Abstract 206: Impact of Inpatient Evaluation of Health Literacy on Outcomes in Post-MI Patients Session Title: Abstract Poster Session II
Conclusion: Routine hospital health literacy screening did not improve risk of MACE. Selective health literacy screening was associated with lower 1-year readmission risk compared with hospitals that never screened. Studies are needed to elicit how inpatient health literacy screening can improve patient transition of care.

Incongruence Between Perceived Long-Term Risk and Actual Risk of Stroke in Rural African Americans
ABSTRACT: Stroke has increased among young adults. In addition, the accuracy by which African Americans perceive their risk of stroke is unclear. The purpose of the study was to examine the accuracy of perceived stroke risk of African Americans aged 19–54 years. A descriptive-correlational design was used. Accuracy of perceived stroke risk was determined by comparing perceived risk with actual risk. Participants (N = 66) had a mean age of 43.3 (SD = 9.4) years and were mostly female, high school graduates, and unemployed. Most (66%) perceived themselves as having no/low risk of future stroke. However, actual risk factors...

Probable Nootropic-induced Psychiatric Adverse Effects: A Series of Four Cases
Conclusion Healthcare providers in general, and specifically those in the mental health and substance abuse fields, should keep in mind that nootropic use is an under recognized and evolving problem. Nootropic use should be considered in cases where there are sudden or unexplained exacerbations of psychiatric symptoms in patients who have been stable and medication adherent. It is also important to remember that most nootropics are not detected on standard drug toxicology screening tests. We have very little clinical information on how nootropics may interact with psychotropics (or other medications) and potentially cause ...

Effect of fluid loading with normal saline and 6% hydroxyethyl starch on stroke volume variability and left ventricular volume
Conclusion: Administration of colloid and crystalloid induced similar responses in SVV. A higher plasma-expanding effect of HES compared to normal saline was demonstrated by the significant increase in LVEDV.Keywords: colloid–crystalloid controversy, fluid responsiveness, three-dimensional transesophageal echocardiography (3D-TEE)

Bundle up: Introducing care bundles to increase knowledge and confidence of senior nursing students
Nursing graduates transitioning to practice are expected to be safe and competent practitioners. Health organizations promote the use of evidence-based practices such as care bundles to improve patient outcomes and provide quality health care. This research describes the introduction of 2 care bundles, sepsis, and acute stroke to senior associate degree nursing students in a clinical day on campus. The researchers used high-fidelity simulation as a teaching methodology to increase knowledge and confidence level in caring for patients in the clinical setting.
