Artikelbeschreibung des Verkäufers

Paperback. An older adult with repeated falls, worsening memory, fatigue, weight loss, reduced mobility, medication problems, or frequent hospital visits may not have one isolated diagnosis. They may be living with frailty, heart failure, diabetes, kidney disease, dementia, chronic pain, depression, caregiver strain, and a gradual loss of function that can quickly become a loss of independence.In geriatric medicine, the challenge is not only identifying disease. It is understanding how multiple conditions interact, recognizing what is reversible, deciding what matters most now, and creating care plans that protect safety, function, dignity, and quality of life.Advanced Clinical Geriatrics Practice is a practical, clinically focused guide for medical students, residents, physicians, nurses, nurse practitioners, physician assistants, pharmacists, rehabilitation professionals, social workers, and healthcare trainees who want to manage complex older adults with greater confidence, structure, and clinical judgment.This book focuses on the real challenges faced in aging populations: frailty, multimorbidity, polypharmacy, falls, disability, cognitive decline, delirium, malnutrition, chronic pain, incontinence, sensory loss, depression, caregiver burden, repeated admissions, and difficult decisions about treatment intensity and long-term goals.Rather than treating each diagnosis separately, this guide shows how geriatric care works in real life. It helps readers assess the whole patient, identify reversible causes of decline, prioritize competing conditions, simplify medication regimens, preserve mobility, support caregivers, and build realistic plans that match the patient's daily abilities and values.Inside, readers will find practical guidance on: - Frailty assessment, sarcopenia, falls, disability prevention, and mobility preservation- Multimorbidity management when several chronic conditions compete for attention- Polypharmacy review, deprescribing, medication safety, and prevention of treatment-related harm- Dementia, delirium, depression, anxiety, and cognitive assessment in older adults- Management of heart failure, diabetes, COPD, kidney disease, arthritis, and other chronic illnesses in later life- Nutrition, pain, sleep, continence, sensory loss, and other major geriatric syndromes- Functional assessment, rehabilitation planning, hospital-to-home transitions, and long-term care coordination- Communication with patients, families, caregivers, and interdisciplinary care teams- Advance care planning, goals-of-care discussions, palliative support, and end-of-life decision-makingWhat makes this book valuable is its realistic clinical focus. Older adults often do not present with textbook symptoms. Infection may appear as confusion. Medication toxicity may appear as falls. Heart failure may appear as fatigue, poor appetite, or loss of mobility. A minor illness can become a major setback when frailty and chronic disease are already present.Good geriatric care requires balance. More medication is not always better. More testing is not always safer. Aggressive treatment may not always improve the outcome that matters most to the patient.Advanced Clinical Geriatrics Practice helps readers develop the judgment to manage illness while protecting independence, comfort, dignity, and meaningful daily function.Whether you are preparing for clinical rotations, entering residency, working in primary care, hospital medicine, nursing, rehabilitation, long-term care, or community health, this book provides a clear and practical foundation for complex geriatric decision-making.
