WHAT’S INSIDE
ALL COURSES SATISFY GENERAL HOURS REQUIREMENT Addiction Medicine Part 2: Alcohol 1 [2 contact hours] Alcohol use disorder is a serious national health problem in the United States. It is estimated that more than 14 million American adults had an alcohol use disorder in 2019, as well as 414,000 adolescents aged 12 to 17. There is a clear need for improvement in the treatment of alcohol use disorder; this course serves to review the recognition, diagnosis, and treatment of alcohol use disorder and alco- hol withdrawal. Educating Patients: Creating Teaching Moments in Practice 11 [4 contact hours] Effective education is essential to help patients and family gain knowledge. All healthcare professionals (HCPs) can identify teaching opportunities to assess and provide effective education. The purpose of this course is to provide HCPs with current evidence-based information to help them learn and apply skills and practice for effective patient and family teaching in a variety of settings. Heart Failure: Evidence Review and Management 29 [2 contact hours] Heart failure is a complex clinical syndrome associated with increasing morbidity, mortality, and economic burden. Despite evidence supporting guideline-directed therapy and management for reduction of morbidity and mortality, these medications are still underprescribed. According to the CHAMP-HF registry, among eligible patients, only 22% were prescribed essential heart failure medications per guideline recommendations ((Greene et al., 2018). Healthcare providers have an essential role in improving outcomes with heart failure by bridging the gap between guideline-directed recommendations and actual clinical practice. The learning outcomes of this activity will help clinicians understand this healthcare gap by reviewing the current evidence-based pharmacotherapy recommendations for HF treatment through analyzing clinical trials and guidelines. Mental Health Concerns for the Older Adult 40 [6 contact hours] The healthcare worker meeting mental health needs will be able to view the older adult within the context of aging theo- ries and identify interpersonal connection, biopsychosocial elements, and the assessment and treatment for common mental health problems in the older adult. The target audience is any healthcare worker who will assess, intervene, or treat mental health needs of an older adult cli- ent. Registered nurses, mental health technicians, mental health providers, case managers, and primary care healthcare workers can benefit from the perspective provided by this course. Monitoring Techniques for Optimal Diabetes Management and Control 67 [2 contact hours] The purpose of this course is to assist in the successful management of diabetes, including blood glucose monitoring (BGM) and the ability of persons with diabetes to monitor the effectiveness of their diabetes treatment plan to understand better the interre- lationships of food, activity, and medication-taking. In addition, BGM data can alert the person to hypoglycemia and hyperglycemia, inspiring lifestyle modifications that may help people with diabetes achieve their A1C goals. Diabetes technology has resulted in many improvements in blood glucose meters. Continuing advances in BGM have led to the development of continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) systems that enable people with diabetes to optimize glycemic stability and improve the quality of their lives. This course reviews the features and function- ality of BGM with glucometers and CGMs in line with the 2022 American Diabetes Association (ADA) evidence-based guidelines integrated into clinical practice. Pharmacological Management: Type 2 Diabetes in Children, 2nd Edition 80 [3 contact hours] This course will outline the risk factors, pathophysiology, and diagnostic criteria of type 2 diabetes. Goals of management, treatment options, and psychosocial barriers will also be addressed to guide successful multidisciplinary care of these patients. Prescribing Controlled Substances Safely: A DEA Requirement 94 [8 contact hours] Nurse Practitioners (NPs), Physician Assistants (PAs), Pharmacists, and Dentists care for patients with disorders in many healthcare settings. Individuals may seek care for an acute illness or worsening of a chronic condition. Often, pain is the leading reason for seeking medical care. Appropriate prescribing practices are critical for all medications, but controlled substances require special attention. The Drug Enforcement Agency (DEA), the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), and the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) all have a role in controlled medication schedules. Prescribers must understand federal and state requirements for all controlled sub- stances. This course will provide a general review of federal and state-controlled substance regulations and the prescribing practices for controlled substances. Additionally, substance use disorders are complex phenomena affecting many lives. This course also reviews common substance use disorders, including alcohol, anxiolytics, stimulants, hallucinogens, and tobacco/vaping. However, the focus is on clinical safety considerations when prescribing non-cancer-related opioid medications for acute/chronic pain in adults. Shingles Disease Process and Vaccination for Pharmacists 132 [1 contact hour ] Shingles causes a characteristic rash typically localized in one area of the body. Serious complications, which often depend on the rash location, can arise, such as pain that persists after the rash has cleared and even vision or hearing loss. Treatment typically focuses on antiviral therapy and symptom control. Shingles can be prevented through vaccination, which is recommended for adults over 50 since the immune system weakens with age. This course serves to review the disease process of shingles and the use of vaccinations to prevent shingles. The Complications of Chronic Kidney Disease, Second Edition 138 [2 contact hours] This course serves as a review of chronic kidney disease (CKD) and the medications used to prevent adverse effects of CKD and slow disease progression.
