This course gives students an overview of medical co-morbidities that can be found in the post-acute care setting, focusing on hematologic problems. With patient acuity changing in this setting, patients with the potential for multiple medical co-morbidities are more likely to be admitted. Examples of medical co-morbidities associated with anemia and anticoagulation will be shared, along with clinical pearls on focusing assessment and interventions on managing the complex patient. This course is appropriate for licensed nurses working in any setting, but particularly targets those in rehabilitation, long term care and home health.

This course is a part of a series discussing comorbidities in complex patients, including the following topics:

Cardiac and Vascular | Pulmonary | Renal | Neurologic | Endocrine | Digestive | Hematologic
