In one study, more than half (58.9%) of dermatologic ED visits were due to cellulitis plus abscess (Nadkarni et al., 2016). Knowing common dermatologic presentations may help providers educate patients about the proper care for skin conditions and potentially impact ED utilization. The purpose of this course is to characterize the most common dermatologic diagnoses in the urgent care setting. The goal is to build provider confidence in assessing, diagnosing, and treating rashes in the urgent care setting. Accurately diagnose integument problems based on clinical presentation.

professor and nurse practitioner coordinator at Georgia Baptist College of Nursing of Mercer University. Dr. Reinoso’s clinical responsibilities have progressively evolved as his role in healthcare changed during the past 16 years of clinical practice. Initially, as a registered nurse (RN), he focused on providing the best care possible for patients at the bedside of a busy emergency department (ED) in a teaching hospital in south Florida. As an emergency nurse practitioner (NP), his focus shifted to coordinating and improving patient care in the ED through prescribed interventions and advanced care. Having expanded his role and practice as a dual-certified advanced practice provider, he was granted a greater understanding of how nursing and medicine intertwine. As an experienced family nurse practitioner (FNP) and emergency nurse practitioner (ENP), he oversees a full range of nursing care for emergency department patients. Course overview Family nurse practitioners (FNPs) and emergency nurse practitioners (ENPs) care for patients with many ailments in the emergency department (ED). Some patients with low acute conditions make many ED visits, which contributes to service overcrowding and a large number of visits classified by providers as inappropriate (Pacheco et al., 2019). Most emergency departments have an area for minor injuries and acute exacerbations of chronic conditions. Fast-track and urgent care centers are typically staffed by nurse practitioners (NPs) and physician associates (PAs). Some primary care offices provide urgent care visits as walk-ins.
