Polypharmacy is a silent syndrome that often presents as functional and cognitive impairment, a new diagnosis, or treatment failure. Most health care providers recognize that polypharmacy is increasingly prevalent and have the understanding that it may be impairing optimal outcomes, yet, many health care providers feel powerless to manage and advocate for improved outcomes in patients living with polypharmacy, due to lack of formal training regarding this subject. This course introduces the learner to dynamics that lead to polypharmacy, basic principles to recognize common polypharmacy pitfalls, and systematic techniques to approach polypharmacy and empower the learner to improve multi-medication use outcomes. The target audiences for this course are nurses (RNs), advance practice nurses (APRNs), therapists, and social workers.

Video Runtime: 73 Minutes; Learning Assessment Time: 24 Minutes
This course will focus on nursing and interdisciplinary team (IDT) interventions required to improve outcomes for skilled nursing facility (SNF) residents with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) or pneumonia. COPD and pneumonia are identified among the five conditions responsible for potentially avoidable hospitalizations in nursing home residents. This course will review the definitions, pathophysiology, and evidence-based care for residents with COPD or pneumonia. Nursing staff will learn the essentials of comprehensive assessment and management of residents, identify risk factors for readmission, and manage clinical data during transitions of care. Individual roles of the interdisciplinary team will be examined. This course will assist the SNF to advance its reputation in the community by providing quality care to residents with COPD or pneumonia.

Health care acquired pneumonia not related to a ventilator is an extremely under-recognized threat to patient morbidity and mortality. In a recent study, it was tied with surgical site infection for the number one hospital acquired infection. With mortality rates and hospital length of stay similar to ventilator-associated pneumonia, health care professionals can make a difference in preventing the infection by implementing simple patient care interventions such as oral care and mobility. This course explores why the hospitalized patient is at risk for pneumonia. An in-depth look at basic care practices that impact outcomes associated with reducing health care acquired pneumonia are outlined. This course content is applicable to nurses and other health care professionals who work with patients in acute care, rehabilitation and long-term care settings.

There is increasing evidence supporting the efficacy of cognitive rehabilitation interventions and cognitive stimulation programming. In this course, we will discuss some of that evidence and then explore a wide range of materials that can be used by therapists, caregivers, and others. It is important to know which types of exercises will exercise which cognitive abilities and parts of the brain, so as to target areas that need to be improved. Best practices will also be discussed to give attendees a wide range of skills and knowledge related to cognitive rehabilitation. This course is the fourth of a five-part series.

Older Adults have always wanted to remain in their home as long as possible. A recent trend in health care and funding focusing on home care rather than admission to a nursing facility makes this possible more than ever before. Home Care Nurses, Occupational and Physical Therapists, and other Home Care Providers will be increasingly asked to be involved in the care of these persons and assist with living situation decisions. This presentation will discuss important aspects of helping older adults stay in their home: cognition, home safety, screening, preventive interventions and resources. The participant will develop an understanding of the relationship between balance, cognition, aging, and the risk for falls. Selection of appropriate interdisciplinary assessment tools to screen for cognitive risk factors will be discussed. Intervention models to guide reduction of fall risks and safety related issues in the environment will be discussed. The impact of physical changes, fear of falling, and cognitive decline will be presented. At the completion of this educational session the participant will be able to select appropriate intervention approaches to address cognitive risk factors, reduce falls, assist the primary caregiver and enhance safe and independent community living.
