How to Recognize and Treat Seizures in Urgent Care Centers Part 1
According to the World Health Organization , about 10% of people have a seizure at one point in their life and over three million people nationwide have epilepsy. Based on these data, seizures are more common than most people think. In many cases, the cause of a seizure is unknown; however, seizures can happen after a head injury, an infection, a stroke, or another illness.
This activity describes the different types of seizures and the signs and symptoms of a seizure, the complications of seizures, and reviews the steps to take when a person is having a seizure along with the diagnosis process and treatment options.

Overview of Approach to Trauma in Urgent Care Centers
According to The American Association for the Surgery of Trauma, the leading cause of death in persons under the age of 45 is trauma. Traumatic injuries can range from a small laceration to a serious life-threatening injury. To decrease the risk of hidden injuries and attain the best outcome, the assessment and management of the trauma patient must take a systematic approach.
This activity describes the different types of trauma and their potential causes, discusses the prevalence of trauma injuries and the mortality rates due to trauma, and lists the steps in assessing a trauma patient.

Treating Head and Facial Trauma in Urgent Care Centers
According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC, ), Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) is the single largest cause of death from injury in the United States. The World Health Organization (WHO) reports traffic crashes kill over a million people annually worldwide and are the most common cause of head and facial injuries, with the mandible being the most common bone fracture and the upper lip being the most common site of injury. To prevent complications, the person with a head or facial injury must receive prompt and accurate medical treatment to avoid complications. This course describes the different types of head and facial trauma and their potential causes, discusses the prevalence of head and facial trauma injuries and the morbidity/mortality rate due to head and facial trauma, and the steps in assessing the patient with a head or facial injury.
