Raising Awareness:
March 8-14, 2010 is Multiple Sclerosis awareness week. This is a great time to spread the word about this disease to your nursing assistants. Chances are, they provide care to clients who are affected by MS. To help you keep you CNAs "in the know", we just updated our inservice, "Understanding Multiple Sclerosis."
In this inservice, your aides will learn dozens of ways to help their clients with MS (such as helping with medications, nutrition, activity, comfort, and safety). They will also dive into some in-depth information about the disease to better understand what their clients are going through.
Read on to learn more about this newly updated inservice topic or click here to see a sample page.

After completing the inservice "Understanding Multiple Sclerosis," your aides will be able to:
- Describe how damaged myelin leads to the symptoms of MS.
- Name and describe the top ten symptoms of MS.
- Describe at least three complications to watch for with MS clients.
- Describ at leat 6 ways to help their MS clients stay safe and healthy.
- Demonstrate at least 3 ways to help their clients with MS through daily activities.

A Peek into the Inservice...
Key Points to Remember:
1. The symptoms of MS are caused by scarring (sclerosis) on the nerves of the central nervous system.
2. No one know what causes MS and there is currently NO cure.
3. Medication, physical therapy, exercise and a positive attitude go a long way in managing the most troublesome symptoms of multiple sclerosis.
4. Most people live a long time with MS. It's not considered a "fatal" disease.
5. Promising new research is underway every day to help slow and stop the progression of damage-and to prevent it from ever starting in the first place!

"I have found In the Know inservices to be a wealth of information readily available for teaching CNAs. The inservices include concise class objectives, handouts, tests and an evaluation tool. They also give useful websites that can be utilized that encompass the subject being taught. This material makes it so easy and fun to teach. Thank you!
