Description
Students will consider comorbidities, atypical presentations, geriatric syndromes, polypharmacy, and other influencing factors such as stereotypes of aging and prescription challenges for the hospitalized patient. Focus will be on developing a culturally and spiritually appropriate, interdisciplinary management plan of the adult-gerontological patient who is experiencing an exacerbation of a chronic health condition or acute illness. Emphasis on evidence-based practice, legal regulations, and ethical standards will continue.
