Geriatrics/Special Populations - PSAP-V, Book 4 |
 |
With the increasing age of the population, it is becoming more and more critical for practicing pharmacists to have expertise in the care of geriatric patients and the issues facing them. Geriatrics/Special Populations, the newest book in ACCP's Pharmacotherapy Self-Assessment Program, offers the most up-to-date information in the pharmacotherapy of common geriatrics conditions and those affecting special populations. Through a series of three modules, the book covers a wide range of topics involving geriatric patients, including content on pharmacokinetics in the elderly, urinary incontinence and bowel disorders, chronic disease management, pressure ulcers, health and public policy, and falls prevention. Recognizing the importance of providing quality pharmaceutical care to other special populations in addition to the geriatric population, topics on women's health, men's health, palliative care, and cultural competence are included.
This book is designed to help pharmacists::
- Evaluate the drug regimen of an elderly patient for potential drug-related problems associated with drug pharmacodynamics and pharmacokinetics.
- Justify appropriate non-pharmacological and pharmacologic therapies for functional bowel disorders in the elderly.
- Develop strategies for the selection and evaluation of pharmacotherapy for chronic diseases in the elderly.
- Design a patient-specific approach for the use of wound care products (cleansing, debridement, and dressings) with regard to wound characteristics.
- Compose a plan using available resources for an elderly patient to gain access to his or her prescriptions.
- Develop an appropriate plan to prevent falls in an elderly individual.
- Design the best contraceptive management plan for a patient after assessing the contraindications, benefits, risks, and therapeutics uses of various contraceptive options and how they relate to patient-specific factors.
- Construct appropriate treatment plans for patients with disorders of the prostate, androgen deficiency, and erectile dysfunction.
- Determine viable alternatives and resources to implement cultural competency within the workplace.
- Design a therapeutic plan with attention to economic, practical, and patient-specific factors for the most common physical and psychiatric symptoms occurring in the palliative care setting.
