Identifier: fmdwzcis8A staff must protect the clients and prevent abuse and neglect. This course defines verbal, sexual, physical, financial, and emotional abuse. It also discusses neglect as a form of abuse. It addresses the staff question, “What if I have offered care and the resident refuses?” The course discusses barriers to care and supporting clients that are resistant to care. Learners demonstrate whether staff or clients have more power in various situations and identify situations that may lead to abuse. The learner also identifies whether strategies in challenging situations lead to a positive or negative result. The course makes it clear that abusing a client is never okay.
This course discusses what urinary incontinence is, what some of the factors associated with urinary incontinence are, what fecal incontinence is, what some of the factors associated with fecal incontinence are, the impact incontinence can have on a client, the impact that cognitive impairment can have on a client’s ability to remain continent and how staff can support each client to achieve the optimal continence ability.
In this course we discuss staff and client safety and watch a video about how to use a fire extinguisher. Learners demonstrate the proper sequence of P.A.S.S. steps for using a fire extinguisher through a simulation exercise. Staff match the correct words with the REACT acronym. Staff learn about room evacuation techniques that keep themselves and residents safe. The REACT acronym that informs learners what to do and when during a fire emergency is reviewed.
Learners interact with the content to learn why people fall and the consequences. Learners interact with an exercise to match risks with causes of falls. Another exercise requires learners to select reasons for falls. Additional causes for falls are identified. Learners indicate whether a factor is a fall risk or a prevention strategy.
Proper hand hygiene is a very important routine practice for controlling the spread of pathogens. This course starts with “How to Hand Wash” and “How to Hand Rub” videos from Public Health Ontario. Learners review visuals for each step and an acronym so they remember each step and the order. Learners are required to put each hand-rubbing step in the correct order. This is repeated for hand washing. An exercise reviewing the parts of the hand that typically get missed more frequently is interacted with. Learners also review the When? And Why? of each of the “4 Moments for Hand Hygiene”. Hand hygiene best practice tips finish this course.
This course studies the chain of transmission based on information from Public Health Ontario. Learners click through the six links in the chain of transmission to learn what each one is, then again to see how COVID-19 fits into the links, then the most important part - controlling for and breaking each link. Learners complete an interactive exercise that matches items with the appropriate link in the chain of transmission.
In this course, learners will review: pharmacological and non-pharmacological interventions for pain, what staff should be looking for that may indicate a client is in pain, what staff can do to help a client that is experiencing pain, some of the challenges and barriers for clients to manage pain, some common misconceptions about pain, some of the consequences of unresolved pain, and different types of pain. Learners answer true/false questions and are provided with the correct answers. Learners also review the HELP acronym (help, encourage, learn, provide) and complete an interactive exercise to reinforce knowledge transfer.
This course discusses: the difference between palliative care and end of life care, how staff can support palliative residents and their loved ones, signs that death is imminent, the impacts that the death of a resident may have on staff, and coping strategies for staff. Learners watch a video explaining dying with dignity. Learners also learn how they can support palliative residents and their loved ones in that challenging time.
This course defines what a personal assistance services device is. It also discusses that PASDs keep clients independent, safe and contribute to a higher quality of life.
In this course, the learner will review: why pressure injuries occur, how the skin breaks down, factors that increase the risk for skin breakdown, the high risk areas for skin breakdown, what to look for, what staff can do to support clients from experiencing skin breakdown, and what staff should do if they notice a pressure injury or skin breakdown on a client.
This course starts by training learners on how to navigate and interact with the content. Learners are given answers to the question “How will this education benefit me?” The concept of clients of “home” is discussed. Learners are given a quick preview of the content in the curriculum and summarizes the curriculum by explaining providing home care is a “shared experience” and that staff have the power to influence clients in a positive way so that all have a better experience together.
We all behave in response to internal and external triggers. This course explains how external triggers in a client’s environment and internal triggers will result in client’s responsive behaviours – either positive or negative. These factors can be addressed and changed – by staff. This course identifies some possible responsive behaviours and staff complete an exercise defining responsive behaviours. Staff match resident triggers with supportive strategies to remove the triggers. Supportive strategies and best practice tips are presented to the learner. Communication approaches are also presented to help staff prevent or minimize responsive behaviours/
Putting on or “donning” and taking off or “doffing” personal protective equipment (PPE) properly prevents staff from pathogens and spreading pathogens. This course includes videos on putting on and removing surgical masks properly, putting on a cone n95 respirator and taking off a cone n95 respirator. Learners are required to drag and drop donning icons in the correct order. If they are correct, they skip the donning demonstration. Learners watch a video on taking off full PPE. They are then required to drag and drop doffing icons in the correct order. Again, if they are correct, they skip the doffing demonstration. Learners review donning and doffing education sheets.
This course is intended for Self-Collection drop-off locations. The drop-off location is the identified Health Information Custodian and acts as the Ordering Clinician for the submission of the patient lab test order into the Ontario Laboratories Information System - OLIS.

The last person to be imprisoned for homosexuality in Canada was Everett George Klippert. This controversial decision leads directly to the Criminal Law Amendment Act (Bill C-150). It is an omnibus bill that, among other things, decriminalizes gay sex. However, the struggle continued.
In America, on June 28, 1969, police raided the Stonewall Inn, a popular Greenwich Village bar catering to LGBTQ+ customers. Decades of escalating, state-sanctioned harassment led officers to expect everyone to leave quietly as usual. But if that had happened, it wouldn’t have made history.
Decades of oppression of the LGBTQ+ community, cultural shifts in the 1960s, and good troublemaking became a catalyst for change and a symbol for LGBTQ+ rights that evolved into today’s Pride festivals and marches. This course explores the key events and personalities in North America that ultimately shaped a global movement.

Topic: Platelets from 13-lined Ground Squirrels are Resistant to Cold Storage Lesion
Presented by:
Dr. Scott Cooper
Professor of Biology at the University of Wisconsin-LaCrosse
Abstract: Hibernating ground squirrels have dramatically decreased heart rates (3-5 beats per minute) and blood flow, which should put them at risk of forming blood clots. In response, they have several adaptations during hibernation that prevent blood clotting, including 3-fold decreases in Factors VIII (FVIII) and IX (FIX), and 10-fold decreases in von Willebrand factor (vWF), neutrophils, and platelets. Ground squirrel platelets are resistant to in vivo and in vitro cold storage lesions and are not rapidly cleared after transfusion. This could be due to a combination of altered signaling pathways, resistance to cold-induced cellular damage, and interactions with extracellular factors. This research is pioneering the use proteomic and metabolomic techniques to determine how ground squirrel platelets are resistant to cold storage lesions in platelets and could lead to medical advances to treat thrombocytopenia, store human platelets in the cold for transfusions, and regulate blood coagulation in cases of accidental or induced hypothermia.

Topic: Novel Roles of Platelets in Infection and Inflammation
Presented by
Dr. Robert A. Campbell
Associate Professor of Medicine at the University of Utah
Abstract:
I have concentrated my research effort on dissecting the mechanisms underpinning how cells alter coagulation under normal and disease situations, as well as determining how hemostasis and thrombosis, in turns, alters cellular response during inflammation. In particular, I have focused on understanding the regulation of transcription and translation in megakaryocyte and platelets under health and disease. To accomplish these goals, I have developed in vitro and in vivo model systems to examine gene and protein expression in megakaryocytes and platelets. We have elucidated novel mechanisms regulating megakaryocyte and platelet function and activation under normal homeostasis, including translational control mechanism regulated by microRNAs. We have also discovered that platelets and megakaryocytes possess novel intrinsic host defense mechanisms in addition to their ability to respond to inflammatory signals that induce robust changes in gene and protein expression. We have also demonstrated these changes in gene expression alter thrombo‐inflammatory responses, which often occur in the setting of aging and in the context of stroke. We also have extensively studied platelet interactions with other cells including neutrophils and monocytes and how these interactions alter platelet and leukocyte responses. In addition, my laboratory has significant experience dissecting molecular pathway in platelets, which regulate thrombosis using murine model systems. This includes in vivo models of thrombosis such as venous thrombosis, pulmonary embolism, and ischemic stroke. In these studies, we have used state‐of‐the‐art technologies including RNA‐seq to examine the transcriptional changes in platelets and megakaryocytes from mice to uncover novel genes critical for platelet responses during inflammation and thrombosis.

You’ve probably heard the word “diversity” pretty frequently both in and out of the workplace, but are you confident you understand what it means and how it might impact your life?
Diversity—along with the complementary concepts of equity, and inclusion—impact your wellbeing, regardless of your background. Having a firm grasp on these terms is essential not only for a healthy workplace, but ultimately a healthier way of living.
This course will introduce you to diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI). By the time you’ve finished this course, you’ll be better equipped to understand the importance of DEI and take action to support diversity initiatives in the workplace.
Topics covered in this introductory course include how we’re socialized in the world, how biases form, and how these factors affect how we think and act—and feed into various systems of oppression. By the end of this course, you will:
1. Have a basic understanding of key DEI concepts.
2. Recognize how your specific background fits into the society you live in.
3. Know how to contribute to promoting diversity, equity and inclusion in the workplace.
Understanding diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) is essential to creating a healthier community. But once you’ve grasped the conceptual elements of DEI, how do you put them into practice? And how can you apply your knowledge to your unique community?
In this course, you’ll learn how the stories we tell ourselves impact our well-being. You’ll discover the power of the narratives we tell as individuals, within social groups, and through institutions, and you’ll explore ways to counter these narratives through specific examples and exercises. By the end of this course, you will know how to:
1. Create space for diverse perspectives and critique current power structures.
2. Navigate the ambiguity and complexity that come with multiple perspectives.
3. Take action to promote equity and justice.
When it comes to innovation, creativity, and problem-solving, research consistently shows that diverse workforces perform better. But, for diversity to work, every employee must feel included. They need to have a seat at the table and know that they and their opinions matter.
So, how do you ensure that all employees—regardless of who they are—feel like they can be their true selves at work? In this course, we’ll first define what’s meant by diversity, inclusion, and belonging. You’ll then learn how to attract and retain diverse talent through belonging moments, allyship, and ongoing quantification.
