3rd ed. 2008 As in the previous second edition (titled Geriatric Nursing Protocols for Best Practice... American Journal of Nursing Geriatric Book of the Year in 2003), we present assessment and interventions for common geriatric syndromes. Geriatric syndromes are increasingly recognized as being related to preventable iatrogenic complications, or those that occur as a direct result of medical and nursing care, causing serious adverse outcomes in older patients (see chapter 11, Iatrogenesis). We are also very happy to present 13 new topics and several new expert contributors.Many of these topics have been updated from the protocols that appear on the Web site of The Hartford Institute for Geriatric Nursing at NYU (http://www.consultgerirn.org/). The new topics in this edition are as follows:
· Dementia
· Nutrition in Aging
· Managing Oral Hydration in Older Adults
· Oral Health Care
· Age-Related Changes in Health
· Sensory Changes
· Iatrogenesis: The Nurse's Role in Preventing Patient Harm
· Family Caregiving for Older Adults
· Comprehensive Assessment and Management of the Critically Ill Older Adult
· Fluid Overload: Identifying and Managing Heart Failure Patients at Risk for Hospital Readmission
· Cancer and the Older Patient: Assessment and Intervention Strategies for the Acute-Care Nurse
