It is desirable to see that people are living longer, but they also face an increasing number of healthcare and socioeconomic issues. It is a well-established fact that health-care costs increase toward the end of life.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eGeriatrics is a medical specialty of providing health care for the older adult. Their health-care needs differ from those of the younger population. This handbook addresses various medical problems as it relates to older patients. Prevention of health hazards and expression of compassionate care deserve as much attention as providing appropriate medical care. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis handbook is ideal for: \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMedical professionals who render much of the current geriatric care in many parts of the world.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e-Physicians, physician assistants, nurses, allied professionals, and gerontologists.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eStudents, interns, residents, fellows\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAging adults.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eCaregivers and family members of aging adults \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eHealthcare administrators\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAwareness of aging adults' needs, palliative care, and end-of-life issues with their emotional, moral, and financial aspects are often ignored or forgotten in the busy life of a medical practitioner. Today, medical science focuses more on short-term fixes and immediate problem solving instead of treating the whole person. Hence, a considerable amount of a senior's care falls on the shoulders of nurses, aides, and on family members.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe authors hope this handbook will illuminate the healthcare needs of our aging population.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 234\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.53 x 9 x 6 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e October 15, 2024\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48343360930041,"sku":"9781734470154","price":32.38,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0789\/2782\/3097\/files\/r5vUS-2sy9781734470154.webp?v=1777697831","url":"https:\/\/bookscloud.io\/products\/geriatrics-handbook-paperback","provider":"BooksCloud Book Dropshipping","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
