Polypharmacy: The Silent Geriatric Syndrome
Thursday, April 22, 2010
2 PM Eastern Time

Ever wondered how medications hinder or help your rehabilitation patients? Some medications help alleviate pain, while others used at the same time can impair cognition or neurological activity thus delaying progress. You may also encounter medications that seem unrelated to muscle and brain function, yet indirectly impact patient outcomes. Learn to understand the effects and toxicities of common medications used in geriatric patients undergoing rehabilitation to help predict and intercept potential problems.

Take a journey into the often missed syndrome called polypharmacy with Demetria Antimisiaris, PharmD, CGP, FASCP, where she will bring together patient cases, review pharmacologic principles, and guide discussion. Please bring your observations, curiosity and questions to this 75-minute Web cast.

Sharing your knowledge of evidence-based practices and/or positive outcomes is an excellent way to contribute to the field of rehabilitation nursing. Publishing that knowledge can take it a step further and reach more nurses who will then benefit from your knowledge and experience.  Elaine Tilka Miller, DNS RN CRRN FAAN, Editor of Rehabilitation Nursing, has created a workshop that will:

• describe the essential components in the development of a manuscript
• review strategies that help facilitate the writing process
• identify resources to aid you in a successful outcome.

Manuscript writing for a journal or trade publication is an attainable goal when the steps are broken down into achievable tasks.   Take that next step in your professional development and become a published author.  Miller will cover everything from getting started, planning, writing, and maintaining the momentum to help you create a finished product.  Helpful resources are also included.
