Accreditation Statement In support of improving patient care, the National Home Infusion Association (NHIA) is jointly accredited by the Accreditation Council for Continuing Medical Education (ACCME), the Accreditation Council for Pharmacy Education (ACPE), and the American Nurses Credentialing Center (ANCC), to provide continuing education for the healthcare team.
Credit Designations This activity was planned by and for the healthcare team, and learners will receive 1.0 Interprofessional Continuing Education (IPCE) credit for learning and change.
Overview, Target Audience, and Learning Objectives PURPOSE PURPOSE: The purpose of this CE activity is: The prevalence of obesity has been steadily increasing, with a 28% rise worldwide in adults between 1980 and 2013. In the U.S., over one-third of adults are classified as obese, and projections suggest that up to 50% of the population may be obese by 2030. For individuals who are unable to achieve or sustain weight loss through other interventions, bariatric surgery (BS) is a viable option, particularly for those with a BMI of 40 kg/m or a BMI of 35 39.9 kg/m with at least one serious comorbidity. However, these procedures can lead to complications that may require specialized nutrition support during recovery. This article provides pharmacists, pharmacy technicians, nurses, and dietitians, with an overview of various bariatric surgical procedures, their mechanisms for achieving weight loss, and the potential complications that may compromise nutritional status. It also reviews the indications for nutrition support following BS, along with patient assessment strategiesand considerations for developing an effective care plan. TARGET AUDIENCE TARGET AUDIENCE: The professional audience for which this CE activity has been designed includes Pharmacists, Pharmacy Technicians, Nurses, and Dietitians. LEARNING OBJECTIVES LEARNING OBJECTIVES: The learning objectives for this activity are as follows: Differentiate between the different bariatric surgical procedures and how each works to effect weight loss. Understand the possible complications associated with bariatric surgical procedures and how they may affect a patient's ability to take in and/or absorb nutrients. List the conditions under which it is appropriate to consider parenteral nutrition (PN) in bariatric surgery patients. List the considerations for clinicians when creating a PN care plan for post-bariatric surgical patients.
