full-color case-based guide to the principles and clinical aspects
of geriatric care 4 STAR DOODY'S REVIEW! "It is intended as a
case-based textbook of geriatrics that also integrates the
complexities of geriatric medicine into a meaningful whole. These
are excellent objectives, all met in a wonderful way. This book
stands out from other textbooks of geriatric medicine....This is a
brilliant addition to the literature of geriatric medicine. Some
topics are covered in different ways, but this is never
repetitious, rather more like looking at a gem from different
angles. The evidence-based, case-based, pre-test, post-test format
makes this an ideal book from which to learn. The breadth and depth
are stunning. The editing and format would be enough to highly
recommend this book, but the beautiful use of color on every page,
permitting lavish illustrations, tables, figures, and examples of
tests, makes this at the same time a brilliant exposition of the
true nature of geriatric medicine, and a work of art as well. Run,
do not walk, to see it!"--Doody's Review Service Case-Based
Geriatrics utilizes a case-and-evidence-based approach to help you
understand the key principles and clinical points of geriatric
medicine and healthcare. Written to reflect the field's growing
trend toward interdisciplinary collaboration, the book is of value
not only to physicians, but to the entire health team involved in
the care of the elderly. This unique text is constructed around
case presentations, which are used as the primary teaching tool.
These cases reflect issues and principles of geriatrics that are
encountered and practiced worldwide. You will learn how cultural
characteristics of both patients and providers have added new
layers of complications to this already challenging field - and how
they can be recognized and overcome. Each case is directly linked
to the learning objectives found in each chapter. Review questions
appear at the beginning and end of each chapter to test your
understanding. Case-Based Geriatrics is divided into three
sections: Issues in Aging -- features foundational chapters
covering essential topics such as biology of aging, worldwide
demographics, the geriatric physical exam, sensory changes in
aging, and approaches to laboratory testing and imaging in aging
Inter-professional Geriatrics -- provides an overview of
multi-professional team care and covers important topics such as
pre -and-post operative care, discharge planning and transitional
care, end-of-life care, home care, and long-term care Geriatric
Syndromes and Important Issues -- covers common disorders such as
delirium, dementia, depression, stroke, hypertension, osteoporosis,
and more
