Activase Therapy
This two (2) hour course is designed to inform healthcare providers how to recognize strokes, understand their complications, and treat them using Activase®. As more people identify stroke symptoms early and receive Activase® quickly, nurses need to understand how to care for patients before, during, and after the administration of Activase®.
By the end of this course, you will have the skills to:
✔️ Identify stroke statistics.
✔️ Define stroke, state risk factors (both modifiable and non-modifiable), and signs and symptoms of acute ischemic stroke.
✔️ Define the mechanism of action, patient eligibility, dosage, administration, and adverse side effects of Activase®.
✔️ Identify the nursing issues to consider when taking care of someone before, during, and after administration of Activase®.
