The successful management of obesity—a complex, chronic and relapsing disease—through sustainable weight loss interventions can greatly improve individuals’ overall health status and diminish the severity of concomitant diseases such as diabetes. This activity will provide an overview of obesity and diabetes that describes effective multi-interventional approaches to weight loss and, importantly, highlights the role of incorporated lifestyle changes in promoting the likelihood of weight loss success and improved health outcomes. The conversational style of this activity will encourage discussion around obesity-care planning and examine the factors that must be considered due to the chronic and relapsing characteristics of this disease.
Skilled Nursing Facilities Series: Geriatric Syndromes
  • Disease management
  • Older adults
  • 0.50 ANCC - Nurses
  • 0.50 Attendance - General Attendance
  • 0.50 ASWB - Social Workers
$0.00
Geriatric syndromes are multifactorial conditions that are common in older adults. These syndromes can be present in residents of nursing homes that provide long-term care. However, geriatric syndromes are often not well understood, though the term is commonly used in daily practice in skilled nursing and assisted living facilities. An awareness of these common syndromes can help staff better understand the care needs of residents and improve quality of care and outcomes. This activity will identify the basic elements of several of the most common syndromes, offer insight into how geriatric syndromes can impact a resident’s daily life and provide a better appreciation of how an individual’s organ systems are interconnected to help mitigate risk and enable development of a better care plan for optimal outcomes.
Skilled Nursing Facilities Series: Infections in Geriatric Patients
  • Disease management
  • Older adults
  • 1.00 ANCC - Nurses
  • 1.00 Attendance - General Attendance
  • 1.00 ASWB - Social Workers
$0.00
Common causes of infection in long-term care facilities (LTCFs) include urinary tract infections (UTIs), pneumonia and cellulitis. The staff at LTCFs need to be able to detect any changes in a resident’s condition that could indicate an infection so they can provide appropriate monitoring and treatment. This activity will describe signs and symptoms of common infections in long-term care, highlight treatment modalities for infection and identify unique needs of geriatric patients. How the McGeer Criteria are used to provide standardized guidance for infection surveillance activities will also be discussed.
Skilled Nursing Facilities Series: Cardiac Assessment
  • Disease management
  • Older adults
  • 1.00 ANCC - Nurses
  • 1.00 Attendance - General Attendance
  • 1.00 ASWB - Social Workers
$0.00
Residents in long-term care often have multiple comorbid conditions and are at high risk for cardiac events. Therefore, recognizing and communicating changes in condition (e.g., new onset symptoms) that may indicate a potential cardiac event is essential. Inadequate information and/or poor communication can delay the initiation of appropriate assessment and treatment, which can adversely affect patient outcomes. The goal of this activity is to improve participants’ ability to recognize and report the most important aspects of a patient’s history and exam to improve communication and build provider, staff and patient confidence in the ability to evaluate and treat patients appropriately.
