With the most recent global Monkeypox outbreak in May of this year, there’s been a lot of confusion among patients and providers about treatment options and vaccination.With about 7,000 cases in the United States as of this recording, luckily the treatment options are starting to become more available. As I mentioned in the first episode of this series, thus far the treatments and vaccines have been only available through the Strategic National Stockpile, a government supply created to prepare for outbreaks. However, we’re starting to see more availability as the weeks go on.If you haven’t already watched the last episode about Monkeypox Overview Part 1, definitely go back and check it out!Monkeypox Treatment OptionsIn this week’s episode, we cover:✅ Who needs treatment (and who doesn’t)✅ The two main categories of treatments✅ What vaccines are available✅ Antiviral treatment options✅ Where to access treatmentsLuckily, the vast majority of patients will have mild, self-limited illnesses, but it is helpful to understand all the treatment options out there so you can confidently answer patients’ questions and connect patients to treatment who need it.If you liked this video, also check out:Monkeypox part 1 videoMonkeypox Patient education videoSyphilis Laboratory Diagnosis for New Nurse Practitioners-----------------------Don't forget to grab your free Ultimate Resource Guide for the New NP Sign up for the Lab Interpretation Crash CourseGrab your copy of the Digital NP Binder______________________________Please note: This episode is intended only for medical providers and students learning to be medical providers. While anyone is welcome to view and listen, for legal and safety reasons, we are unable to diagnose, treat, or answer medical questions for individuals through this channel.  We always refer individuals back to their primary care providers for medical care.If you’re a medical provider or student and have specific patient cases you have questions about, I cannot answer those here but would love to help you inside our mentorship program!
