Turn Back Time: The Benefits of Early Nursing Interventions in Withdrawal Management [CE/CME/CERP] Room W230 A Overview: The workshop begins with an inmate in a medical crisis due to complications from opioid withdrawal. Through a guided scenario, participants work in small teams as they respond to the acutely ill patient. Teams make decisions about assessments and interventions, then discuss in the large group. After exploring the outcome, we will “turn back time” to allow teams to encounter the patient beginning with admission and discover opportunities to intervene sooner. This active learning experience explores the critical role of earlier interventions during withdrawal made complicated by co-morbidities and poor health. This is today’s challenge for jails during the opioid crisis and declining baseline health of our communities. Learning Objectives: • Identify assessments and interventions during a critical incident with a medically vulnerable patient. • Collaborate to identify the benefits of early medical intervention during the complicated withdrawal management. • Apply newly-developed insights and skills during the active learning workshop.

We will explore the origin and evolution of the concept of the psychopath and peel back the layers of the psychopathic personality to discover how and why they see the world the way they do. We will investigate the genetic and environmental influences on psychopathic behavior and learn why the minds of some individuals may be wired for crime. Using video-taped interviews of incarcerated psychopaths, participants will be given the opportunity to learn how to identify the signs and symptoms of the psychopathic personality and discover what it is like to be “Inside the Mind of the Psychopath.” Learning Objectives: • Describe three key aspects of the origin and historical evolution of the concept of psychopathy. • Identify the genetic and two environmental • Discuss two issues in managing the psychopathy in correctional settings.
