Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. GERIATRIC MEDICINE SIMPLIFIED is a practical clinical guide to the complex medical needs of older adults, designed to help healthcare professionals approach geriatric care with greater structure, clarity, and confidence.Caring for older patients requires more than applying disease-specific guidelines. Frailty, multimorbidity, polypharmacy, cognitive impairment, functional decline, sensory loss, social circumstances, and changing goals of care can dramatically influence diagnosis, treatment tolerance, prognosis, and recovery. This book brings these elements together into a coherent clinical framework focused on the realities of everyday geriatric practice.Rather than treating aging as a collection of isolated diseases, GERIATRIC MEDICINE SIMPLIFIED emphasizes how medical conditions interact with function, physiologic reserve, independence, medication burden, and patient priorities. Readers are guided through assessment, clinical reasoning, risk recognition, treatment planning, monitoring, and decisions about when additional support or escalation is required.Inside, readers will find practical coverage of: Comprehensive geriatric assessment, frailty, resilience, and functional reserveFunctional decline, mobility limitations, falls, gait disorders, dizziness, orthostatic hypotension, and continence problemsCognitive assessment, dementia, delirium, depression, anxiety, sleep disorders, and behavioral symptomsSafe prescribing, polypharmacy, medication review, and deprescribingCardiovascular, respiratory, endocrine, renal, musculoskeletal, and chronic pain management in older adultsNutrition, unintentional weight loss, sarcopenia, sensory loss, skin integrity, and dysphagiaMultimorbidity, caregiver burden, capacity, consent, elder abuse, and vulnerabilityCare transitions across home, hospital, rehabilitation, and long-term care settingsAcute deterioration, prognosis, goals of care, palliative approaches, and clinical escalationParticular attention is given to the questions that frequently make geriatric medicine difficult: Which problem should be prioritized first? Which abnormalities truly require treatment? When does treatment burden outweigh expected benefit? How should care change when frailty, cognitive decline, or limited physiologic reserve becomes clinically significant?The book also includes practical appendices covering common monitoring parameters, comprehensive geriatric assessment, functional and frailty tools, cognitive and fall-risk assessment, medication review, deprescribing, red flags, and care-transition frameworks.Written for medical students, residents, primary care clinicians, nurses, physician associates, trainees, and other healthcare professionals caring for older adults, this book provides a clinically focused reference that is detailed enough for professional use while remaining organized and accessible.GERIATRIC MEDICINE SIMPLIFIED keeps the central goal of geriatric care in focus: not simply treating disease, but preserving independence, reducing avoidable harm, and aligning medical decisions with what matters most to the older adult. An essential companion for every clinician navigating the realities of caring for aging patients. This item is printed on demand.
