It is common for patients entering the healthcare system to experience increased stress and some degree of emotional discomfort. Usually, these individuals are presenting with a serious illness, significant pain, or trauma. They may or may not know their diagnosis. Even when patients come to a hospital for joyful reasons, such as having a baby, there can be worry accompanying the excitement until the outcome is clear. Families and friends of patients have their own worries and concerns about their loved ones. For these reasons, all nurses must be prepared to assist patients in the general healthcare setting with maintaining optimal mental health.

This course was recorded from a live webinar that took place on January 14, 2021.
This course is for healthcare professionals who want to identify ways to support grieving individuals because of the coronavirus disease (COVID-19). Characteristics that influence COVID-19 grief, bereavement, and mourning are identified. Policies such as social distancing may mitigate the impact of contracting the virus but increase risk factors for mental health issues and complicated grief (prolonged grief disorder). The course presents major theories and models of mourning as they relate to coping with COVID-19 ambiguous loss and disenfranchised grief.

Opioids, used (and abused) for millennia, have become a significant cause of mortality in the U.S. The treatment of chronic pain and widespread acceptance of opioids to treat it may have jump started the current epidemic. The challenge for healthcare professionals is to best understand the safe use of opioids, be able to recognize an overdose, and know how to effectively treat it.
