As FCNs we often encounter clients who are coping with  agingchanges that affect driving safety.  This can be a time of loss and a time of risk for these seniors.  In this session, you'll learn to assess changes that may present a risk and learn how to help your clients increase safety behind the wheel.  You'll learn what to do when it's no longer safe for someone to drive and how to help with emotional and spiritual care when these losses occur.

3 CE hours designed to meet the requirements of the MN Board of Nursing will be provided.  Please check with your licensing agency to be sure the CEs apply to your situation.
