Identifying causative factors that may precipitate a behavioral response such as a catastrophic reaction is important for caregivers in the process of preventing and/or addressing behaviors in residents. A catastrophic reaction is not uncommon when direct care staff initiate interventions to discourage disruptive behaviors however, how these interventions are initiated can and often be the precipitating factor to the reaction. This program will assist in identifying ways to prevent catastrophic reactions. This 30 minute program was developed to assist you in ensuring that the care you provide meets best practices.
