Opioids, used (and abused) for millennia, have become a significant cause of mortality in the U.S. The treatment of chronic pain and widespread acceptance of opioids to treat it may have jump started the current epidemic. The emergence of newer, highly potent synthetic opioids appears to be adding additional fuel to the fire. Between 2001 and 2016, opioid overdose-related deaths spiked by 175%, accounting for 1.5% of all American deaths. A multi-pronged approach has been largely ineffective, with hundreds of people dying every day. Opioid overdose mortality is out of control. Death from overdose, though, is not inevitable. Timely administration of an opioid antagonist has been proven to save lives. Availability of this antidote is rapidly expanding. The challenge of healthcare professionals is to best understand the safe use of opioids, be able to recognize an overdose, and know how to effectively treat it.

At the root are a variety of infectious pathogens, some representing a resultant disease and each featuring varying abilities to pass between people. Additionally, pathogens that lead to worldwide disease (pandemic), it is critical to also respect those that cause limited endemic or epidemic disease.

Geriatric Special Topics: Age-Related Changes in Health
3
Hrs
Course expiration date: 9/21/2020
The course of normal aging, independent of disease, is accompanied by a myriad of changes in the body’s systems. The clinical implications of these age-related alterations are important in nursing assessment and care of the older adult. Changes associated with normal aging must be differentiated from pathological processes in order to develop appropriate interventions. Manifestations of aging can adversely impact the health and functional capability of older adults and require therapeutic strategies to correct. Age-associated changes predispose older persons to selected diseases. Thus, nurses’ understanding of these risks can serve to develop more effective approaches to assessment and care. This cours

Geriatric Special Topics: General Surgical Care of the Older Adult

Hrs
Course expiration date: 12/5/2020
Older adult surgical patients offer unique challenges for the multidisciplinary team from the postoperative period to discharge. Physiological changes of aging (e.g., decreased cardiac and respiratory reserve, impaired kidney and liver function, and loss of muscle mass) can significantly affect the recovery time of older adult surgical patients and put them at greater risk of postoperative complications. This course provides the latest evidence and guidelines for the management of the stable older surgical patient in each of these key areas outlined by the ACOVE (AGS, 2007) and NIA Expert Panel quality indicators. In addition, the nurse’s responsibilities related to discharge planning will be highlighted. This course also discusses, where applicable, the identification of applicable Joint Commission (TJC) National Patient Safety Goals (TJC, 2015) and National Quality Forum (NQF) National Database of Nursing Quality Indicators.

Water is an essential component of body composition. Intricate cellular functions, such as gene expression, protein synthesis, and uptake and metabolism of nutrients, are affected by hydration status. Organ systems, specifically the cardiovascular and renal systems, are particularly vulnerable to fluctuating levels of hydration. Older individuals are at increased risk for hydration problems stemming from several converging age-related factors, including lack of thirst. This course provides nurses with information to describe older adults at risk of dehydration, assess the older adult’s hydration status, list interventions to promote hydration, and identify outcomes of a hydration management program.
