From Theory to Practice Case Series
From Theory to Practice Case Series (Releases: 9/28/20; Closes 3/25/21) provides the opportunity to study a complex psychiatric case comorbid with a medical diagnosis and associated complex medication regimen. A patient is followed over three encounters with each one consisting of a case study, pre-recorded webinar, and self-assessment questions. This edition is geriatric-focused, and the three encounters include delirium, dementia, and behavioral and psychological symptoms of dementia (BPSD). In the first encounter, the case explores a patient who has developed delirium during a hospitalization from both predisposing and precipitating factors (i.e., acute medical illness, anticholinergic use, sedative/hypnotic withdrawal). The webinar reviews diagnostic criteria, precipitating and predisposing factors, and a summary of guideline recommendations on the prevention and treatment of delirium. In the second encounter, the patient case focuses on dementia onset and adverse effects from cholinesterase inhibitors (e.g., bradycardia, urinary incontinence). The webinar reviews major neurocognitive disorder due to Alzheimer’s disease diagnostic criteria, treatment guidelines, an overview of cholinesterase inhibitors and memantine, and highlights important medication trials from the past several years. Lastly, the third case encounter finds the patient experiencing BPSD. The webinar reviews treatment guidelines, nonpharmacologic strategies, and pharmacologic treatment options and risks for BPSD. Given this geriatric focus, CPNP is working with ASCP to provide 5 hours of Board Certified Geriatric Pharmacy (BCGP) credit for this product in addition to BCPP credit provided by CPNP.
