DESCRIPTION
Assessing Decision-making Capacity in Persons with Aphasia. Life-altering decisions often mark and significantly shape a patient’s rehabilitation process. The complex choices patients, families and rehabilitation clinicians face frequently give rise to profound ethical considerations, particularly around the question of who should ultimately make these important decisions. At the crux of such dilemmas lies an important question: does the patient have decision-making capacity (DMC)? Although there is no definitive test, DMC is typically evaluated using a semi-structured interview approach that assesses patients’ alertness, orientation, ability to communicate a choice, understanding of relevant information, appreciation of the situation and ability to rationally manipulate information. However, aphasia presents a significant challenge to DMC assessment as persons with aphasia commonly experience impairments in comprehension and expression that can interfere with the exchange of accurate information and mask underlying DMC. In this webinar, we use a multidisciplinary approach to explore core aspects of DMC evaluations, challenges conducting DMC evaluations in persons with aphasia and techniques to support valid DMC evaluations for persons with aphasia.

      My husband had throat cancer approximately 5 years ago. Treated with chemo and radiation. The radiation burned his saliva glands. This really helps him keep moisture in his mouth. I have it on an auto delivery every 6 weeks (pack of 6)

      Part of my daily routine for radiation caused dry mouth
      Size: 1.5 Ounce (Pack of 5)
      This product and xylitol lozenges by xylimelt plus taping my mouth closed as night for sleep make for a comfortable solution to my radiation induced dry mouth condition. Recommended.

      Works better than expected.
      Size: 1 count (Pack of 1)
      I really wish this was, like, a gel for running or something because the flavor is really tasty. Not too sweet, but flavorful enough to make sure you use it. It's a nice orange flavor that doesn't taste medicinal. I applied to the front and back of my teeth only and it lasted half the night. Quickly applied more and it lasted the rest of the night. I'm probably applying way too little but I genuinely just tried it so I'm not used to it yet.
