Have you seen videos of surgeries on YouTube? Or a registered dietitian discussing vegetables on a podcast? Have you heard about texting to remind patients to take their pills or measure their blood sugars?

Health care is definitely delving into technology-mediated learning. But we have a lot to learn from colleges, who are actively engaging their students by using the technology in their hands.

If you want to learn more about this emerging field, you might want to follow the Mobile Learning Blog, MobiPress.

This site, designed for college educators, describes the differences between the tools and methods available, how to best use them, how to create a course for mobile delivery, and how to access course content using apps. It offers links and references, and a search engine if you’re looking for something specific.

Recently I am having difficulty differentiating seizures to newborn and just plain chills.
I have this patient who was diagnosed with sepsis.
While I was making rounds, i noticed that the newborn was like having chills
so i placed an extra blanket, and lowered the temp of the aircon.
Until after few minutes, the baby began jerking.
I called the attention of the physician and prepared 02 and valium in case.
The order followed and the newborn went ok.

Can somebody enlighten my curious and seeking mind.
Tnx. ]]> Patient Education kingramon15 http://allnurses.com/patient-education/newborn-seizures-vs-440583.html ER Nurses Question http://allnurses.com/patient-education/er-nurses-question-438511-new.html Wed, 18 Nov 2009 08:17:05 GMT You post in general was closed because we are not able to give medical advice here and that is what... You post in general was closed because we are not able to give medical advice here and that is what your asking for. You do need to go and seek advice from your doctor, if you are having recurrent attacks you need to be seen and treated. I am sorry your suffering, biliary pain can be very debilitating and if you know what your triggers are then you need to be avoiding them.

Keep a diary of your triggers and attacks and take it to your doctor for an assessment and plan of treatment. I hope you feel better soon

I am closing this thread now. ]]> Patient Education sharrie http://allnurses.com/patient-education/er-nurses-question-438511.html
