Older adults rarely arrive with just one problem. A fall may involve medication effects, frailty, cognition, and the realities of living at home. A treatment that helps one condition may complicate another.

Geriatric Medicine in Practice helps practicing clinicians work through those decisions with a clear view of the whole person. Across 26 case-based chapters, Clifford B. Todd connects clinical assessment with function, treatment burden, caregiver support, and what matters most to the patient.

Inside you’ll find:

Practical approaches to falls, delirium, dementia, pain, nutrition, and polypharmacy
Guidance for decisions involving cardiovascular disease, diabetes, kidney disease, infection, and cancer
Clinical cases, decision diagrams, and tables that clarify assessment and follow-up
Chapters on hospital care, rehabilitation, long-term care, and transitions between settings
Frameworks for capacity, surrogate decisions, advance care planning, and palliative care

Written for clinicians across outpatient, hospital, emergency, rehabilitation, and long-term care settings, this illustrated US-focused textbook offers a structured way to ask: What changed, what matters to this patient, and what plan can be carried out?
