Case Study 1: 76-Year-old CHF Patient

We want to welcome everyone to our first case study. Instead of our usual nurse debriefings, we will talk about patient cases since we are not travel nursing at the moment. These nurse cases are excellent for nurses and student nurses to understand how patient studies work, use critical thinking skills, and what to expect while handling these patients. In this episode, we will talk about a case regarding congestive heart failure or CHF. We will also tackle the patient history and assessment and ask questions as we go along the case. So, if you want to hear our first patient case study, join us in this episode!
