Required reading for all learners: Implicit Bias impacts patient outcomes
Evaluation of the pupillary light reflex (PLR) is part of the standard neurologic assessment for patients with known or suspected intracranial pathology. Quantitative pupillometry (QP) is expanding clinical science research on PLR beyond the assessment of neurocritically ill patients. Anisocoria, the absolute difference in left and right pupil diameter (pupil size), has been suggested as an important clinical biomarker. However, the definition of anisocoria is imprecise. Little evidence describes how QP can help define anisocoria and assess neurologically ill patients for anisocoria. Nurses, more than members of other professions, are tasked with frequent assessment of patients with neurologic injury.Learners must complete the entire activity and the associated evaluation AND read Implicit Bias impacts patient outcomes.
