Renal Disease Course is organized by Physicians Insurance - A Mutual Company.
Origination: Apr 2022
Expiration: Dec 2025
Description:
According to the National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases (2021), an estimated 37 million people in the U.S. are currently living with renal disease. It ranks among the top causes of death. Often caused by hypertension or diabetes, chronic kidney disease, which is the most prevalent type of kidney disease, is treatable with medication and lifestyle modification. Unfortunately, an estimated 90% of people with chronic kidney disease do not know they have it and therefore do not receive the necessary care to prolong or improve their quality of life. When you understand the underlying risk factors, you can better recognize symptoms, educate, treat, and prevent further kidney damage. This course discusses the pathophysiology of renal disease. It also discusses a nurse’s role in assessing, managing and educating people with a diagnosis of renal disease.
Learning Objectives:
• Describe the pathophysiology of renal disease.
• Discuss the nurse's role in assessing, managing, and educating individuals with renal disease
