As our population continues to age, health professionals are being
called on to care for an ever-increasing number of elderly
patients. A thorough understanding of what constitutes normal aging
versus age-prevalent illness is essential. In addition, the
atypical and nonspecific presentation of illness commonly
encountered when caring for an older patient must be expected and
watched for carefully. In recent years, the health professional has
been exposed to an exponentially increasing number of publications
attempting to teach geriatric principles. To date, few publications
lend themselves to use by the busy practitioner, student, or nurse
in search of immediate facts, flow sheets, and clinically
applicable data. It was felt that the health professional would
benefit greatly from a book based on the concept of a
ready-reference "hand book," with chapters filled with tables, flow
sheets, and listings similar in scope to those in a well-presented
lecture series. Our goal was to create a geriatrics handbook that
would have value at the bedside as well as in the classroom. It is
to this end that the contributors dedicated their efforts."
