"Practical Guide to Geriatric Medicine" is a comprehensive guide to a range of medical conditions and pertinent topics to improve the quality of life of older people. The book adopts a practical, systematic approach, with easy access to medical and other problems of importance to the elderly. It covers: all the major clinical areas, including psychiatric problems; health promotion, home and family care, and rehabilitation; ethical dilemmas, including elder abuse, palliative care, and euthanasia; oral health and nutritional assessment; and sexuality. This is an excellent practical guide for general practitioners, geriatricians, medical and nursing professionals and medical students to expand their knowledge of issues in geriatric medicine.
