This course will provide an overview of the pathophysiology of pain, the components of a comprehensive pain assessment, and discuss nonpharmacological and non-opioid pharmacological management of pain.
Safe and Effective Prescribing of Controlled Substances Nursing CE Course for APRNs
The purpose of this course is to discuss the basic safety guidelines that must be observed by advanced practice registered nurses (APRNs) who are prescribing controlled substances.
Pain Management Pearls: Opioids and Culture
Pain affects all domains of life, and clinicians have few effective tools at their disposal to help these patients. Opioids remain the strongest group of analgesic drugs available.
Responsible Prescribing of Controlled Substances: The Louisiana Requirement
Opioid analgesic medications can bring substantial relief to patients suffering from pain.
Prescription Opioids: Risk Management and Strategies for Safe Use
This course will extensively cover the various approaches recommended or mandated for use by clinicians who prescribe opioids, in order to reduce risk and improve outcomes.
Opioid Use Disorder
Morphine and heroin were first synthesized and used medicinally in the nineteenth century, and recreational and illicit use followed.
Pharmacologic and Medical Advances in Obesity Management
Obesity is a chronic, progressive, relapsing, multifactorial disease resulting in metabolic and biomechanical morbidities and premature mortality, and its prevalence has risen to unacceptable levels in the United States and worldwide.
Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder
Primary care practitioners treat many civilians and veterans of all ages who exhibit symptoms of PTSD, but many lack the necessary knowledge to identify PTSD and perform differential diagnosis.
Geriatric Cases: Falls, Delirium, and Polypharmacy
Older adult patients are presenting with higher levels of complexity as they age. Primary care providers need to be able to handle the intricacies that occur in caring for older adults as it is rarely just one problem addressed at one visit.
Safer Post-Operative Prescribing of Opioids
The goal of this CME activity is to share best practices in post-operative opioid prescribing to reduce the number of excess opioids left over following a surgery or acute pain episode of care. Leftover opioids increase the risk of misuse for patients, family members, friends, and guests.
