COPD Exacerbation Management: Case Study for Nurse Practitioners

Walking into an exam room and seeing the hunched over patient with labored breathing, audible wheezing, and oxygen tank can make you want to slowly walk out backwards as a new nurse practitioner — it’s intimidating!

A COPD exacerbation can look scary, but the management is fairly straight-forward. As is the choice of whether or not to prescribe antibiotics (and which ones!)
This week’s case study is all about COPD exacerbation management:

✅ How to know who should go to the ER
✅ When to give antibiotics (and which ones, for how long)
✅ The general management you should be doing in primary care as a PCP for someone with COPD

PLUS! Download the COPD Management Cheat Sheet that goes along with this video to keep at your desk, to assess severity, which meds to use, and what primary care patients need from you here: https://www.realworldnp.com/pl/237649
