TOP 10 Geriatric Syndromes - Clinical Management StrategiesBy Lisa Byrd, PhD, CFNP

Understanding normal aging will assist in care of the older individual and understanding how these changes are

presented. This book will present many of the expected changes caused by normal aging and the Top Ten Geriatric Syndromes elders experience. These syndromes are a cascade of problems in an elder’s health and revolve around vision and hearing problems, elimination issues, dizziness, falls, and cognitive impairment, including delirium as well as dementia (such as Alzheimer’s disease). This easy to utilize, handbook format of treatment strategies will assist healthcare providers to better identify as well as diagnose when body changes signal disease in older adults.

GeriAtriC PHArMACoLoGy

Individuals aged 65 years and older comprise 13% of the U.S. population and that percentage is growing rapidly with the “Baby Boomers” now entering that category. Consequently, health care professionals are faced with an increasing need to understand the unique challenges associated with caring for older adults, including the complex realm of geriatric medications.

Join Steven Atkinson, PA-C, mS, for this comprehensive program rich with practical approaches to assessment and treatment, as well as current and relevant case studies. You will leave with a deeper understanding of the application of and the effects associated with a broad array of geriatric medicines, along with straightforward tools that will help you care for older adults receiving multiple medications.
