Course Description
Curriculum developed at The Gordon Center for Research in Medical Education, Miller School of Medicine, University of Miami, Miami, Florida This course addresses the pre-hospital, emergency department and stroke unit management of patients with acute stroke. Using interactive discussions, hands-on workshops, multimedia (computerized video clips), and standardized patients (instructors that act out and simulate different stroke syndromes), the course includes a discussion of the differential diagnosis of stroke, rapid recognition of five major stroke syndromes, training in the use of the Miami Emergency Neurologic Deficit exam (based on the National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale [NIHSS] and incorporating the Cincinnati Pre-hospital Stroke Scale) and the actual NIHSS education regarding the use of thrombolytic therapy in acute ischemic stroke patients. There is also a detailed discussion of the acute care of stroke patients in the hospital, including: Prevention of medical complications Rehabilitation in the acute setting The diagnostic evaluation Secondary stroke prevention strategies Discharge planning for the patient and family
This course is appropriate for both new and experienced providers, particularly nurses and physicians who work in the emergency departments, stroke unit and stroke-unit equivalents.
Course Objectives
Upon successful completion of this course, the student should be able to: - Discuss the latest information and research on the epidemiology, risk factors, causes and prevention of strokes.
- Describe the components of the focused neuro exam, importance of brevity and urgency in collecting the data, as well as the accuracy in describing assessment findings.
- Correlate the signs of brain injury to the location of the lesion in the brain versus ruling out other causes or mimics of a stroke. The student shall understand the importance of obtaining a good patient history (current and past).
- Discuss a comprehensive understanding of stroke care, time line management for appropriate thrombolytic therapy, supportive care, prevention of medical complications and rehabilitation.
- Perform a focused neuro exam on a standardized normal individual, and identify appropriate and inappropriate methods of performing the exam.
- Demonstrate in a “hands-on session” examination of three to four different standardized “patients” and correlate the assessment findings to the type of stroke syndrome.

Course Description
This course is designed for the Registered Nurse (RN) who has been away from practice for three or more years, or those currently working in areas other than the medical-surgical environment. The material presented will allow the returning nurse to practice patient care skills and administer medication and physical assessment in the lab setting prior to hospital clinicals. This will give an opportunity for the nurse to become aware of the changes that have occurred and that are necessary for providing effective nursing care in a variety of acute care clinical situations, so that the nurse will be able to move with confidence into a staff nurse orientation and return to practice. Clinical lab will be provided in a local hospital(s) where the returning RN will be exposed to various experiences working with an RN preceptor. |
