Product Description
The Nutrition Support Certificate was produced in collaboration with the American Society for Parenteral and Enteral Nutrition (ASPEN). This self-guided program consists of eleven modules comprised of online home study activities, providing 19.25 hours of continuing education for pharmacists, physicians, and nurses.
The program incorporates recorded presentations, readings, and exercises in curricular modules. Each activity is designed to assess the learners’ ability to understand, analyze, and apply materials relevant to nutrition support practice. The program covers malnutrition, nutritional requirements for adult patients receiving nutrition support, a review of best practices for ordering, access, preparation and administration of nutrition support, an overview of potential complications that could result from enteral or parenteral nutrition, as well as ongoing monitoring and error reporting. After completing all of the modules, participants should be proficient in fundamental concepts related to nutrition support care for adult patients.
Professional Certificate Requirement
Once a learner has successfully completed the educational curriculum, he/she will have the opportunity to complete a 100-question comprehensive exam. If the learner successfully completes the exam (minimum 80% passing rate; multiple attempts permitted), he/she earns the professional certificate.
