Summary

In nursing school, I learned that digital clubbing was a key sign of COPD and I accepted this as gospel and moved on with my life. I used this information to answer exam questions on the topic and I always included assessing for it in my care plans for patients with COPD. But, like all things in nursing, there’s so much more to this story.

In this episode, you’ll get answers to your burning questions: * What is digital clubbing? * What disease conditions are associated with digital clubbing? * How is digital clubbing evaluated, measured and categorized? * What is the pathophysiology of digital clubbing? ___________________ ⁠Full Transcript⁠ - Read the article and view references ⁠FREE CLASS⁠ - If all you've heard are nursing school horror stories, then you need this class!
