Due to the content of this activity, I will change my practice patterns by:

	Encourage methods to reduce risk factors for patients.
	Provide Education to those that are at high risk.
	Encourage providers to reduce risk facts
	My practice patterns will not change
	Other

Continuing education implies quality improvement in behavior. As part of our quality improvement process, NAMCP/AAMCN will contact you 6 months from your post test submission to monitor change.
