ForwardClinical Case Review: Anemia in Infants and Toddlers
Nursing Grand Rounds is a tried and true strategy to support evidence-based practice. Presenting information related to clinical cases can provide valuable information through teaching and professional development. By examining specific episodes in patient care, reviewing the pathophysiology, evaluating the nursing care provided and relating the "doing" of nursing care to the evidence and science the participants can apply the presenter's experience to their own practice. This presentation will review a clinical case of anemia in a young child.
