The results showed that bone minerals in...
Questions
Question (1)
If you work in a crowded emergency unit, you would face a growing population of aged patients in the emergency department. As a consequence of longevity and physiologic changes of the elderly, numerous health conditions arise that need more attention and take more time for treatment and discharge education to prevent further problems! If you don't pay enough attention to the problems like polypharmacy, frailty, difficulty in the activity of daily living, and so on, the patient would come back sooner with more complicated situations!
What do you do in that situation?
