Educational Programs
In these changing times and with the nursing
shortage, more and more nurses are not familiar with the care
of patients
with
hemophilia.
These two modules were designed by Sue Geraghty, RN and were
reviewed by the National Hemophilia Nursing Working Group. They
are designed
to orient floor nurses to the care of our patients. Please feel
free to use these however you feel appropriate. The areas shaded
in yellow are center/facility specific and should be changed
to meet the policies and procedures of your institution. After
you
have made your changes then click the highlight icon on the tool
bar to remove the yellow highlighting. These are guide lines
and are not meant to take the place of our institutions policies
and
procedures.

Assessing
Readiness for Self-Infusion
This workbook was designed by the
Region VII Nursing/Social Work Group and was reviewed by the National
Hemophilia Nursing Working
Group. The workbook was designed to help patients understand about
their bleeding disorder and treatment. It will take patients 30 – 45
minutes to complete. After they complete the workbook they should
have a better understanding about their bleeding disorder, treatment,
and home infusion safety. The workbook contains 24 items, each
with several possible responses grouped into 3 columns. For some
items the patient should complete a sentence. Others may have to
show if the item is true or false. They should be instructed to
read each item, and then circle the one response or group of responses
that best describes what they would normally do. When they are
done, they can move on to the next section. There they will find
the best answers for each item along with an explanation. Open
