The Tough Cases: Handling Clinical Challenges

Learn how to help patients with diverse clinical challenges including weight loss plateau, as well as helping patients who may struggle with reducing blood pressure and/or blood glucose despite dietary changes.

Participants are expected to watch the video, reflect on its content, and complete the CEU self-assessment and CEU evaluation. Only upon completing this process will a participant's continuing education certificate be generated. The estimated time a learner will need to complete this self-study activity is 75 minutes.

This activity is approved for continuing education for physicians, nurses, and dietitians. The George Washington University School of Medicine and Health Sciences designates this enduring activity for a maximum of 1.25 AMA PRA Category 1 Credit(s)™. Physicians should claim only the credit commensurate with the extent of their participation in the activity.

Objectives:

• Describe steps to help patients move past a weight loss plateau.
• Learn strategies for blood pressure reduction in those who have already made diet changes.
• Explain the clinical approach to elevated blood glucose for a patient already following a plant-based diet.

Requirements for successful completion: Participants will be awarded contact hours commensurate with participation after completion of the post-test with a score of 70% or higher.
