The increase in older people in society demands not only adequate medical care but also professional nursing support to manage the often chronic age-related diseases. This volume presents geriatric patient cases in geriatric treatment settings with varying degrees of complexity. It addresses, among other things, the clinical care of individuals with dementia, stroke, and chronic heart failure, as well as issues related to falls, pressure ulcers, and pain. Current background material based on the latest nursing science findings is provided for learners in training and education, as well as for educators in nursing, to facilitate case understanding and evidence-based care in geriatrics.
