Required reading for all learners: Implicit Bias impacts patient outcomes
The risk of dysphagia increases every day a patient is intubated. Dysphagia’s pathophysiology is multifactorial and the consequences of postextubation dysphagia (PED) are associated with poor outcomes. To promote patient safety, nurses need a tool to screen patients for PED to reduce the risk of ingesting oral intake inappropriately. Case studies demonstrate how an evidence-based PED screening tool can identify patients at risk for dysphagia to prevent aspiration pneumonia.Learners must complete the entire activity and the associated evaluation AND read Implicit Bias impacts patient outcomes. No partial credit will be awarded.
