Doctor of Nursing Practice Projects

There are over one million shoulder arthroscopies and arthroplasties performed worldwide each year, with interscalene blocks (ISBs) the typical treatment choice for postoperative analgesia (Etkin & Springer, 2017). In 2018, Exparel® was FDA approved for use in ISBs and educational materials currently are scarce (Pacira Pharmaceuticals, 2019).
