Description
Based on the popular format of Ferri’s CLINICAL ADVISOR, this text provides a comprehensive, quick reference for the examination and care of geriatric patients. Five separate sections – covering everything from diseases and disorders to prevention guidelines – focus on the special considerations presented by this growing segment of the patient population. Three appendices provide critical, at-your-fingertip information for evaluating and managing the geriatric patient. The book/website/PDA package is your clinical decision making tool. A formulary appendix – in both print and online – makes this a convenient and complete resource for geriatric point-of-care diagnosis and treatment.
