In this episode, Kevin and Dr. Wolf delve into a critical but often underestimated condition: alcohol withdrawal syndrome (AWS). They challenge the assumptions and biases emergency nurses may bring to patient care, particularly in identifying withdrawal symptoms in individuals who don’t fit the "typical" profile.
The discussion emphasizes the importance of early recognition, exploring how biases can cloud clinical judgment and hinder effective decision-making. Kevin and Dr. Wolf also provide essential insights into screening, scoring, and treating AWS, equipping emergency nurses with the knowledge needed to improve patient outcomes for this potentially life-threatening condition.
