1.0 NAPNAP Contact Hour of which 0.25 contains pharmacology. This continuing education activity is free to National Association of Pediatric Nurse Practitioners (NAPNAP) members and non-members. This course is an archived presentation from NAPNAP's 2023 National Conference. Lyme disease is the most common vector-borne disease in the United States, with approximately 476,000 people diagnosed and treated each year. Pediatric-focused APRNs in both high- and low-incidence areas may encounter Lyme disease, particularly with endemic areas expanding and increased patient travel. A 2022 survey of more than 600 nurse practitioners and other health care providers revealed that the respondents do not have strong confidence in their Lyme disease knowledge, and provider knowledge gaps exist regarding the appropriate diagnosis and treatment of Lyme disease. This session will review key findings of this survey and address common misconceptions in the diagnosis and treatment of Lyme disease.
