CLINICAL NURSING TIP: UNDERSTANDING DIC - ACT 1, ACT 2



I teach many clinical courses to nurses all over the country and frequently get the deer in headlights look when I mention DIC. Just thinking about the clotting cascade can send any nurse, especially a new nurse, into SVT!! DIC really isn't as difficult to learn as you may think. To understand DIC, you just need view it as a play with a plot, characters, and with different acts. 
Once you understand the basics, you can learn the rest.
