Conventional medical diagnoses and treatments take on much greater complexity when applied to older patients. This volume provides a comprehensive profile of each issue facing the clinician treating patient population.
The author discusses geriatrics in general, emphasizing the legal, social, and biological aspects of aging, before addressing a range of specific topics, including hypertension, asthma, UTIs, bone disorders, cancer, oral health, skin problems, and incontinence. Elderly Medicine: A Training Guide even steers the reader through the business aspects of geriatric care, explaining how professionals can use information technology and consulting services.
