Journal-based CE Activity Overall Goal:
The JPEN Editor, in concurrence with ASPEN’s Education and Professional Development Committee, selected this article to be offered for CE credit to fill an observed learning need in the arena of clinical nutrition and metabolism. This CE activity serves to promote the process of life-long learning for physicians, dietitians, pharmacists, and nurses by providing peer-reviewed journal articles that fully qualify for continuing education credits.

Goal and Target Audience:
This educational activity is directed toward clinical nutrition and metabolism professionals and others who wish to update their knowledge of clinical nutrition and metabolism. By participating in this educational activity, the reader may expect to:

Acquire knowledge in the area of clinical nutrition and metabolism research.
Update or confirm your understanding of appropriate clinical nutrition and metabolism practices.
Identify further learning needs as they relate to the subject matter.

Learning Objectives:

Describe methodological challenges in investigating functional capacity as an endpoint in the critically ill population.
Identify the protein dose range associated with superior functional capacity in the intensive care unit (ICU).
Describe the strengths of the Chelsea Physical Assessment score (CPAx) as a tool for the assessment of functional capacity.
Identify groups, based on nutritional status and risk, that benefit the most from specific protein ranges.

Requirements for Successful Completion:

To obtain CE credit for this activity, attendees must read the journal article in its entirety, complete an online assessment for each article and achieve a score of 100%, and complete an online activity evaluation. All are located in ASPEN’s eLearning Center (www.nutritioncare.org/elearning). All CE credit must be claimed prior to the expiration date, no exceptions.

ASPEN submits data as required to the CPE Monitor for pharmacists. ASPEN submits physician earned CME credit into Pars. ASPEN does not submit data to any other credentialing organization.

Pharmacists and physicians, please note that ASPEN will upload earned CE credit into the appropriate system within the required timeframe. Any credit not claimed by the deadline will not be entered. Please provide your correct information when completing your evaluation and claiming CE credit.
