitive treatment and evidence collection. One option to prevent transfer of patients is the use of telehealth SANE programs, an emerging innovation to address access to SANE care. The Texas Teleforensic Remote Assistance Center (Tex-TRAC) is a telehealth program that guides emergency room nurses in rural areas through MFEs by connecting them with expert SANEs (TeleSANEs) in real-time using bi-directional audio-visual technology. TeleSANEs communicate directly with the clinician and the patient using a tripartite teleconsultation model to bring trauma-informed expertise into the MFE. This presentation will describe the process for hospitals to engage with a TeleSANE program, training and mentoring of hospital emergency room clinicians in providing MFEs and lessons learned. We will engage participants in discussion about benefits and challenges associated with providing MFEs using TeleSANE guidance.

Increasing Nursing Confidence and Safety: The Conundrum of Caring for Pediatric Mental Health Patients in the Emergency Department

501-502-503-504

3:30 PM - 4:15 PM

Presentation Description: This presentation will describe simple steps taken to improve safety and confidence while caring for pediatric behavioral health patients in the Emergency Department. The program will explore bias and stigma, describe a process improvement plan implementing behavioral health strategies which include training and PPE de escalation, and a brief dive into autism spectrum and other mental health issues faced in our emergency departments. The learner will explore limited mental health resources and how this impacts length of stay and throughput and simple strategies that can be implemented aimed at decreasing length of stay and optimizing the opportunity for quicker placement.
Trauma informed care is an important aspect of this discussion and will focus not only on the patient but the care giver team. Exploring the care givers experience with the behaviorally complex patient , who often result in long lengths of stay, and how this translated to trauma transference on the care giver will validate just how hard these patients are on our Emergency department caregivers. Clinical staff pre and post confidence survey results will be presented as well as a positive impact on workforce violence data.

Live Stream - Do I Need an Interpreter for My Patient Who Uses American Sign Language?

Four Seasons Ballroom

4:30 PM - 5:15 PM

Presentation Description: We are taught in nursing school that it is best practice to use interpreters for patients who speak different languages, but so often I see nurses not following this fundamental principle with patients whose primary language is American Sign Language (ASL). Some may not consider ASL a different language; however, ASL is a unique language with its own set of grammatical principles. Therefore, simply writing English on a piece of paper is insufficient because the client may not understand the order in which the phrase was written. To avoid being perceived as unintelligent, the client may guess at an answer, which has potential to lead to adverse or sentinel events. The same is true about relying on lipreading. Clients may act like they can communicate this way, but even the best lipreaders can only understand a small portion.
Also, individuals who use this language are a part of a culture and should be treated as such. Furthermore, it is a provision of the Americans with Disabilities Act that deaf individuals be provided an interpreter.
This presentation will discuss the differing principles of ASL and best practices to treat the patients with respect and reduce chance of harm.

Findings and Implications from the ENA DEI Member Survey

103-105

4:30 PM - 5:15 PM

The purpose of this study was to obtain a broad view of the knowledge, attitudes, beliefs, and lived experiences of emergency nurses regarding implicit and explicit bias, with the aim of identifying areas of priority for educational and workforce interventions. In both our survey and focus group data, we see evidence that racism and other forms of bias are threats to nursing relationships and to safe patient care. In this presentation, we will invite all ENs and institutions to engage in purposeful learning about the effects of individual and structural bias on patients and colleagues. We will describe and discuss an approach that favors structural analysis, intervention, and accountability.

3. Explore the implications of this relationship for emergency nursing practice

During this presentation, the participant will explore the concepts of emotional intelligence (EI) and compassion fatigue (CF) and how they relate to each other in nurses working in emergency settings. We will use experiential methods, such as role-play, to ensure a deeper understanding of both EI and CF. The participant will learn about the research study that revealed a relationship between these two concepts among emergency nurses and what this means for the occurrence of CF. We will also have a group discussion concerning the implications of this research on current and future emergency nursing practice.

What's New with Medication Reconciliation in 2022?

201-203

4:30 PM - 5:15 PM

Presentation Description: Depending on where you are in your career the words medication reconciliation may evoke some strong feelings. But they don’t have to. Medication reconciliation has been a complex multi-pronged process fraught with misunderstanding since it was first introduced in 2005. Since then, there has been some back pedaling and pivoting resulting in changes to the rules, process, even the name. With ever increasing patient volumes and the complexity of patients seen in the emergency department (ED) performing medication reconciliation seems difficult at best. Novice to expert bedside nurses as well as department leaders and educators will acquire new information in this interactive audience participation session. Discover the changes made to the ENA position statement, best practices for obtaining a medication history, the nurses’ role in overall medication management, who really does the reconciliation, and how “accurately and completely…” has evolved to “good faith effort.”

The management of a chest drainage system (CDS) during a trauma resuscitation can be stressful for the emergency nurse. In life-threatening traumatic situations, understanding when a chest tube will be needed, setting up a CDS quickly, understanding how it works, troubleshooting common problems, and safely transporting a patient with CDS in place can make a difference in the patient’s outcome. This lecture will cover common injuries requiring the insertion of a chest tube, wet and dry CDS, autotransfusions, trouble-shooting and more to help the emergency nurse feel more confident when managing CDS devices.

Live Stream - Nasal Fentanyl

Four Seasons Ballroom

5:30 PM - 6:00 PM

Presentation Description: In an ER a broken arm can have lower acuity leaving the patient in the lobby and in pain. As nurses we hate leaving a pediatric patient in pain but understand the need to focus on acuity and patient wellbeing has us struggling with that dichotomy. Nasal fentanyl has the potential to provide almost immediate pain relief and reducing the pain and anxiety for pediatric patients. Facilitating pain relief in a timely fashion improves pain care, outcomes and reduces the emotional trauma to both patients, family and staff.
