Geriatric Nursing

Longer life expectancy is a hallmark of the postmodern era. However, getting older does not always imply that you will live longer in excellent health. Primary health care services are frequently used by the elderly. Many elderly adults have health problems that don't necessitate hospitalization but require medication, dietary changes, special equipment (such as a blood sugar monitor or walker), daily workouts, or other adjustments. Geriatric staff nurses specialize in caring for the elderly. Geriatric nurses are trained to recognize and treat the physical and mental health requirements of the elderly.
