The Aging Individual with Developmentally Disabilities: Incontinence is Not a Normal<br />
Part of Aging<br />
Marilyn Holt, PT, MHS, GCS, LTC Support<br />
Track DD<br />
<strong>Health</strong>y strategies for successful aging should be available with adults with developmental disabilities. Compressing<br />
frailty and reducing falls can be accomplished with targeted interventions. Incontinence can be a contributor to falls,<br />
frailty and reduced social engagement. This session will explore incontinence evaluation and management.<br />
Culture Change for the Diabetic’s Diet<br />
Donna Manring, DTR, Maun-Lemke Speaking & Consulting, LLC<br />
Track DIET<br />
Research indicates long term care residents eat better when they are given a less restrictive diet of regular foods rather<br />
than a calorie-controlled diet. Physicians and clinicians may need education on the American Medical Directors<br />
<strong>Association</strong> (AMDA) or ADA that emphasizes the physician’s greater responsibility to control unacceptable blood<br />
glucose levels by pharmacological means and in consideration of the individual’s food consumption and activity level—<br />
not by an overly restrictive diet order.<br />

Would You Take a Drink Please? Combating Dehydration at the Front Line<br />
Diana Waugh, RN, BSN, Waugh Consulting<br />
Track CNA, NUR<br />
8:30 – 10 a.m. (<strong>1.5</strong> <strong>CEs</strong>)<br />
Perhaps the first line of defense against dehydration is to revisit the needs of your staff and set expectations that they will<br />
not be dehydration examples. This requires that there are fluids available to them as well as time for them to consume<br />
the fluids. Rewarding nurses who “skip lunch” or aides who “work right through their breaks” doesn’t demonstrate a<br />
true belief in combating dehydration. This session will look at ways to combat dehydration in both the residents and<br />
staff. How about asking “Would you take a drink, please” for starters? Attend this fact-and-fun filled session and see how<br />
to make hydration a win/win experience.<br />
