Assist With Medication Course
What will I learn?
Improve your skills with our Assist with Medication Course, specially made for those working with older folks. Learn how to talk to patients and build their trust, so you can properly teach elderly patients how to take their medicine. Get to know the basics of pharmacology, understanding how drugs work, what types there are, and how they interact with each other. Learn the right way to give medication, including when to give it, how much to give, and how to give it. Look into pharmacology for older people, knowing how age changes things and when people are taking many medicines at once (polypharmacy). Make sure you're doing things the right way when writing things down and keeping medicine safe, so you don't make mistakes and can handle any bad effects.
