Age-friendly nursing interventions in the management of older people in emergency departments
Abstract:
Older people are high users of emergency department services, and on presentation, are often acutely ill. Nurses working in the emergency department are at the forefront of dealing with these challenges, by providing care that is specifically tailored to meet the needs of the older population and reducing the risks of adverse health outcomes during their stay in the emergency department. The ideal age-friendly emergency department environment supports the strengths and abilities of the older person, protects them against harm, and empowers individuals and their carers to be actively involved in decision-making. This information sheet focuses on the best-available evidence on age-friendly nursing interventions in the management of older patients during their stay in emergency department.
