Annotation This bookis designed to present the clinical geriatric trends within general internal medicine and family practice, where practitioners often have limited training in eldercare. Chapters focus on increasingly difficult clinical decisions that practitioners have to make in caring for older adults, whooftenexperience medical complications due tomemory loss, physical disability, and multiple chronic conditions. Written by experts in the fields, each of these chapters start with the most up-to-date clinical geriatric research and provide specific examples or case studies on how to use this information to address the clinical needs of senior patients. In addition, there is a set of concise take-home points for each chapter that are easy to commit to memory and implement in clinical care of aging patients.
