In this session, Dr. Campbell will answer and discuss the following questions:
- Is there ever a need for the use of antipsychotics in dementia care? If so, what and when?
- Are there symptoms or behaviour changes that respond to medications?
- What is the role of frontline staff when providing care to a person who is prescribed with antipsychotic or other medications?
- What are the changes that should be monitored or flagged in a person who is taking these medications?
- If any of these medications are not safe, what are the alternatives?
