Hello students,

On the first day of complex care frontloading, there will be a critical care drug calculation and a critical care must-know drug quiz. To prepare for the upcoming semester, please review the critical care drug calculations available in ATI. I will include a list of drugs you must learn (brand and generic names, indications, labs, nursing significance and responsibilities, adverse reactions, patient teaching, and contraindications).

The following topics will be covered in Complex Care Theory: preoperative, intraoperative, and postoperative care, including labs and nursing responsibilities for surgery preparation; pain management; mechanical ventilation, acute respiratory distress syndrome, respiratory system pathology, assessment, diagnostic tests, labs, and nursing responsibilities; kidney function pathology, assessment, diagnostic tests, labs, and nursing responsibilities; and diabetes/HHS management, covering pathology, assessment, diagnostic tests, labs, and nursing responsibilities.

Skills required for frontloading are: 

The textbook for this class is “Critical Care Nursing: A Holistic Approach” (12th ed.) by Morton, P.G., & Thurman, P. (2024), which will be available as an ebook on Canvas.

I hope this information is helpful, and I look forward to meeting you all next semester as you move one step closer to graduation.

Best regards,

Professor Duncan.
