Description
Based on the popular format of Ferri's CLINICAL ADVISOR, this text provides a comprehensive, quick reference for the examination and care
of geriatric patients. Five separate sections - covering everything from diseases and disorders to prevention guidelines - focus on the
special considerations presented by this growing segment of the patient population. Three appendices provide critical, at-your-fingertip
information for evaluating and managing the geriatric patient. The book/website/PDA package is your clinical decision making tool. A
formulary appendix - in both print and online - makes this a convenient and complete resource for geriatric point-of-care diagnosis and
treatment.
