Gerontological Nursing

Paper Summary:

This paper examines how nursing in a geriatric setting demands a holistic approach to patient care. Not only is custom-tailored, interdisciplinary physical disease treatment and prevention important, but social and spiritual involvement of patient, caregiver and community as well. It presents case studies to analyze different patient experiences alongside relevant literature, how they corroborate or digress from each other, and what insight and recommendations can be drawn from these experiences.

From the Paper:

"Gerontological nursing is a challenging field for the individual and medical team. It demands unwavering dedication to patient, caregiver, community and complex decision-making alongside other peers of the medical team. The ability to establish rapport and express empathy towards the aged, who may not even be lucid enough to appreciate the efforts is in itself another challenge, can push personal and professional limits. In spite of these challenges, the rewards transcend material gain. These case studies aim to present and analyze different patient experiences alongside relevant literature, how they corroborate or digress from each other, and what insight and recommendations can be drawn from these experiences.
