Although most nurses own a stethoscope few know the full scope of capabilities of the stethoscope. This session goes beyond listening to the typical sounds and will teach participants what would be heard if a patient had pneumonia, congestive heart failure, a fracture or dislocation, pulmonary embolism, ARDS or a bowel obstruction. Participants will also learn how to determine liver size and more. Hands-on - participants should bring their own stethoscope to practice and learn how to perform a thorough and accurate assessment of heart, breath and abdominal sounds.
