Nursing Faculty Members Present at Inaugural All Member Meeting for the NAFNP

Dr. Biedlingmaier and Dr. Bingham presented “Evaluation and Management of Epistaxis” at the inaugural All Member Meeting for the National Association of Family Nurse Practitioners (NAFNP) on September 27, 2024.

Evaluation and Management of Epistaxis (Nose bleeds) is within the scope of practice of Family Nurse Practitioners. Managing acute bleeding, however, can be daunting for the FNP and scary for the patient. Knowing the treatment options to swiftly terminate bleeding, the potential complications of each option, and when to refer a patient to the emergency department and/or to Otolaryngology is paramount to patient safety.
