| Summary |
Current Diagnosis and Treatment: Geriatrics, 3rd edition, is written for clinicians who provide care to older persons. In the context of a rapidly aging population, clinicians are continually adapting their practice to meet the needs of their older patients. Current Diagnosis and Treatment: Geriatrics provides a framework for using a person's functional and cognitive status, prognosis, and social context to guide diagnosis and treatment of medical conditions. In this edition, authors apply the principles of geriatric medicine in different care settings to address common conditions and diseases and manage common symptoms and concerns encountered by clinicians in the care of older persons |
