Introduction to geriatric nursing



Gerontology: science that studies the aging process in general,
Gerontological Nursing: means preventive care and health promotion specialist in the elderly

Geriatrics: branch of medicine that studies the acute and chronic diseases in the elderly both in its clinical, therapeutic, and social.
Geriatric Nursing: Nursing part that is responsible for the assessment, planning, implementation of nursing care for the elderly to meet their needs

In my opinion the nursing have an important role in geriatric. in this phase often of live, the person suffer a lot of changes. we, the nurses, must explain them the changes and thech how face them.
The part most important in our job with elderly people, I think is get their more posible independent.

Geriatrics is not just about healing, the most important thing is to look after the patient and know produce an overall assessment and increase in functionality to the elderly

What nursing is that we need to get the old man to be as independent as possible with the best quality of life that we can offer.

There are several situations in which care will be specific to each:
-          Healthy elderly: not suffering illness or social problems, mental or functional
-          Elderly sick: healthy or sick with an acute
-          Frail elderly: those with underlying diseases, can maintain their independence thanks to the family
-          Geriatric patient: has 3 or more of the following criteria: over 75 years, significant comorbidity, illness incapacitating main character, there is mental illness, social problems exist regarding their health

In short, is important in elderly realised a global geriatric evaluation for improve their quiality of live.
