The large number of medical prescriptions administered to patients today raises public health issues. At the heart of this 7-hour training course are facts that challenge our beliefs about drug administration. Between life-saving medication and iatrogenic consumption, nurses must use the latest evidence to exercise their field of practice to assess the effects of medication on patient health.
This training course provides the tools to tackle the issues and dangers raised by multiple medical prescriptions. Drug cascading, safe administration, informed consent, refusal of care and optimal use of medication are all issues raised in nursing practice in a context where half of the most prescribed drugs in Canada are to be deprescribed, because they are ineffective or even dangerous.
Make optimal use of medication by clearly identifying the issues related to the dangers of polymedication.
This ONLINE training with 6-month access is evidence-based. Very concrete, filmed interviews and case studies will be used. The training focuses on evaluation and safety monitoring.
This training course is specifically designed for nurses, nursing assistants, respiratory therapists, teachers and nursing managers.
General objective: Make optimal use of medication by clearly identifying the issues related to the dangers of polymedication.
