In the hospital, the patient experienced prolonged hypotension. The patient was diagnosed with non traumatic cerebral septic emboli, which carries a 50% mortality rate if not detected and treated promptly.Learners must attend/view/read the entire activity and complete the associated evaluation to be awarded the contact hours or CERP. No partial credit will be awarded.
