Course Overview
Author: Michael York
MSN, RN
As nurses, we have been trained to assess and reassess patients with every encounter. Many patients have gone through traumatic events that often go undiscovered by the healthcare team. A trauma informed care approach will help healthcare providers uncover past trauma. This will allow them to tailor a plan of care that helps alleviate patient suffering by decreasing overall stress and anxiety. When the healthcare team is aware of past trauma, they can avoid conversations and situations that could potentially re-traumatize the patient.
