Caring for the Geriatric Patient

The aging process can become a very challenging time in a person's life. Geriatric patients may have psychologic, sociologic, and physical changes resulting from aging, and it is often difficult for the aging person to understand and accept the changes that are taking place, to maintain a positive level of functioning for as long as possible, and to compensate for ongoing losses. Age-sensitive practice is crucial and will continue to grow more important as the nation's demographic shifts and life expectancy increases.
