Training nurses to care for the elderly.

چکیده
Caring for the elderly is so wide a subject that to talk about every avenue open to the nurse would be quite unprofitable in a short article. I therefore wish to concentrate on the' hospital service which tends to treat elderly people who are either very ill or have social problems. There exists great confusion in the medical and nursing professions regarding the true definition of the term geriatrics. My own definition would be 'the whole medical, nursing and social care of persons of pensionable age'. This mayor may not include chronic sick but they must be in the pensionable age group.
