Descrizione dell’articolo da parte del venditore

Paperback. If you need a clear, clinically grounded resource for understanding the complex medical needs of aging patients, this textbook gives you a structured path through the core principles of geriatric practice. Essential Principles of Geriatric Medicine is written for medical students, residents, nurses, allied health professionals, and clinicians who need a practical reference for the evaluation and management of older patients. It connects aging biology with real-world bedside problems, helping readers understand why illness presents differently in later life and how function, cognition, medications, social support, and goals of care shape clinical decisions. Rather than treating aging as a simple list of diseases, this book presents geriatric medicine as an integrated discipline. It explains how reduced physiologic reserve, multimorbidity, frailty, atypical presentation, and treatment burden affect diagnosis and management. The result is a practical, educational resource for readers who want to think more clearly about older patients in hospitals, clinics, long-term settings, and community-based practice. Inside, you will learn how to: Understand the biology of aging and the loss of physiologic reserveApply comprehensive geriatric assessment across medical, functional, cognitive, psychological, and social domainsRecognize atypical and nonspecific disease presentations in aging patientsApproach frailty, sarcopenia, falls, delirium, dementia, polypharmacy, incontinence, wounds, nutrition, infections, and common comorbiditiesUse structured reasoning for safer prescribing, deprescribing, care transitions, palliative planning, capacity, ethics, and elder advocacyBuild patient-centered care plans that balance clinical evidence with independence, comfort, safety, and personal goalsThe book also emphasizes practical clinical judgment: distinguishing aging from disease, identifying change from baseline, avoiding medication-related harm, and adapting decisions to each person's function, priorities, and setting.With detailed chapters, clinical pearls, practical explanations, and integrated assessment frameworks, this book supports deeper understanding of geriatric medicine without reducing older patients to age alone. Use it as a clinical learning companion, professional reference, or structured textbook for building confidence in the care of aging adults. This item is printed on demand.
