This self study course is well done as it requires a full and thorough reading of the Appendix PP, which gives detailed guidance for surveyors in just about every situation that may arise in a facility. RDNs would benefit from this course because an adequate review of the appendix would enable the RDN to properly handle situations, provide quality care to residents and face each survey with confidence instead of dread.

Use of cannabis, medically and for recreational use, continues to be a thriving industry. This course presents the topic from the perspective of a dietitian looking to learn more about this substance and health implications with cannabis use. The case study provides a good CPE program for the provider to better understand how this practice might influence their own patient population, particularly with cardiovascular disease, to provide better patient care.

This CPE course encourages RDNs and NDTRs to continue to demonstrate their value as a part of the interdisciplinary team and to assert themselves into becoming a leader within their facilities and workplaces.

As a long-time provider of nutrition services to long term care facilities, I see firsthand the implications of a good nutrition care plan. Facilities that prioritize nutrition and nutrition interventions decrease malnutrition, improve resident quality of life, and optimize reimbursement. In addition, CMS will not hesitate to penalize facilities where excessive weight loss, skin breakdown, and preventable hospital readmissions occur. This course provides a framework for creating an appropriate and effective nutrition focused QIP.

Ethics isn’t Optional: Understanding and Apply the Academy Code of Ethics is a course that provides current practical situations that a practitioner may find themselves in. The recommendations in managing the situation according to the Academy Code of Ethics is invaluable and would benefit anyone that takes this course.

This self-study course provides an overview of how to use the Code of Ethics along with several different areas where ethics could be in question along with solutions.

This program provides a well-rounded educational experience to encourage and promote a comprehensive understanding with MDS, specifically with section K.

The case studies are very reflective of actual day-to-day work in facilities. Coding Section K correctly requires thorough understanding of MDS-mandated interpretation of nutrition related events. This course provides opportunity for practice at the “nitty-gritty” level!

Diabetes in pregnancy is complex, so keeping up to date with current nutrition therapy for these conditions is essential to support people who are pregnant.

It is important (actually vital) for the RDN to understand where the research and science lands on the topic of nutrition and dementia. This self study course was a bit more complicated program than the norm since it was evaluating and understanding the research and gaps in the area of nutrition and prevention of dementia. I believe this will open the eyes of many dietitians out in practice, especially those promoting specific diets for the prevention of dementia.

This self-study course advances Type 2 diabetes management care by implementing exercise/activity goals based on current research along with healthy eating recommendations to improve blood glucose control and reduce complications.
