Older adults are particularly susceptible to dehydration and the never-ending cascade of problems associated with it. When it comes to caring for these older adults, it’s crucial to be able to identify dehydration risks and symptoms and intervene as soon as possible. This webinar will shed light on the important areas to focus on when addressing the topic of hydration and will include best practices for successful patient interventions.
This free, on-demand webinar features not only the RD and SLP perspective on dehydration, but also includes guidance from a physician and an athletic training educator and researcher to detail how the principles of hydrating athletes can be easily transferable to hydrating the older adult.
Together with a range of highly experienced presenters in the field, learn about the specific fluid and electrolyte needs in older adults, the difference between underhydration and dehydration, and what the health consequences of either condition could be for an older adult. Explore the concept of frailty in older adults from the rehabilitation and athletic training perspective and explore a variety of practical intervention techniques, designed to fit the needs of your patients.
