Assessment and treatment of acutely ill patients safely requires integrating the patient history with current lab values, diagnostic test results, and an understanding of how their current medications affect status. Therapists need to identify signs of patient instability and know how to modify or to terminate treatment when necessary and how to mobilize them safely and early. This course provides therapists with that knowledge with a goal of preventing or reversing the deconditioning often seen in the acute care and ICU setting. Case studies will be used for clinical problem solving in order to improve functional outcomes with multiple diagnoses commonly seen.
