OVERVIEW AND INSTRUCTIONS
When your patient tells you she has Lupus, she is probably referring to Systemic Lupus Erythematosus (SLE). SLE is a chronic autoimmune disease which can cause widespread damage to the body. The severity of the disease can range from mild to life threatening. As with other autoimmune diseases the goal of treatment is management of symptoms. This can be a challenge as symptoms may affect multiple systems and the medications used for treatment may have serious side effects. Fortunately, there are a variety of lifestyle therapies which may also provide relief from the symptoms of SLE and other autoimmune diseases. The challenge for Registered Dietitian Nutritionists (RDNs) is to be aware of what symptoms the patient is experiencing, what treatments are being used, their potential side effects and the lifestyle modifications to minimize symptoms and adverse side effects. This program will provide background information on SLE, traditional medications used for its symptomatic management and present nutritional and complementary alternative treatments (CATS) reputed to provide symptomatic relief. Practitioner training requirements and clinical trial information will be included to help the reader make an informed opinion about the efficacy of various treatment options. Since stress is often a trigger for SLE and other autoimmune diseases, "Stress Breaks" will be included throughout this learning program. Feel free to try them yourself and/or share them with patients, family and friends. This CPE self-study program is a level 2 Continuing Professional Education (CPE) program approved for nine continuing professional education units (CPEUs). That means that the reader has general knowledge of literature and professional practice in the area covered. The focus of the program is to enhance knowledge and application.
To get the most benefit from this program, we suggest you adhere to the following four steps:
Step 1: Review the objectives for the CPE program.
Step 2: Study each chapter. As you read, think of patients from your own practice that fit the situation described.
Step 3: Assess what you have learned by completing the self-assessment instrument at the end of this CPE program.
Step 4: Compare your answers to the answer key that has been provided. If you score at least 80% (40 questions) correct, you are ready to transfer your answers to the CONTINUING PROFESSIONAL EDUCATION REPORTING FORM. If you scored less than 80% correct, re-read this CPE program until you score at least 80% correct.
