Geriatric Cases: Falls, Delirium, and Polypharmacy

Older adult patients are presenting with higher levels of complexity as they age. Primary care providers need to be able to handle the intricacies that occur in caring for older adults as it is rarely just one problem addressed at one visit.

Learning Objectives

  • Discuss the risks of polypharmacy, delirium, and falls for older adults
  • Outline evidence-based interventions to reduce the risk of falling and prevent delirium
  • Describe which medications should be avoided among older adults and alternatives that clinicians can implement instead
