Care of Frail Older Adults with Geriatric Syndromes (3)
This graduate course elective examines the theoretical and practice basis for nursing care of frail older adults with geriatric syndromes (falls, delirium, polypharmacy, immobility, pain, pressure sores, depression) in institutional long-term and/or acute care settings. Framed on evidence-based, best practice, and theoretical models of health, students learn about patient-level and organizational systems-level care for the prevention and management of geriatric syndromes. Using interactive and interdisciplinary case-based seminars students explore health concepts and metrics of selected risk factors, vulnerability, resilience, and proactive nursing solutions at the individual and organizational level for management of geriatric syndromes. This course blends a theory component with faculty-led guided practice experiences and seminars at a teaching nursing home site and/or acute care geriatric unit.
