Assist long-term care facilities in ensuring that psychotropic medications have a clear care plan for monitoring and dose reductions. Recognize the ways in which medications may affect cognition, assess the potential for medication side effects and plan for the evaluation and treatment of these issues. Evaluate and choose appropriate treatment options for patients with dementiaassociated psychiatric symptoms. Credit This program is not yet approved for CME credit.
