O knihe
Underscores the complexity of prescribing drugs for older adults while
providing state-of-the-art guidelines for safe patient care
An evidence-based, quick-access reference for adult gerontology nurse practitioners and related
healthcare providers, this text describes a holistic, patient-centered approach to prescribing
drugs to older adults. Comprehensive yet concise writing distills timely guidance on the
complexities of safely prescribing to this unique population.
This book opens with physiologic changes and assessment considerations for older adults,
followed by a discussion of pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics, then a final section on
guidelines for drug selection, drug interactions, and multimorbidities. Each chapter presents
information in a consistent, easy-to-read template. Patient Care Pearls alert readers to crucial
information and relevant case studies with examples of inappropriate medical prescribing
provide context for drug delivery. Key points and chapter summaries help reinforce information.
Additional features include the provision of guidelines for psychotropic medications in LTC
facilities, special considerations for frail older adults, and the role of pharmacists as a resource
for other practitioners.
