Diabetes is often a 'complicating factor' for patients undergoing rehab. Often, it's a condition that, as therapists and nurses, we think we already know enough about- but are we really providing the best, updated care to our patients who have Diabetes?
That's where 'Update your Care Plan- Diabetes' comes in!
This 3.5 Contact hour/0.35 CEU course provides you with:
- The most up to date research and breakthroughs on the topic of Diabetes
- The complications that a therapist/nurse should be aware of
- Focused, disease-specific goal-setting
- Interventions promoting health and functional outcomes
- Client-based labs and case studies
This information is not a typical, dry lecture - instead, it has been adapted to include interactive labs, practical techniques, immediately applicable skills, and expert-developed clinic tools that you can use to provide to your patients and caregivers!
