About the Course
This course provides a comprehensive overview of diabetes for nurses practicing in a variety of settings to provide safe, evidence-based care. With this knowledge, nurses can assist patients with diabetes in learning successful self-management practices and becoming more aware of resources to help reduce the risk of long-term complications, thus improving their quality of life. Effective self-management requires that nurses learn the body of knowledge relevant to the disease state, weigh the benefits and risks of various medication options, understand a range of interventions/treatments that improve diabetes outcomes, and help patients develop skills (both physical and behavioral) to support these choices. With the management of diabetes becoming increasingly involved, keeping up to date on new treatment options and standards is critical as nurses play a major role in diabetes prevention, care, and management.

Nurse Practitioner’s Guide to Prescribing Controlled Substances – Focus on Opioids – N19225
Course expiration date: 8/24/2021
Appropriate prescribing practices are critical for all medications, but drugs that are considered controlled substances require additional attention. The Drug Enforcement Agency (DEA), along with the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), all have a role in determining the scheduling of prescription medications. As prescribers, it is critical that nurse practitioners understand not only federal but state requirements for prescribing all controlled substances. In addition, inappropriately prescribing opioids, resulting in their misuse and abuse, has led to many changes, including new safety and quality recommendations that must be considered. This course will provide a general review of federal and state controlled substance regulations and the prescribing of all controlled substances in general, as well as focus on clinical and safety considerations when prescribing opioid medications for acute and chronic pain not related to cancer.

Older Adult Immunizations: A Public Health Priority – N19044
Course expiration date: 7/3/2021
Age-related illnesses are a growing economic and societal burden in the United States (US) and contribute up to 50,000 deaths annually. Ninety-five percent of these fatalities occur in the adult population. Since the development of vaccines for illness prevention and the focus on pediatric population protection, morbidity and mortality rates have declined. This has improved overall public health and has decreased resource utilization and associated costs. However, while the goals to achieve pediatric immunizations have largely been met, the adult population over age 60 has fallen significantly short of reaching national objectives for all 15 recommended vaccines. In 2010, the impact of adult hospitalization and treatment alone for four preventable disease entities, including influenza, pneumonia, herpes zoster, and pertussis, have contributed to care costs in the US that have neared $15 billion. Through a multi-faceted approach that focuses on access to care and prevention through aggressive immunization practices, benefits to our senior population can be met.
