Symptoms can include mood lability\, depression\, delusions\, psychosis and paranoia. Behaviors can include poor self-care\, inappropriate voiding and poor social skills. \nThe faculty for this session will cover these behaviors and examine how the pain and agitation can best be treated and how medications\, as well as behavioral intervention\, can help. This seminar will answer the questions: How do you assess the causes of agitation? How do you use behavioral techniques to alleviate agitation? How do you utilize medications for pain and other physical symptoms? \nLearning Outcomes \nAt the conclusion of this presentation\, the participant will be able to: \n\nDescribe the common causes of agitation in dementia\nIdentify behavioral techniques to address the causes of agitation without sedation\nAssess medication effects.\n\n  \nFaculty \nElizabeth Landsverk\, MD\, Founder\, ElderConsult Geriatric Medicine \nTarget Audience \nCare providers and administrators in hospitals\, skilled nursing facilities\, assisted living communities and programs\, dementia care homes\, independent senior living\, home health and hospice agencies\, PACE\, adult medical day care. \nContinuing Education Accreditation Statement \nNew Jersey State Nurses Association Accreditation Statement HRETNJ is an approved provider of continuing nursing education by the New Jersey State Nurses Association\, an accredited approver by the American Nursing Credentialing Center’s Commission on Accreditation.
