Tattoos, Piercings, and Healthcare Issues
Hours: 1.00
The practices of body arts — tattoos and piercings — have become so common that all healthcare professionals are urged to understand their medical impact. Knowledge of the health risks engendered in tattooing and body piercing practices will better equip healthcare professionals to address medical problems arising from these body arts, as well as recognize the contraindications when patients present for imaging studies such as general radiography, CT, and MRI.
