Within the past 18 months, there have been several new medications approved for gout. Education for nurses on gout, its diagnosis, risk factors, and current treatment is paramount given the increasing prevalence. Areas to be addressed include risk factors, diagnosis, treatment, and prevention. Of particular interest will be medications used to treat gout, their administration (PO and infusion), safety profile, onset of action, side effects, and indications for use.

Developed in conjunction with the Rheumatology Nurses Society (RNS) and presented by Victoria Ruffing, RN, Nurse Manager, Johns Hopkins Arthritis Center, this program will focus on the roles of the infusion and rheumatology nursing communities in the treatment of gout.

The webinar is sponsored by Savient Pharmaceuticals and is free to all INS and RNS members.
