Answer 1

geriatric nurse or gerontological nurse is a type of nurse that helps care for aging and elderly individuals. They are trained to be able to perform traditional nursing duties, yet they also have special training that helps them better understand the special needs of many elderly people.

The geriatric assessment is a multidimensional, multidisciplinary assessment designed to evaluate an older person's functional ability, physical health, cognition and mental health, and socioenvironmental circumstances. It includes an extensive review of prescription and over the counter drugs, vitamins, and herbal products, as well as a review of immunization status. This assessment aids in the diagnosis of medical conditions; development of treatment and follow-up plans; coordination of management of care; and evaluation of long term care needs and optimal placement.

Because of the demands of a busy clinical practice, most geriatric assessments tend to be less comprehensive and more problem-directed. For older patients with many concerns, the use of a “rolling” assessment over several visits should be considered. The rolling assessment targets at least one domain for screening during each office visit. Patient-driven assessment instruments are also popular. Having patients complete questionnaires and perform specific tasks not only saves time, but also provides useful insight into their motivation and cognitive ability.

As assessment data are obtained, they need to be recorded to allow all members of the health care team to easily access the information. The family physician can generate a problem list that includes any condition or event requiring new or ongoing care; the medical, nutritional, functional, and social implications; and proposed interventions. This type of assessment allows older patients to benefit from an interdisciplinary team that is effectively assessing and actively managing their health care.
