Geriatrics
The elderly has unique psychological, social, emotional, and physical needs that require nursing attention. Nurses who care for the elderly are usually involved in dealing with age related problems as well as treating chronic illnesses and some which are also related to the age. The main areas of involvement by geriatric nurses include preventing or delaying the onset of illnesses as well as working together with the families of the elderly in managing those with chronic illnesses.
