Abstract: 

This is an interactive workshop style session. Based on a case discussion, students conceptualize the common clinical presentations onto a Venn diagram. The facilitator will take on the role of a family member and nurse, and students have the opportunity to practice obtaining a history that elicits distinguishing features, associated symptoms and time course for each of these cognitive disorders. Emphasizes the importance of getting the history from the family and interdisciplinary team. A Table of Distinguishing Features is completed by the end of the session. An assessment and plan that includes non-pharmacologic and pharmacologic interventions is elicited from the students. The session ends by asking students how they will communicate the plan of care to the family, thus emphasizing the importance of clear communication as a part of the intervention.

Comments

This looks great. I plan to use it with my family medicine residents. Thanks!

A concise way of summarizing the 3 D's. I plan to incorporate this information into the "3 D Card Sorting Activity" which I found on POGOe several years ago.

I plan to have my geriatrics fellow review it and present it as an inservice for our nurses and residents.
