Description
This is one of the specialty references to accompany the keystone titles (chronic & acute pain) in a series of pain management references for use by primary care providers (NPs, PAs, CNSs) in clinics, hospitals, palliative care settings and in specialty care courses and for clinical nurses (RNs) in specialty settings such as critical care. The concise, portable, clinically oriented book provides quick access to needed pain management guidelines presented in a consistent format. It is designed to help guide practitioners assess pain in the geriatric patient population. This book will cover the experience of pain in the elderly, what impact it has on an individual's lifestyle, pain assessment in older patients, medication options for treatment, reconditioning and complementary methods for controlling pain. The bulleted text with highlights and the inclusion of tools for assessment and standardized treatment order sets will provide a wealth of information for the busy practitioner.
