Full Description
This exam evaluates the types and frequency of adverse drug reactions (ADRs) in elderly patients and strategies for risk assessment and management. It focuses on the specific vulnerabilities of older adults to drug-related complications.
Identifying and mitigating ADRs is essential in geriatric pharmacotherapy, as the elderly population is at increased risk due to polypharmacy and altered pharmacokinetics. Understanding these risks directly impacts patient safety and treatment efficacy.
Candidates will demonstrate their ability to articulate key concepts related to ADRs, discuss risk factors, and propose effective management strategies for older adults experiencing drug reactions.
This examination will incorporate case studies illustrating real-world scenarios in which adverse drug reactions occur and how to address them.
Sample Questions
- What are the common adverse drug reactions seen in elderly patients?
- How can healthcare providers assess the risk of adverse drug reactions in older adults?
