Malnutrition and Dehydration
This is an excellent malnutrition and dehydration lesson for group or self-study. Your learners will become familiar with the physical and chemical changes that affect the way the body absorbs nutrients from food, why the body needs fluids, and what substances the body needs every day to properly function. This thorough lesson will enable your staff to recognize symptoms associated with malnutrition and dehydration, and most importantly, they will become skilled in ways to encourage healthful eating and drinking to help prevent malnutrition and dehydration in your patients.

Medication Assistance Guidelines
Your facility can't risk mistakes when it comes to medication assistance. This lesson drives that message home by helping staff realize the importance of correct medication assistance and be aware of state regulations. Give your staff the best tools to help prevent medication errors. Fun activities illustrate the "5 Rights" and the 9 additional guidelines for medication assistance. Plus, it provides instruction for basic information about 3 common medications.

Rights, Restraints, and Confidentiality
People do not give up their rights of citizenship just because they enter a care facility and depend on others to do things for them. Our comprehensive lesson outlines exactly what residents' rights are, the rules and proper procedures for using restraints, and the vital role your staff plays in patient confidentiality. Plus, the plan incorporates engaging activities and useful tools your staff will actually use and enjoy.

Safety Guidelines: Preventing Staff and Resident Injuries
You can protect your residents and your staff with this excellent safety guideline lesson plan. Fun exercises help staff identify and correct safety hazards in your facility and become familiar with safety problems of the elderly. Clear instruction and demonstration teaches your staff how to prevent common accidents and injuries in your facility, such as falls and back injuries that result from improper lifting techniques. Since not all accidents can be prevented, we've included vital reporting and documentation instruction to properly respond to such incidents.
