Nurse efforts to provide patient education and recommendations may, at times, be insufficient to produce behavioral change. Moreover, attempts to persuade patients to adhere to recommendations may result in agreement lacking in follow-through, or outright opposition. Motivational Interviewing (MI) is a patient-centered, evidence-based communication approach with actionable tools for increasing patient receptivity and adherence to medical information and recommendations. This webinar will provide an overview and live demonstration of a specific MI-based communication framework called Ask—Offer—Ask (AOA). Nurses will learn how to apply the AOA approach to share medical information and advice in a way that avoids lecturing and increases patient receptivity and reduces defensiveness.

Patients receiving bone marrow transplants commonly present with a plan of care that requires a peripherally inserted central catheter (PICC) placement. A gap in best practices guidance for this specific patient type was identified. When organizational standard of care policies vary based on the latest evidence, nurse-led research examines population-specific comparison data for organizational policy changes. In this session, we will explore a case study and outline the steps of how the research process enabled nurses in an inpatient bone marrow transplant unit to change PICC line locking practice guidance for oncology patients.

This session will provide an in-depth exploration of the role the microbiome plays in overall health and its impact on the pathogenesis and recurrence of Clostridioides difficile infection (rCDI). Attendees will gain a comprehensive understanding of the mechanisms behind rCDI, including the significant burden it places on patients both during and after acute infection. We will delve into the microbial composition, potency, and standardized manufacturing process of REBYOTA® (fecal microbiota, live-jslm), an FDA-approved therapeutic option for rCDI. Participants will have the opportunity to review key efficacy and safety data from clinical trials, providing evidence of REBYOTA® in clinical settings. Through patient case studies, we will also discuss the practical application of REBYOTA® in real-world clinical practice, offering valuable insights into its role in managing and preventing rCDI recurrence. This session is ideal for health care professionals looking to deepen their knowledge of microbiome-related diseases and explore innovative treatments for recurrent CDI.
