It is essential that healthcare professionals recognize who is at risk, practice early identification and implement current management strategies for the patient with delirium. At least 20% of the 12.5 million patients over age 65 hospitalized each year experience complications because of delirium.

The day includes a one-hour lunch (on your own), as well as a morning and afternoon break of 15 minutes each. Recognize signs of ischemia and non-ST-elevation myocardial infarction (NSTEMI) on the 12-Lead ECG.Recognize ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) on the 12-Lead ECG.Identify right and left bundle branch block.Demonstrate the ability to calculate the QRS axis on selected ECGs.Additional content includes an easy way to determine the QRS axis and its clinical implications recognition of right and left bundle branch blocks and ECG criteria for recognizing myocardial ischemia, injury and infarction. Content includes anatomy of a 12-Lead ECG, how leads record electrical activity traveling through the heart, normal waveforms and intervals and how each lead should look on a normal ECG. Objects drawn in perspective grow smaller as they recede into the horizon.This class is an introduction to 12-Lead ECG interpretation for acute and critical care nurses, advanced practice nurses and anyone who needs to be able to interpret an ECG in his or her clinical practice. Perspectives are used by architects and for industrial pictorials of plan layouts, machinery, and other subjects where realism is required. Artists use one-point perspective, two-point (shown here), and three point to create visual depth. Perspective is the most realistic form of drawing. They are found on prints and are easy to visualize, so let’s look at their differences. As a group, they are called “pictorial drawings”. Since most engineering and architectural prints utilize some form of orthographic projection (multi-view drawing), that type of drawing will be emphasized.īefore going into a study of orthographic projection, you should be able to recognize several other types of drawings. The ability to ”see” technical drawings that is to ”think in three dimensions,” is the most important part of this course.

Now that you have learned about the kinds of lines found on prints, the next step is to develop your visualization abilities.
