Alzheimer’s Disease and Other Dementias: Diagnosis, Treatment, Prevention and Care
Alzheimer’s Disease and Other Dementias: Diagnosis, Treatment, Prevention and Care is organized by E Care Behavioral Health Institute.
Overview:
Join Dr. Sherrie All as she provides you with the assessment tools and critical interventions you need to identify and differentiate between dementias, prevent and reduce difficult behaviors, and improve your ability to communicate with cognitively impaired patients!
More than just an overview of dementia and Alzheimer’s, this program will offer practical solutions to some of the most challenging real-life situations you face and bring you up to speed on the latest medications, preventative treatments, and advances in early detection that could impact your work.
Better still, throughout the recording, you’ll build essential skills, better understand the complexities of the disease, and discover how you can employ safe and effective best practices to provide quality care.
Objectives:
• Communicate how the manifestations of each type of dementia impact identification and prognosis.
• Specify how non-verbal communication skills can help professionals identify meanings behind gestures when working with patients who have dementia.
• Characterize how patient safety can be enhanced with strategies to redirect wandering and manage paranoia.
