A case report: special needs of hospitalized elders
Abstract:
A case report is used to discuss common problems and complications of hospitalized elders. The report also illustrates the need for proactive hospital staff who are knowledgeable about the special needs of the aging population if this group is to be cared for successfully. The geriatric resource nurse model involves informal unit-based education aimed at expanding staff nurses' geriatric knowledge and is one of several models sponsored by the Hartford Foundation to improve care of the hospitalized elderly. Teaching rounds between geriatric resource nurses and advanced practice nurses are a primary feature of this model.
