SUMMARY:Relationship-Based Dementia Care: Gain Permission Regardless of Cognition (Part 2)
DESCRIPTION:When individuals are living with dementia\, especially when they are having challenges with verbal communication\, it may sometimes seem difficult to tell if they are providing their permission for care. This online training will explore the differences between care\, abuse\, and neglect; and will help learners understand the necessity of obtaining permission in dementia care\, even during the later states of the condition. The online training will provide techniques and methods used to improve relationship-based dementia care and ensure that permission is always obtained in care situations\, improving quality of life for all involved. \nObjectives: \nBy the end of the session\, learners will be able to: \n\nIdentify the differences between care\, abuse\, and neglect in dementia care situations.\nDescribe the importance of obtaining permission before engaging in care tasks with another individual\, even when verbal expression is no longer possible.\nDiscuss the value of knowing the person and their history in effective communication efforts with those living with dementia.\nDemonstrate and describe verbal and physical techniques to improve care interactions with those living with dementia.\n\nAbout the Speaker: Beth A.D. Nolan\, Ph.D.\, Chief Public Health Officer and Lead Speaker with Teepa Snow’s Positive Approach to Care (PAC). \nIn support of improving patient care\, this activity has been planned and implemented by the Hawaii Public Health Institute and the Western Region Public Health Training Center (WRPHTC). The WRPHTC is jointed accredited by the Accreditation Council for Continued Medical Education (ACCME)\, the Accreditation Council for Pharmacy Education (ACPE)\, and the American Nurses Credentialing Center (ANCC)\, to provide continuing education for the healthcare team.
