Tune in on Thursday, April 27th for an online session in which Dr. Tan Cummings will discuss Pain and Other Assessments in a Person With Dementia.
Professionals use a variety of tools to determine decline and remaining function in persons with dementia. Specific tools help give physicians, nurses and caregiving staff a better picture of what is happening to the resident. Assessing for depression, anxiety, ADLs, IADLs, Pain, etc., keeps arguments out of the doctor’s office and helps us to assist families in understanding the disease process.
Pain causes an estimated 50 percent of the behaviors in a Person With Dementia. Learn how to assess, plan and provide for pain treatment, including the use of narcotic medications.
