Geriatric Nursing
Geriatric nursing is the specialty that concerns itself with the provision of nursing services to geriatric or aged individuals. It is important to distinguish changes involved with normal aging from changes attributable to pathophysiology. Alterations in the structure and function of multiple body system may affect an older person appearance, mobility and ability to fight off infections. Geriatric medications need to be managed so as to avoid too much use of medicine since this group receives a lot of medication if poor care is taken. Nursing Resources
